Shark PowerDetect Clean & Empty Cordless Vacuum (IP3253)
The auto-empty dock is a real quality-of-life upgrade Dyson refuses to build, wrapped around a good-not-flagship vacuum whose software occasionally reminds you it's trying hard.

Best for: Dyson-committed hard-floor households who want one branded machine for dry and wet, understand roller-drying discipline, and catch it discounted.
