If you’re late with spring cleaning, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale It could be the motivation you need. Judging from the deals I’ve seen, this is a good time to buy a new product Cordless vacuum. Almost all of Shark’s cordless models are available at a deep discount, including CNET’s top model overall, the Shark Stratos, and our pick for the best self-emptying cordless vacuum, the Shark Clean & Empty.

Using the Shark Stratos in the test lab on hardwood floors gave us great sand pickup results. You can see our test mat coming next.
Usually for $500 full price, you can get Stratos Shark For a full $200 discount, it comes down to just $300. The Shark Stratos received top scores in CNET’s lab tests. It has powerful suction power across floor types, picking up 97.2% of sand on hard floors. It also has an amazing carpet picking ability, picking up 94% of debris from low pile carpets and 94.4% from medium pile carpets.
“The Stratos is definitely the best,” said Shelar Breitenstein, the assistant lab technician who put the Stratos through its paces. “I use it to clean floors between pickup tests because it picks up the most debris at a distance.”
The Shark Stratos has a useful LED headlight to help it find dust.
I also used the Stratos extensively during my lab visit. As a pet owner with three cats who shed like a hobby, I especially like the brush head, which Shark calls the DuoClean PowerFines HairPro. It has a dual-brush system that allows it to dig deeper into carpets to remove dust and pet hair, and the self-cleaning brush resists tangling.
Other nifty features include automatic dirt detection and suction adjustment, optional scent pods that release a pleasant scent while cleaning, and an impressive battery life of up to 80 minutes for long sessions.
The Shark Clean and Empty is one of the few that comes with a self-emptying docking station.
One downside to the Shark Stratos is that despite its solid cleaning performance, you do need to empty the trash manually. Shark Clean & Empty solves this problem by incorporating a self-emptying docking station. It empties the trash and charges the vacuum after each use, and offers similar cleaning performance to the Stratos (although its battery doesn’t last nearly as long). It usually costs $350, but during Amazon’s spring sale, you can get it Clean and empty For only $250.
