Shark's Most Advanced Cordless Cleaning
Experience powerful, intelligent whole-home cleaning with the Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner IP3251UKT.
Designed to combine high-performance cordless cleaning with maximum convenience, the PowerDetect uses multiple intelligent technologies to detect your surroundings and automatically optimise its performance as you clean.
Its DuoClean Detect floorhead cleans in both forward and reverse directions, while sensors respond to dirt, flooring, edges and cleaning direction. Once you've finished, simply return the vacuum to its base and it will automatically empty and charge, ready for the next clean.
PowerDetect Intelligence
The PowerDetect is designed to do much of the thinking for you.
Its intelligent cleaning system responds to your home as you move from room to room, automatically adapting cleaning performance according to what it detects.
Dirt Detect identifies dirtier areas and boosts power where additional suction is needed.
Floor Detect recognises different floor types and adjusts performance accordingly.
Edge Detect increases cleaning power along edges and corners where debris commonly collects.
Direction Detect recognises whether you're moving forwards or backwards, helping the floorhead clean effectively in both directions.
Cleans in Both Directions
Most vacuuming traditionally happens on the forward stroke.
Shark's Reverse Clean technology changes that.
The DuoClean Detect floorhead is designed to collect debris as you move both forwards and backwards, helping you clean more efficiently with every movement across the floor.
DuoClean Detect for Carpets & Hard Floors
The PowerDetect uses two brush-rolls within its DuoClean Detect floorhead, helping it tackle different surfaces throughout the home.
Multiple sensors monitor cleaning conditions and adapt performance as you move, making the IP3251UKT particularly useful in homes with a mixture of carpets and hard flooring.
Automatically Empties After Every Clean
This is where the IP3251UKT becomes particularly convenient.
When you've finished vacuuming, return it to the Auto-Empty Base.
The system automatically removes the collected dirt and debris from the vacuum's dust cup and begins recharging the battery.
The base can hold debris for up to 45 days, dramatically reducing how frequently you need to manually empty your cordless vacuum.
Anti-Allergen & Anti-Odour Base
The Clean & Empty system isn't just about convenience.
Shark's Auto-Empty Base features an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal designed to lock away fine dust, debris and allergens once they've been removed from the vacuum.
It also incorporates Anti-Odour Technology, helping guard against unpleasant smells developing inside the base.
Anti Hair Wrap Plus
Pet hair and long hair can quickly become tangled around conventional vacuum brush-rolls.
Shark's Anti Hair Wrap Plus technology actively removes hair from the brush-roll while you clean, helping keep it free from tangles and reducing the amount of manual maintenance required.
Designed for Pet Owners
The UKT version is particularly well equipped for homes with pets.
A Motorised Pet Tool helps lift embedded pet hair from sofas, stairs, upholstery and other surfaces that can't be cleaned with the main floorhead.
Combined with Anti Hair Wrap Plus and automatic emptying, this makes the PowerDetect a compelling option for homes where pet hair is an everyday cleaning challenge.
Flexible Whole-Home Cleaning
Detach the handheld vacuum and the IP3251UKT becomes useful for much more than floors.
The included accessories allow you to tackle furniture, upholstery, stairs, corners and other above-floor surfaces, giving you one cleaning system for jobs throughout the home.

Who Is the Shark PowerDetect IP3251UKT Best For?
This is the Shark I'd position for someone who wants both premium cleaning performance and maximum convenience.
It makes particular sense for busy family homes, pet owners, mixed flooring and people who vacuum frequently.
The big difference between this and the other self-emptying Sharks we've done is that you're not simply paying for the dock.
You're getting Shark's more sophisticated PowerDetect cleaning system and DuoClean Detect floorhead, including the ability to clean effectively in both directions, plus the Clean & Empty system.
So within Redmond's range, this should clearly feel like a step up rather than another variation of the same Shark cordless vacuum.
