I don’t mind admitting that I expected a much bigger vacuum cleaner when I unboxed the Shark Cordless Detect Pro for this review.
With an auto-empty stand, HEPA filters and a raft of automatic dirt detection features listed on the spec sheet, I was expecting a beast of a vacuum.
But Shark has managed to compress all of its tech into a tiny and lightweight vacuum. That obviously does come with some limitations — most notably battery life — but does make using the vacuum much more manageable.
This is a stick vacuum perfect for apartment dwellers, though it also serves as a great secondary option to support a robust robot vacuum.
