Gone are the days of tangled cords and cumbersome handles; robot vacuums are the new frontier when it comes to keeping our homes tidy. As evidenced in a recent clip posted to Instagram, Courteney Cox is on board with the trend. The Friends star has partnered with Shark to promote their new PowerDetect vacuum.
Better yet, it might just be one of the best vacuums of 2024. According to the video, the 2-in-1 mop/vacuum is 'built to satisfy a clean freak.' In other words, it's not just clean – it's Monica clean. A level up from its predecessor, the Shark Matrix 2-in-1, the PowerDetect Vacuum is essentially self-sufficient, from the cleaning process to docking. Its NeverTouch design ensures that we, well, never have to touch the item. After each round of cleaning, the vacuum can return to its base and empty debris, refill the water tank, and clean the mopping pad to ensure it is ready for its next use.
It's a natural collaboration for Cox, whose Friends character, Monica Geller, was quite the cleaning fanatic. 'I am often linked with cleanliness based on some of the characters I’ve played, but my dedication to tidiness extends way beyond those roles, and Shark’s new PowerDetect line is an amazing new product for people who love to have a clean home,' Cox states of the robot vacuum in a press release. 'The new Shark PowerDetect line of vacuums have quicky become two of my must-have products.'
When it comes to Shark and Cox, cleanliness is of utmost importance and choosing a vacuum cleaner is a huge part of that. 'With the launch of Shark’s new PowerDetect Robot and Cordless vacuums, we knew we needed to partner with someone that had the same standard and commitment to cleanliness, and who better than Homecourt Creator and Founder, Courteney Cox,' continues SharkNinja CMO, Adam Petrick. 'We’re looking forward to highlighting the incredibly innovative PowerDetect line and its various uses with Courteney in the coming months.'
A vacuum and mop all in one, this product is a must for cleaning and tech enthusiasts who want their home to shine like Monica's
In terms of appearance, the PowerDetect looks quite similar to the Shark AI Ultra, which Homes & Gardens' contributing reviews editor Camryn Rabideau praised for its design, saying that it's 'one of the best robot vacuums you can buy today.' In her Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Vacuum and Mop review she explains, 'While other self-emptying vacuums capture dust and debris in a vacuum bag, the Shark actually has a bagless design, saving you from having to buy replacement bags,' she explains in her review.
The PowerDetect measures at 18.8 in L x 14.33 in W, and like other iterations, comes in a sleek, black finish. Since emptying the debris from a vacuum is not the most pleasant of tasks, this one does it automatically every 60 days. Additionally, it is one of the best robot vacuums for pet hair, capturing up to 99.97% of dust, while Odor Neutralizer Technology keeps homes smelling fresh.
As far as upkeep goes, we recommend stocking up on some cleaner refill, which is available to purchase below for $11.99.
We love how this cleaner has a fresh scent and leaves no streaks.
Though a single vacuum can't completely transform your cleaning routine, the Shark PowerDetect is the closest thing. It vacuums, it mops, and it even cleans yourself. If you want to be like Monica and Courteney, this is the perfect start.
