Shark is known for creating iconic products like the Shark Glam Multi-Styler and the last summer's viral Shark FlexBreeze HydroGo misting fan. And when it comes to cleaning up your home, they've got a range of items our experts have happily tested, including the 2-in-1 Shark VacMop and the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum.

But, how about something a little different? Namely, an air blasting system that works both indoors and out. Allow me to introduce you to the Shark BlastBoss, a product designed to help you clear up messes around the home with an airflow that works... well, like a boss.

The Shark BlastBoss is a compact, cordless, and easy-to-grab tool for cleaning up messes both inside and outside of your home. It comes with three interchangeable attachments, depending on the job you need it to do. And you can pick it up in Charcoal, Dove, Peony, Sky and Sage right now.

About the Shark BlastBoss

The Shark BlastBoss is what the brand is called "a first-of-its-kind indoor-outdoor air blasting system", which is likely why it's given it the much catchier title of BlastBoss.

With an adjustable airflow of up to 190 MPH, it aims to budge messes like sand from your car seats or toys from under your couch or pine needles on your porch, demonstrating it can be used both in your home, outside, and even in your car. And fortunately, the adjustable airflow can be easily changed using a variable-speed button to give you the power you need, depending on the job.

As Julie Saldarriaga, VP of Marketing at SharkNinja explains: “At SharkNinja, we’re obsessed with solving the everyday problems people have simply learned to live with. Too often, disruptive messes don’t justify pulling out large, cumbersome equipment—yet they still demand attention. BlastBoss was engineered to fill that gap, delivering targeted, high-performance cleaning power in a compact, always-within-reach design."

Shark isn't done with just calling it the BlastBoss, though. With three interchangeable attachments, the company also offers a BlastBroom. For this, you get the airflow alongside a sweeping tool that can clear debris from patios and walkways whilst also blowing away mess.

Then, there's the extension wand for hard-to-reach places and a precision nozzle for concentrated airflow, like you'd expect on a vacuum. What you get with the BlastBoss though, is a compact and cordless solution for any messes you need to blow away, weighing in at under 1.5 pounds.

Here's why I can't wait to try it

At first glance, I'll be completely honest, I felt like the Shark BlastBoss looked like a stylish, but perhaps glorified, leaf blower. And it pretty much is, but its scope is so much larger. It's clearly versatile, working both inside and outside of your home, which I think is absolutely genius.

Knowing I could use it to reach into places I can't get to with my vacuum and blowing dirt out to places I can then reach to hoover it up is something I've been trying and failing to do with various other home items for ages.

And I'll admit, I also found it to be a surprising drop for the brand. Having recently covered the launch of the Shark's new misting and cooling handheld fan, the Shark ChillPill, I expected more cooling products to be released in the lead-up to summer.

While that's probably still the case, what I didn't expect was an air blasting system with a multitude of uses. But, its features are certainly drawing me in. I'll wait until we get our hands on it for a full review before I make any final judgments on it. What I do know is I can't wait to try it out.

The BlastBoss is available now for $149.99 at SharkNinja and Amazon.
