SAVE $50: This Prime Day, the Shark Stick Vacuum is on sale for $279.99. That's 15% off its list price of $329.99.

There may not be a wrong time to buy a new vacuum, but there certainly is a right one: it's Amazon Prime Day and it's happening now.

As of Oct. 11, the Shark Stick Vacuum is on sale for $279.99 at Amazon. While we've seen this slick vacuum at a lower price of $229.99 earlier this year, we're still drawn to this deal. At 15% off, this sale offers $50 in savings that lets you score this highly-rated vacuum for under $300.

While there's no shortage of vacuum deals on Prime Day, we're partial to the Shark Stick for its versatility and the ability to tackle the whole house. With its extended reach, it can access those lofty, oft-neglected areas of your home. At the same time, it can break down into a handheld vacuum so you can tackle furniture. (It even comes with a special upholstery tool.) With a run time of 40 minutes, it's up for a deep-clean job.

Perhaps the best thing about the Shark Stick, however, is its self-cleaning brush roll. Anyone with pets (or long hair) knows how frustrating it is when hair gets stuck and wrapped around the brush roll. Thanks to flexible, silicone fins and a unique design, that doesn't happen here. Vacuuming pet hair has never been easier!

Scoop up the Shark Stick vacuum before Prime Day ends, and you might just start looking forward to cleaning.
