#1 Pick Your Perfect Player
Choosing the right vacuum gets you that much closer to a sparkling clean home. Shark’s impressive range includes handy handheld cleaners for blitzing the highchair and pet beds; corded, upright cleaners for big jobs and large homes; and lightweight, cordless stick vacs for speedy in-between cleans. Which Shark are you taking home?
The do-it-all: Shark cordless stick vacuums
Smart cleaning technologies adjust power to suit every surface, while a flexible wand bends so you don’t have to. Use the upholstery tool on couch cushions, or the pet tool to lift fur from the shaggy rug.
The deep cleaner: Shark cordless vacuums with dirt sensing
Selected models use a sensor that detects hidden dust and dirt and boosts suction to match. An indicator on the floorhead shows you when the job’s done.
The 2-in-1: Shark cordless vacuums with a detachable handheld
Clean the floors, then pop off the lightweight handheld to take care of spot cleans around the house.
The heavy lifter: Shark corded upright vacuums
With a powerful motor and a large dustbin, a Shark upright lets you clear plenty of pet hair, dirt and grime in one go.
The quick fixer: Shark handheld vacuums
Leave every surface mess-free with crevice, dusting and pet tools, then pop it back on its charging dock.

#2 Don’t delay
Vacuum sooner rather than later. If you wait until your floors and carpets look dirty, you’re likely tracking dust and dirt through every room and creating a bigger job for yourself. For an always guest-ready home, keep on top of everyday dust with a lightweight Shark cordless vacuum and aim to vacuum around twice a week, or more if you have kids or pets.

#3 Set the stage
Save time and effort by clearing the floors and moving furniture like dining chairs and kitchen stools before you vacuum. This gives easy access to high-traffic areas and clears the path for your Shark vacuum.
Bigger items like couches and coffee tables can stay put. Many Shark cordless vacuums have a flexible wand that bends in half, so you can slide under and around furniture, reach tricky corners and get to hidden dust. Built-in LED headlights on selected models help you spot every last crumb under the couch.
#4 Clean smarter
Whether you’re tackling the kitchen tiles or the hallway carpet, make the most of Shark’s intelligent cleaning modes for a quick, quality clean. Shark’s smart vacuums detect and react to their surroundings, adjusting settings to suit each surface.
“Shark vacuums have jumped on the AI train with four smart cleaning modes that automatically switch on and off as they’re needed for deeper cleans on every surface,” says Nick Trajkovski, The Good Guys Buyer - Floorcare. “From auto-illuminating LED lights to suction boosts around room edges and particularly dirty spots, these modes are designed with family homes and everyday cleaning in mind.”
#5 Clean the machine
A pristine clean needs a clean machine, and Shark cordless vacuums make this step simple. Auto-empty models empty themselves when docked into a bagless base that holds weeks’ worth of dust and debris. The latest Shark models also have self-cleaning brushrolls and washable filters to keep them working like new, plus odour control technology to keep your vacuum smelling fresh.
