Cordless Vacuums

Shark cordless vacuums combine powerful cleaning performance with cordless freedom, giving you the ability to move between rooms, floors and even take your vacuum out to the car while enjoying our best technologies. We also offer a range of run-times to suit your needs, whether it will be your main vacuum or just for quick cleans.

The best cordless vacuum for you will depend on your home and needs. Shark cordless stick vacuums are slim, flexible and lightweight – perfect for cleaning under furniture and storing in smaller spaces – while cordless vacuums convert to handheld mode to make it easy to vacuum stairs and inside the car. Look out for DuoClean if you have carpets and hard floors or choose Anti Hair Wrap if you struggle with hair tangles.

Yes! Shark cordless vacuums feature removable, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, so you don't have to replace the entire vacuum when battery life diminishes.

Keeping your Shark cordless vacuum clean is key to maintaining strong suction and long-term performance. Here's what to do:

1. Open the filter housing, remove the foam and felt filters, and gently tap them over a bin to remove loose debris. Many Shark models recommend rinsing pre-motor foam and felt filters every month under normal use.

2. Rinse the filters with cold water only — do not use soap — then gently squeeze out the excess water and allow them to air-dry completely for at least 24 hours before reinserting.

3. Empty the dust cup regularly and wipe it clean with a dry cloth.

Note: Before performing any maintenance, turn off the vacuum and allow the machine to cool if it has been in use.

For carpet cleaning, we recommend Shark cordless vacuums with DuoClean brushrolls. This 2-brushroll deep-cleaning nozzle technology provides continuous contact with all surfaces, digging deep into carpets, directly engaging hard floors, and picking up more dirt in every pass. 

Top pick:

Shark PowerDetect™ Cordless with Auto Empty Base: Features 4 intelligent technologies that detect hidden dirt, edges and corners, carpets and floors, and cleaning direction — then automatically boosts power when dirt and debris are detected.

Shark offers several cordless vacuums built with pet owners in mind, all featuring self-cleaning brushrolls designed to tackle pet hair without the dreaded hair wrap. Here are the top picks:

Shark PowerDetect™ Cordless + Auto Empty Base: The most advanced option for pet households. It features a dual brushroll system specifically designed for pet hair and all floor types, and its PowerDetect technology automatically boosts suction when it detects dirt, debris, and pet hair. 

Shark PowerPro™ Pet Cordless: A great mid-range pick. Its self-cleaning PowerFins nozzle provides no hair wrap and is equipped with FloorDetect™ technology, which automatically adjusts brushroll speed based on floor type — with up to 50 minutes of runtime.

Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum: The everyday value option. It combines powerful suction with cordless convenience to deliver deep cleaning on all floor types, with a removable handheld vacuum for cleaning from floor to ceiling. Includes a Pet Multi-Tool for tackling embedded fur on upholstery and stairs.
