The Shark PowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum with Auto-Empty Base (Model IP3225) delivers Shark's most powerful cordless suction with intelligent cleaning technology. This Java Ice Blue vacuum features four advanced detection systems that automatically sense dirt, edges, floor types, and cleaning direction to boost power exactly when needed. The PowerFins Detect nozzle with DirectionDetect technology captures debris in both forward and reverse strokes, eliminating the common problem of pushing dirt around during back-strokes.

The auto-empty base charges and empties the vacuum after every clean, holding up to 45 days of dirt and debris. With a 70-minute runtime in ECO mode, this 17.5-pound vacuum covers extensive cleaning sessions. The 10.2-inch cleaning path features an anti-hair wrap self-cleaning brushroll and Dirt-Reveal LED illumination. The MultiFlex wand bends for effortless under-furniture reach and compact storage.

Advanced HEPA filtration system includes felt and washable foam pre-motor filters plus a HEPA post-motor filter for cleaner air. The 0.7-quart dust cup handles daily cleaning needs between auto-empty cycles. Functions as both a stick and handheld vacuum with included accessories: 8-inch crevice tool, motorized hand tool, anti-allergen tool, and dual accessory dock. The LCD display shows operating modes, dirt detection levels, and battery status. Operating at 380 watts with a 21.6-volt battery, this vacuum earned a 4 out of 5 star rating from TechRadar and received Vacuum Wars' Best Overall Cordless Vacuum Award. The system charges fully in 6 hours and includes a five-year limited warranty with two-year individual parts coverage.
