Q: What is the difference between the ip3252 and the ip3251?
submitted by Annie - 4 months ago
A: If they are the same then why is my base missing the place to put a order cartridge? It's just a plastic indent?
submitted byJ Clark - 29 days agoA: I don't think they are the same. I have ip3252 and do not have the odor neutralizer puck.
submitted byThefarside79 - 25 days agoA: IP3251 has edge detect and odor puck. IP3252 seems to have no edgedetect sensors so it won't detect edges and no odor puck slot at all. Everything else seems to be the same.
submitted byabc_consumer - 16 days agoA: IP3252 and IP3251 are the same PowerDetect Clean and Empty cordless vacuum and dock. The difference is the color. Both models includes an 8 inch duster crevice tool, a pet multi tool, and an Odor Neutralizer Puck. Core specs are the same including up to 70 minutes runtime, DuoClean Detect nozzle and HEPA filtration.

Q: Is this the “duo” roller bar? Not the mono bar? also what’s the difference between this version is the version Costco has?
submitted by tkz722 - 22 days ago
A: This is the DuoFin model, and there’s no functional difference between this version and the Costco version. The only variation is the color, which differs based on the retailer. Both units are identical in performance and features.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 18 days agoBrand expertA: The costco ver is a single PowerFins roller with single color led front light and lcd display on head with edge detection. Only costco has the lcd This target version is dual roller, no edge detect.
submitted byabc_consumer - 16 days ago
Q: Does this model come with a Odor Neutralizer Puck?
submitted by NOB - 26 days ago

submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 24 days agoBrand expert
Q: Does this model have the edge & corner detect to pick up dust along the edge of the wall on both carpet and non-carpet floors?
submitted by MS - 4 months ago
A: Yes, this vacuum model features edge-detect cleaning on carpet and non-carpet floors. It'll boost its power suction and roller speed helping the vacuum detect and clean those areas more thoroughly.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 4 months agoBrand expertA: No it does not. The edge detect sensors seem to be gone in this model and so it doesn't have the edge detect feature.
submitted byabc_consumer - 16 days ago
Q: Is this model IP325 also effectie on xarpettiing

Q: This has a pet multi tool, but how does it hold up against dog fur? Do you need to clean the head after vacuuming dog fur?
submitted by CrownKing82 - 8 days ago
A: The Shark IP3252 comes with a Pet Multi-Tool, which is designed to handle pet hair effectively on upholstery, stairs, and other surfaces. It uses stiff bristles for stuck-on debris and converts to an upholstery tool for removing stubborn pet hair.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 8 days agoBrand expert
Q: Can I manually adjust the suction and speed for a high pile area rug that requires more delicate vacuuming? Thanks!
submitted by SP - 19 days ago
A: Yes, you can adjust suction indirectly by switching to Eco Mode using the trigger under the handheld. This reduces suction for gentler cleaning while still maintaining strong performance.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 18 days agoBrand expert
Q: Does this model come with the odor neutralizer puck? Mine did not and where it would normally go is a hard piece of plastic that cannot be moved.
submitted by Thefarside79 - 25 days ago
A: The Shark IP3252 does not include an odor neutralizer puck. That slot is replaced by a fixed plastic piece on this model, so the puck cannot be added. This design is intentional and differs from other Shark models that support the puck feature.
submitted bySharkNinja Product Expert - 25 days agoBrand expert
Q: Is this a IP1000 or IP3000?
submitted by Where are the chips - 25 days ago
A: The Shark Power Detect IP3252 is part of the IP3000 series, not the IP1000 series.

Excellant suction
This is our second Shark. Had to by this one due to the fact that the extension wand broke on the 1st one. Since the original wand is no longer available, we bought a second one because we like the product ver well.

Battery only 20 minute runtime
Lucky if it runs 20 minutes. I’ve been on the waiting list all year for another battery. I’m really disappointed in the runtime. I can only do a couple of rooms of hard floors, carpet runs the battery down even faster so I have to pick and choose what to vacuum. I wish shark would make this tight for me

79 years old - best vac ever so far.
Had for a couple of weeks. Great vacuum. We love the soft roller with the brush behind it. Our old cordless vac was fine, but only had spinning brush. To test how effective it was for dust, I sprinkled a bit of baby powder onto the vinyl plank flooring. Bet my wife it wouldn't pick it all up. I won. Had to go over it three or four times. You can prove the same thing yourself with a broom versus a dust cloth. Same principle. I'll order a second roller to put in while the first one dries when I decide it needs to be washed. Also love the self emptying feature. Saves a lot of time.

It broke
I bought my shark BU 3521 about 2 1/2 - 3 months ago and it was the best! I loved it, I never had a stick vacuum before. The handle with the battery broke off so it’s unusable now and I don’t have the box or receipt so I can’t get a refund. I think the handle with the battery attached to it without any reinforcement is too much strain.

Low battery life between Vacumming.
The battery does not last long on this product. You probably get 20 mins of vacuum time between charges. Which is not a lot. Especially since it doesn’t charge back up until the battery is completely dead I noticed.
1 reply from SharkNinja team - 18 days ago
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We hear your concern, and we want to make this right. Runtimes are based on a new, fully charged battery. Like all lithium-ion products, the battery will naturally decrease in capacity over time. In ECO mode, the battery can achieve up to 70 minutes of runtime. Based on the runtime you’ve described, it sounds like there’s a chance the vacuum may not be working as it should. Could you please give our team a call at 1-855-427-5127? We’d love to help ensure you’re getting the most from your product. Our team is available: 📞 Monday–Friday: 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. ET 📞 Saturday: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET Kind regards, Shark Clean

Poor idea for no manual
I can't get it to self empty. When I contacted Shark they wanted a credit card to provide information. What a crock

Don’t bother, it’s a complete waste of money.
This is the worst vacuum I have used in my lifetime. If you have a pet that sheds, it is absolutely not for you. I have had this vacuum for 3 months and the main attachment is not working at all. Pet hair clumps under the intake rendering it completely ineffective. Shark used to be a great value, now it is just a cheap piece of junk.

unbelievable product
I have given this unit 30 days....I hate that I wasted so much money on my two Dyson stick vacuums, first time I ever bought anything on sale that I would have gladly given full price for, battery last way longer than I do, sensing system is so cool, it does what it need on its own to get the job done, first vacuum i have ever owned that will keep up with my three Aussies

Great product - comparable to Dyson
This is a great lightweight product! The suction on carpet is fantastic and the light on the unit makes cleaning hard surface flooring much easier. Great included tools too.
