Amazon knocks £100 off 'powerful' Shark vacuum that's 'easy to manoeuvre'

If you're after a new vacuum cleaner it can be quite overwhelming with there being so many brands and types available on the market. Shark has earned a reputation for selling high-quality vacuums, however, they can be costly compared to alternatives.

For a limited time, Amazon is offering a big discount on the Shark Corded Upright 1.1L Vacuum Cleaner, so now is the time to give the brand a try if you've had doubts about splashing out. Originally costing £269, the online giant is selling the vacuum for £169, giving you a fabulous £100 saving. 

The rose gold upright vacuum has anti-hair wrap technology and comes with three handy attachments - a Pet Tool, Crevice Tool and Multi-Surface Tool. The gadget has useful LED headlights that illuminate any hidden dust that could be lurking under your furniture or in tight spaces.

The Shark Corded Upright 1.1L Vacuum Cleaner has two floor modes - carpet and hard floor - and can be transformed into a portable vacuum. This makes cleaning stairs, sofas, and hard to reach places much easier.

The vacuum comes with a five year warranty upon registration with Shark, giving you peace of mind. Over 1,600 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the vacuum, with it receiving an average rating of 4.6 out of five. 

One happy Amazon customer said: "This vacuum cleaner has exceeded my expectations. Not only does it have strong suction power, but it is also easy to manoeuvre around furniture. The attachments make it versatile for cleaning various surfaces, and the dust bin is easy to empty and clean.

"The long cord allows me to move around different rooms without constantly unplugging and replugging the vacuum. It is on the bulkier side, but you can detach it to clean specific areas, which is quite useful."

They continued: "Overall, I am extremely pleased with this vacuum cleaner and would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a new one. Its performance has made cleaning my home much easier and more efficient. I appreciate the thought and design that went into making this vacuum user-friendly and practical. The investment is well worth it."

A second delighted customer explained: "It's smaller than the last upright vacuum I had and is a little lighter, but still packs a powerful punch on suction. Easy to assemble with a bit of thought and looks nice. There is nothing quite like seeing all the nasty stuff it's picked up and feeling relieved it isn’t still in your carpet and on your floors! The high suction mode is so powerful, it's hard to move on deep carpets but luckily you can use a minimum setting too. The flexible little head makes it easy to manoeuvre in tighter spaces or around corners."

They did, however, point out a couple of slight issues, as they explained: "The power lead can sometimes get in the way, so I have to hook it around my shoulder. Also, the power switch for the suction setting is on the handle, meaning that I sometimes knock it accidentally. I'm doing it less now though, so I guess you get used to it! All in all I'm happy with my purchase and I think it's really good value for money."
