We ditched flip phones for sleek smart devices and swapped CRTs for crystal-clear widescreen displays a long time ago. So why are we still dealing with dust clouds and messy emptying when we vacuum? Many of us continue to lug around clunky vacuums that make a mess or kick up a coughing fit whenever we clean.

Lightweight cordless vacuum cleaners have been around for a while, and they’ve only grown more capable with time. The Shark® Cordless PowerDetect™ Clean & Empty system is worth a serious look as a machine that combines powerful suction with practical features, tackling messes and keeping things orderly.

It’s powerful

If you're sick of running your old vacuum past the same spot, the first thing to know about the PowerDetect Clean & Empty is that it’s strong. Measured by universal testing standards, this happens to be Shark’s most powerful cordless suction out.

Most vacuum nozzle designs block airflow, causing them to push larger debris along their kitchen floors, chasing it around only to clean it on a forward stroke. The redesigned nozzle on this gadget features "gills" that pull in debris on hard floors, allowing it to clean in every direction — no more chasing debris around the kitchen floor.

There are brains to go with that brawn, too. Intelligent onboard tech can sense different surfaces and adjust to grab debris that often goes hidden, and a dual brush design can manage all kinds of surfaces: wood, rugs, and everything in between. No more busting out the broom when your vacuum can’t handle half your space: Floordetect can read the surface it's on and adjust power to deliver just the right amount of suction needed.

It’s practical

While strong and tech-infused is all well and good, any new cleaning regimen has to fit into your lifestyle. It’s easy to say your current vac is fine, but consider what an upgrade can do to make cleaning less laborious.

After a long cleaning session and other chores, it’s easy to forget or skip recharging and emptying your vacuum. The Shark® Cordless PowerDetect makes it easier by having a charging dock that also empties the vacuum into a 2-liter chamber. This means you're done dealing with a messy container or bag — just a vacuum ready to go.

And it's flexible, too

There’s also the MultiFLEX® technology that lets the vacuum bend without losing power. This way, suction stays steady while you maneuver around corners and underneath the furniture. That flexibility also comes in handy when the job is done — it folds up for easy storage. There’s even an odor-controlling feature on the Auto Empty dock so that no unpleasant smells can escape.

If we're being honest, nobody is in love with their vacuum. But with superior suction, self-emptying ability, floor-sensing powers, and flexibility, this new vacuum from Shark is worth a look if you’re tired of cleaning after you've cleaned.

The Shark® Cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty system is available at www.SharkClean.com for $499.
