Not only do they need incredible suction power and be easy to use around the home, it's also important that they don’t break your budget.

However, Shark’s latest upright cordless vacuum promises to make cleaning chores a breeze — at a fraction of the price.

If you've ever dealt with a dry spillage or (in my case), soil debris from a child dragging it in under muddy shoes, it can be a nightmare trying to vacuum up every particle of tough clean-ups.
Thankfully, the Shark Freestyle Max Cordless Upright Vacuum comes with a powerful suction to quickly handle dirt and debris on any surface type. This is also thanks to its redesigned nozzle to reduce any clogs, and two brushroll speeds for deep-cleaning both carpets and bare floors.
Additionally, if you have pets, this is ideal for lifting stubborn fur or pet hair from surfaces, and will leave them spotless in no time.

Perhaps its selling point here is the fact that this model is Shark's lightest cordless upright vacuum yet. And while it may not look it, it weighs just under 7 pounds, making it super light to push around floors, or pick up and carry around the home with ease.

Large dust-cup capacity
Another great feature is its large dust cup capacity, meaning fewer trips to the trash can to empty out. What's more, the charging dock stand is slimline with a space-saving design for quick, grab-and-go access.
With such impressive features and bargain price, this could be a worthwhile investment and speed up your cleaning chores in the long-run.
