Shark is one of the best vacuum brands on the market. The brand offers vacuums that are high-quality, long-lasting and affordable. One of our CBS Essentials shopping experts, Rachel Center, owns a Shark upright vacuum. She tells us that its cleaning abilities on both hardwood floors and rugs are still top-notch four years after purchase.

That’s why we’re so excited about this Shark sale that’s going on right now on Amazon, which includes discounts of up to 31% off on various products, including an upright vacuum, robot vacuum, cordless vacuums and more. It’s your perfect opportunity to start spring cleaning early and save big while doing it.

Shark AI Ultra self-empty robot vacuum: Save 31%

The 4.2-star-rated Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum has a lot going for it. It has a self-cleaning brush roll, a HEPA filter and a self-cleaning canister, so you never have to empty the vacuum yourself — the vacuum does so automatically in the docking station. The vacuum also contains CleanEdge technology that blows air into corners so that it can get to dirt and debris more easily. 

The Shark AI Ultra self-empty robot vacuum comes with a corresponding app that lets you set a cleaning schedule or activate cleanings remotely. If you have Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, you can do this all with voice commands. This cleaning machine can run up to two hours on a single charge. You have about 60 days until the dust bin in the docking station needs to be emptied.

One reviewer wrote that this was “a great addition to their home,” adding: “I absolutely love this vacuum! I have had it for several months and have had no issues. I have a medium-sized dog who is very furry and the vacuum cleaner gets all the hair off the floor. I have hardwood floors with area rugs and throw rugs at the doors and the sweeper manages all the different areas and heights of rugs with no problems.”

Normally priced at $650, you can get this robot vacuum at Amazon for just $448, a savings of 31%.

Shark ZU561 Navigator Lift-Away upright vacuum: Save $40

What we love most about this Shark vacuum is that you can detach the handle and canister from the base, transforming it into a handheld vacuum instantly. With this functionality, you’ll be able to reach dust and debris in your couch, baseboard corners and other tight areas with ease. 

This Shark upright has separate modes for hard floors and rugs, comes with a HEPA filter and has a 2.8-quart (about 11 cups) capacity in the dust cup. It also boasts a 4.5-star rating on Amazon, with more than 86,100 ratings. (Note that the $40 discount only applies to the red ZU561 model.)

One reviewer wrote, “I was literally blown away at how good this vacuum worked. I’ve got kids, husband and a dog and this vacuum did such a good job it looked like I hadn’t vacuumed in years. You can feel how strong the suction is and as a mom I need a good vacuum. If you don’t want to spend hundreds on a great vacuum I highly suggest this one.”

Shark Vertex Pro lightweight cordless stick vacuum with DuoClean PowerFins: Save 20%

The Shark Vertex Pro cordless stick vacuum can run for up to 120 minutes and be converted into a handheld vacuum. It has a self-cleaning brush roll, HEPA filtration and, unlike some other cordless vacuum models, comes with a display that allows you to see how much battery you have left. 

We really like the vacuum’s flexible wand, which can bend (to an extent) under furniture to clean harder-to-reach areas. When not in use, the Shark Vertex Pro can be configured to half its size and stay upright for easy storage. 

The vacuum has a 4.3-star rating on Amazon. One customer wrote, “This is not a cheap vacuum, you get what you pay for. It’s worth every cent. We have hardwood floors and area rugs that need vacuuming often. We have a gravel driveway and that requires daily vacuuming. This vacuum has amazing suction and is powerful. Gets the job done with ease. Also, don’t even get me started on the bendable arm. It’s a game changer.”

It’s important to know that the 20% discount only applies to the black color option. Normally $500, it’s just $400 at Amazon now. 

Shark Anti-Allergen cordless stick vacuum: Save 24%

If you suffer from household allergies, such as pet dander and dust mites, this Shark cordless stick vacuum may help alleviate some allergy symptoms. That’s because the vacuum not only comes with HEPA filtration, but it also has an anti-allergen seal, ensuring that up to 99.9% of particles 0.3 microns or larger are captured and remain in the vacuum. 

The Shark Anti-Allergen cordless stick vacuum has a self-cleaning brush roll, LED headlights on the brush head and can be configured into a handheld vacuum. You can expect to use this for up to 40 minutes before it needs additional charging. 

This Shark cordless stick vacuum has a 4.3-star rating on Amazon. One reviewer wrote, “We love love love this vacuum, it truly is a boost of dopamine every time I get to use it. We have carpet under the kitchen table and this thing vacuums lots of crumbs and food particles dropped by toddlers. Has made my life much easier. Also like how you can get under the couch much easier than with those clunky vacuums.” 

Regularly $330, get this Shark vacuum while it’s on sale at Amazon for $250.
