Shark deals – find the best savings on top-rated vacuums, steam cleaners and more
Where, when and how to get the deals worth shopping
If we had to pick two things we love to do the most here at Ideal Home, it'd be discovering the truly great buys that will actually make your life easier and finding them at the best prices. Swotting up on how to snag Shark deals is therefore right in our wheelhouse, so we've worked to let you know exactly when and where you should be shopping to ensure you can make the most of the best bargains around.
If you need help identifying which Shark vacuum is the best fit for your home, you can check out our guide to the best Shark vacuum cleaners, where we've tried, tested, and decoded the specifications of the bestselling models.
After all, there's a reason that the Shark brand features heavily in our guide to the best vacuum cleaners money can buy, not least because of the quality and innovation you'll get with a Shark vacuum. Design perks such as the DuoClean brush head, which toggles between carpet and hard floors with the touch of a button, and Flexology, which easily pivots to reach under furniture, will make an instant difference in your cleaning routine.
Here's what you need to know to make sure you can get the best prices on the Shark vacuums, steam cleaners and stain removers.
Where to find the best Shark deals
Of course, the Shark website itself always aims to contain some of the best offers, but it's far from the only place you should be checking out, so these are the other retailers we'd recommend taking a look at.
When is the best time to get a Shark deal?
The best time to find Shark deals, as it is with most home appliances, is over Black Friday, when most retailers discount their products. Over the past few years the sales events have lasted for the most of the month, so generally speaking November is the best time to buy. The next Black Friday will be held on 28th November 2025.
Outside of Black Friday, you can also find Shark deals over the Amazon Prime Day events, which are typically held in both June or July and October, although dates for 2025 have yet to be announced.
Seasonal sales won't typically have the best Shark deals, but if you're looking for a good price on a new vacuum outside of Black Friday and the Amazon deals period, then the post-Christmas and end of summer sales are still worth a check.
Otherwise, you can always keep an eye on current Shark discount codes as you might be able to find a voucher code for the item you want throughout the year.
How can you tell if you have found a good Shark deal?
Making sure you're purchasing one of the Shark deals that really is, well, a deal, is one of the most important things to bear in mind, especially over the hectic rush of sales season.
Firstly, if you can, keep an eye on prices some time before you plan to buy so you can track the price changes. However, we're well aware that's not always going to be possible.
Aside from simply price, see what else they're offering. Some retailers may offer an extra bundle of accessories or an extra battery.
What is a good price for a Shark vacuum?
There's such variation in the Shark vacuums – from handheld all the way to the bells-and-whistles of the latest cordless model – that the price massively varies. So, again, the best thing to do is to keep an eye on prices and discounts.
Exact discounts are impossible to predict, but in previous years we have seen discounts of up to 50% on Shark products come Black Friday so if you're patient you should be able to make a sizeable dent in the price.
Do be aware that the latest models, like the Shark PowerDetect range may well not be discounted at all, so it's always good to have a backup in mind.
FAQs
Which Shark vacuum should I buy?
There are so many options when it comes to choosing the right Shark vacuum cleaner for you. In fact, it can be a little overwhelming. There are some key things to know when it comes to shopping for a Shark vacuum deal, which can make that choice a little easier.
For a start, the way the Shark vacuum range is extensive. There are of course the more obvious differences between models, like a Shark corded versus a cordless model, but it can then get a little more complex. Subtle differences such as the number of batteries or the different accessories you can get with your new vacuum will change the model number and price, so think carefully about which attachments and the number of batteries you'll need when shopping.
To make life a bit more simple, cut through the jargon and discover what Shark vacuum terms actually mean, so you know whether of not you need a machine with FloorDetect, Powered Lift-Away or LightDetect
Are Shark vacuums better than Dyson?
Naturally, it's difficult to pit two brands against one another as they each have their positives and negatives and treat different pain points for consumers; however, from a price point perspective alone, Shark's value for money is undeniable.
Our explainer covering the great Shark vs Dyson debate has the full lowdown on the technical differences and factors to consider, but we think that if you're looking for a budget vacuum, you can't go wrong with investing in a Shark.
