Households save £100 on 'tremendous' Shark vacuum dubbed the 'best ever'
'So much more powerful than an ordinary vacuum and had no issue with pet hair' While cleaning is a chore than many of us begrudgingly undertake, it is a task that can be made easier when using the right equipment. For those who want their floors to look brand new after they have cleaned, it is important to have a powerful vacuum cleaner on hand. Thankfully, Amazon currently has some quality limited time deals on their popular cleaning products that will save savvy shoppers a reasonable amount of money on their must-have purchase. In fact, one popular vacuum cleaner has been given a £100 price slash. Normally retailing for £299.99, Amazon shoppers can now snap up the Shark Stratos Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner in a stunning rose gold colour for only £199. Advertised as Shark's 'best ever hair pick up' vacuum cleaner, this corded device features its anti hair wrap plus technology. Perfect for all types of hair, whether it be long, short or pet hair, this hoover can remove any picked up hair from the brush-roll while it cleans, therefore providing a smooth, tangle-free experience. Along with a DuoClean floorhead that can seamlessly glide between carpets and hardfloor, the vacuum cleaner also features LED headlights to easily find any stray dust or hairs. Additionally, households will keep smelling fresh as the device comes with anti-odour and anti-allergen technology to capture and seal dust odour. Most importantly, if shoppers are slightly put off by the fact that this is a corded vacuum, it also comes with an easy to use lift away feature to turn it into a portable device. This will make it easier for shoppers to tackle stairs and hard to reach places such as under furniture or on the ceiling. Shark Stratos Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner £299.99 £199 Amazon Buy Now Product Description Alternatively, for those looking for something a bit cheaper and cordless, Amazon has also dropped the price of the Avalsor Cordless Vacuum Cleaner. Normally retailing for £189.99, shoppers can snap up this cleaning appliance for £95.45. With a battery of up to 65 minutes on minimum suction, this hoover also comes with an anti-tangle brush. Argos has also reduced the price of some popular hoovers, as the Vax Air Stretch Max Pet Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner is currently down to £90 (RRP £120). Along with a pet tool, this vacuum comes with a mattress nozzle, crevice nozzle, upholstery nozzle, dusting brush and a turbo brush. Back to the Shark Corded Vacuum, it is currently one of Amazon's top choices and boasts a 4.5 star rating from happy shoppers. Many reviewers were impressed by how powerful the vacuum is, with a few saying it is the 'best ever' cleaner they have used. One delighted shopper said: "I've always had Dyson Animal vacs for dog hair. Problem was, long hair wrapped around roller which always had to be cut off. This SHARK is a game changer!! I have long hair as well as a dog. This vac cuts the hair as it vacs so it doesn't wrap around the roller AT ALL! It's brilliant!" With another adding: "Easily the best vacuum I've ever used. Tremendous suction, moves smoothly, not noisy and no entanglements around the brushes. The facility to remove the power unit to use had held on the stairs is a big plus. Easily beats my old Dyson. It's true what some of the professional and customer reviews say, "Bye-bye Dyson!" However, not everyone was completely impressed, as one person noted: "Every other vacuum I've owned has the cable on the left side, however this is on the right. This means needing to vacuum with my left hand, or get a bit cross wired if use my right hand. I'd be interested to know why they've done this!" Another shopper also grumbled: "A bit heavy and cumbersome compared to the cordless Dyson we had before." Despite this, a five-star reviewer said: "Oh my goodness, what have we been hoovering our floors with all our lives? Easily set up, we trucked this Shark round the apartment, and it's made it look like we've never hoovered before! May take a tiny bit of practice to navigate it more efficiently, but this has got to be the best vacuum cleaner we've ever had." While a sixth shopper commented: "Absolutely impressed! So much more powerful than an ordinary vacuum and had no issue with pet hair (2 dogs, 2 cats). Did feel like a workout to push as the suction is so strong but worth it for the effectiveness." The Shark Stratos Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner is currently on a limited time deal on Amazon. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Shark offers a five-year guarantee on the appliance so if anything malfunctions, they will substitute it at no cost - provided they register it with Shark, reports the Mirror. And for those seeking alternatives, Amazon's Avalsor Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has been slashed from £189.99 to £95.45, though it may not deliver the same suction strength as the Shark Stratos. Meanwhile, the Hoover HF4 Hydro Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap for £219 offers both hoovering and mopping functions in one gadget, courtesy of its interchangeable brush and mop attachments. The Shark vacuum cleaner boasts a 4.6-star rating out of five on Amazon. One satisfied customer shared: "Very happy with the product. I had never used a fancy vacuum cleaner like this one, having only used classical ones in the past (e.g., Henry or similar). "I had to find a vacuum cleaner that would fit behind the door in my room due to space constraints. Being detachable, I'm storing the base part separately and the upright part behind the door, so the door can open properly. "This way, I have it easily accessible as well. Just grab the two pieces, put them together in one click, and vacuum. In a maximum of 5 minutes, I'm done cleaning the carpet in my room.

