There’s nothing quite like the feeling of ditching the cord.
Wireless charging, cordless CarPlay, battery-powered tools — when they work as well or better than their hardwired predecessors, it’s a thing of beauty.
Alas, sometimes cordless gadgets don’t live up to the performance they promise. This is especially true in the world of vacuums, where many cordless models lack the suction and run-time required to get the job done.
The Shark® PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty stands out by providing the best of all worlds: it’s powerful, intelligent and, perhaps most importantly, intuitive and effortless to use. Oh, and it does all of this at a price point that blows the competition out of the water.
Shark® PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum with Auto-Empty Base
More suction, more runtime
It’s one thing to develop a powerful motor to achieve enhanced suction. It’s another to do that while significantly boosting run time. Shark® has managed to do both, delivering the most suction of any of its cordless vacuums along with an impressive 70-minute run time.
In practical terms, this combination of suction and endurance translates to a cleaner house, faster. With more dirt and debris picked up in each pass, you won’t waste time repeatedly going over the same area. And with a battery that powers this super-sucker for such a long time, you can vacuum more square footage — possibly your entire house — without needing to stop and recharge.
SharkSmart features that actually work
Many modern home gadgets promise better performance through tech-driven features. The Shark® PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty actually delivers.
This machine utilizes three key technologies — Dirt Detect, Floor Detect™ and Edge Detect — all of which are controlled from the vacuum’s DuoClean Detect™ head, essentially the brains of the operation.
A suite of sensors constantly monitors conditions, automatically adjusting the power level to match the amount of dirt detected and the type of floor being cleaned. When the machine senses that it’s cleaning along the edge of an object — almost instantaneously — it boosts power to ensure debris in the corner between the floor and vertical surface is picked up in a single pass.
For the user, this translates to a simpler, foolproof cleaning experience. Gone are the days of manually adjusting the roller height when switching between hardwood and carpet.
Additionally, the machine’s DuoClean Detect™ head is engineered to work at any angle, in any direction of travel, and on any type of floor. Thanks to its DirectionDetect technology, it’s designed to capture more dirt, dust, and debris in a 20 percent smaller form factor. Its lightweight design is compact and maneuverable and the self-cleaning two brush roll system virtually eliminates hair wrapping.
So easy to use, you’ll actually want to vacuum
This vacuum has more than a few tricks up its sleeve that take the friction out of cleaning.
The auto-empty base addresses two common issues with cordless vacuums in one go. After each use, it automatically empties the vacuum’s dust canister and charges the battery.
In other words, whenever you need to use the vacuum, it’s fully charged and ready to tackle a canister full of dust bunnies with no extra effort.
The bagless base’s reservoir holds up to 45 days’ worth of dust and debris and includes a HEPA filter, which dramatically reduces the amount of dust you’re exposed to compared to traditional emptying methods.
All of this for just $499
Until now, if you wanted a fully featured cordless vacuum with anything close to the technology found in this vacuum, you’d expect to spend well north of $600 — sometimes more.
The Shark® PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty manages to pack it all in for just under $500, an incredible value when you consider how much technology and convenience is built in.
So, if you’re in the market for a cordless vacuum — or any vacuum, really — the Shark® PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty should be at the top of your cart.
