Our Verdict

Shark Detect Pro [IW1111, IW3511, IW3615]

Shark PowerDetect Cordless

The Shark PowerDetect Cordless can be considered the bigger brother to the Shark Detect Pro. Both are cordless stick vacuums with automatic power adjustment systems and an optional self-emptying base station accessory. That said, the PowerDetect feels more robust, and it has a more powerful suction motor that results in better performance on carpeted floors. In comparison, the Detect Pro is smaller and lighter, which can make it a better option where space is really at a premium.
