Shark and Amazon have both cut the price of the highly-rated PowerDetect vacuum cleaner
Shark and Amazon are battling it out with a £200 discount on a top-rated Shark vacuum cleaner. The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner is now down to £299.99, marking a 40% price cut from its original £499.99.
This deal is on both the Shark website and Amazon. Shark describes its PowerDetect as a ‘powerful, intelligent, deep-cleaning’ vacuum cleaner, equipped with two brush rolls and multiple sensors that automatically ramp up its cleaning power for optimal performance.
It also detects edges, corners and floor types, increasing suction when necessary. Unlike many of its competitors, this model scoops up dirt when pulled backwards as well as forwards, while the anti Hair Wrap Plus feature eliminates hair from the brush-roll as it cleans, reports the Express.

This makes it perfect for homes with pets, and the included motorised pet tool can be used to remove hair from upholstery. The battery is capable of running for 70 minutes, with the charge level displayed on an LED screen that also includes the ‘Dirt Detection’ feature.
Another key feature is the ‘Flexology’ wand, which allows the vacuum to bend to clean under furniture, or fold over for compact and freestanding storage. If you’re looking for a premium vacuum cleaner, Dyson has also launched its own spring sale with a £80 discount on the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute, now priced at £299.99, was £379.99.
However, if you’re on a tighter budget, the Smoture Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is a great option at £159.99 from Amazon (down from £169.99), boasting a 4.8-star rating and ‘powerful’ suction that competes with high-end brands. Shark’s PowerDetect Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner has an overall 4.3-star rating from both Shark and Amazon customers, and more than 150 four and five-star reviews.
One customer said: “Better than my Dyson. The vacuum seems well made and has much better suction than my Dyson, it vacuums to the edges and definitely does a better deeper clean.
“Having three dogs we need a vacuum that can cope with all the hair. The anti hair wrap function works really well. Battery life is really impressive and allows me to clean our four bedroom house in one go.”
A second wasn’t as pleased; they wrote on Amazon reviews: “The auto-empty version in the UK does not have a cyclone, so all the dirt clogs up the filter and makes the machine overheat and cut out. There are many, many issues with this, and Shark needs to fix it.”
Another customer added: “Shark’s PowerDetect cordless is fantastic. Bought this to replace my Dyson ball and it is so much better in every regard.
“Suction is fantastic, aided by the smart sensors and it’s so easy to use. No wire to get in the way and the charge lasts long enough to do our whole house with capacity to spare.”
A fourth said “Great performance. It comes with a good range of tools that can fit any lifestyle and reach those tricky spaces. The suction is impressively powerful and it adjusts automatically based on dirt levels, reducing the amount of time you spend cleaning. Plus, it’s easy to store and has a smart design that prevents hair from tangling in the brush head and separating it from the dust.”
Yet, they also pointed out a gripe, adding: “The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy, but the performance more than makes up for it.”
