Shark AI robot vacuum cleaner and mop combo on Amazon. That’s a whopping 52 percent off, which knocks nearly $250 off the price. It looks like one of those deals that ends while supplies last, so you might want to act fast instead of putting it on your wishlist.

This is version one . The only difference between this robovac and the top ranked one is that this edition doesn’t come with a self-emptying base. But so is this model .
If you can get over the lack of a base, the Shark AI vacuum cleaner is a fantastic cleaning partner. It ticks all the boxes. The suction power is fantastic, obstacle avoidance is on point and it works with voice assistants like Alexa. It’s also a great mop that cleans hard surfaces at 100 strokes per minute.
We also used a mobile app that easily creates accurate maps of your location. The app can also be used to control the vacuum when you’re away, so you can return from work to find a freshly cleaned living space. You can even set “no-go” zones to prevent the robot from mopping the carpet. The best robot vacuums are the ones that do their job without requiring constant supervision, and this slime robovac can consistently get out of tight spaces to keep cleaning. The AI in the name hints at avoiding obstacles.
Apart from the lack of a base, there is only one big downside. This robovac/mop hybrid can get pretty loud while vacuuming, so you might want to reschedule that book club meeting. Other than that, it’s pretty much the perfect mid-range robot vacuum cleaner.
