We write a lot about vacuums here at NBC Select, so whether it’s a robot, upright or handheld model, we have an idea of what makes a good appliance. One of our favorite robot vacuum brands is Shark, which has a great lineup of AI-powered models. Right now, Shark’s AI Ultra Robot vacuum — a self-emptying, app-controlled model with a HEPA filter — is more than 50% off on Amazon. Below, I talk more about the vacuum’s features and what makes it worth it.
Deal of the Day
This robot vacuum truly does all of the work for you: It can clean up dirt, debris, pet hair, allergens and more, thanks to its HEPA filter. It also works on a variety of floor types, including hardwood, tile, vinyl and more. To get started, you simply use the app to map out your home so the Shark robot vacuum is more familiar with its layout. This helps the vacuum memorize your space and more easily avoid stationary objects. The matrix grid cleaning formation allows it to go over the same spots and make sure it doesn’t miss any areas. With the app, you can also set the vacuum up with a cleaning schedule to have it clean at the same time every day. When it’s done cleaning, it returns to the dock and empties the debris compartment by itself.
