P1
Product 1: Shark Detect Pro Cordless Stick...
3.3
Measured runtimes commonly land around 40 minutes on low/Eco (varies by region) and can be closer to ~20 minutes in Detect-style auto modes. Boost/Turbo runtime is short (often around 10–15 minutes), so it is best used in bursts for problem areas rather than full-house cleans.
P2
Product 2: Eureka Stylus Elite Cordless Stick...
4.4
Reported low/medium runtimes are commonly cited around ~60 minutes (low) and ~40 minutes (medium), with at least one review mentioning up to ~70 minutes on low; many users say that’s enough for whole-home cleaning. High/turbo runtime is commonly cited around ~15 minutes, which reviewers frame as suitable for quick, intense cleanups rather than full-home sessions.

Under-Furniture Pickup
P1
Product 1: Shark Detect Pro Cordless Stick...
4.0
Under-furniture reach is decent because the head can get low and the unit is light; however, the grip/wand geometry and lack of a bending wand can limit the flattest reach versus rivals.
P2
Product 2: Eureka Stylus Elite Cordless Stick...
4.7
Under-furniture reach is repeatedly praised: reviewers show it fitting under low cabinets and lying very flat to reach deep under beds and furniture, helped by the flexible head/neck design.
Upholstery / Above-Floor Pickup
