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: Allergy households and dust-touch haters who want weeks between bin interactions, and buyers who'd rather have the dock than the laser at the same money.

Best for: Patient tinkerers who deep-clean the machine after every use, understand wet-dry maintenance going in, and got it on a steep discount.
