Shoppers ditch Shark and Dyson for 'powerful' Amazon vacuum with 45% off
"It's lightweight, easy to use, easy to empty and has transformed my vacuuming. It's easy to carry up and down stairs. The amount that comes off my carpets and hard floors proves it's really powerful."
An Amazon vacuum cleaner that rivals Shark and Dyson is now nearly half price. The Smoture VAC02 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has seen its price drop from £199.99 to £109.99 in a limited-time offer.
This equates to a saving of £90 or 45% off the original price, marking its lowest ever price according to price tracker camelcamelcamel. This budget-friendly model frequently appears on Amazon's best-selling vacuum cleaners list and has been awarded the sought-after Amazon's Choice badge.
It provides a more affordable alternative to devices like the Shark Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Anti Hair Wrap (£170) and boasts an impressive review score of 4.6 stars, slightly higher than Shark's 4.5. The Smoture VAC02 is said to deliver 'remarkable' suction due to its brushless 600W motor, allowing it to remove dust, pet hair and stubborn dirt from carpets, hardwood floors and furniture, reports the Express.
The vacuum comes fitted with an LED panel for easy monitoring and adjusting of its suction levels. When set to Auto mode, the suction automatically adjusts to match the floor type, increasing strength for carpets and decreasing it for hard floors.
The Smoture features a durable battery that can last up to 65 minutes on a single charge and takes between four and five hours to fully recharge. It also stands freely, enabling users to conveniently prop the vacuum cleaner upright without it toppling over, while green LED headlights illuminate hidden dirt, reports Wales Online.
Smoture's VAC02 competes with leading brands such as Hoover, which has recently reduced its HF4 Hydro Pet Cordless Vacuum Cleaner With Anti Hair Wrap by £100. Whilst pricier at £219, this variant features a 'hydro nozzle' for cleaning kitchens, bathrooms or other hard surfaces.
However, The Smoture VAC02 Cordless Vacuum Cleaner has won over Amazon customers, with 93% of buyers awarding it four or five stars.
Numerous satisfied customers have said it 'outperforms' more expensive Dyson and Shark models.
One reviewer commented: "The suction is excellent, it easily picks up dirt, pet hair, and debris from both carpets and hard floors without needing to go over the same spot. The battery life is also outstanding and I really appreciate the visible battery level indicator.
"I've owned both Dyson and Shark cordless vacuums, and this outperforms them both in terms of power and usability. It's lightweight, easy to manoeuvre, and feels well-designed."
Another customer noted: "It's lightweight, easy to use, easy to empty and has transformed my vacuuming. It's easy to carry up and down stairs. The amount that comes off my carpets and hard floors proves it's really powerful. I can't fault it in any way, and for the reasonable price, it outperforms other more expensive cleaners."
However, one purchaser gave a mixed three-star review for the Smoture vacuum, stating: "I expected it to vacuum my whole house on one charge but it only did my kitchen and lounge then packed up. It picked up well and I could see the dust and bits of crumbs because of the light on the front but I want it to do the whole house in one go, I only have a little house, I wonder if the battery is faulty."
On the other hand, another glowing review read: "Bought this as a replacement for a Shark that would no longer pick anything up. Using this is like night and day - the suction is amazing, and we ended up having to empty it four times doing one rug on the first go (we have six cats, so you can imagine the fur buildup).
"The auto feature is great as we have both carpet and hard flooring. It is not too heavy and charges quickly."
