'I use my Shark handheld vac daily - now it's 59% less with one-day deal stack'

Daily Mirror09-05-2025

I tested Shark's Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum that shoppers can snag for £32.49 for today only - but is it worth it investing in?
A year ago I tested Shark's handheld pet vacuum that promises 'effortless pet hair pick-up' and still use it every day - now shoppers can snap it up for less than half price in a clever deal stack.
When trying to clean up a mess quickly it's much easier to rely on a hand held vacuum rather than getting out a full-sized machine. We now use the Shark Handheld most days around the house - I've found it comes in really handy for quick jobs like picking up stray bits of debris around the cat litter box, and is much lighter than our corded vacuum for a quick spruce-up of the carpet on the stairs - ideal for a quick clean up, particularly if you're in a rush.
For one day only, TopCashback members can secure 25% cashback at Shark Clean. And those who are new to TopCashback can grab a free £15 new member bonus on all purchases over £15. As the Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum usually retails at £79.99 but is currently on offer for £59.99 this means that, until midnight tonight (Friday, May 9), new TopCashback members can effectively snap it up for £32.49 after cashback. Meanwhile, existing members aren't completely left out of the action, as they can also grab one for £47.49 after cashback.
The 25% cashback works site-wide which means shoppers can also use the deal on other products sold by the tech brand - including high spec fans and hair gadgets.
According to Shark's website, the Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum is designed for homes with pets, promising 'effortless pet hair pick-up throughout your home,' with the motorised pet tool to remove embedded hair from cushions, curtains, soft furnishings, car interiors and more.
Unboxing the vacuum last May, I was impressed by how lightweight and ergonomic it was. It has a sleek-looking design and the attachments fit to the unit comfortably without feeling as if you have to force them.
To truly put the Shark through its paces, I had a real challenge in mind - my husband's car boot. Admittedly, this had not been hoovered for a while, and is often used for shipping around our beloved greyhound, who has notoriously fine hair. It gets embedded into sort furnishings very easily, and can be stubborn to shift with any vacuum we've tried to date.
The pet attachment did struggle to pick up debris between the grooves in the base of the car boot. I made repeated passes over them without feeling it had made much of a difference, but it did pick up larger bits like the pine needles well. Where it really shone was on flat pieces of carpet along the edges, and the seat backing, which required fewer passes to lift out the pet hair.
But before I knew it, the battery was dead. This was after about 20 minutes or so working on the car boot with the pet attachment. According to Shark, the Handheld Pet Vacuum can run for 'up to 10 minutes of run-time per charge,' pitching it as being ideal for on-the-spot cleans. It claims the 'no-fade Lithium-ion technology ensures lasting power and performance.' In this respect, it outperformed the promises made by Shark, but a longer run time would be handy for longer jobs like this one.
Having said that, what Shark appears to have done with this handheld model is focus the battery's energy on suction power over runtime - which in my book is more useful for handheld models. I've had cheaper models in the past that run for 30, even 40 minutes, but with incredibly weak suction, to the point I've given up and lugged out our trusty, albeit hefty, Dyson to do the job properly. The Shark Classic Handheld Pet Vacuum is currently on offer for £59.99 from Shark, or £32.49 after cashback via today's deal. Elsewhere, this Tower Optimum Handheld with 79 five-star reviews is currently on offer for £39 on Amazon.
To claim the Top Cashback deal, follow these steps:
To claim the cashback offer, new members of TopCashback need to sign up via this link.
Search for Shark Clean and click 'Get Cashback Now'.
Shop and checkout as usual.
Cashback will then track and appear in your TopCashback account within 7 working days of your purchase. The cashback will become payable (and available to withdraw and spend) after Shark Clean has paid TopCashback the commission for your purchase.

Save more than £100 on a best-selling Shark vacuum in Amazon flash deal

The Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap has been reduced from £279.99 to £179.51 Amazon has cut the price of a top-selling Shark vacuum cleaner in a fresh deal. Shark's Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap has dropped from £279.99 to £179 for a limited time only – that works out as a saving of 36%. The Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner is currently leading the pack in Amazon's Stick Vacuums and Electric Brooms category, with more than 1,000 units shifted in the past month alone. Shark's own-brand website also rolled out an offer on the same device, where it was on sale for £249.99. However, the cleaner is currently out of stock on Shark's website and isn't available to buy right now. The vacuum cleaner is perfect for pet-friendly homes as it features Shark's signature Anti Hair Wrap Technology, engineered to separate and remove both long and short hair from the motorised brush-roll during cleaning, reports Devon Live. It has two floor modes for tackling carpet and hard floors, and is equipped with bright LED headlights in the floorhead to illuminate hidden dirt. It can operate for up to 40 minutes, with a battery light indicator showing how much charge remains, while its flexible wand allows for easier cleaning underneath furniture. The attachments include a crevice tool, a multi-surface tool and a pet tool. The cleaner has earned a stellar 4.5-star rating from more than 5,000 Amazon reviews – 91% of which are either awarded four or five stars. Shark's Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner matches Dyson's V11 Advanced in performance, which retails at a steeper £349.99 (usually £429.99), yet comes with a complimentary 'Floor Dok' valued at £100. Another option is Hoover's 4.4-star rated HF4 Cordless Vacuum, boasting anti-hair wrap technology and a pet tool, for £169, which was £249. But for Amazon shoppers, the Shark stick vacuum takes the cake for being 'easy to use' and having 'excellent suction'. Another customer said: "Very impressed. Most of my home is carpeted and previous cordless models have been pretty useless." They continued: "I find this to be very good suction, easy to manoeuvre and I like how it will automatically change to hard floors in kitchen and bathroom. It lasted 45 minutes on a full charge and not too heavy for me at 76 – can carry upstairs easily." Another commented: "Bought this to replace a Dyson cordless. My daughter has long hair and we were forever cutting this off the Dyson brush roller but so far we haven't had any hair stuck on the Shark roller. On hard floors it picks up the larger items that the Dyson wouldn't." The same customer pinpointed a drawback, adding: "The only slight negative compared to the Dyson is it doesn't quite clean as close to the edge as the Dyson, but I find the tools much easier to remove and fit." A final shopper concluded: "Easy to use with plenty of suction power to remove dog and cat hairs off carpets. An excellent vacuum. It is well balanced, has excellent suction and certainly picks up the dirt and dog hair well. "My first thought was that it seemed heavy, but it is well balanced and easy to use. It got dog hair out of my carpet, I didn't even realise was there. A really good vacuum."
