Shark Detect Pro Review And How To Use

so this is the shark detect Pro vacuum and today we're going to give you a rundown of this vacuum now first off the detect Pro is a cordless vacuum and it does have a built-in battery now this built-in battery depending on which model you get it is removable now in order to remove this battery all you have to do is you just push on this button here big button and it just slides right out now this is good for two reasons number one if you want to have multiple batteries then that is a good option so that you can keep the battery going or more importantly if the health of your battery deteriorates after a few years of use instead of having to get a completely new vacuum you can always just replace the battery and your vacuum is going to be good as you now the detect pro has an advertised battery life of 40 minutes however that advertised battery life is with this vacuum running on auto however if you were to use this vacuum while set on eco then that is going to extend your battery or if you were to use this vacuum while in boost mode then that is going to drain your battery life faster now I am going to give you a quick demonstration of how this V vacuum works because there are some indicator lights on it that you do want to understand okay so right now as you can see we have a lot of dirt and just Dust Bunny spread out here on the carpet and I'm going to go ahead and give you a rundown of the indicator lights on this vacuum and also the different modes now first off in order to power this vacuum on all you got to do is press and hold on the power on button and once the vacuum is on it stays on you don't have to constantly hold down a trigger like you do with some of Dyson's older vacuums now right now this vacuum is set on auto however if you were to press this fan here that is going to move us over into Eco and what Eco does that is going to help extend the life of your battery however it is going to sacrifice on suction or if we were to press on the fan again that is going to move us over into boost and boost is the mode that you want to use if you have a big mess to clean however extended use of the boost mode on this vacuum that is going to drain the battery of this vacuum a lot faster and it is going to deteriorate the overall health of your battery so you basically only want to use boost mode when you have to now we're actually going to go ahead and explain the auto mode on this vacuum so again we're just going to go ahead and turn on the vacuum and this right here tells us that it is in automo and as you can see there are some indicator lights here on the top of the vacuum and there are some secondary indicator lights on the carpet cleaner head itself now basically what blue means it tells us that the area that we're currently on it is clean the vacuum is telling us that it is not detecting any dirt however if we were to move this vacuum a little forward into the Dust Bunny you're going to notice that now our indicator light is red and that is telling us that the vacuum has detected some dirt now once the light here turns into Amber that is basically telling us hey keep the vacuum where it is because the vacuum is currently working on cleaning that area and once you have the blue indicator light back on that is telling us that hey the area is clean and again if we were to move a forward right now this is telling us hey this area here is dirty we are detecting some dirt you should stay there and continue to clean and once it is turned to Blue that's telling us that the area is now clean and again if we were to move forward you're going to see that the indicator light is going to automatically turn red you're also going to hear that the vacuum itself is going to spin up and suck harder and as you can see the light turns Amber telling us that you should stay there because there's still more dirt to clean and once the light light is blue is telling us that the area is now clean and again we're just going to move forward and this is telling us that we have detected some dirt might as well clean this area and again if we were to move forward again it's telling us that we've detected dirt here stay here we're cleaning we're working on it and you want to stay here until the light turns blue like it just did so this is basically telling us that uh when the blue indicator light is there it's telling us that the surface is clean but now here comes the really cool part now as you can see all of the dirt and all of that dust is now collected inside here inside of the bin inside of the vacuum and now we're going to place this vacuum onto its storage um compartment this here now all you got to do is you are just going to slide this in and this does two things number one it is going to suck all of those dirt and put it into the bent inside and it's also going to charge the vacuum up

itself and there you go once you place this vacuum on to the dock every single time that you place this vacuum on the dock the dock is going to automatically clear the bin inside of your vacuum but also this dock is going to charge your vacuum up now all of the dirt and dust it gets transferred from the bin inside of the vacuum into this bin found in the dock itself which there is a handle here and this just comes right up and you can just take this to the garbage and empty it out there is a button here and all you're going to do is you are just going to press and then all of your dirt comes in now one of the cool things about the bin itself is that there are a lot of filters inside the bin as well so if you really want to get in there you are going to have to stick your hands in then and actually dig the uh dirt out but another thing about this bin is that this bin does have a built-in order neutralizer so basically even if you were to collect a lot of dirt and dust on in this bin the order neutralizer uh in it it is going to help keep your apartment smelling fresh and once this has been cleaned out all you got to do is just slides into the dock itself and you are good to go however if you can't make it to the auto dock to clean out the bin in your vacuum you can clean it out yourself by simply pressing on the button here and then that's basically going to open up your bin and that is going to release all of the contents of your bin okay but while we're here I'm going to go ahead and show you how to clean the filters found in this vacuum now in order to clean out the heo filter all you got to do is you just turn