Missed out on nabbing the popular Shark cordless vacuum for £199 in John Lewis' Winter Sale?

Don't panic, as today Amazon have come to the rescue with its deals of the day and discounted the usually £349 gadget to only £179 - that's a hefty £170 off.

With the vacuum now back up to full price on both John Lewis and Currys, this could be your last chance to bag yourself a hugely discounted vacuum for quite a while.

Why we rate it:

Not only will you be able to glide between carpets and hard floors with the twin tech floorhead, you'll also be able to pick up hair without having to vacuum back and forth over the same spot due to Shark's Anti Hair Wrap Technology.

Plus, the flexible wand bends so you don’t have to, easily cleaning underneath furniture and folding down for compact storage.

It can also transform into a handheld machine at just the touch of a button, while the LED lights illuminate hidden dust underneath furniture.

What the reviews say:

With over 9,000 reviews (a whopping 78% of which are five stars) it's fair to say there are more than enough rave reviews to scroll through.

While newbies to the cordless vacuum life simply can't get over how easy the lightweight and moveable gadget is, making battling with cords and trying to carry a clunky upright vacuum up the stairs a thing of the past.

Many also note it's "very versatile", effortlessly gliding over both wood floors and carpet, as well as the hand held part allowing you to get easy access to window ledges, stairs and tricky corners.

Customers also love that it can fold down for storage and say its "suction is excellent".

So if you're searching for a vacuum that gives you ease, suction and versatility, we're pretty sure you'll be kicking yourself if you don't snap up this deal.
