In our Shark Cordless Pro vacuum review, our tester awarded this model an impressive 4 stars. During testing, they found it excellent on hard floors and for light cleans, and did a very decent job on carpet too. Helpfully, the main motor section can be clipped to the front of the machine so it can be stored freestanding.

Shark makes some of the very best cordless vacuums on the market right now. The brand has built a reputation for effective, well-built, affordable vacuums with genuinely helpful design features – like that notch for freestanding storage. This model doesn't have as much outright power as the pricier models in the range (for example, the Shark PowerDetect cordless) but will be perfectly fine for most people's needs.

Alternatives to consider

Dreame R20: was $449.99 now $249.99 at Amazon

It's slightly more expensive than the Shark Cordless Pro, but if you can afford the extra $50, the Dreame R20 is well worth it. It's a downright steal at this price. Expect excellent suction – with added automation features – a lightweight build and ultra-long battery life to boot. Find out more in our Dreame R20 review.

Shark Cordless vacuum cleaner: was $349.99 now $199.99 at Amazon

This model is rather similar to the Cordless Pro above, and comes in at the same price. Like that model, it has an anti-hair wrap brushroll, up to 40 minutes of cleaning, a HEPA filter, LED headlamps and a notch for freestanding storage. The power is the same on both models, but this one doesn't have an anti-odor puck, and the dust cup is smaller. You do get one extra detail tool, though. If you prefer a simpler vacuum, it might be a better pick.
