Is Shark taking part in Black Friday this year?

Shark has previously taken part in the Black Friday and Cyber Weekend promotions – and they’re definitely doing it again this year!

You can sign up here to be the first to get early access to the Shark sale.

As Shark products are sold at a number of retailers including Argos, Currys, AO and more – it’s likely that some products will go into the retailer-specific promotions, which may vary slightly from offers at Shark’s official website.

It’s best to shop around to find the best Black Friday deal for you.

What to expect from Shark’s Black Friday sale 2023

This year we’re hoping for bigger and better deals on a number of Shark appliances. Of course, it’s likely that older models will be discounted more than some of the newer releases.

However, it’s too early to say exactly which of the coveted vacuum cleaners will see huge price drops.

What was in Shark’s sale last year

Last year, customers saw some hefty discounts on most of the Shark items.

Here are some of our favourites:

• Shark Anti Hair Wrap Upright Vacuum Cleaner with Lift-Away, Pet Model, £169.99, save £130.99 – buy here
• Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Flexology, Pet Model, £189, save £190.99 – buy here
• Shark STYLE iQ Ionic Hair Dryer & Styler HD120UK, £179.99 (save £20) – buy here
• SHARK Anti Hair Wrap IZ202UK Cordless Vacuum Cleaner – Blue, £189, save £160 from Currys – buy here

When is Cyber Monday 2023 and is Shark taking part?

We’d assume so. Shark has offered its customers huge savings across the Cyber Weekend and sometimes even a little bit after most promotions have ended.

We’d say it’s highly likely that we’ll see the same for Cyber Monday this year.

There’s also a chance that prices could drop further on Cyber Monday as an effort to ditch the old stock ahead of newer arrivals.

So, it’s definitely worth a look at the Cyber Monday sales – and it’s your last chance to bag a deal.

How much do Shark vacuums cost?

The cost of a Shark vacuum very much depends on the model and features you’re looking for.

Prices for the brand’s cordless vacuums can start at anywhere from £200 and can go up to more than £500 for some of the more advanced models.

Prices for upright vacuum cleaners can cost somewhere between £250 and £500.

To make sure you’re always getting the best deal, we’d advise customers to check and compare prices at multiple retailers before you commit to your purchase.

Shoppers can also use a price tracker such as CamelCamelCamel to see how much the price of the model you’re looking at has changed over the last year.

Who makes Shark vacuum cleaners?

Shark originally started out in the US and is owned by a company called JS Global.

According to the Shark website, it’s the ‘world’s 3rd largest small household appliances-focused company’.

Shark vacuum cleaners have been manufactured in China for the past seven years.

Is Shark better than Dyson?

Shark vacuums are well-reviewed and are proving to be tough competition for top-end vacuum brands like Dyson and Vax.

Shark vacuum cleaners are well-priced and powerful with innovative, useful and convenient features.

Finding the right model for you will heavily depend on what features you’ll need. In testing that we’ve done in the past, we’ve found that some of the latest Dyson models tend to be a bit more powerful and (in our opinion) have a more stylish look.

However, in terms of price, Dyson vacuum cleaners tend to come with a heftier price tag. Generally speaking, we prefer the additional features you get with Shark vacuum cleaners like the NZ801UKT vacuum cleaner model, which comes with extra attachments for pet owners.

If you have lots of furry pets or are looking for easy and convenient storage solutions when your cleaner isn’t in use – we recommend opting for one of Shark’s top models.

What is the best Shark vacuum cleaner?

This depends on your needs and preferences, but look out for Shark vacuum cleaners with special features when you’re making your choice.

For a good all-rounder, we recommend the NZ801UKT or NZ801UK Upright Vacuum Cleaner as some of the best overall Shark vacuum cleaners to opt for.

Both of these classic models feature the ‘Lift away’ functionality, which allows you to go portable and carry the vacuum cleaner around – ideal for cleaning stairs or around hard-to-reach areas.

Coveted anti-hair wrap technology, combs hairs out of the rollers to stop them from clogging up your vacuum cleaner and potentially breaking your vacuum.

Does Shark offer any other discounts?
