PowerDetect Corded Stick Vacuum, Self-Cleaning, Eggplant, HZ4002

We originally bought the cordless shark stratos on sale at Costco, but returned it because it was extremely gutless. We decided to opt for a recorded version instead, and bought this one. This one is significantly more powerful. It’s very lightweight and easy to maneuver. Additionally, I like that I can remove the stick portion and attach the base to the suction section to do the stairs without having a long stick interfering with motion. It comes with several attachments to be able to clean, upholstery and other crevice area areas. The only thing that I find odd about this one is that you have to remove the waste cartridge in order to open it. So it doesn’t have a one touch button to immediately dump into the trash. You have to actually remove the canister. This isn’t a big issue for me. The suction power, and the extremely long cord make this one worth the cost. This was a high-end upgrade compared to our old model Bissell. We have a long-haired cat and this works really well for picking up pet fur. I also have Carpet of different pile heights. And it works on all different types. I really appreciate the feature where it automatically detects whether it’s on carpet or on hardwood. I’ve seen no issues with any scratching of the hardwood. And after owning it for several days, I am convinced that I should’ve bought this one the first time around.

This is the 3rd Shark stick vacuum that I have bought because I really like them. I ordered the Shark POWERDETECT Ultra-light Corded stick vacuum with DuoClean. The first one they sent was the wrong model but they quickly shipped out the right model and said to keep the one that they sent that was wrong, so good on Amazon. I just got the correct vacuum today, I like it. I had a Apex duo clean and wanted something more powerful. It definitely has more power, I am very happy with its cleaning power. I like the attachment for clipping the tools on the stick of the vacuum but so far they fall off quite easily if you bump something, maybe I will figure out how to avoid that. It has a nice long cord which some don't, it is stiff but workable. I would rather stiff than shorter that comes on different models. It switches between hardwood and rug very well. It picked all the dog hair out of my carpets. I like that it stands up on its own without having to take the handheld part off, that is a great upgrade from the Apex. Now what I do NOT understand is why Shark would eliminate the light on the handheld part, that is a real big negative for me. I am going to keep this vacuum for the things that it does better than the Apex but why Shark would do that just for a little bit of weight is what I am assuming is ridiculous. Also the pet power brush is a joke, as soon as it touches the couch it stops spinning unless held in a direct perpendicular angle to the furniture, the upholstery tool works great. But since I spent a little more to add the pet power brush it's disappointing, save a few dollars and don't get the pet power brush. Overall this is a really nice vacuum and I am happy with it. I think I will buy a little LED flashlight and attach it somehow to the handheld portion so that you can see what you are doing when you vacuum cornerts etc. There are so many different Shark stick models now make sure you choose the one that has the features you want!!What they sent first, that I got to keep anyway, was a Shark Detect Ultra Light Pet Pro. Just so that you that are researching can get two reviews on one review. This one is not a duo clean. It has a lot more power than my Apex did, but it has a shorter cord and also does not have a light on the handheld part, nor does it stand up. Not sure how much cheaper it is than the powerdetect duoclean but I would have been disappointed in it if after my Apex because of no light, shorter cord and not duoclean which really helps clean wood floors. This model does not have enough features for me to have been happy with it.

My last vacuum, a purchased used/reconditioned Shark (by accident) finally bit the dust, and this time I went for a new one, and newer model. A tiny bit more expensive than a comparable vacuum I considered, but this was highly rated by C.U. and sounded ideal. Happy I went with it.I feel like I'm the owner of a "smart vacuum", because it really is. And I do love the Shark build, and the stick with canister and options for attachments. I don't own a shedding pet, but like others said, first time over carpets and wood floors, and I was stunned how dirty it must've been. Filled the canister - and it is easy to empty, especially being used to the Shark buttons and levers etc.The main thing in terms of 'smart' is that it really does what the name says, it "detects" when I move from carpet to wood to carpet, with a light display showing the mode. And it gets up dirt easily in even the edges of the vacuum main unit, and the suction is, as many mention (C.U. review too), amazingly good. I'm ok with the long power cord, wrapping it onto the two guides/holders on the vacuum stick, unwinding as needed. No issues at all on some fuzzy bathroom rugs, which gunked up the last one frequently.I am a happy camper so far. As they say, "if it lasts and holds uo a long time" I'll feel blessed. But for starts, I am impressed and delighted.Coincidence! As I am writing this, an A/C unit is being installed in a window and the installer asked if I have a vacuum, to pick up all the gunk left in the window frame before mounting the new one. "It just so happens I have a *new* vacuum!I took it to the window, pulled off. just the top part (and attachment) and whisked it all up, handily. I'm a fan.

