This vacuum does exactly what I hoped it would do. We have six cats and bare floors, and despite liners and litter rugs, they get cat litter on the floor. This vacuum with the counter rotating rollers picks up the cat litter without flinging it behind the roller head. All other vacuums with a roller make picking up the litter tedious. I can now vacuum the house in about half the time that I could with our dyson and other vacuums.
I’m pleased with most of the features. I really like the self cleaning feature. I’m still disappointed in the power on bare floors. It seems that the suction isn’t strong enough. Perhaps it might be “operator error!”
The vacuum is great except, when you separate the top and use it, the top part doesn’t stay on if you try to get cobwebs with it. It stops working. But, other than that, it works very well!
I received this item in August. I have to say, I do love it for our hardwood floors. However, does anyone know the trick for it to work on a carpeted area or large area rug?!? It is crazy, I have to get our our old vacuum to clean these area's and I shouldn't have to do that considering this one is supposed to work on any surface and the price isn't real cheap. Please help! I have tried everything and nothing works.

I bought the cordless PowerDetect just a few weeks ago. I do like the concept of no cord but unfortunately the battery does not last long enough to vacuum my home. So I still need to vacuum with my corded vacuum too. I sure wish that Shark would include the second battery - which would certainly be helpful in keeping my floors clean. I like the clean/empty feature too. I empty it after each use even though you dont have to.
