Got Allergies? This One Type Of Vacuum Could Make A Big Difference
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. If you have carpets or rugs, sorry: They're even dirtier than you think. If you've been hiding in your home to escape seasonal allergens, sorry: Your indoor space poses its own problems, from dust mites and pet dander to mite and cockroach waste, especially if you have carpets, rugs or fabric decor. Vacuums with HEPA filtration, like Shark's 'worth every penny' upright vacuum, are more effective at trapping these allergenic micro-particles than your standard vacuum, and can filter some particles from smoke and pollution, too. 'Most particles that trigger allergy and asthma symptoms, like dust mites and mold spores, are airborne for a short time and then settle as dust,' explained Dr. James Sublett, an allergist and air quality specialist for the Allergy and Asthma Network. 'Homes with carpets are a reservoir of allergens; each time someone walks across or vacuums the carpet, particles fill the air.' While vacuuming won't completely remove all mites or dander from your environment, vacuums with HEPA filters 'help keep mites and mite waste from getting back into the air,' according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The best practice? Use your HEPA vacuum at least once weekly, and run a HEPA air purifier at the same time (like this popular Levoit option). 'Using a HEPA vacuum will trap some particles, leaving others that are stirred up into the breathing space to be removed by room or whole house air filtration,' wrote Sublett. (For extra protection, wear a mask while you clean.) Amazon Designed with a sealed HEPA filter to trap allergens and dust within the machine, Shark's upright vacuum purportedly captures 99.9% of allergens and dust with a staggering 1,416 watts of suction power. Folks love this thing so much, they're literally buying spares. 'For allergy sufferers this is 5-star stuff,' wrote one reviewer. The vacuum is equipped with a large-capacity dust cup for longer cleaning sessions, multiple attachments, including pet hair and crevice tools, and a detachable pod for tackling spots high up. While the Shark Navigator is beloved by reviewers, who've given the piece an impressive 80,000 5-star ratings, if you prefer a cordless option, this Dyson V15 vacuum is pricier but equipped with a HEPA filter and up to 60 minutes of run time. Check out more reviews of the Shark HEPA Navigator Lift Away Vacuum below: 'Wow, for this money, a total home run. HEPA, detachable handle and portable PLUS IT CLEANS.... love the adjustable suction control, floor to carpet height adjustment is easy access ..... My wife is a 'cleaner', first time she used it was off the charts happy. And for me, no nasty smelling air coming out of of the filter. Highly recommended.' — K. Wilson 'Absolutely a great vacuum. Only had a month, but after seeing reviews online it truly is amazing. Easy to assemble. Have two boxers who shed a lot. Suction and pickup is absolutely unbelievable. With HEPA filtration, no stinky vacuum smell. No more changing carpet to bare floor adjustments as on cheaper models. Easy to empty. Excellent feature for people who have stairs-canister easily removed and suction power is wonderful from hose. Noise is low. Easy to maneuver the unit across floor-not traditional wheels. Watch video comparison of models and you won't hesitate.' — Tom H 'I did a test with this unit out of the box. I vacuumed with my older canister vacuum with a HEPA filter, then I repeated with my Shark. It picked up small dirt and tons of dust. I was amazed, embarrassed and relieved to have a new unit that actually cleaned as I vacuumed. If you are questioning your older vacuum, give this a try and find out for yourself. I got this on sale and recommend to anyone who wants superior performance at a bargain price.' — Robert Wojnowski 'Absolutely love this. I've been using a cheapy stick vacuum for a year. No pets, just me, my husband, and our toddler. We have three carpeted bedrooms upstairs and one rug in the downstairs. I did a VERY quick once over all of the carpeted areas with this thing and this picture is the amount of dirt I got. Absolutely in shock. Prior to this, I was vacuuming at least 3 times a week with our stick handle crap vacuum and I try to keep the house very clean at all times (minimal amount of dust, grime, etc. we all have killer allergies). Heck, we use the highest quality HEPA filters for our HVAC AND have a large capacity air purifier. Still, the difference a good vacuum can make clearly can't be beat. This thing is no joke for suction, very powerful but still pretty easy to carry and maneuver considering it's size. Easy to click together after unboxing. Canister emptying seems easy enough, and I like that the lifespan of the filters is literally year s.' — Olivia Dunn

SharkNinja CEO says Trump's tariffs won't mean its air fryers and ice cream makers will be made in the USA. It'll shuffle the supply chain to dodge those fees instead
