Vacuums aren't designed to be stored out of reach anymore. If you want to take full advantage of the most convenient modern feature — a self-emptying charging dock — your vacuum kind of has to be stored out in the open, not shoved in a closet. In a sea of gray and black cordless stick vacuums that scream "I'm made of plastic," the Shark Luxe Home Collection brings you one of Shark's top cordless stick vacuums in four chic earth tones that will actually match your home decor.I'm not sure how it took until 2026 for stick vacuums to get cute, but as a member of the cliché Green Velvet Couch Club, I needed the sage green Shark PowerDetect Speed vacuum in my space immediately. Here's how my first week with it has gone.

The Luxe Collection PowerDetect Speed comes in walnut, oatstone, sagewood, and harbor slate.

The Luxe models have a metallic sheen that doesn't look plasticky.

What's special about the Shark PowerDetect Speed?The Shark PowerDetect Speed is a sleeker, lighter version of the original Shark PowerDetect cordless vacuum that I had crowned the best stick vacuum for carpet and rugs since 2024. Weighing around seven pounds, the PowerDetect Speed weighs about a pound less than the original and has a more compact self-empty charging dock.
