Verdict

The Shark IW3510UK Detect Pro is an ultra-lightweight 240W cordless stick vacuum cleaner featuring a 21.6V removable lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 60 minutes of runtime. It stands out with a 1.3L bagless Auto-Empty base that holds up to 30 days of debris, a 0.4L on-board dust cup, an Anti Hair Wrap brush roll, and an Anti-Allergen Complete Seal. A primary pro is its integration of four automated deep-cleaning sensors—DirtDetect, EdgeDetect, FloorDetect, and LightDetect—which optimize suction and performance dynamically, alongside its highly maneuverable 2.79kg build. However, prominent cons include a small on-board dust cup, limited bundled accessory attachments, a noisy auto-empty cycle reaching up to 82 dB, and a significantly reduced battery life of under 15 minutes when forced into maximum power mode.
