Shark and Amazon have gone head-to-head with a £200 price cut on the Shark PowerDetect Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner, now available for £299.99. The deal, representing a 40% discount from the usual £499.99, is offered on both the Shark website and Amazon. This follows a recent £160 reduction on Shark's Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum, which was priced at £289.98 in the brand's Spring Clean Sale.
The Shark PowerDetect is marketed as a 'powerful, intelligent, deep-cleaning' vacuum, featuring two brush rolls and multiple sensors that automatically boost cleaning power. It detects edges, corners, and floor type, increasing suction as needed. Unlike many rivals, it picks up dirt when pulled backwards as well as forwards, and the anti Hair Wrap Plus feature removes hair from the brush-roll during cleaning. It includes a motorised pet tool for upholstery and has a 70-minute battery life with an LED display showing charge and dirt detection.
The vacuum also boasts a 'Flexology' wand that bends to clean under furniture or folds for compact storage. Shark's Spring Clean Sale coincides with similar offers from Dyson, which has cut £80 off the Dyson Cyclone V10 Absolute, bringing it to the same £299.99 price. For a more affordable option, the Smoture Cordless Vacuum Cleaner is available for £129.99 on Amazon, with a 4.8-star rating.
The Shark PowerDetect has a 4.3-star rating from 177 reviews, with 151 four and five-star ratings. One reviewer said: 'Better than my Dyson... much better suction... anti hair wrap works really well. Battery life is really impressive.' Another noted: 'Suction is fantastic, aided by smart sensors... charge lasts long enough to do our whole house.' A third buyer praised its performance but added: 'The only downside is that it’s a bit heavy, but the performance more than makes up for it.'
