Shark • Cordless Stick Vacuums
Shark PowerPro Cordless Stick Vacuum
A versatile cordless stick vacuum with up to 50 mins runtime, self-cleaning brushroll and HEPA filtration — ideal for everyday Australian homes, especially pet-owners.
Shark
Shark is one of the most recognised vacuum brands in Australia, with a range that spans cordless stick vacuums, corded uprights and dedicated pet-focused cleaning tools. The brand's positioning sits between budget machines and the premium German engineering of Miele or Kärcher – Shark leans on sensor-driven automation and convenience features as its main point of difference.
At the top of the cordless range, the PowerDetect Clean & Empty System ($1,199.99 RRP) brings an auto-empty dock and a bending MultiFLEX wand to compete directly with Dyson's flagship models. The same PowerDetect sensor technology appears in corded form in the PowerDetect Corded Upright ($799.99 RRP), which adds Powered Lift-Away for portable above-floor cleaning. For pet households on a tighter budget, the Navigator Pet ($449.99 RRP, frequently discounted) pairs a self-cleaning brushroll with HEPA filtration at one of the more accessible price points in the corded upright category. Shark's StainStriker HairPro Pet ($399.99 RRP) covers a different job entirely – spot and stain cleaning of carpets, rugs and upholstery rather than whole-room vacuuming.
Below we've reviewed Shark's key Australian models with full specifications, genuine likes and dislikes, and a clear verdict on who each one suits.
