Why Choose a Corded Vacuum Like the Shark Detect Lift-Away XL?
Corded vacuums never run out of battery, so you can clean your entire home without interruptions. The Shark Detect Lift-Away XL leverages this advantage with a powerful motor and innovative features that rival any cordless model.
DuoClean Technology for Every Floor
The DuoClean dual-roller floor head combines a fluffy roller and a brush bar, making it effective on both carpets and hard floors. You don't need to switch heads—just glide from room to room.
Detect Function Adjusts Automatically
A built-in sensor detects the floor type and adjusts roller speed instantly. This means no manual switches when moving from kitchen tile to living room carpet.
