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.
- Amazon Shark deals: save on the complete Shark range today
- AO.com Shark deals: amazing savings on cordless and more
- Curry's Shark savings: they put their best discounts front and centre
- Shark Clean deals: exclusive Shark vacuum savings
- Very Shark deals: save up to £150 on Shark upright and cordless vacuums
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.
Outside of Black Friday, you can also find Shark deals over the Amazon Prime Day events, which are typically held in both June 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.
