Cordless vs Upright: Best Shark Vacuum for Your Home

Shark Cordless vs Upright: What’s the Difference?

• Cordless Shark Vacuums: Great for flexibility and quick clean-ups. They’re compact, battery-powered, and ideal if you like zipping around the house without worrying about plug sockets.
• Upright Shark Vacuums: Plugged-in for power and performance. These models are built for deeper cleans and come with larger dustbins to handle bigger messes.

Why Choose Cordless?

• No faffing with cords
• Light and easy to carry
• Perfect for stairs, cars, and high-up shelves
• Newer models offer decent battery life and quick charging

Why Go Upright?

• More suction for tougher jobs
• Bigger dustbins = fewer trips to the bin
• Lift-Away features make cleaning stairs easier
• Great for large homes or serious spring cleans
