5 Easy to use and cordless!
Posted by Maria Roberts on Dec 11th 2024
Very nice cordless vacuum. Its very simple to put together and they include a battery and a charging brick. You just put it together and charge the battery (to charge it fully the first time is recommended). Once charged you slip the battery in, the then turn on the vacuum. It has an eco mode (save energy) and an auto mode. I just prefer the auto mode. It will automatically sense how dirty the floor is and adjust suction power accordingly. Apart from that, it has several sensors. One is the one I mentioned already (detects how dirty your floor is and adjust power accordingly), another is it will detect if you are next to a wall (edge detect) and it will increase power to that edge so no debris are stuck on your wall edges (it does work, you can tell only the side facing wall lights up and speeds up faster). It also detects the type of floor your are on (i.e. carpet, hard floor etc) and auto adjusts itself accordingly. Finally is the light detect, basically illumination on the front if its very dark, so you can see what you are vacuuming. They all work and are not gimmicks at all. Real good suction and leaves my carpets super clean and the battery last for my whole home (this may vary depending on your home's size, I would recommend to keep a spare battery). The only con I could see is that they do not include many attachments, only a small attachment for hand vacuuming, but then the focus of this device is vacuuming your floors really well, which it is great at! (the attachment is good enough for me to use it on crevices and also on my sofa, near the edges where you know, some food or snacks may get trapped). Cleaning it after a job is as easy as opening the flap where the debris gets accumulated and dropping them on your trash, really easy to clean! Highly recommend it if you are looking for a simple but great cordless vacuum for your home. Get rid of the cables!

5 Perfect little vacuum for my apartment
Posted by Carla Rogers on Dec 2nd 2024
I love this vacuum! It's perfect for my 850 sq ft apartment. The suction is super strong. It's very light weight and doesn't get clogged with my very long hair (My last vacuum broke because of this). The battery life seems to be holding strong. I vacuumed my whole apartment and still have battery left over. I love Shark products and this makes vacuuming super easy.

5 Almost perfect
Posted by Audrey Castillo on Nov 24th 2024
This new Shark cordless vac is really nice. We use it to clean our home and occasionally our parents home This vacuum is light and has a lot of suction. It is equipped with ultra-intelligent detect suite. This allows the vacuum to detect and adjust both roller speed and suction depending on the need. It has an LED light on the base and on the head that will also show you how clean the floor is. Blue=Area is Clean, Orange=Debris is being cleaned, Red=High amount of debris is detected. My experience with this is it stayed blue most of the time. You need to vacuum over larger particles to have it step to orange. It does not change colors with simple pet hair. Another cool feature is the edge detect. When using the edge of the vacuum, it detects the edge and increases suction when needed. LightDetect automatically illuminates dark spaces as needed as well. The roller is very different as well. They call it a QuadClean Multi-Surface brush. It is real soft with a couple rows of standard brush material and a couple strips of rubber. It does a great job on both carpet and hard floors. Pretty impressive. Hair does not seem to get wrapped around the roller. But if you do need to clean the roller, one push of a button allows you to slide it right out the side for easy cleaning. I also appreciate the ability to clean throw carpets without the vacuum sucking it into the roller. It does a real nice job here as well. Excellent transition between hardwood and carpet. Sharp finally got the storage right. You can disconnect the handle and hang it on the shaft of the vacuum. No more resting against the wall and dealing with the vacuum tipping over. The battery – I do wish it came with two, but it is not bad. I would say you can do about a 1500 -2000 sq. ft home on one charge. I will look to buy another when I can find one available. Emptying the canister is super easy. I have two dogs, so I need to empty it about 3-4 times per house clean. You simply press the button with the trash icon and the bottom of the canister will spring open and the dirt falls out. No need to get your hands dirty. (Make sure you are holding it over the trash can). Cleaning the filters seems easy enough when needed. I do wish that either they had brush extension on the Crevice tool or offer a separate tool that did. I do mis that when cleaning vents, base boards etc. All in all, this is a great value. Light, cleans fantastic, easy to maintain etc. Just missed on the brush tool and either a longer running, or extra battery. They would have a home run with those changes. (Minus 1 star) I would recommend it to others.

