Forget Dyson — Shark’s new upright cordless vacuum promises double power at a fraction of the cost

Shark Freestyle Max Cordless Upright Vacuum.

Whether you want to make light work of daily chores, have multiple floor types, or even shedding pets, having one of the best vacuum cleaners is essential. Not only do they need incredible suction power and be easy to use around the home, it's also important that they don’t break your budget. And with so many different brands and sizes on the market, you'd assume that only the premium, expensive models would do, right?

However, Shark’s latest upright cordless vacuum promises to make cleaning chores a breeze at a fraction of the price. The Shark Freestyle Max is the newest upright cordless that offers more power, multi-surface pick-up and is the brand’s lightest cordless. And at just $199, this offers great value for money.

So, what can we expect from the Shark Freestyle Max? Here’s everything you need to know.

Tackles tough messes

If you've ever dealt with a dry spillage or (in my case), soil debris from a child dragging it in under muddy shoes, it can be a nightmare trying to vacuum up every particle of tough clean-ups.

Thankfully, the Shark Freestyle Max Cordless Upright Vacuum comes with a powerful suction to quickly handle dirt and debris on any surface type. This is also thanks to its redesigned nozzle to reduce any clogs, and two brushroll speeds for deep-cleaning both carpets and bare floors.

Additionally, if you have pets, this is ideal for lifting stubborn fur or pet hair from surfaces, and will leave them spotless in no time.

Lightest upright cordless vacuum yet

Perhaps its selling point here is the fact that this model is Shark's lightest upright cordless vacuum yet. And while it may not look it, it weighs just under 7 pounds, making it super light to push around floors, or pick up and carry around the home with ease.

It also comes with a swivel head that can easily get around corners and into tight spaces with minimal effort. Additionally, this is more convenient if you have plenty of stairs or several floors. No more arm ache to contend with!

Large dust-cup capacity

Another great feature is its large dust cup capacity, meaning fewer trips to the trash can to empty out. What's more, the charging dock stand is slimline with a space-saving design for quick, grab-and-go access.

With such impressive features and bargain price, this could be a worthwhile investment and speed up your cleaning chores in the long-run.

Where to buy

The Shark Freestyle Max Cordless Upright Vacuum is $199, and available to buy at Amazon.com
