The Shark PowerDetect IP1251 focuses on automated cleaning with its "Detect Pro" firmware, which adjusts motor speed based on the amount of debris it senses. This helps optimize battery life and suction power without requiring manual input. The dual-brushroll system includes a comb-like structure to help manage hair wrap, and the unit features a fully sealed HEPA system that traps the majority of fine particles.
The frame is made from impact-modified ABS, providing a sturdy feel, though the larger dust cup does shift the weight slightly toward the wrist. The "MultiFlex" hinge is a practical feature that allows the wand to bend, making it easier to clean under low furniture without bending over. The internal cyclonic system is designed for high-velocity separation to keep the filter cleaner for longer.
While the runtime can reach up to 70 minutes in its most efficient mode, a full recharge takes about 3.5 to 4 hours. The unit also includes an Odor Neutralizer Technology cartridge to help keep the exhaust smelling fresh. Regular cleaning of the sensors on the floor nozzle will ensure the automated features remain accurate.
