The Shark IP3251UKT cordless PowerDetect Clean & Empty Pet vacuum weighs 3.71 kg, gives up to 70 minutes of run time per charge and docks on an Auto-Empty Base that clears the dust cup and recharges the battery whenever you put it back, so it is ready for the next clean. This White & Java Grey model pairs DuoClean Detect with Anti Hair Wrap Plus to keep pet hair off the brush-roll, and there is no dusty cup to tip out by hand.
Cleaning
Rated at 380 W, the vacuum relies on DuoClean Detect: a pair of brush-rolls working with multiple sensors that respond to the floor underneath and adapt to it. With DirectionDetect, Reverse Clean technology is designed to pick up as the floorhead moves both forwards and backwards, which speeds up the job. Anti Hair Wrap Plus removes hair from the brush-roll as you go, so long hair and pet hair stay off it and it remains free of tangles.
Everyday use
On a full charge the Lithium-Ion Battery runs for up to 70 minutes, and it takes 6 hours to recharge. Inside the base, Anti-Odour Technology and an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal trap fine dust, debris, allergens and odours, helped by the Anti-Odour Cartridge supplied with it. For sofas and stairs, the Motorised Pet Tool lifts the hair that gathers there. Supplied in the box:
- Auto-Empty Base
- IP3251UKT cordless vacuum
- Motorised Pet Tool
- Multi Surface Tool and Duster Crevice Tool
- Charger, Lithium-Ion Battery and Anti-Odour Cartridge
Size and installation
No installation is needed. Place the base close to a plug socket, since it handles both the charging and the emptying. Standing in its base, the vacuum measures 117.7 cm high and 47.19 cm across. The vacuum alone weighs 3.71 kg, rising to 8.4 kg together with the base. Its body is made of aluminium and plastic.
