I really love the connected app, which lets me adjust settings like fan speed and modes from afar and check filter life. Plus, the app sends notifications when air quality is poor and updates when it reaches clean levels again. You can also see historical indoor air quality levels and the corresponding action the purifier took, which helps track patterns. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant for voice control. —Molly HigginsPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellPhotograph: Nena FarrellChevronChevronSave to wishlistSave to wishlistSharkPowerDetect Cordless Stick Vacuum$450 $350 (22% off) Amazon$549 Amazon (With Base Station)$350 SharkNinjaOne of the best cordless stick vacuums you can buy is available in a few different configurations, and one of those options is on sale.
