Overview of Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 Upright Vacuum
This release adds to Shark’s new PowerDetect line, which includes several intelligent detection systems recently seen in the Shark PowerDetect Robot Vacuum:
- Dirt Detect: Senses embedded dirt and boosts suction power to remove more debris.
- Floor Detect: Adjusts brush roll RPMs and suction power based on floor type, increasing efficiency.
- Edge Detect: Identifies corners and edges, increasing suction to clean tight spots effectively.
Additionally, the PowerDetect upright vacuum introduces a fourth intelligent technology, Direction Detect. This technology senses the direction of the vacuum’s movement, directing suction forward or reverse as needed for maximum cleaning efficiency.
This Shark vacuum cleaner also includes an enhanced DuoClean Detect roller system that senses and adapts to various surfaces, ensuring optimal performance on both carpets and hard floors.
Advanced Hair Wrap Capabilities
The Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 is designed to effectively handle long hair, short hair, and pet hair on both carpets and floors. The vacuum’s system grips and captures embedded hair, preventing wrap-around on the brush roll.
Classic Power Lift-Away Mode
The Powered Lift-Away Technology in the Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 allows users to detach the canister while keeping the brush roll spinning, making it easy to clean under furniture and reach high places like curtains and corners. This successful feature, seen in previous Shark models like the Stratos and Vertex upright vacuums, enhances versatility by transforming the vacuum into a stick vacuum. Users can also detach the wand for high and tight spaces, maintaining powerful and consistent suction.
Allergen Control and Odor Neutralization
The AZ4002 features an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal that captures and traps over 99.99% of dust and allergens with HEPA filtration. This ensures that allergens are kept out of the air you breathe, promoting a healthier home environment. Additionally, the vacuum includes odor neutralizer technology to combat bad odors, keeping your home fresh. One odor neutralizer cartridge is included with the vacuum.
Versatile and User-Friendly
The Shark PowerDetect AZ4002 includes several useful tools:
- Duster Crevice Tool: For detailed cleaning in hard-to-reach areas.
- Multi-Tool: Versatile attachment for various cleaning tasks.
- HairPro Self-Cleaning Pet Power Brush: Ideal for removing pet hair from upholstery and other surfaces.
