Shark PowerDetect Speed Cordless Stick Vacuum
Shark's lighter PowerDetect stick weighs 7.1 lb assembled and 3.5 lb as a hand vac, and it is the model Shark now sends Stratos Cordless shoppers to. Runtime is rated at 60 minutes with a 0.5 qt dust cup and HEPA filtration. The 5-year warranty is long for the category, and a Clean & Empty version with a self-emptying dock (IA3241) costs $70 more.
