The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner is engineered for pet owners and busy households seeking a powerful, intelligent, and versatile cleaning solution. It excels at deep cleaning across various surfaces, adapting to dirt and floor types for optimal results. While offering impressive run-time and features like Anti Hair Wrap Plus and Flexology, its actual battery duration can vary depending on the mode used and cleaning intensity.
PowerDetect Intelligence: Automatically boosts power by up to 75% when more cleaning power is needed, ensuring efficient deep cleaning.
DuoClean Detect: Features two brush-rolls and multiple sensors that react and adapt to different floor types and cleaning demands for optimal performance.
DirectionDetect: Designed to effectively pick up debris and clean in both forward and reverse motions, enabling faster and more efficient cleaning.
DirtDetect: Intelligently senses areas with concentrated dirt and automatically increases cleaning power for thorough removal.
EdgeDetect: Recognizes edges and corners, enhancing suction to clean right up to skirting boards and into tight spaces.
FloorDetect: Automatically identifies the floor type (e.g., hard floor, carpet) and adjusts brush-roll speed and suction accordingly.
Reverse Clean Technology: Unique fin design allows the DuoClean Detect floorhead to pick up debris efficiently when pushed forward and pulled backward, unlike many cordless vacuums.
Anti Hair Wrap Plus: Features specially engineered bristles and a chevron pattern that actively remove long, short, and pet hair from the brush-roll as you clean, preventing tangles.
LED Display: Provides real-time readouts of Dirt Detection activity and current Battery Status, keeping you informed during cleaning.

The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner is designed for high-performance cleaning in a variety of real-world scenarios:
Deep Cleaning Carpets and Hard Floors: The DuoClean Detect floorhead, with its two brush-rolls, excels on both hard surfaces and carpets. FloorDetect intelligently senses the floor type, automatically adjusting brush-roll speed and suction to optimize cleaning. This means you can seamlessly transition from a tiled kitchen to a carpeted living room without needing to manually adjust settings.
Tackling Stubborn Dirt and Debris: DirtDetect ensures that when the vacuum encounters concentrated areas of dirt, it automatically boosts power. This is particularly useful for high-traffic areas or unexpected spills, providing a deep clean without manual intervention.
Pet Hair Management: For homes with pets, the Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology is a game-changer. It actively prevents hair from tangling around the brush-roll, meaning less maintenance for you. The included Motorised Pet Tool is perfect for lifting embedded pet hair from upholstery, stairs, and pet beds.
Edge-to-Edge Cleaning: Thanks to EdgeDetect, the vacuum increases suction along baseboards and into corners, ensuring no dirt is left behind in those often-missed spots.
Cleaning Hard-to-Reach Areas: The Flexology wand allows the vacuum to bend at the knee, making it easy to clean under low furniture like sofas, beds, and tables without having to stoop down. This feature also aids in compact storage.
Above-Floor and Handheld Tasks: Quickly convert the main unit into a powerful handheld vacuum. Attach the Duster Crevice Tool for tight spaces and dusting, or the Multi-Surface Tool for general upholstery and above-floor cleaning. The Motorised Pet Tool is also highly effective in handheld mode for car interiors or pet beds.
Efficient Cleaning Pace: The DirectionDetect and Reverse Clean Technology mean you don't just clean on the push stroke. The floorhead effectively picks up debris when pulled backward too, allowing for quicker overall cleaning of larger areas.
Adaptive Power for Various Needs: With ECO, DETECT, and BOOST modes accessible via the LED display, you have control over power consumption. Use ECO for lighter cleans to maximize run-time, DETECT for everyday adaptive cleaning, and BOOST for tackling tough messes.
Setup:
Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
Assembly: Assemble the main body, wand, and floorhead by clicking them securely into place. Ensure all connections are firm.
Battery Charging: Fully charge the battery before first use. Insert the battery into the charging dock or directly into the vacuum if it has an integrated charging port. The LED display will indicate charging status.
Tool Attachment: Select and attach the desired cleaning tool (e.g., DuoClean floorhead, crevice tool) for your specific cleaning task.
Compatibility:
Floor Types: Highly compatible with all floor types, including hard floors, tiles, rugs, and low to medium-pile carpets, thanks to DuoClean Detect and FloorDetect technology.
Cleaning Needs: Suitable for general household cleaning, deep cleaning, pet hair removal, and above-floor cleaning of upholstery, stairs, and car interiors.
Accessories: Designed to work seamlessly with the included Duster Crevice tool, Multi-Surface Tool, and Motorised Pet Tool.
Care:
Emptying Dustbin: Regularly empty the dustbin after each use or when it reaches the 'Max Fill' line to maintain optimal suction.
Brush-Roll Maintenance: While Anti Hair Wrap Plus significantly reduces hair tangles, periodically check the brush-rolls for any stubborn debris or hair buildup and remove if necessary. Refer to the manual for instructions on accessing the brush-rolls.
Filter Cleaning: Regularly clean the pre-motor and post-motor (HEPA) filters as recommended in the user manual to maintain suction power and air quality. (Info needed: Specific filter cleaning intervals and methods, e.g., rinse with water, air dry completely).
Battery Care: For optimal battery life, always fully charge the battery. Avoid storing the vacuum with a completely depleted battery for extended periods. If storing for a long time, ensure the battery is partially charged.
General Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior of the vacuum with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge any electrical components in water.
