8 of the best Shark bargains in the early Black Friday sales – big deals on multi-stylers, steam cleaners, dust-busters, and more

There's $250 off this powerful Shark upright vacuum in the early Black Friday sales. That's not quite the cheapest this vacuum has ever been, but better deals are very rare, and it's still an excellent discount. In TechRadar's Shark Stratos Upright vacuum review, my tester was blown away by this model's cleaning powers, and found its design perfectly functional even if it's not the fanciest vac on the market. This deal is also available at Best Buy.

With $100 off in Shark's own early Black Friday sale, the build-your-own-bundle FlexStyle is back at its lowest-ever price. This is Shark's answer to the Dyson Airwrap – an all-in-one tool with a range of compatible attachments, including auto-wrap curl barrels, a frizz-smoother, round brush and concentrator. In my Shark FlexStyle review I was impressed with the build quality and versatility, but felt it was a little too expensive – an issue that's solved with this big price-cut. You can get the same deal on a limited-edition colorway at Amazon, but you won't get to pick your attachments.

The FlexFusion (now called the Glam) is Shark's newest multistyler, and right now there's a limited-time deal that knocks $130 off list price. It combines air styling with ceramic elements that help smooth out frizz and lock in your style, and this discount is available on bundles for a range of different hair types. This deal is also available at Best Buy.

This is the first discount I've spotted on the StainForce – a newer release from Shark. This handheld, cordless cleaner is designed to tackle the toughest stains and nastiest spillages on your furniture, without using unnecessary moisture.

The Shark IX141 is one of the simplest and cheapest vacuums in Shark's cordless vacuum range, but it looks like a capable cleaner. It's often discounted in Amazon's sales events, but this 50% price drop is especially strong. If you're in the market for a cheap vacuum, it's well worth a look. This deal is also available at Best Buy.

This powerful Shark upright vacuum is nearly half price in the run-up to Black Friday. If you're serious about suction power – perhaps you have a home with lots of carpet, high foot traffic, or shedding pets – you need a corded upright. This model can be reconfigured so you hold the bin/motor section and use a cleaner head on a flexible wand, for easy cleaning up stairs or in tight corners.

This $100-off deal is the first discount I've spotted on the Shark TurboBlade Cool+Heat. This is Shark's innovative windmill-style fan that can be adjusted any which way, but with a heater added to the middle so it can also earn its floor space during the winter months. In our Shark TurboBlade Cool+Heat review, we found it a little overpriced, but with this early Black Friday offer, it's much easier to recommend. This deal is also available at Amazon.

This steam cleaner promises to clear dried-on stains, pick up spillages, and sanitize your hard floors. That $30 price drop might not sound like much, but it's still a decent discount on this 3-in-1 cleaner.
