Bagless vacuum cleaners allow you to see when the dustbin is full and easily empty it out anytime without worrying about replacing the bag.

The Shark MessMaster is exactly that kind of wet/dry vac, and it’s currently on sale for $80 at Amazon. That’s a whopping 56% discount off its original $180 price, making it an awesome deal on a vacuum designed to take on messes you wouldn't dare touch with your everyday sweeper.
