Amazon cuts 42% off the Shark Rotator Lift-Away Vacuum ahead of Prime Day

Virtually no one looks forward to cleaning their homes, especially when it involves vacuuming. The thankless job requires you to crouch down low repeatedly which takes a toll on your back, and most vacuum cleaners can be extremely heavy to push around. Thankfully, Shark manufactured the Rotator Professional Lift-Away Upright Vacuum, a lightweight, versatile, and highly maneuverable vacuum cleaner that leaves the rest of the competition in the dust.

Right now, the Shark Lift-Away Upright Vacuum is included in

Amazon’s early Prime Day sale and is being sold for only $173

. That’s an unbelievable 42% off from its normal retail price of $299.

If you’re looking for a robot vacuum, we’ve curated the best deals for iRobot Roomba models as well.

The Lift-Away vacuum features a ball-pivot head that makes maneuvering around furniture and corners easy. With just a push of a button, the Lift-Away transforms from an upright to a canister, which makes it handy in cleaning hard-to-reach areas like ceilings and tight spaces. It has an extendable hose that’s 8.4-feet long and a narrow floor nozzle with LED headlights that adds visibility to dark areas. Although corded, the Lift-Away has a 25-foot long cord that enables vacuuming of the entire house by using a centrally located outlet. And at 15.5 pounds, it is lighter than many other upright vacuums.

This vacuum has an extra-large capacity dust cup that is completely sealed. The canister houses three sets of filters that ensure optimum dust removal: A foam filter, a felt filter, and a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter that traps 99.9% of dust and allergens inside the vacuum. There are five attachments that come with the unit, each serving a specific cleaning purpose: The flexible crevice tool, the dusting brush, the premium pet power brush, the straight suction nozzle, and the wide upholstery tool.

According to a number of Amazon reviewers, the Lift-Away is not obnoxiously loud, doesn’t spew dust into the air, has excellent suction, and is pretty easy to clean. Because of these reasons, it received an excellent 4.4 out of 5 stars rating, making the Shark Rotator Lift Away Vacuum an excellent bargain at $173 on Amazon, an incredible $126 less than its original price.

Prime Day: Get this Asus laptop with a fingerprint reader for $210

With Prime Day finally upon us, it's the perfect time to pick up a business laptop if you've been eyeing one for a while. Luckily, there's a great Prime Day deal on the Asus VivoBook 14, a lightweight yet versatile laptop for work and school. You can grab one from Amazon for just $210, rather than the usual $270 it goes for, which is a nice $60 discount.

Why you should buy the ASUS VivoBook 14
The ASUS VivoBook 14 has many great productivity chops while also being very budget oriented, mostly due to the Intel Core i3-1115G4 running under the hood. While it's an entry-level CPU, it's still relatively robust and should easily handle most productivity tasks without issue. That said, it may struggle with RAM-heavy tasks, like programming or opening lots of apps and tabs, since it only comes with 4GB of RAM, which isn't much nowadays. It also means that even though it comes with Windows 11, it's running in S-mode, a pared-down version missing a few features here and there, although nothing that would impact your productivity. There are 8GB and 12GB versions you can buy, but they're considerably more expensive.

This HP Chromebook is discounted from $290 to $180 for Prime Day
The 2022 release of the HP Chromebook 14a, with apps on the screen.

Are this year's Prime Day laptop deals not that exciting for you? If you still need a new device but you're on a tight budget, you may want to look at the HP Chromebook 14a, which is available from Amazon for just $180 following a $110 discount on its original price of $290. It's not going to blow you away with its specifications, but it's a dependable device that will accompany you through each day. You're going to have to make the purchase as soon as you can if you're interested though, as we're not sure if the offer will remain available until the end of Prime Day deals.

Why you should buy the HP Chromebook 14a
Our Chromebook versus laptop comparison says Chromebooks are great for daily use, including functions like checking email, browsing social media, and typing documents. Like the best Chromebooks, these are the kinds of tasks that the HP Chromebook 14a won't have a problem dealing with. The device is powered by the Intel Celeron N4120 processor, ‎Intel UHD Graphics 600, and 4GB of RAM -- it doesn't look like much, but with Google's Chrome OS relying on web-based apps from the Google Play Store instead of installed software, it's more than enough.
