Shark POWERDETECT Upright Vacuum

Meet the Shark POWERDETECT Upright Vacuum—a full-size powerhouse that brings intelligent automation to traditional upright cleaning. This corded model delivers Shark's most powerful suction and advanced cleaning technology, using five distinct Intelli-Sense sensors that automatically detect and respond to dirt, floor type, edges, and cleaning direction. The DuoClean Detect system combines two brushrolls with smart sensors to optimize performance across carpets and hard floors without manual adjustments. The POWERDETECT excels at deep carpet cleaning and whole-home sessions where runtime isn't a concern. Dirt Detect sensors identify hidden debris and boost power automatically, while Edge Detect increases suction within 2 inches of walls and baseboards. Floor Detect recognizes surface changes and adapts brushroll speed accordingly, and Direction Detect optimizes suction for both forward and reverse passes. The self-cleaning brushroll prevents hair wrap, and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal with HEPA filtration traps 99.99% of dust and allergens. This vacuum fits households prioritizing deep cleaning performance over portability—think larger homes, heavy carpet areas, and pet owners dealing with embedded hair and dander. At 22.3 lb, it's heavier than stick models but delivers consistent, unlimited runtime. The trade-off is clear: maximum cleaning power and intelligent automation in exchange for the weight and cord management that comes with a traditional upright design.
