Airbot Hypersonics PRO Detect Review: 27,000Pa Suction for Under $200

Why We’re Reviewing This

Airbot has quietly become one of Singapore’s most popular vacuum brands on Shopee, and the Hypersonics PRO Detect is their flagship cordless stick vacuum. With 30k+ units sold and a 4.8-star rating, it’s clearly resonating with Singapore households. We wanted to understand if the hype is justified — especially at a price point that undercuts Dyson by over 70%.

Suction Power

The headline 27,000Pa suction puts the Airbot PRO Detect in the same territory as mid-range Dyson models. In our testing, it picked up rice grains from tile, fine dust from laminate, and pet hair from fabric upholstery without struggle.

The Auto Detect feature is the standout: a sensor in the cleaning head detects the surface type and adjusts suction accordingly. Move from hard floor to carpet, and the motor ramps up automatically. Move back, and it scales down to conserve battery. This is a feature typically found on vacuums costing $500+.

Design and Ergonomics

At 1.5kg, the PRO Detect is remarkably light. Extended overhead cleaning (fans, air-con vents, curtain rails) doesn’t cause arm fatigue. The digital display on the handle shows real-time information: battery percentage, current suction mode, and filter health.

The swivel head provides good manoeuvrability around furniture legs and tight corners. The LED lights on the cleaning head illuminate dust and debris under furniture — a nice touch borrowed from premium brands.

Battery and Charging

This is where you need realistic expectations. The 45-minute battery life on standard mode is adequate for a 3-4 room HDB flat, but you’ll need to plan your cleaning route if you’re doing an entire 5-room unit. On maximum suction, runtime drops to approximately 15-20 minutes.

The wall-mounted charging dock is functional and keeps the vacuum accessible. Full recharge takes about 3.5 hours.

The Verdict

The Airbot Hypersonics PRO Detect delivers performance that genuinely punches above its weight. The 27,000Pa suction, auto surface detection, and lightweight design make it an excellent daily-driver vacuum for Singapore homes.

It won’t match a Dyson V15 in build quality or battery life, but at $160 compared to $900+, it doesn’t need to. For the vast majority of cleaning tasks in a typical Singapore home, this gets the job done admirably. The 30k+ sales figure and 4.8-star rating on Shopee make the case convincingly.
