Why is the Shark vacuum a good deal?

This vacuum has 16,000 reviews and a 4-star rating. A 50% discount brings the price down from $299.99 to $149.99 — its lowest price this year, according to price-tracking data.

At $150, this model costs considerably less than other premium brands while still featuring LED headlights, powerful suction and an extra-large dust cup.

What do reviewers think? 

The LED lights are a standout. One reviewer said the lights make it nearly impossible to miss crumbs or dog hair and called the feature "a game changer."

The lightweight design is easy to grab for quick cleanups. A reviewer praised the skinny attachment and sliding brush head. "I'm able to clean couch cushions, bathroom mats, corners, counters and tables. I would buy this again if I had to." 

Another reviewer wrote: "I'm impressed with what was coming up from the carpets and mats: Small bits like cat litter and large bits of lint and hair." 

What could be better?

Despite the positive reviews, this Shark vacuum has a few drawbacks. Some reviewers said setup can be a bit complicated, even when following the directions, and that it takes some trial and error to understand. Once setup is completed, though, reviewers say it's smooth sailing.
