Shark is no stranger to a good vacuum and at this point, I can find myself getting a little confused about which vacuum is which. Fortunately, the brand is well-versed in giving its vacuums names that lay out what each one is aiming to do.
This rings true with Shark’s latest release — the Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty System. And what I’m really impressed about here is that Shark is finally combining two of its greatest features — smart technology and self-emptying.

The Shark PowerDetect Speed Empty & Clean System is a bit of a mouthful, but its name is such because of how many features it packs in. So, I won’t complain too much.
Shark has your at-home space in mind and has created a lightweight, easy-to-maneuver vacuum that’s compact enough to fit into smaller or busier homes. And that’s all great news, but what I’m really interested in is the technology it packs in that’ll both clean up your home and the vacuum itself.
PowerDetect Intelligence is one of Shark’s most impressive features, automatically sensing mess and cleaning it up. Whether it’s large debris or dirt hiding across multiple surfaces, the technology is dedicated to getting rid of it.
Throw in Dirt Detect that boosts power up to 50% in high-traffic areas and Edge Detect for increasing suction along walls and corners and you’ve got the next level of clean. There’s even the TurboPro Detect brushroll here to really disturb and suction up the mess. A brushroll, I must add, that is also self-cleaning.
For smaller spaces, up to 60 minutes of runtime should be no issue, but there’s also the hands-free Auto-Empty Dock, which is one of Shark’s other great features. Not only will it charge your vacuum, but it’ll also empty it after every clean and hold that debris for up to 45 days.
Here’s why I can’t wait to try it

My current Shark vacuum has been putting in the hard work for a few years now, but I’ve been on the hunt for a replacement. So, when I heard that the Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean & Empty System is “compact enough to fit seamlessly into smaller or busier spaces”, the fact I have two small kids running around my home immediately sprung to mind. I vacuum a lot, but it never seems like enough with constant crumbs and debris.
Being able to try out a combination of Shark’s PowerDetect technology that I’ve only been about to read about up until now with the self-emptying dock of the cordless vacuum is what I’m really excited to try out. Plus, the MultiFlex wand can get where I’m sure I haven’t vacuumed in a really long time.
I’m almost nervous to see how much dirt the technology picks up on, sensing dirtier areas, floor types, and cleaning direction around my home and boosting suction to suit. And with a powerful blue LED light to glisten over all that hidden dust, I’m looking forward to seeing what it achieves across my home the more I use it.
