Our take on the Shark Detect Lift-Away ADV Upright Vacuum

The Shark Detect Lift-Away ADV is an upright vacuum with a detachable pod, so it works as a full upright on floors and as a canister-style unit for stairs, upholstery and above-floor cleaning. Its PowerFins Detect brushroll changes speed and direction based on floor type and cleaning direction, and the Intelli-Sense sensor reacts to surfaces automatically. A HEPA filter and pet tools make it a fit for homes with pets and allergies. It weighs 17 lb, which is heavy for an upright, and the 25-foot cord means fewer outlet changes.

Questions and answers

Is the Shark Detect Lift-Away ADV worth it?
It is a strong pick if you have pets and a mix of carpet and hard floors, and you want one vacuum for floors, stairs and upholstery. If you want something light or cordless, a 17 lb corded upright is a poor fit.
How is it different from older Shark Lift-Away models?
The Detect ADV adds PowerFins Detect, which changes brushroll speed and direction, and FloorDetect, which raises brushroll speed up to 4x for hair pickup. Older Lift-Away models lack that automatic floor sensing.
Does it work on hard floors and carpet?
Yes. Intelli-Sense and PowerFins Detect adjust the brushroll for carpet, rugs and hard floors, so you should not need to change settings manually between rooms.
What comes in the box?
The box includes the vacuum pod, Duster Crevice Tool, Pet Multi-Tool, Precision Duster, an Odor Neutralizer cartridge and a 25-foot power cord.
Is it good for pet hair?
Yes. It is sold as a pet vacuum, with a Pet Multi-Tool and a brushroll designed for better hair pickup without hair wrap compared with Shark's standard bristles.
When is the best time to buy it?
Watch for holiday sales and back-to-school promotions, when Shark uprights typically drop. Check the price history before buying so you know whether the current price is near its low.
