Let’s be honest; vacuum cleaners aren’t the prettiest. But while most of us simply shove our vacuums in a cupboard and hide them from view, Shark has just flipped the script and released the Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum (£499.99 at Shark) that’ll make you proud to have it on show.
The best Shark vacuum cleaners come in so many different shapes and forms, but this new Luxe Collection is designed to ‘live beautifully in your home’ as part of your interior design choices – offering a selection of four muted, luxurious, and admittedly rather sexy colourways. And it’s fair to say that it’s a far cry from the standard black and white options we’re used to.
These luxe colourways have been attached to the brand’s newest release, the Shark PowerDetect Speed Clean and Empty Pet Pro Cordless Vacuum, which I gave a glowing 5-star review and use almost daily in my house. So, I predict these new colourways will be a sellout…
Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum – Walnut
Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum – Harbour Slate
Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum – Oatstone
Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum – Sagewood
I was lucky enough to see the new Luxe collection in person a few months ago at Shark’s HQ, and it really does combine the utility of a regular vacuum cleaner with a design aesthetic to be proud of.
With the choice of Walnut, Oatstone, Sagewood, and Harbour Slate – or the classic non-luxe Ultramarine, which I have at home – the Shark PowerDetect Speed Luxe Collection Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum also comes with a compact auto-empty dock.
This dock can hold up to 45 days’ worth of debris before needing to be emptied (admittedly one of the most tedious aspects of vacuuming), and will automatically charge the cordless vacuum so it’s always ready for grab-and-go cleaning.
As if that wasn’t enough, the tools – combined duster-crevice tool and motorised hand tool, which is perfect for homes with pets – have their own storage spots on the dock, so everything is housed in one place. And in these luxe colourways, it really does make a statement.
The 60-minute run time, Flexology wand and anti-hair wrap technology are all perks, too, but it’s the four Detect technologies that really impressed me most. The vacuum automatically boosts cleaning power and direction based on the floor type and debris level, and detects edges for the ultimate clean.
In fact, I loved this vacuum so much that it’s now become my go-to to use at home – which, as Ideal Home’s Certified Expert in Vacuums, should prove that it’s a worthwhile addition to your cleaning routine.
But if you’re not quite sold on the new Luxe colourways but are still intrigued by the vacuum itself, I’m also happy to report that the classic Ultramarine I have has now been reduced from £499.99 to £299.99 at Shark, following these new releases.
If you are looking to add a luxe colour to your home, though, I’d suggest being quick. When Ninja (from the SharkNinja family) released two luxurious colourways of the bestselling Luxe Café Premier Espresso Machine, they sold out almost instantly.
So, I wouldn’t wait to get your hands on one!