1/16/2025 Update: Yes, my title says "SOLD",...but now with one caveat. Aftre months of use, my opinion of this vacuum is still very high and all I wrote is accurate. The ONE caviat is that the cord is STIFF! I read all the reviews and a number of them indicted the cord was stiff, but I thought how stiff can it be with a bit of doubt. Well now months later, it's stiff to the point of being a pain in the backside! I think Shark could have done better making this a perfect stick vacuum IMHO. One might say shoulda bought a rechargable. Perhaps, but when you want it to run for a few hours and not worry about recharging, this was the right choice. Anyway, buyer beware. It's good, but the cord is STIFF!We've had a Hoover up-right for years. About two years ago, I purchcased a Shark Rocket vacuum. It was great for quicky vacuum jobs and even on carpet. This POWERDETECT is simply amazing! I was anxious to use it right out of the box which I did. All I can say, it is worth every penny AND SOME.What's to Love: 1) It simply works!; 2) It's lightweight. Some reviews indicated that it's heavy. I disagree completely. It's actually lighter than my Rocket.; 3) Some reviews indicate the oderizer is overpowering. My spouse is very sensitive to odors of any kind, and this is not over powering whatsoever. I'll admit some may have an ultra sensitive sense of smell, but this isn't at all bad.; 4) My Rocket pushes stuff around when you vacuum over it backwards. This POWERDETECT does not. This vacuum picks up small dirt items going fowards and backwards.Minor Detractors: 1) One "minor" detractor I might have about this vacuum is that it works so well, that the dirt and debris holder fills rather quickly. If you have pets and only vacuum about once a week, it will grab up dirt and hair at a rate such that you'll have to empty the container somewhat often. We have two dogs that shed fairly heavily so I can pick up enough hair in a 12'x12' (depending upon the room the dogs tend to say in) area that you may end up emptying the debris trap somewhat often. For me, this isn't a problem. The trap is very easily removable and empties in a minute.; 2) Some reviews mention the power cord is stiff. This is true. However, I assume that it's likely that way in order to last a long time and to tolerate a bit of abuse. NOTE: I chose a corded only because that's what I'm used to so it isn't a big deal to me. I read some reviews about the rechargable cordless vacuums that complained about usage time due to battery drain. Personally, I didn't want to deal with that.Summary: All I can say is that I love this vacuum. I've never owned a Dyson, but have heard great things. However, for the money, I can't imagine the "D" vacuum being all that much better. If you're researching stick vacuums, this is one to consider. Hope this helps.

We originally purchased this vacuum for vacuuming our stairs. The canister detaches from the stick and can be used almost like a handheld vacuum. We thought it would be easier than using the attachment hose from our current upright vacuum cleaner that we had been using. It is an improvement, but not as great as we thought it would be. However, overall we love how lightweight and powerful this vacuum cleaner is. We have been using it more than our previous upright vacuum because it is such a great vacuum cleaner. It automatically recognizes and adjusts to when it’s being used on carpet or hardwood floors, and it has a light, pleasing scent that is not too overpowering when using it (we have it on the lowest scent setting). We also love the bagless canister. It’s easy to empty and really surprising to see how much dust/debris that it vacuums up. We have been using it for about three months now and would highly recommend it.