SharkNinja CEO Mark Barrocas said the vacuum cleaner and blender manufacturing company has moved production away from China in response to President Donald Trump's tariffs, but it likely won't develop an American supply chain. Trump has implemented a 10% levy on China and will likely announce reciprocal tariffs Thursday. Early reactions to President Donald Trump's tariffs indicate they may not have the intended impact of invigorating U.S. manufacturing. SharkNinja CEO Mark Barrocas believes that at least for his company, it's not possible to conveniently develop a U.S.-based supply chain, even as the maker of Ninja Creami and Shark Navigator vacuum hastens its shift away from production in China. 'Our industry doesn't exist in the U.S.,' Barrocas told Bloomberg News on Thursday. 'The product is not made here. The components are not made here. This is not like the car industry that you could say, 'Well, let's flex it back to the United States.' That is not something that we believe is on the horizon.' Trump has already implemented a 10% tariff on China and ordered an additional 25% tax on steel and aluminum imports, but has delayed steep levies on Mexico and Canada. On the campaign trail last year, Trump argued tariffs would be a means to incentivize American manufacturing. He also suggested in his Feb. 1 executive order that China has not done enough to stymie the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. The White House did not respond to Fortune's requests for comment. SharkNinja reported earnings to investors on Thursday that exceeded Wall Street expectations, posting $1.8 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, a 29.7% year-over-year increase. Even when considering the impact of Chinese tariffs, the company expects sales to grow as much as 12% in 2025. SharkNinja has been tapering off its reliance on China since Trump's 2018 trade war during his first term, Barrocas said. Its goal is to source nearly all of its materials for U.S. products from countries outside China by the end of the year. SharkNinja plans to have 90% of production for goods sold in America made elsewhere by the second quarter of 2025. The company has since been sourcing much of its materials from Vietnam and Thailand and stockpiling other key items. "We don't believe the U.S. right now is a viable supply location,' he said. Barrocas said there could be some instances in which SharkNinja would be able to develop a supply chain in the U.S., such as for coolers, which require fewer parts and assembly steps than most of their appliance counterparts. "While the manufacturing infrastructure for many of the products we produce is not currently available in the U.S., we are looking for ways to manufacture in the U.S. and continue to evaluate what is possible," SharkNinja told Fortune in a statement. The company may not be immune to tariffs, even with its contingencies. Trump said he will announce reciprocal tariffs Thursday, which would theoretically result in taxes on imported goods equivalent to the taxes those countries have implemented for U.S. exports. Southeast Asian countries in particular have benefitted from the 'reshoring' of supply chains from China because of past tariffs, and could become a target for a next wave of taxes. Executives have largely had a negative reaction to Trump's tariffs, fearing disruptions in supply chains and increases in production costs that will be passed down to consumers. From September to November last year, about 200 companies in the S&P 500 mentioned tariffs in earnings calls or investor conferences. Like SharkNinja, Lowe's and e.l.f. have already begun strategizing on how to mitigate the impact of tariffs, including moving production away from China. Though some companies have already taken steps to mitigate the impact of tariffs on its production, the pace at which Trump is implementing these taxes give American companies little time to make necessary changes, Barrocas argued. 'The current administration seems like they are very willing to make a tariff decision and start the tariff decision that day,' he said.

I'm a deal hunter — today's best sales include The North Face, Shark and Keurig
We independently evaluate the products we review. When you buy via links on our site, we may receive compensation. Read more about how we vet products and deals. As a shopping editor, I rarely pay full price for anything. I can sniff out the best discounts, knowing when to click "add to cart" or when I should wait for a steeper price drop. Alas, I'm here to share my wisdom — I've rounded up the 10 best sales from across the web today on top brands like The North Face, Shark, Keurig and more. Ready to warm up with a new parka by The North Face? Grab one while it's over $100 off at REI. If your floors need a deep clean, the Shark Navigator is nearly 40% off at Walmart right now. And if you want to make yourself a quick cup of joe, the Keurig K-Express is down to just $35. You can also stock up on leggings — get a three-pack of plain black slimming ones for just 23 bucks at Amazon. Keep scrolling for these deals plus a few of the best retailer sales if you also want to spend some time perusing more deals yourself. (Psst! Make sure you check out the Banana Republic sale section for high-quality knits, and Cozy Earth's Valentine's Day sale for the softest bedding.) If you're in the market for a new parka, act fast! REI just marked down this North Face parka by 30% — that's $100 off! The parka is long enough to cover your bum and hits just above the knees or about mid-thigh. Recycled waterfowl down feathers make it fluffy and its exterior fabric is water-repellent, so you'll stay warm and dry. One shopper said: "I highly recommend this parka. I have a hard time finding appropriate times to wear the coat because it is SO amazingly warm. Snow or wind does not get through this coat. The length is great if you are taller, too. As a 6-foot female, I have found some long female parkas are too short — not this one!" Keeping your coffee or tea hot can be difficult while you're dashing around the house on a busy morning. That's where this bestseller comes in. You can set the temperature and keep it there for hours, on or off the charging coaster. "I use it every day! The temperature is always perfect," said a five-star reviewer. "It looks like a normal mug but oh