Shark's best-rated cordless vacuum drops to its cheapest price - and it's the one I'd buy (2024)

We're in the middle of March, so why not fully embrace the spring cleaning cliché and buy TechRadar's top-rated vacuum cleaner while it's available for a historic low price?

If your current vacuum isn't up to the job any more or you're sick of unclogging the brush roll after every use, then don't miss your chance to get the Shark Stratos Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner at Amazon for £279 (was £499.99). That's over £200 off a model we rate as the best vacuum cleaner money can buy right now.

I'll also add my own recommendation alongside TechRadar's home experts. I've used a similar device from the same manufacturer for a couple of years and it's made vacuuming much easier and less stressful.

It's one of those times when I can genuinely say with no exaggeration that it's changed my life. With it, I can clean the whole house without needing to recharge and I don't have to spend 15 minutes unclogging the brush roll after each use to extract hairs and other debris that impact performance.

Shark Stratos - record-low price at Amazon UK

Our Shark Stratos Cordless review gave this model 4.5 stars out of five for its impressive adaptive suction power on hard floors and carpets that can change on the fly to ensure it sucks up as much dirt and dust as possible.

It's also a versatile device with a flexible wand that can bend 90 degrees to get under furniture and anti-hair wrap technology to keep the brush roll clear of jams.

What's more, this version comes with two battery packs so you get up to 120 minutes of runtime which is surely more than enough to whizz around the home.

Of course, even with the 45% discount, this is still a relatively expensive vacuum. The value for money is undeniable, though, if your budget can stretch to it. I've added more of the best vacuum cleaner deals below just to make that clear, as many are considerably more expensive than the Shark Stratos.
