You dont need Dyson money to tackle endless pet shedding — grab this cordless Shark pet vacuum for under $170

The Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum (IX141) is currently on sale for $169 on Amazon, a 44% discount off its original price of $299.99. This cordless cleaner is ideal for tackling pet hair and daily messes, making it a budget-friendly and efficient workhorse for households with pets.

Tim Marcin, Mashable's Associate Editor, praised this model, calling it a "game-changer" for his household. He previously struggled with heavy corded vacuums to deal with his dog's fur, but found the Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum to be both lighter and more effective. Its bristle brushroll is designed to penetrate deep into carpet fibers, removing embedded fur that standard suction heads often miss.

The vacuum is lightweight at 7.5 pounds, allowing for easy maneuverability under furniture. Additional features include front LED headlights to locate hidden dust bunnies and stray fur beneath dark furniture edges. The vacuum can operate for up to 40 minutes on a single charge in standard mode, and its main wand can detach to function as a handheld vacuum for stairs, couch cushions, or car seats.

Emptying the vacuum is a hands-free process, thanks to a push-button XL dust cup. For easy storage, the handheld unit can clip securely to the base, standing upright in a closet without the need for wall mounting. With these practical features and its discounted price, the Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum is an excellent choice for those seeking an affordable solution for daily pet hair cleanup.
