One of the top-rated Shark vacuums just got a huge 50% discount for Black Friday

Buying a new vacuum cleaner is an essential purchase once in a while, but it never feels quite as exciting as you’d like it to be. That’s where saving big on one of the best vacuum cleaners around really helps. Today, you can buy the Shark Stratos Cordless Vacuum at Currys for £199 (was £399.99), which is a very nice discount of just over 50% off.

Such a price cut keeps your bank account happy, but also means you gain one of the best cordless vacuum cleaners around. It’s particularly adept at handling pet hair with powerful suction, offers an excellent hair-detangling brush roll, and a set of genuinely useful attachments. I have a Shark vacuum cleaner – having previously used some of the best Dyson vacuum cleaners – and I love how much easier it makes my life.

Our Shark Stratos Cordless vacuum cleaner review gave it a very respectable 4.5 stars calling it “a flexible cordless vacuum that packs plenty of power”.

“Designed to tackle the common obstacles to cleaning your home,” it has “powerful suction” and is “great on carpets [and] hard floors”. Its flexible wand is great for reaching under furniture even if the floor head is a “little bulky”.

It’s “heavier than other Shark cordless models” but its strengths outweigh its issues. It happily tops our look at the best vacuum for pet hair, especially at this price. Such a low price means it’ll compete with the best budget vacuums easily.