I never knew how practical these vacuum cleaners are. "I don't have pets, but the pet attachment is very useful, having a smaller rotating brush to fit tight spaces or stairs. Although the vacuum cleaner itself is not too noisy, the pet attachment is, due to the whistle effect, but it is not a major issue. All the same other attachments are good and practical." Some customers have expressed concerns about the size of the dust bag. One customer shared: "I really like the shark, it has no problem picking up the dog hair, and there's lots as I have three large dogs. It's versatile, and I love how you can take the container off the bottom bit to do the stairs easily. Article continues below "The little pet hair tool makes doing the stairs a doddle as it easily picks up dog hair. Neither rotation tool seems to get clogged up with dog hair either. But I have a couple of gripes, the container which holds the dust/dog hair is not big enough, so I'm emptying it very frequently."

Amazon's Shark Stratos Prime Day deal is the cheapest ever with £170 off Amazon shoppers can save 43% on the Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro, which has dropped to a record low price Amazon's Prime Day sale comes to an end on July 11 Amazon's Prime Day sale is in full swing and we've spotted hefty significant discount of more than £170 on the Shark Stratos vacuum cleaner. The Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro has been slashed from £399.99 to £228.99 – a £171 saving. This beats Shark's own pricing of £349.99 and is the lowest ever recorded for this model, according to price tracking website camelcamelcamel. Other notable bargains in the Prime Day sale include the Shark Clean and Empty Cordless Vacuum Cleaner (£199.99) and the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (£249.99). The Shark Stratos is said to deliver the brand's 'best ever hair pick-up' and is designed to clean both carpeted and hard floors. It also incorporates Shark's signature anti hair wrap plus technology that eliminates long and short hair from the brush-roll during the cleaning process. READ MORE: The seven best beauty deals you can get in Amazon Prime day deal chosen by an expert READ MORE: IBS sufferers claim to have 'banished discomfort' with 'game changing' supplement This model comes equipped with a motorised pet tool designed to extract embedded hair from upholstery, making it an ideal choice for pet owners. The Stratos also features LED headlights in the brush head and Shark's Clean Sense IQ technology, which automatically modulates suction power upon detecting concealed dirt. According to Shark, this results in up to 50% more dirt pick-up compared to Eco mode. The vacuum boasts a 60-minute run time and a 'Flexology' wand, enabling it to reach under low furniture and fold down for convenient storage, plus the ability to convert to a handheld vacuum, reports the Express. Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro £399.99 £228.99 Amazon Get the deal here Product Description Amazon has slashed £171 off the Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro as part of the Prime Day sale. The package deal for the vacuum cleaner on Amazon includes a variety of handy accessories such as a crevice tool, an anti-allergen brush, and a multi-surface tool. It comes as Dyson is hosting its own summer sale, slashing prices on models like the Dyson V11 Extra, which is praised for being 'powerful, intelligent and versatile' and has seen a price drop from £499.99 to £399.99. Bargain hunters looking for a more wallet-friendly option can take advantage of a £94 discount on the Hoover HF4 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap by using the promo code SUMMER35, bringing the cost down to £135. For those sticking with Amazon, the Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner Pet Pro has won over customers and racked up a 4.4-star rating after more than 3,000 reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Fantastic for dog hair. Searched for ages for a vacuum that could cope with hair from our golden retriever. Have tried Vax, Dyson, G-Tech, but this Shark is brilliant. All the hair goes up the pipe and into the dustbin, whereas it chokes the bottom of the tube with the Vax and Dyson. Also the anti-wrap hair roller is such a relief." 'This is lightweight, easy to use and offers great value for money'. (Image: Amazon ) Another said: "Great and easy to use. We bought this to replace our old corded vacuum, which worked well but was quite heavy. This is lightweight, easy to use and offers great value for money compared to other well-known brands." Article continues below However, the same buyer noted a potential drawback: "The only downside with cordless models is the battery life, as it tends to decrease over time. Overall, I'd recommend it." While another glowing five-star review said: "I don't think we will ever go back to Dyson, the Shark is excellent. I like that the battery comes off and we can charge it on the kitchen counter. It's nice and light, the suction is excellent and the quality is great. Me and my daughter have long hair and this always affects the brush longevity. The Shark does exactly what it says. The brush is always clear and empty of hair."
