My new favorite vacuum empties itself — and it’s 33% off on Amazon

Surprise! Cleaning your floors is necessary.

It has historically involved wrestling a heavy machine out of a closet, dragging it around furniture, and then performing the deeply undignified act of emptying a dust bin that inevitably puffs a small cloud of debris in your face and back into the air.

Cordless vacuums solved part of the problem. Suddenly, cleaning the kitchen took 30 seconds instead of an hour. But the one thing they didn’t solve was the most unpleasant step of all: the emptying. You still had to pop open the canister and confront whatever had been living on your floors.

Which is why the Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum has become my new favorite appliance in my house. It doesn’t just vacuum; it does it extremely well. Then, it handles the worst part for you. Once you’re done, simply dock the vac and observe it empty itself into its canister/-charger.

And right now it’s 33% off on Amazon, which makes the upgrade 100% justified in my mind. Trust me, I’ve been testing it for a month and forgot all about my Dyson, LG and even my former favorite Miele.

The Shark Clean & Empty Cordless Stick Vacuum is designed around one very simple idea: once you’re done cleaning, you shouldn’t have to deal with the debris. The lightweight cordless stick vacuum docks into a base that automatically empties the dustbin into a sealed bag, trapping dust, pet hair and allergens so you don’t have to handle them directly.

It features strong suction for carpets and hard floors, a removable handheld unit for stairs and upholstery, LED headlights that reveal debris you didn’t know existed, and a self-cleaning brushroll engineered to prevent hair wrap. The auto-empty base can hold weeks of dirt before needing replacement, turning quick daily cleanups into a genuinely low-maintenance routine.
