Good Deal Shark pet cordless vacuum deal
Amazon

If you have pets, you don’t really “deep clean” once a week and call it done. You clean constantly. A cordless vacuum is the difference between letting fur tumbleweeds pile up and doing a 90-second pass that keeps your place feeling under control. Right now, this Shark Cordless Pet Plus vacuum is $179.00 for a limited time, down from $299.99 for 40% off. For anyone tired of dragging out a full-size vacuum every time the couch needs help, this is a deal that makes everyday cleaning easier.

What you’re getting

This is a cordless vacuum with LED headlights and a removable handheld unit. It comes with a crevice tool and a pet multi-tool, which is exactly what you want for the spots where pet hair actually lives: upholstery, corners, stairs, and car seats.

It’s rated for carpet and hard floors and advertises up to 40 minutes of runtime, which is typically plenty for quick whole-room passes and targeted cleanups.

Why it’s worth it

The best vacuum is the one you’ll actually use. Cordless models win because they remove the friction. No cord management, no wrestling with a bulky canister, no “I’ll do it later.” That matters even more with pets, where little messes turn into big ones if you ignore them.

The handheld mode is another big plus. That’s the feature that turns a vacuum into a pet-hair tool for couches, beds, and the car. And LED headlights sound like a gimmick until you see how much dust and fur they reveal on hard floors.

The bottom line

At $179.00, this Shark Cordless Pet Plus vacuum is an excellent limited-time deal for anyone who wants quick, convenient cleanup power for pet hair, crumbs, and everyday messes across carpets and hard floors. If your main goal is heavy-duty deep cleaning only, you may want a larger upright. But for keeping a pet household looking presentable day to day, this discount is worth grabbing.

Apple might be turning its HomeView into a security camera, and it makes perfect sense
HomeView's built-in camera might soon have a few more uses beyond FaceTime calls.
Apple HomeView feature

Apple’s recently unveiled HomeView smart display could also function as a home security camera, according to a new finding in its software. The device, which already has a built-in camera for FaceTime calls and facial recognition, could supposedly use the same hardware for motion detection, live streaming, and video recording through HomeKit Secure Video.

The feature was spotted by a Reddit user in the settings files of HomeView Software 27.2 (via TheVerge). Apple hasn’t officially announced anything about it yet, but the references suggest there are going to be a few more uses for the built-in camera.

Even the most expensive option could be a poor match.
