Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The world of vacuum cleaners is ever-growing, with a multitude of models up for grabs to suit almost every need, but this can make shopping for one a minefield.
Luckily, if you’re looking to upgrade your vacuum, Amazon has slashed the price of a number of its bestselling cleaners from top-rated brand Shark in its annual Prime Day sale.
While the American label is more affordable than some very high-end alternatives – we’re looking at you, Dyson – Shark models still come at a premium cost, so it pays to keep an eye out for deals.
To save you hours of scrolling, we’ve done all the hard work for you and managed to find some great savings on the brand’s most popular vacuums, including its upright and cordless styles.
Shark is also one of IndyBest’s favourite home appliance brands, with the company’s products landing spots in our reviews of the best pet, bagless, cordless and upright vacuum cleaners. So, we can vouch for their reliability and performance.

Shark upright vacuum cleaner NZ801UKT: Was £379.99, now £183.99, Amazon.co.uk
A leading brand when it comes to household appliances, this Shark upright cleaner currently has a whopping £196 off – and it’s one of our favourites. Featuring in our guide to the best pet vacuum cleaners, our reviewer praised it for being a “versatile machine with some nifty pet-related tricks up its sleeve”, such as a soft roller that works in conjunction with the anti-hair-wrap brush to catch longer hairs. This system, along with the lift-away feature, which allows the cylinder to disconnect from the body of the vacuum to give you more flexibility, worked well for our tester.
Plus, with a simple “flick of a switch”, you can select whether you’re cleaning “hard floor or carpet, with the brushes running faster to cope with the latter”. With such a rave review, this cleaner really is a no-brainer for pet owners. But you’ll have to act fast – we predict a sell-out.
Shark corded stick vacuum cleaner HZ500UK anti hair wrap, purple: Was £249.99, now £179, Amazon.co.uk
This corded stick vacuum cleaner is packed with innovative cleaning technologies and can glide between carpets and hard floors owing to its twin tech floorhead. It also combines Shark’s signature “duoclean” brush-roll design with anti-hair-wrap technology and has a flexible wand that bends so you don’t have to, making it easy to clean under furniture and fold down for compact, freestanding storage.
Shark cordless stick vacuum cleaner: Was £349.99, now £229, Amazon.co.uk
As the number one bestseller for Amazon in home and kitchen, this cordless design was also our best buy product in our guide to the best cordless vacuum cleaners for hassle-free hoovering.
“With a run-time of up to 120 minutes, this vacuum is perfect for anyone who has both carpets and wood flooring or simply forgets to charge their machine regularly. It gives the impression of a bigger model, with its large duoclean head, but it’s relatively light and the stick has a foldable function that allows you to tuck it into itself – making it great for storing,” our reviewer said.
We were also left impressed with its significant suction and the anti-hair wrap function, which removes hair from the brush-roll as you clean. The well-priced machine has £92 off in the sale and comes with smaller attachments to help you get into tighter corners with ease, so this is a bargain too good to miss.
Shark cordless handheld vacuum cleaner: Was £129.99, now £79.99, Amazon.co.uk
For getting to those hard-to-reach areas, catching every bit of dust on your stairs, or crumbs on a baby seat, handheld vacuum cleaners are a godsend when a bulkier corded design just can’t fit.
With a sleek charging case that gives you eight minutes of use on a full charge, this Shark vacuum cleaner comes with a crevice tool and a pet tool, with a one-touch empty dust cup to keep the filter free from build-up.
Lightweight with a two-year guarantee, take advantage of the £50 saving to make getting through your chores simple and speedy.
We also loved the Shark WV251UK (£129, Amazon.co.uk) in our best handheld vacuum cleaners guide for its stellar work on removing dirt and dust from carpeted floors.
