SharkNinja, Inc. has launched the Shark PowerDetect Transformer, an upright vacuum that can convert into a lightweight stick vacuum and a handheld.
Consumers often rely on multiple cleaning tools — an upright for deep cleaning, a stick vacuum for maneuverability, and a handheld for above-floor and tight spaces, such as the car, the company said.
As a full-size upright vacuum, Transformer deep cleans carpets and hard floors with what SharkNinja desrcibes as powerful suction. With one click, it converts into a lightweight stick vacuum for everyday cleaning and glides under sofas and beds. With another click, it can become a handheld vacuum with a reach designed to make it easy to clean upstairs, upholstery, ceilings, corners and cars. The handheld clicks back into place and automatically empties debris into the main dust cup when finished.
“The upright vacuum has looked and worked the same way for decades,” said Petra Oman, vice president of marketing at SharkNinja. “We saw an opportunity to rethink the category by eliminating the bulky hose and creating a system that adapts to the way people actually clean. Transformer delivers the deep-cleaning performance consumers expect from an upright, with the flexibility and reach needed to clean everything from floors and carpets to stairs, furniture, ceilings and the car.”
Transformer features Shark’s PowerDetect and Reveal Technologies to uncover hidden dirt and automatically optimize cleaning performance in real time, the company said.
Additional features include:
- Auto-Empty System: The handheld clicks back into place and automatically empties debris into the main dust cup within a fully sealed system.
- HEPA Filtration + Advanced Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology: Designed to capture and trap 99.99% of dust and allergens.
- Odor Neutralizer Technology: Actively removes hair wrap during cleaning.
- DuoClean Detect Brushrolls: Designed to grip and capture dirt, debris and hair across carpets and hard floors without switching heads.
The Shark PowerDetect Transformer is available today on SharkNinja.com and TikTok Shop starting at $529. It will be available soon on Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, Costco and Sam’s Club.
