Shark IP1251 PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum

Meet the Shark IP1251 PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum—an intelligent cleaning system that adapts to your home in real-time. This advanced cordless vacuum features 4 detection technologies that automatically identify hidden dirt, edges and corners, carpet transitions, and cleaning direction. The PowerDetect system boosts suction when debris is detected, while DirectionDetect technology captures dirt on both forward and reverse passes for faster cleaning sessions. The redesigned DuoClean Detect nozzle drives the performance with dual brushrolls engineered for all floor types and ultra-powerful hair pickup. Shark claims this delivers their best debris cleaning performance among cordless vacuums, powered by their strongest cordless suction measured at 558 ASTM standards in Boost mode. MultiFLEX technology lets you bend the wand to reach under furniture or fold it completely for compact storage. This vacuum targets households with mixed flooring, pet owners, and users who want automated cleaning adjustments without manual mode switching. The 70-minute runtime in ECO mode ranks among the longest available, though real-world performance varies by surface and detection activity. At 7.96 pounds, it's heavier than ultra-lightweight models but includes the intelligence and dual-brushroll system that lighter vacuums typically lack.
