Who is the comparison worthwhile for?
An option for frequent vacuuming if a permanent spot with a socket is available. For upholstery or pet hair, the specific motorised hand attachment included matters more than the total number of accessories.

BUYING GUIDE · NOT OUR OWN LAB TEST
Shark PowerDetect IP3256EUT
A cordless vacuum with Clean-&-Empty function for households that clean frequently. The extra cost should be judged against how much you'll use the dock and the right attachments.
When is it better not to buy?
Less suitable if there's no room for the station in the hallway, or if an existing vacuum already does the job reliably. If you mainly clean stairs, judge the handling and weight for yourself before deciding.
| Exact model | IP3256EUT; "PowerDetect" alone isn't enough for comparing offers. |
|---|---|
| QVC information | Three cleaning modes, up to 70 minutes' runtime, around six hours' charging time and approx. 3.71 kg. |
| Set check | QVC states Clean & & Empty along with several attachments. Confirm the station version and full scope of delivery in the current listing. |

Check before buying
- Measure the footprint and the space needed to take the vacuum out. Doors must still open fully.
- Don't plan around 70 minutes as a guaranteed runtime in the strongest mode; match the required motorised brush and mode.
- Calculate filters, battery and station consumables separately.
- Don't confuse the PowerDetect cordless vacuum with the robot of the same name. Compare the model code on every retailer's page.
Which alternative suits you?
The Livington Sense IQ is a comparison option without the station highlighted here. A fair comparison means: same floor, same task, required attachments and total cost. You can't derive a cleaning winner from runtime figures from different suppliers.

Comparing offers properly
Only compare identical model codes and the scope of delivery you actually need. Add shipping and any missing accessories. A bundle price is only worthwhile if you would otherwise have bought the extras separately.

Is every PowerDetect listing the same device?
No. The family name alone is too vague. Compare the full model code, design, station and set scope before judging a price as cheaper.
