This upright vacuum is truly packed with all of the best features Shark fans have come to know, love, and expect from the brand’s products. For anyone in the market for an upright vac—whether that be yourself or a very lucky person in your life—it’s a practical and pretty choice that gets the job done. Strong suction, easy maneuverability, and HEPA filtration? Check, check, and check. With this upright vac in your cleaning corner, you can also expect added bonuses, like a lift-away pod for reaching any dust bunnies in high spaces or tight spots and DuoClean PowerFins, which are really small silicone brush roll additions that grab dirt and grime from carpet and hard floors. In our experience, Shark vacs tend to do exceptionally well when it comes to effectiveness and maneuverability, and prove over and over again that their vacuums are built to last. While we haven’t gotten our hands on this particular upright model quite yet, we do have enough positive experience with the brand to confidently recommend it.  We’re especially excited (and yes, we do get excited about vacuums around here) about this vacuum’s lift-away pod, which lets you add a wand and extend your reach to get into corners and crevices both high and low. The brush rolls are also designed with particular attention to human hair and pet fur, so you can expect less wrap and tangle than with other brands and models. The upright vacuum also features built-in LED lights to help you spot dirt and debris in dark spots and under furniture. Extra attachments are included with your purchase, as well, including a dusting brush, self-cleaning pet power brush, and crevice tool.  The Shark Vertex Upright Vacuum boasts a hardy 12-inch cleaning path and a 1-quart dust bin, so not only does the wide path mean fewer passes to finish your room, but you’ll have to pause and empty the bin less regularly than with smaller models, too. What’s more, it’s also designed with rose gold accents, so it’s equal parts practical and pretty. It’s the little things, right?  Jokes aside, this model checks all the important boxes and then some for what you need from a vacuum. It’s an exceptionally well-designed machine for both form and function. Don’t miss the chance to grab it at a major discount ahead of Black Friday. Our advice? Act fast before it sells out or the sale ends.
