About This Vacuum
The Shark POWERDETECT Upright Vacuum is a full-size corded model built around five Intelli-Sense sensors that detect dirt, floor type, edges, and cleaning direction, then adjust power automatically. The DuoClean Detect system pairs two brushrolls with smart sensors to handle both carpets and hard floors without manual switching. Dirt Detect identifies hidden debris and increases suction on demand. Edge Detect boosts power within 2 inches of walls and baseboards. Floor Detect recognizes surface changes and adjusts brushroll speed. Direction Detect optimizes suction for forward and reverse passes. The self-cleaning brushroll resists hair wrap, and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration captures 99.99% of dust and allergens. This vacuum suits larger homes, heavy carpet areas, and pet owners tackling embedded hair and dander. At 22.3 lb, it's heavier than stick models but runs indefinitely on cord power. It's heavy for an upright and can be hard to push or carry, though the cleaning usually makes up for it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It pulls sand, fine dust and dog hair out of carpet with strong suction, and you rarely need to go back over the same spot twice. Dirt Detect on the PowerDetect raises power when it senses hidden debris, so heavier patches get extra suction without you changing a setting.
Yes, even for an upright. At 22.3 lb it takes some effort to push across thick carpet, and carrying it between floors is a chore. The cleaning results usually make up for that, but if you'll be hauling the PowerDetect up and down stairs every week, factor the weight in.
They change power so you don't have to. Edge Detect boosts suction within 2 inches of walls and baseboards, Floor Detect adjusts brushroll speed when you move from carpet to hard floor, and Direction Detect tunes suction for forward and reverse passes. The PowerDetect has five sensors in all.
It shouldn't. The brushroll is self-cleaning and built to resist hair wrap, which saves cutting tangles out by hand in a home with pets. The PowerDetect's DuoClean Detect system runs two brushrolls, so it moves between carpet and hard floors without a manual switch.
