About This Vacuum
The Shark IP1251 PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum uses 4 detection technologies to automatically identify hidden dirt, edges, corners, carpet transitions, and cleaning direction. When debris is detected, the PowerDetect system increases suction power. DirectionDetect captures dirt on both forward and reverse passes, cutting cleaning time. The redesigned DuoClean Detect nozzle has dual brushrolls for all floor types and strong hair pickup. Shark calls this its best cordless suction, measured at the handvac in Boost mode. MultiFLEX technology bends the wand to reach under furniture or folds completely for storage. Runtime reaches 70 minutes in ECO mode. The vacuum weighs 8 pounds. It works well for mixed flooring, homes with pets, and users who want automatic cleaning adjustments without switching modes manually.
Frequently Asked Questions
Plenty, for a stick. This IP1251 cleans carpet about as well as an upright and pulls up dirt that has worked down into the pile. Results aren't uniform, though: at least one unit came across as weak and short on battery, so test it on your thickest rug while it's still returnable.
Yes, mostly. The IP1251 raises power on rugs and eases off on hard floors without touching a button, which saves battery on bare floors. It reacts to hidden dirt, edges and carpet transitions, and picks up going forward and in reverse. The auto mode can take a few sessions to get used to.
The listing says it charges automatically on an auto-empty base. That's the main difference from listings that only mention the stick.
Shark quotes 70 minutes in ECO mode at the hand vac and calls it its longest runtime yet. Floor cleaning with the powered nozzle and higher power will come in lower.
A Flexible Crevice Tool and a Pet Multi-Tool.
8 lb, with a 0.7-liter dust bin. The MultiFLEX wand bends to get under furniture and folds for storage.