this do here you're going to turn this into the unlock position and now this whole end cap here is going to easily lift and this here is our HEPA filter there is a tab here all you got to do is press on down and then this just comes out you can run this over some cold water and what is clean and air dried all you got to do is just snap it back into position and you're good to go and again you're just going to grab this cap cover that and you just turn this dial into the lock position like so and in order to get into the prefilter which is inside of the vacuum all you got to do is you are going to open the bin first and again there is a button up here and then there are these two latches here on the sides all you got to do is you're just going to squeeze and then pull forward and now we have your secondary filter here and you can just go ahead and run this over some cold water as well you can always uh run this over cold water as well and get this nice and cleaned out and once this has now been air dried all you got to do is you just grab this here slide it in make sure it snaps and then close this back up and you are good to go again and this here is our motorized head now this motorized head is going to be useful for both hardwood floors and for carpets just right here we have very soft bristles and we also have uh these stiffer secondary bristles and we also have these rubber bristles here and these are the ones that are going to help you get deeper into any carpet that you might have and in order to clean this head here there is a button here on the side and again you're just going to push down and this is just going to slide out and this again you can run over some cold water and once it has been air dried you can just go ahead slide this back in and you are good to go once again now just keep in mind that there are some sensors built into to this corpor cleaner head here specifically there is a sensor here and there is another sensor here on the side so you just want to make sure that you keep those areas nice and clean so that this motorized head can do its job okay and finally we're just going to go ahead and talk about the non-motorized attachments that come included with the dtech pro now first off there is this crevice tool which it just snaps right in directly into the vacuum itself and as the name implies this crevice tool is going to be good for you to get into the harder to reach areas the only thing that I do want to point out about this crevice tool here is that it is not as thin as some other crevice tools out there so maybe the crevices they can get into with this tool can be a little limited but then there also is a duster that comes included with this vacuum as well and this duster does have some bristles up top and this is the attachment that you might want to use if you want to clean any upholstery any furniture or like let's say your keyboard This is the attachment that you might want to go ahead and use so with all that being said that was a quick rundown of the shark detect Pro now the shark detect Pro is a very versatile vacuum now personally I really do like the indicator light up top which tell you if there's any dirt that the vacuum is currently working on on picking up because it's going to help you make sure that before you leave an area it is clean I also enjoy the rather small form factor of this vacuum but the really cool thing about the detect Pro is the auto docking station which every time that you attach this vacuum onto the dock it is going to automatically empty itself out and all of that dirt it gets stored inside the bin now even though the dock itself is storing a lot of dirt and dust thanks to the odor neutralizer even if your dirt and dust stays in the bin for a very long time it's not going to start stinking up the place because of the auto neutralizer and then there's also the fact that since the dock also also serves as a charging base for the vacuum that means that every single time that you reach for this vacuum it is going to be fully charged and it is going to be fully emptied out

Dyson V11 Vs Shark Detect Pro - Is Dyson Worth It?

so this is the shark detect Pro and this is the Dyson v11 and today we're going to compare these two vacuums and we're going to tell you exactly what the difference between these two vacuums are and hopefully we can find the right one for you now obviously the first major difference between these two vacuums is that the Dyson V1 is noticeably larger than the detect Pro now the Dyson v11 itself weighs in at 4B and 9 oz and yes we are rounding up here whereas the detect Pro weighs in at24 Oz but when fully assembled the Dyson v11 weighs in at 6 and a half whereas the detect Pro weighs in at just a little over 6 lb and that is because the smart carpet cleaner head on this vacuum does weigh quite a bit so overall yes when fully assembled the detect Pro is notably more comfortable than the Dyson v11 because it is a little lighter but more importantly with the detect Pro when you turn this vacuum on it stays on you don't have to constantly keep a trigger held down whereas with the Dyson v11 since this vacuum does have a trigger that you have to constantly keep held down having to hold down this trigger can get a little tiring especially in the forearm after like let's say 20 minutes so overall the detect Pro is noticeably more comfortable than the v11 because the detect Pro is noticeably lighter but also the detect Pro does not have that trigger that you have to constantly keep held down however with the detect Pro there are some sacrifices that you have to make due to this vacuum's smaller size now first off there is the bin on this vacuum it is a little smaller than the bin found on vv11 however if you were to get the optional automatic automatic docking tool with the detect Pro then every single time that you attach the detect Pro to the automatic dock it is going to automatically empty itself and the the automatic dock also keeps your vacuum fully charged so anytime that you reach for this vacuum it is going to be ready to go because the bin is going to be empty and the battery is going to be full however from a performance standpoint with the Dyson v11 this vacuum does have more suction than the detect Pro however the Dyson v11 is notably louder than the detect Pro but so that you can hear for yourself we're going to do a quick test so here comes the detect Pro while it's in its eco mode so that is the that is Eco Mode on the detect Pro Here