Verdict

The Shark Detect Clean & Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner IW4621UKT is a 240W stick vacuum weighing 3.01kg that features a 0.42L onboard dustbin and a bagless 2L auto-empty base holding up to 45 days of debris. It offers up to 60 minutes of runtime via an 18V lithium-ion battery, a 5-hour charge time, and utilizes three intelligent sensing technologies—DirtDetect, EdgeDetect, and FloorDetect—to dynamically adjust suction power and its QuadClean Anti Hair Wrap brush-roll. Main advantages include its ultra-lightweight design, effective automated suction adjustments, complete anti-allergen HEPA sealing, and the convenience of a self-emptying, self-charging dock that includes a motorized pet tool. However, it suffers from a small onboard bin capacity, a slightly above-average noise level of 82dB, and a basic LED display instead of a precise percentage readout.
