I love my Dyson, but I vouch for these Shark stick vacuums on sale for Black Friday

Shark's robot vacuums often get most of the Shark-related attention during Black Friday because they're one of the most-known Roomba alternatives. But for anyone who isn't completely sold on the idea of their floor care being automated, a cordless stick vacuum upgrade is likely on their radar this season. Shark has strong contenders there, too, two of which I tested and loved: the Shark Detect Pro on sale for 279.99 and the Shark PowerDetect on sale for 349.99 at Amazon this Black Friday. Their auto-empty docks are reason enough to consider them before defaulting to a Dyson -- and this is coming from someone whose ride or die vacuum is a Dyson. This is because the most annoying thing about my Dyson is having to manually empty it.
