Save up to 50%: As of Sept. 28, a Shark robot vacuum and two Shark cordless stick vacuums have dropped under $300. These early access Prime Day deals save you between $120 and $300, depending on the model.


Considering how fast dust, hair, and crumbs accumulate on the floor, every day counts when it comes to cleaning. Maybe that's the mindset behind these early access Prime deals on Shark vacuums coming more than a week ahead of Amazon's second Prime Day of the year. Three models (one robot vacuum and two cordless stick vacuums) are on sale, saving you at least 34% — and up to 50% if you choose the robot vac.

Robot vacuums on sale

Almost 17,000 Amazon customers have given a five-star backing to Shark's RV1001AE robot vacuum. The best-seller typically goes for $599.99, but this $300 (half off!) discount drops it under $300, matching its all-time low pricing.

The RV1001AE makes a map of your home and can be sent to specific rooms on your command through the app. After cleaning, this Shark empties itself and contains its own debris for 45 days (or more) at a time. That's more than Roombas at this price point can say.

Cordless vacuums on sale

Two of Shark's anti-allergen cordless stick vacuums are also on sale: one with 50-minute battery life or one with 120-minute battery life thanks to two battery packs.

Neither have a dust-detecting laser head like a Dyson vac more than double their price, but the attachments that are included — a long-reach crevice tool, a pet multi-tool, and a curved dusting brush to reach under super low-profile furniture — provide versatile coverage. Both cleaning heads have headlights and are equipped with Shark PowerFins for digging deep into carpet and self-cleaning brushrolls to prevent hair wrapping.
