Product Information

We were very excited to test the brand new Shark Detect Pro for a few reasons. The first is that it's unbelievably lightweight, at just 2.76kg, so your days of lugging around a heavy vacuum are behind you.

It also comes with Sharks duo clean technology with a soft roller and a brush roller built into the floorhead for seamless cleaning of both hard floor and carpets. Shark claims that it has all the power of a corded vacuum cleaner but in cordless form, and after testing we couldn't agree more. It's got DuoClean which makes switching modes immensely straightforward, and the controls make it easy to see how much battery you have left. To charge, simply lift out the battery on the side of the dust tank and pop it into its charging port.This vacuum is meant for floor cleaning only and so if you want to clean other surfaces such as the stairs or the car then you will need to use your own handheld hoover if you have one or you can pair it with Gtechs excellent handheld which is described below. LiftAwayoffers a removable central canister that can be lifted around to clean stairs and upholstery. This makes is easier to access tough spots, even cars. Some of the best value for money within vacuum cleaners as a whole is in corded as they provide the same power as equivalent cordless models but there is no expensive battery to pay for and you can also vacuum for as long as you want because it’s plugged into the wall so the battery will never run out. As this is a sealed bag 100% of what goes in stays in so it’s great for anyone with dust allergies and it also removes the need to clean out the waste container when it’s full because the bag just pops out and goes straight in the bin.
