The Shark PowerDetect Corded Stick Vacuum excels in delivering a deep clean across various home environments. Its DuoClean Detect Technology combined with Floor Detect intelligently adjusts to surfaces, providing optimal suction on both hard floors and carpets without manual intervention. This means you can effortlessly move from a wooden floor to a rug, confident that the vacuum is adapting.
For tight spaces and under furniture, the Flexology wand is invaluable, bending to reach those notoriously difficult areas like under sofas and beds without you having to stoop. When cleaning above-floor surfaces such as stairs, upholstery, or even inside your car, the quick conversion to a handheld unit with included attachments like the Multi-Surface Tool and 30cm Crevice Tool makes these tasks simple and effective.
Pet owners will particularly appreciate the Pet Power Brush with Anti-Hair Wrap Technology and the Anti Hair Wrap Plus floorhead. These features work in tandem to efficiently lift embedded pet hair from carpets and furniture, actively preventing tangles around the brush-roll, which significantly reduces maintenance. The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal and Anti-Odour Technology contribute to a fresher, cleaner home environment, making it a good choice for households with allergy sufferers.