boy! It is no normal mug! It's beautiful. So easy to use. I just wish the battery lasted longer. Even that doesn't make me take a star away. I absolutely love how well it works." Watch out, dirt! This top-seller with over 2,100 five-star fans is a powerhouse that swivels and swerves like an athlete, sucking up dirt, hair and dust (shout-out to the hardworking HEPA filter). Use the handheld nozzle to attack upholstery, stairs and curtains. "I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner," said a Walmart shopper. "It does everything you would want a vacuum cleaner to do it. Swivels, it gets in small spots. It's lightweight, it picks up very well, it doesn't have a bag and it breaks down to a smaller vacuum, so you can clean your car or other things." Wake up! Keurig's K-Express, the brand's small and sleek single-serve brewer, is on sale at Walmart. (The deepest discount is on the red!) You can use it to brew 6-ounce, 8-ounce and 10-ounce cups fast. It's perfect for people who live alone, are the sole coffee drinkers in the house or are tight on space. "I love this Keurig," said one reviewer. "I've wasted so much coffee before getting this. Since I've always used a coffee pot, I had a lot of ground coffee. Purchased the pod converter to use, and problem solved! Definitely would recommend it if you just want to make a single cup at a time." Winter isn't going anywhere anytime soon! If you're looking for warm pieces to cozy up in, grab this flannel shacket (shirt/jacket) on sale at Amazon. It comes in a range of plaid prints and looks great over leggings or with jeans. "I'm a huge flannel girl and this one did not disappoint," wrote a five-star fan. "I love the look and fabric of this flannel and can't wait to wear it in the fall. It's not as thick as some of my other flannels, but it will still keep you warm because the material is still on the thicker side." Ready to transform your shower into a spa-like experience? Made of chrome and stainless steel this lightweight, easy-to-install (no tools needed!) shower head has a reinforced stainless steel hose for super-flexible reach and mobility. More than 60,000 shoppers rave about it. "Shockingly good for the price," wrote a five-star fan. "It looks good, works flawlessly, and doesn't leak. Having a proper showerhead makes the apartment MUCH more livable. It was a high-impact upgrade at a very low cost. Besides making showers more comfortable, having a movable showerhead makes cleaning the shower immeasurably easier. I'd consider it a must-have." It's cold and flu season, so you better be washing your hands! Keep clean with a three-pack of Mrs. Meyer's good-smelling soap. The brand's soaps are scented with essential oils and contain aloe vera and olive oil to hydrate as they wash. Amazon shoppers especially love the Mint scent. "The mint soap is a very pleasant 'neutral' scent. I use this in guest bathrooms and kitchen," said one reviewer. "The mint smells like it came out of the garden, not like mint gum. It almost has a mint/cucumber smell." Want to "shrink" your pores? These top-selling pads use a revitalizing combo of ingredients including lactic acid and salicylic acid to keep your skin looking bright and your pores clear. And they're over 50% off — talk about a fresh deal. "Magic in a tub," proclaimed one devotee. "I have combination skin, and very noticeable pores on my nose. Although the pores on my nose have not completely gone away (which I wasn't expecting), they have minimized, and my skin overall looks more radiant and smooth. I love that these pads are so moisturizing. I normally have reactions and burning to acids, but this is gentle and leaves my skin feeling plump and moisturized." You can never have too many comfy leggings, right? Grab a three-pack while they're under $8 each. You can choose all black, or snag one of the multi-color options that are on sale. Plus, they're thick enough to provide a little tummy control, they're not see-through and they have pockets. Amazon shoppers rave about them! "Buttery soft," said one of the 3,700 five-star reviewers. "These leggings are of good quality, they are not thin or see-through like the cheap ones from other companies you find on here. They are so soft. The pockets are deep enough to put my phone in all the way and I love the high waist. The top does not roll down. They stay up. I love these leggings." Formulated to hydrate skin and reduce wrinkles over time, this eye cream aims to deliver visibly firmer, brighter skin. It boasts an impressive assortment of active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, retinol and vitamin C. It has a well-designed applicator — cooling and angled — so you can enjoy its soothing benefits without pulling or tugging on delicate under-eye skin. Actress Eva Longoria says she loves it because it's so refreshing and fills in fine lines. She told Pop Sugar, "It feels so delicious." Amazon shoppers love it too. "I use the product around my eyes every morning," said one happy customer. "No odor that I notice. Works great diminishing the bags and dark circles. Best of all the tube lasts me months when used as suggested. Feels great if kept cold in the fridge." Is it a cardigan or is it a coat? It's both! Score this versatile piece for chilly winter and early spring days while it's on sale in a range of colors. Although, this khaki color goes great with jeans and leggings, and can make any outfit look a bit more elevated. "Very nice fabric — nice feel and weight to fabric," said one shopper. "Very soft, steps up the look of any outfit. I'm 5'3" and it hits right at knee. Looks so professional for work or completes a look with jeans. I will be buying more colors."
