Get up to 50 percent off Shark robot vacuums

If you’ve been itching to invest in a robot vacuum to help you clean up around the house, you’re in luck. Prime Day deals, like clockwork, have brought discounts to a bunch of our favorite robot vacuums. One of the best deals is on this Shark AI Ultra robovac, which you can grab for 49 percent off — just $280.

This is a version of one of the top picks in our best robot vacuums guide. It boasts excellent suction power and a bagless, auto-empty base that’s super convenient. Shark’s mobile app is easy to use as well, allowing you to set cleaning schedules and see the home map the robot creates so you can select specific areas and rooms to clean.

The battery life is decent, at 120 minutes per charge. Like most modern robovacs, it’ll head back to the power outlet on its own. During use, we found that the vacuum did a pretty good job at avoiding obstacles and managed to sidestep the many cat toys strewn across the floor.

The only caveat worth mentioning is that this particular model includes a debris canister that needs to be manually emptied every 30 days. There’s a version with a larger canister that’s also on sale. It’s down to $298 from $600, which is also a discount of around 50 percent.

Many other Shark products are also on sale right now. This includes other robovacs, but also standard upright designs.