Comes eco mode on the v11 now here I do feel that the v11 is a little quieter than the tect pro and it also has more suction But Here Come the medium mode on both of these vacuums so that's medium mode on V detect Pro Here Comes medium on v11 now here I do feel that the v11 is a little louder than the detect Pro even though the detect does have a higher pitch hump to it and here comes a boost mode on both of these vacuums and here comes boost mode on vv1 here I do feel that the v11 is is notably louder than the detect Pro while in boost mode but again the v11 does have more suction than the detect Pro now when it comes to the battery life on both of these vacuums both of these vacuums have an advertised battery life of 60 Minutes however realistically with both of these vacuums if you use them while they're set to their medium modes or automatic mode on the detect Pro then both of these vacuums are going to be good for around 40 minutes of use just keep in mind that batter life on both of these vacuums are really varies depending on the setting that you have them in and it also varies on what attachments you're using however with the detect Pro the really interesting thing about this vacuum is that this vacuum will automatically adjust itself uh as to what what surfaces you're cleaning so with the detect Pro there are some LED lights on it both on the vacuum itself and on the carpet cleaner head that changed from Red Amber and to green and basically when the red light is on that is when this vacuum has detected dirt so obviously it is going to start sucking a lot more once the light changes to Amber then uh the suction of the vacuum does relax a little bit but it is telling you that hey you should keep the carpet cleaner here because we are currently cleaning this area and once the indicator light on this vacuum switches over to Blue that's basically telling you that this area has now been cleaned and send the vacuum DET tect that it's on an area that's already cleaned it is going to lower its suction so that is how this vacuum is able to optimize its overall battery life whereas with the Dyson v11 this vacuum does not automatically adjust its speed depending on what surface you're cleaning so with the Dyson v11 you are going to have to manually switch this vacuum from eco mode to medium and this is the mode that you're probably going to use most of the time and if you have a bigger mtic cream then you're going to have to manually switch it over to boost and once you're done with Boost you might want to switch it over to medium and if you want to extend your battery life then you want to switch this vacuum over to eco mode but now we have to talk about the included accessories that come included with these two vacuums now both of these vacuums come included with a motorized head and the motorized head on both of these vacuums have the same width to them and they also have the same height to them so both of these motorized heads are going to be able to get under the same furniture and with both of these motorized heads they both have a single roller however these rollers are very different now with the Dyson v11 you have this roller that has your set of soft bristles and these are the bristles that are going to do the better job here of cleaning up your hardwood floors and the Dyson v11 also has the stiffer bristles and these are the bristles that are going to get deeper into your carpet however the roller on the detect Pro is significantly more impressive because with the roller on the detect Pro this roller has a lot more soft bristles here so this is what's going to clean your hardwood floors but also we do have your stiffer bristles here and these are the ones that are going to get into your carpet but what is unique here is that with the detect Pro we also have these rubber fins which again is going to help this carpet cleaner head get deeper into those carpets and this carpet cleaner head is also filled with the sensors that your vacuum uses to decide when it should speed up or when it should speed down so overall I do feel that the carp cleaner head on the detect Pro does give you a deeper clean than the corpor cleaner had found on the Dyson v11 specifically because of those rubber fins which just aren't found on the Dyson v11 however with the Dyson v11 you also get this additional motorized tool here and this is the carpet cleaner head that you might want to use on your stairs your upholstery or if you have a Pet's bed but also both of the these vacuums come included with a Cris tool but the Cris tool that comes included with the Dyson is narrower and longer than the crevice tool that comes included with a d detect Pro so this might be important for you if you plan on doing detail work in your car and both of these vacuums also come included with a dusting tool however with the dusting tool on the v11 you can choose to either have the Brussel exposed or you can choose to put them away so with all that being said if you're trying to choose between the Shar detect Pro and the Dyson v11 both of these vacuums are very capable however the better buy here I do feel is going to be the detect Pro with the detect Pro this vacuum is notably smaller and lighter than the Dyson v11 making it more comfortable to use and also there is no trigger that you have to constantly keep held down but more importantly with the detect Pro you are going to get a deeper clean that you do with the the v11 specifically because it's corpor cleaner head has those built-in rubber fins which is going to help get deeper into your carpets but also the smart carpet cleaner head on the detect Pro is going to help automatically adjust this vacuum's suction speed that's giving you a better clean but more importantly it is going to help extend the battery life of this vacuum and also if you do decide to get the automatic Dock of the detect Pro with this automatic dock it is going to keep your vacuum's bin clean and it is going to keep your vacuum fully charged so your vacuum is always ready to go whenever you need it however with the Dyson v11 you do get an additional motorized tool but also with the v11 you are going to get better suction than you do with the detu pro however with the v11 this vacuum is going to be a little louder than the detect Pro and it is going to be a little heavier and again you do have that trigger that you have to constantly keep held down which can get a little uncomfortable especially in the forarm after like let's say 20 minutes
