What's the lowest price recorded for the Shark AZ3002?

$264.99, on Oct 7, 2026 and Oct 28, 2026. That's from 4 dated prices we've recorded between Apr 5, 2026 and Oct 28, 2026.

The lesson

This is the normal sale price, not a standout. The Stratos upright has been about $265 at Shark and other stores all month, and $279.99 at Target in early October. It did drop to $239.99 with a coupon back in March, so it has been cheaper. It's a strong pick for pet hair, with a self-cleaning brushroll and a lift-away canister. Ignore the $529.99 'was' price, and wait for Black Friday if you can.
