Notable Features

The Shark IP1251 PowerDetect Cordless Vacuum offers several key features to differentiate it from earlier Shark cordless vacuums:

• PowerDetect Technology: Automatically detects surface types, edges, and corners, adjusting power when more debris is sensed to ensure optimal cleaning efficiency.
• DirectionDetect Technology: Enhances cleaning speed by allowing the vacuum to pick up debris on both forward and reverse passes.

• Most Powerful Suction: Shark claims this vacuum delivers its highest suction power among all cordless models.
• DuoClean Detect Nozzle: This new floorhead features the PowerDetect technology working in conjunction with the dual brush rolls.

• MultiFlex Technology: The vacuum’s flexible wand makes cleaning under furniture easier.
• Battery Life: Delivers up to 70 minutes of runtime in ECO mode, Shark’s longest runtime yet.

Additional Tools and Accessories

The Shark PowerDetect includes a duster crevice tool and a pet multi-tool, both designed for reaching difficult spots and handling stubborn debris.

Clean & Empty System

There is also an option that includes Shark’s new Clean & Empty system, which automatically charges the vacuum and empties the dustbin, available on the Shark website. The dock locks away debris for up to 45 days, reducing the need for frequent emptying. The base also includes an anti-allergen complete seal system that traps 99.97% of allergens, along with Shark’s Odor Neutralizer technology.

Full PowerDetect Lineup

In addition to the new cordless options, the Shark PowerDetect lineup now includes an Upright Vacuum, a Robot Vacuum, and a Corded Stick Vacuum.
