Amazon Prime members can now purchase the Shark Cordless Pet Pro vacuum cleaner with an auto-empty base for £379.99, saving £120 off the regular price of £499.99. This deal is part of Amazon's ongoing Prime Day promotions and is specifically designed for pet owners who struggle with shedding fur.
Key Features and Savings
The Shark Cordless Pet Pro (model IZ420UKT) includes a self-emptying base that holds up to 30 days of debris, reducing the need for frequent emptying. It also features anti-allergen seal and HEPA filtration, capturing 99.9% of dust and allergens. The vacuum offers up to 40 minutes of runtime and converts to a handheld for above-floor cleaning.
According to Amazon, the deal represents a 24% discount, making it one of the top offers in the home appliance category. The vacuum is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars from over 1,200 customer reviews, with many praising its performance on pet hair and hard floors.
Comparison with Other Models
While the Shark Pet Pro is cordless, it competes with other cordless stick vacuums like the Dyson V15 Detect, which typically retails for over £500. The Shark model offers a lower price point and the convenience of an auto-empty base, a feature not commonly found in Dyson's cordless lineup. However, the Dyson V15 provides real-time particle detection and a higher suction power.
For those on a tighter budget, Amazon also offers the Shark Cordless Pet Pro without the auto-empty base for £249.99, saving £50. This version is lighter but requires manual emptying after each use.
Customer Feedback and Performance
Customer reviews highlight the vacuum's excellent maneuverability and effectiveness on carpets and upholstery. One verified purchaser noted, "This vacuum has been a game-changer for my two cats. The auto-empty base means I don't have to touch the dustbin for weeks." Another user mentioned that the battery life is sufficient for cleaning a three-bedroom house on a single charge.
However, some users reported that the vacuum can be top-heavy and may tip over when using the handheld mode. The auto-empty base also requires a specific docking station, which may take up floor space.
Availability and Shipping
The deal is available exclusively for Amazon Prime members. Non-members can sign up for a free 30-day trial to access the discount. The vacuum is in stock and eligible for free delivery. Amazon estimates delivery within 1-2 business days for Prime members in the UK.
This promotion is part of a broader sale on Shark products, including the Shark Anti-Hair Wrap upright vacuum at £199.99 (down from £279.99) and the Shark Steam Mop at £89.99 (down from £119.99).
