The Shark PowerDetect Upright Vacuum Cleaner is designed for homeowners seeking a powerful and efficient solution for deep cleaning across all floor types, especially those with pets or allergy concerns. Its innovative DuoClean Detect technology and intelligent sensors ensure thorough dirt pick-up, even tackling pet hair and stubborn odors, though its corded design and 7.7kg weight mean managing the power outlet and some might find it heavy for extended upright use.

Reverse Clean Technology: Engineered for efficiency, this vacuum works effectively in both forward and reverse directions, allowing for faster and more thorough debris pickup across your floors.

Powered Lift-Away Technology: Transforms the upright vacuum into a portable cleaner at the touch of a button, allowing you to easily clean stairs, upholstery, ceilings, and other hard-to-reach areas.

The Shark PowerDetect Upright Vacuum Cleaner excels in diverse home cleaning scenarios. Its DuoClean Detect Technology makes transitioning from deep-pile carpets to hard floors seamless, as the brush-rolls and sensors automatically adjust to optimize cleaning without needing manual changes. This means you can effortlessly move from vacuuming a shaggy rug to a hardwood kitchen floor, picking up fine dust and larger debris alike.
For pet owners, the Anti-Hair Wrap Plus feature, combined with the Motorised Pet Tool, is a game-changer. It effectively lifts embedded pet hair from carpets and upholstery without the frustration of hair tangling around the brush-rolls, maintaining consistent performance and reducing maintenance time. The Anti-Odour Technology ensures that even after cleaning up pet messes, your vacuum won't retain unpleasant smells, contributing to a fresher home environment.
When cleaning above-floor areas, the Powered Lift-Away technology is invaluable. Simply detach the canister from the main unit, and you have a portable vacuum that can effortlessly tackle stairs, drapes, car interiors, and high corners. The included Crevice Tool reaches into tight spaces, while the Multi-Surface Tool is perfect for dusting shelves or cleaning upholstery.
The Reverse Clean technology significantly speeds up cleaning tasks. Instead of only being effective when pushed forward, the vacuum picks up debris efficiently whether you're pushing or pulling, leading to a faster and more thorough clean, especially in high-traffic areas or when dealing with larger spills. This intelligent design ensures you spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying your home.