5 Finally I got the right vacuum

4 Impossibly light & great for small cleanups/spaces
Posted by Sarah Sloan on Nov 7th 2024
Shark and Ninja products have generally always impressed us–they tend to be great performers that offer really good value for the money, especially when held up against their often pricier competition. This new Detect Pro cordless stick vac continues that trend by offering some outstanding performance in a feather-light form factor that makes it absolutely ideal for dorms, smaller apartments/condos, or for regular use by the elderly or others who may have difficulties muscling a heavier unit about. It’s not perfect, but it definitely earns its place on the short list of powerful cordless stick vacuums you should consider. Not that style should matter much when you’re talking about a vacuum, but the main unit of the Detect Pro is actually somewhat stylish with a combination of white, black and brass with an easy-to-read, easy-to-use LCD display at the rear. The battery pack clips into the bottom of the handle in the same fashion as a modern cordless drill; there is a small LED display on the battery itself to indicate charge status and you can charge up the battery by itself or while it is attached to the vacuum. Even with the battery installed, the handheld unit is surprisingly light and can easily be used one-handed for small/quick pick-ups; this was not really the case with the 4 year-old Shark ION F80 handheld stick vac we are still using to this day. The 8” crevice tool can be used by itself for handheld vacuuming, or you can mount it at the end of the vacuum stick for corners, edges and behind furniture without needing to bend over. But the star here is an outrageously maneuverable lighted brush head that turns the Detect Pro into a powerful upright. The head pivots and swivels making the unit almost zero-turn around table legs and corners and lays almost completely flat to get WAY under beds, cabinets, and other furniture. The front of the brush head assembly features an array of bright white LEDs that does a really solid job of illuminating dimly lit corners or areas under furniture The brush itself is an odd combination of rubber blades, soft-bristle pickups, and a deep but tightly woven velour-type roller material. Shark calls it a “self-cleaning” roller brush and that respect they’ve kind of delivered! We emptied four appallingly dense dust cups of dust, hair, and debris and yet the brush head still looked almost out-of-the-box fresh. Shark also claims the design helps keep hair from accumulating around the brush head. We have three LONG-haired women in our household and I was surprised that virtually no hair was wrapped around the brush head even after using the Detect Pro for a week straight. However, brush removal was dead simple with just a single push-button release in case you find you do need to give the roller some TLC down the road.s Shark touts several other innovations with this Detect Pro hand vac including to-the-edge vacuuming and auto surface/dirt detection. In practice, we found these features to live up to the hype. Apparently, the design of the head increases suction at the very edges of the roller brush to improve pickup along wall edges and baseboards…that was one of the first things my wife commented on after she used it for the first time. The Detect Pro function was interesting in that it really did dynamically adjust suction power and speed depending on how dirty the floor, carpet, or other surface was. There’s an LED readout on the vacuum head as well as on the main unit’s rear display that indicates whether the surface is clean (blue), dirty (yellow), or shamefully filthy (red). If you do a thorough cleaning that changes the red or yellow areas of your carpets/flooring to blue and then return to the same location later, the blue readout and subsequent lower-power sound/suction from the main unit will confirm that indeed there is no more dirt or debris to consume. You do have to be a bit reasonable in your expectations of course–there is no tiny gnome inside the brush head that instantly changes the suction power as you sprint from rugs and runners to hardwood or tile flooring; but at “typical” vacuuming speed, the Detect Pro was clearly (and effectively) altering suction and power levels to accommodate the various surfaces and carpet/rug heights and dirt levels in our home. Emptying the dust cup is another exercise in simplicity–just hold the unit over a trashcan and press the release button at the front. There is a handy mesh filter at the back of the dust cup that keeps hair and larger debris from entering the intake and motor assemblies. But to help up the cleaning ante even further, there is also a removable/washable/reusable pre-motor filter, as well as a removable/washable/reusable HEPA filter under a quick-release cover. Together, these filters supposedly trap all dust and dirt down to 3 microns in size. Controls are simple with only two buttons to worry about–one for power on/off, the other for vacuum/suction power setting. In addition to the Detect Pro’s “Auto” self-adjusting surface/dirt setting, there is an “ECO” setting that adjusts suction power a bit lower for enhanced runtime if you have light cleaning to do across a larger area. There is also a BOOST setting that turns your little hand vac into a small jet turbine for really stubborn or deep cleaning, but that extra power obviously comes at the cost of decreased runtime on the battery. Speaking of which, using only the “Auto” setting, we were able to do a full vacuuming of our master bedroom, walk-in closet, and two large area rugs before the battery ran out of juice–about 25-30 minutes of total runtime. You can monitor battery level during use with the 4-segment battery level indicator on the main display, and from our completely discharged battery to get back to 100%, it took a little over 4 hours using the supplied charger. For all the Detect Pro does and for how well it performs, there are some things that could have made this unit an even better value and stronger recommendation. For one, the lack of a brush attachment of any kind seems like a clear oversight for the asking price. I was able to use the Detect Pro’s crevice tool to suck out all the thick dust and dirt buildup on the louvers of our home’s metal air filter covers, but it would have been a LOT easier with a simple brush attachment or even just a brush collar attached to the crevice tool. The runtime is also somewhat limiting. At only 25-ish minutes or less on anything other than the lower-power ECO setting (as well as the , the Detect Pro isn’t really designed for serious, deep whole-house cleaning, though it will probably serve you well for in-between cleanings, 1-2 room cleanups, or simply staying on top of smaller living areas like an apartment or condo. Frankly, an extra battery in the box would have been an amazing pack-in as it would let you continue cleaning on a second battery that had been waiting in the wings while your first battery heads back to the charger. Unfortunately, at least as of this writing, a replacement battery pack isn’t even listed on Shark’s website as an available accessory for the Detect Pro! Hopefully this is just because the Detect Pro is so new to the market; but at the very least it would be nice to know up front how much more of an expense will be required to extend the runtime with a second battery. Finally–and this is starting to pick nits here–the integrated storage clip at the bottom of the vacuum’s stick attachment does a good job of giving you a spot to prop the hand-vac portion of the Detect Pro for storage. However, there is no place to attach, snap, or otherwise store the crevice tool with the rest of the vacuum–now there’s just another small piece of nondescript plastic we have to keep track of. We decided to use some heavy-duty Velcro to secure the crevice tool to the head itself, but given how well everything else was designed, this seems like another obvious and somewhat irritating oversight. Another such design irritant is the fact that the power and vacuum setting buttons are just slightly too high to activate with the thumb of the same hand that is holding the main Detect Pro unit. Our other Shark hand-vac is a 4 year-old Shark ION F80 MultiFLEX–it is also a convertible handheld/upright cordless unit, but the design is such that you can change the vacuum settings on the fly one-handed; the buttons on the Detect Pro are JUST a bit too far out of reach even for me, and I can easily palm a basketball. Again, it’s a small thing to be sure, but it was a design element that was appreciated on the last Shark unit and will be missed here. Overall, however, the Shark Detect Pro really DOES have a lot going for it so long as you’re not expecting all the power and cleaning time of a massive upright. Definitely recommended if you’re in the market for something lightweight yet powerful that doesn’t have to service an acre and a half of interior carpeting and floors.

