Shark Vacuum Cleaners

Shark is one of the most popular vacuum brands in the U.S., and it’s easy to see why. The brand built its rep by offering affordable, feature-rich vacuums that often punch above their price class. Shark focuses heavily on cordless sticks and upright vacuums, with a strong lean toward convenience-first innovation—think self-cleaning brush rolls, Lift-Away® tech, DuoClean® rollers, and pet-friendly designs. While it doesn’t quite reach the raw power or engineering finesse of brands like Miele or Dyson, Shark thrives in that sweet spot of performance + value + usability.

Prolux Vacuum Cleaners

Prolux doesn’t play in the mainstream vacuum scene—it builds machines for users who want commercial-grade durability in a home setting. Think heavy-duty motors, metal components, large-capacity designs, and a focus on raw suction over bells and whistles. This brand is especially known for its bagged upright and canister vacuums, and its models often feel more like shop tools than lifestyle gadgets. If you care more about longevity and cleaning power than smart features or slick design, Prolux is built for you.
