With a new season promising new beginnings just around the corner, many people will be looking around their homes and wondering: ‘How on earth did I let this place get so filthy?’. We all dread the weekly clean – the thought of dragging a heavy vacuum along, scrubbing and sweeping only to find a patch of dust that couldn’t be reached is enough to ruin anyone’s day.
But maybe it’s time for a vacuum upgrade to ease the pain. Shark is a fan favourite when it comes to all things household and cleaning as they have a range of vacuum cleaners, steam cleaners, air purifiers and many other gadgets – plenty of which have been said to rival the iconic Dyson. However, buyers may not want to break the bank in a bid to grab one of the well loved vacs.
Thankfully, they no longer have to, as the Shark Corded Upright Vacuum Cleaner is now down to £122.55 from £199.99 on Amazon.

The 5.2kg lightweight vacuum can be easily transformed to become portable, so buyers no longer need to worry about missing spots. Whether it’s the stairs, ceilings, or even the car, the Shark can do it all.
It can also be switched between carpet and hard floor mode, with controls on the handle and adjustable suction control. According to the brand it captures 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum, not releasing them back into the air.
Along with the vacuum comes a 2 in 1 crevice tool and an upholstery tool, and its 1.1 litre capacity is an additional win for buyers.
There are a wide range of vacuums on the market to browse, too. For example, the Geepas Cordless Vacuum Cleaner for £90.07 from Debenhams offers powerful suction and versatile cleaning capabilities, and also transitions between stick and handheld modes.
Those who find Shark calling out to them could take a look at the Shark Stratos Pet Pro Anti Hair Wrap Plus Anti-Odour for £249.99, which is the perfect choice for pet owners who want their house to still smell and look great. The vacuum is said to remove long, short and pet hair from the brush-roll as you clean, and also can become portable. Buyers who want to stick to old favourites could also check out the Dyson Ball Animal Origin for £329.99, which is said to clean carpets better than any other upright de-tangling vacuum.
The Shark corded upright vacuum cleaner has got a high rating of 4.6 out of 5 star rating from a total of 18,875 reviews on the Amazon site. One customer said: “I used this for the first time yesterday and it honestly made it look like we had never hoovered the floor before given what it picked up… Definitely pleased with my purchase and given my midlife age, what a treat this was.”
Another said: “Amazing suction, easy to change tools, can’t fault it at the moment. Delivered on time and well packaged.”
“I am amazed… If you are considering purchasing one, which you probably are since you are reading this, do it. It is excellent.”
Some, sadly, weren’t as impressed as one buyer said: “The hoover seems okay, but it should have come with a pet tool, unfortunately that was not in the box! I chose this hoover because I needed the pet tool.”
Another said: “It works okay. The problem for me is it replaced my four year old Shark which was absolutely brilliant. If this was my first Shark I’d mark it much higher but it’s not as good as the old one.”
