The Shark PowerDetect Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner is a strong choice for pet owners looking to tackle pet hair and household dust efficiently. Its standout feature is the DuoClean Detect brush system with two brush rolls and sensors that adapt to different floor types, helping it pick up debris both forwards and backwards. This means faster and more thorough cleaning, especially on carpets and hard floors where pet hair hides. The vacuum has a powerful 750W motor, which offers good suction strength for deep cleaning.
A HEPA filtration system and Anti-Allergen Complete Seal work well to trap dust, pet dander, and allergens, making it a good option for allergy sufferers. It also includes an anti-odour technology to keep the vacuum smelling fresh. With a 1.3-litre dust capacity, the vacuum can hold a decent amount of dirt before needing to be emptied, which is practical for homes with pets.
The product comes with helpful attachments like a pet tool, crevice tool, and dusting brush, plus a convenient tool bag, adding versatility for cleaning furniture, corners, and delicate surfaces. However, at 7.72 kg, it’s a bit on the heavier side, which might make it less ideal if you prefer a very lightweight vacuum. The 8-meter cord provides good reach without frequently changing sockets. This Shark vacuum is well-suited for pet owners wanting strong suction, effective allergen control, and versatile cleaning tools. It balances power with features that specifically help manage pet hair, though its weight and potential noise might be considerations depending on user preferences.

A standout feature is Shark's Anti Hair Wrap Technology, which actively prevents hair from tangling around the brush roll, saving you time and effort during cleaning. The vacuum also includes LED headlights that help reveal hidden pet hair and dust in low-light areas.
Filtration is handled by an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens, which is important for households with allergy sufferers. The foam filter complements this by capturing fine particles, ensuring cleaner air. The 0.83L dust cup capacity is decent for regular home cleaning, though frequent emptying might be needed in homes with multiple pets.
Attachments like a pet power brush, upholstery tool, crevice tool, and a car kit add versatility, allowing you to tackle pet hair beyond floors, including furniture and car interiors. The Powered Lift-Away feature transforms the vacuum into a portable unit, making it easier to clean stairs and tight spots. Being corded with an 8m cord requires proximity to power outlets, and at 7.29 kg, it is on the heavier side for some users, which may make extended cleaning sessions tiring. This Shark vacuum excels in pet hair cleaning with thoughtful tools and technology but might be less convenient for those who prefer cordless or lighter models.