5 Sucks Wonderfully
Posted by Nathan Jensen on Nov 7th 2024
It does its job. I saw a few reviews about the battery life, but my place is small enough to vaccum before the battery dies. Great on carpet and vinyl flooring. Easy to clean and easy to use *chefs kiss* Tried several handle configurations, works for vaccumming my car too. Love it

1 Terrible customer service ( false advertising)
Posted by Eric Moore on Nov 1st 2024
When I bought this vacuum I had look everywhere to find the right vacuum and finally I saw it and it was at Best Buy on the website and after looking at the pictures I thought I found the right device it came with the self emptying device and the battery last a long time so when I received the package I realized that it didn’t come with the emptying device and I was surprised and I even show the staff at Best Buy and he was surprised too but reading into the information and detail it said that not only it doesn’t come with but is not even compatible! I was very sad so I call Best Buy where they transfer me to a call center in Bangladesh where the people was so rude and they blame me for not reading every single word on the website and they also said it should be shark fault they haves is the info but I told them you are responsible for posting something on your website At the end they treated me so awful and hang up Honestly after all this years buying from Best Buy I think I’ll take my business and money somewhere else Very disappointed with Best Buy

3 Decent vacuum, could be better
Posted by Christina Nelson on Oct 28th 2024
After a month of almost daily use, still not what I was hoping for. It’s a decent vaccuum overall with bells and whistles, and definite pros and cons. **Pros: lightweight, great suction, picks up larger debris pieces easily, super maneuverable swivel head, bright headlights, and easy emptying (a little too easy, I sometimes tap the button by accident and it’ll pop open and spill, so also a con). **Cons: doesn’t suck up much in reverse (it’ll push stuff backward instead), collects A LOT of hair on the bottom brush behind roller (attached pic) which gets spread around while you’re vaccuuming, vaccum doesn’t work on some materials (floor brush head didn’t work at all on my dog’s car seat cover because the material was slippery), auto power boost is delayed by a couple seconds sometimes, floor brush head locks into upright/standing position too easily (have to kick it back down while vaccuuming), and this product lacks a wall mount, yet the vaccuum barely stands on its own. The vaccuum also came with a small blue stain on the white motor unit straight outta the box which was lame. Probably going to keep this vacuum because I don’t want to search for a new one, and it’s still a pretty good vacuum, but I’m not as happy with it as I hoped to be.
