A powerful, affordable vacuum is one of the most essential tools in your household, but sometimes it can seem like a contradiction. Can you really achieve the kind of suction that would practically pull your socks off your feet without feeling like it’s also siphoning the money right out of your wallet? And is it at all possible with a cordless vacuum?

Designer vacuums cost an arm and a leg, but today, Amazon is practically giving one away. Okay, the Shark IZ363HT Anti-Allergen Pet Power cordless vacuum is not actually a designer vac but it performs just like one, and it's specifically engineered to make pet hair disappear without creating a tangled mess in the brush roll. This force of nature is normally $330, but today only, it’s $100 off!

For one, the Shark Pet Power vacuum is cordless and lightweight, so no doing acrobatics with your vacuum cord while you try to get your floors clean. A self-cleaning brush roll is powerful enough to pick up pet hair (and regular hair) without jamming up your vac or forcing you to pull wads of fur out manually. "Truly tangle free," as one shopper described it. "To my surprise- NOT ONE HAIR has gotten tangled in the roller after weeks of use!"

It also has serious suction power for incredible cleaning performance. This vac can run for up to 50 minutes without losing steam, while it’s PowerFins technology is constantly cleaning all your surfaces.

A nice feature: Anti-Allergen Complete Seal Technology captures and traps dust, allergens, dander and more, so it doesn’t stir up things that’ll make you sneeze.There’s even a removable precision handheld vacuum with tapered nozzle for cleaning tight spaces.

"Right now, we have four doggos...As you can imagine - we have a LOT of fur around here. I have vacuumed up tons of fur with it, and it has always had great suction, great power, and it's easy to keep it clean. I just replace the filters on it every month or two, and that's all the maintenance it needs. I can't say enough about it!" wrote a five-star fan.

"Very lightweight and super convenient to use on carpet, hardwood and stairs. Great technology that eliminates hair tangle at roller," wrote another. "Used Dyson before this and annoyed with removing tangled long hair every time. This makes my job easier. I’m happy with my purchase so far."

Just a reminder: This deal is only for today.