Don't hesitate, buy it! This is the BEST vacuum cleaner I have ever bought! I did alot of research and comparisons before purchasing this vacuum. I'm soo glad that this is the vacuum I chose! It's outstanding!I purchased the Shark Navigator earlier this year to use as my regular weekly vacuum cleaner.I own a holland lop bunny that lives in the finished lower level. I have always used a separate vacuum for the pet hair on lower level. My last duo flex Shark gave out on me after 12 years and I decided to buy the Shark POWERDETECT in its place.Omg!! This is the best vacuum I have ever used!! I made the right choice!!1. The suction power on this baby is like no other vacuum I've used!! I couldn't believe how much suction power it has! The suction powe is the strongest that I have encountered, it maneuvers so easily on both carpet and hardwood flooring.2. It handles great moving from an area rug to the hardwood floor. With other vacuums I struggled physically with pushing and pulling when on higher plush area rugs. And on lower area rugs the other vacuums would always suck up the edges of the rug jamming the vacuum, not this one!3. It's lightweight. Great for those of us that are older or anyone that needs lightweight!4. It has a super long cord that makes it easy to cover alot more space before having to keep replugging it.5. I love that it has lights. I vacuum in the dark and it allows you to see all the dust and debris so much better with the lighting from the vacuum.6. Not all stick vacuums stand on their own, this one does!!7. Detachable so that you can vacuum and tight, hard to reach spaces as well as low and high spaces with the tools it comes with.8. The tools that come with it are perfect. I had purchased a long attachment tool for my Shark and that tool fits on the Shark PowerDetect also!! I especially love the tool for the stairs. Its light weight makes it so easy to vacuum stairs and has the best, strongest suction power than any other vacuum I've used.8. Self cleaning brush!9. It's a very flexible vacuum, meaning the top part of the vacuum has various levels to pull down thefrom the floor brush part of the vacuum. It can release all the way down to the floor, allowing you to get under most furniture, beds, etc.Like I said I have been using the Shark Navigator for the majority of my house. Not anymore!! The Shark PowerDetect beats the Shark Navigator Lift away with self cleaning brush!! I couldn't believe it!I immediately used the Shark PowerDetect on the main level of my house. I had just vacuumed the main level with the Shark Navigator a day prior. I decided to do a suction comparison and went over the main level with the Shark PowerDetect. Boy, was I amazed at how it picked up what the Shark Navigator left behind!! Again, I couldn't believe it!!This vacuum wins for me! Yes, being a stick vacuum it has a much smaller collect debris container and you have to empty more frequently. For me, the pros much outweigh that aspect.I don't normally leave reviews, especially so detailed. But the product was so impressive, that I felt compelled to share with others in the market for purchasing a new vacuum!!

Lightweight and stands on its own. Easy to use and glides across hardwood, tile and carpet. Quickly picks up dirt, dust, cat litter, pet hair and human hair. Easy to dump the canister. I was shocked how much it picked up first time I used it, since I had vacuumed the day before. I'm done with cordless vacuums as they only last 30-40 minutes before they die and I haven't finished vacuuming the whole house. Cord is long. Like the lights on the bottom, helps vacuuming under beds and darker spaces. I call it Sharknado!

Overall good vacuum. I bought it to supplement my upright Kirby. Has comparable suction power and a nice long cord. Has drive wheels so pulls itself forward with force; have to watch it or it will “get away” from you. Low head is nice for going under furniture, but so low to the floor that it easily sucks in cords, and makes it challenging to do rugs - have to be careful of that. Doesn’t have a way to rock the head back to go over something either. Biggest complaint is that the dust cup is tiny. I have a relatively small house and when vacuuming the first floor (~1000-1200 sq ft) I have to empty the cup about 6 times! (I do have a lab mix and a long-haired cat). Would recommend for an apartment.

Did an excellent job of detecting my wood floors and removing all the dust from them.This vacuum is a little heavier than I expected it to be.

Aspiras como si llevaras a pasear a tu perrito, te lleva sola

Eu tinha uma versão anterior do Shark Duo Clean, porém esse é muito superior.Bem mais silencioso, leve, facilmente armazenavel, pois fica em pé sem tombar. Excelente potencial de aspiração. Recomendo

I have had it a month and I like it so far. What is great about it is that it is very easy to use. I live in a dusty area where I need to dust frequently.

Muy mal producto. Solo duro 3 meses antes de que dejara de funcionar y no se sabe si fue la tarjeta electronica o el motor.
