The new Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean and Empty Pet Pro cordless vacuum Ultramarine IA3241UKT has been reviewed, with its self-emptying and charging station noted as a key feature designed to make vacuuming more convenient.
The base station is claimed to hold 45 days' worth of dirt and automatically empties the cleaner's 0.47l collection bin into a 2l chamber. It also charges the vacuum, ensuring it is ready for use.
The top-end model, the IA3241UKT, has a recommended retail price (RRP) of £499.99 and includes a motorised hand tool. Versions without the self-emptying station and motorised pet tool are available for £429.99 (IA1241UKT) and £399.99 (IA1241UK).
In cleaning tests, the vacuum performed well, clearing 99% of cat litter and 96% of flour on carpet with a single pass. It showed even better results on hard floors, collecting all cat litter and 97% of flour, and effectively removed pet hair from both carpet and hard flooring.
