I'm a home tech editor and this Shark vacuum is my best cordless Dyson alternative – and it's on sale right now with its lowest ever price on Amazon
The Shark Detect Pro Cordless vacuum cleaner is on offer for under $200 at Amazon, features automatic dust detection and impressive cleaning power to rival Dyson
I'm a home tech pro, testing, reviewing and writing about everything vacuums, day in and day out here at Homes & Gardens and a brilliant cordless Dyson alternative I tested for weeks and loved has just gone on sale with its lowest ever price.
One of our best cordless vacuums and matching many of Dyson vacuums' cleaning features, the Shark Detect Pro Cordless is on sale on Amazon, going for less than $200. Its dust detection and automatic, responsive suction power adjustment rival Dyson, and it does a fantastic job of cleaning your floors but for a fraction of the price.
I've dived into its price data and this is the cheapest the Shark Detect Pro Cordless has ever been on Amazon, so grab this best Dyson alternative deal whilst it lasts.
Shark Detect Pro Cordless | was $379.99, now $199.99 at Amazon (save $180)
To match Dyson's cleaning power, the Shark Detect Pro Cordless can detect floor type, dust volume and even your floor's edges so that it can automatically adjust suction power (between three modes). It also has a multi-surface floorhead, anti-allergen HEPA filtration, and an LED display to show battery life and cleaning mode.
Why I loved the Shark Detect Pro Cordless
I tested and reviewed the Shark Detect Pro Cordless myself this year, both in our dedicated test center and in my own home for three weeks, and was impressed by the cleaning power on offer for such a reasonable price. Now that at its lowest price ever on Amazon, this is an exceptional chance to upgrade your home cleaning for a fraction of the usual price. You'll struggle to find a vacuum this good for under $200.
This massive discount is likely a result of Shark releasing the new Cordless PowerDetect (retailing for $499.99 at Shark). While the newer model will have upgraded features, such as detecting which direction you're vacuuming for improved performance, the Detect Pro Cordless is still a worthy vacuum cleaner and one of the best Dyson alternatives I've ever tested.
I also loved how quickly it charged up from initial setup, meaning I could test it within an hour of plugging it in to charge.
One of the stand-out wins of the Detect Pro Cordless is how flexible it is. During testing, I found it incredibly easy to maneuver under furniture and around corners, while gliding smoothly across carpets and hard floors. Suction power is impressive across all floor types too, but it excelled on carpet especially with the use of boost mode.

Like Dyson's recent flagship vacuums including the V15 Detect, the Shark Detect Pro Cordless has a 'boost' mode that will activate automatically when it detects high levels of dust, rug and carpet flooring, or the floor's edges. This responsive processing makes cleaning a lot easier.
It also comes with a QuadClean floor head, wand, charger, removable battery and crevice tool, and can detach to become handheld, which is really useful when you're in a rush or just need to clear up a small spill.
And technical features aside, the vacuum cleaner looks great. It has a distinct white, gray and purple color scheme that'll likely be a nice addition to your home (if you don't store your vacuum away).
For under $200 – its lowest price ever on Amazon – this is an easy choice if you're looking for a vacuum cleaner upgrade.
Not exactly what you were looking for? Instead, consider one of our best cordless vacuums or the best vacuum for pet hair.
