Shark vacuum that's a 'life-saver' for pet owners now less than £150

If you're a pet owner on the hunt for a vacuum or just need something with strong suction that can tackle carpets, Amazon Prime Deals Days has you covered. Right now, there's a generous discount on Shark's Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner, a model that's designed specifically with pet owners in mind.

Shoppers have described the upright vacuum as "amazing" for cleaning carpets, so even if you don't have a pet, it's still a great choice for giving thick carpets a proper deep clean.

It comes with a special suction tool that's said to be strong enough to pick up fur and pet dander, making it ideal for homes with four-legged friends. These pet-specific features are on top of all the classic Shark perks, like two floor modes that let you switch between hard floors and carpets with ease. The vacuum also holds a decent amount, with a 1.1-litre capacity.

Normally priced at £249.99, the vacuum is now £144.99 - that's a 49% saving. While it's also discounted on the Shark website, it's currently listed there at £249.99, down from £269.99, so Amazon's deal is the better option.

Like many of Shark's models, it has a brush roll designed to stop hair from getting tangled and clogging the vacuum, something shoppers seem to really appreciate. One Amazon reviewer said: "I have a dog, so the anti-tangle design is a lifesaver, as is the ability to actually pick up pet hair."

Although it's a corded, upright model, it transforms into a more portable vacuum, thanks to a lift-away main compartment. Despite being upright, it's not bulky, weighing just 5.6kg, which means it's actually one of the lightest models in Shark's upright range.

One shopper commented: "I found it easy to put together. It works well, is quite efficient with enough suction power for me. It's not too heavy. Weight is a factor when you have to take it upstairs."

While some might be put off by a cord, reviewers say it doesn't get in the way much. As one Amazon review said: "Cord is long enough for me to plug in downstairs and clean downstairs as well as the stairs before needing unplugging to plug in upstairs."

That said, if you're after something lighter, nimbler, or portable, a cordless model might be more up your alley. Among the few negative reviews on Amazon, most complaints relate to the cord being "in the way" or issues with manoeuvrability.

This vacuum also comes with three handy attachments for more targeted cleaning: an Anti Hair Wrap Pet Tool, a Crevice Tool (great for stairs, corners and furniture) and a Multi-Surface Tool (which works on fabric and hard surfaces alike).

Shoppers say it's easy to assemble: just clip it together and go.

With a 4.6-star rating on Amazon, reviewers are particularly impressed by its suction power. One shopper said: "This vacuum is amazing. It is solidly made, manoeuvres into tight corners, flush against walls, and has really powerful 2 different suctions for hard and carpeted areas."

Another added: "For the price, it far exceeds in quality and performance the more expensive ones available... I am very pleased with my purchase, as are my carpets!"

The vacuum comes with a five-year warranty for added peace of mind. However, as with all Prime Deal Days offers, these discounts won't last long. The sale ends at midnight on October 8.

Remember, to access these deals, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member. If you haven't already signed up, Amazon offers a30-day free trial, which gives you full access to the sale plus speedy, free delivery. After that, you can decide whether to stick with it or cancel (no strings attached).
