The combined vacuum cleaner and mop robot Shark AI on Amazon. That’s a whopping 52 percent off, knocking nearly $250 off the price. It looks like this is 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 a version of . The only difference between this robovac and the one that took first place is that this edition doesn’t come with a self-emptying base. However, this model is too .
If you can get over the lack of a base, the Shark AI vacuum cleaner is a fantastic cleaning partner. Checks all the boxes. The suction power is fantastic, the obstacle avoidance is on point and it works with voice assistants like Alexa. It’s also a great mop, cleaning hard surfaces at 100 rubs per minute.
We also liked using the mobile app, which easily creates accurate maps of your space. The app can also be used to operate the vacuum when you’re not at home, so you can return from work to find a freshly cleaned living space. You can even set “no-go” areas for the robot to avoid so it doesn’t clean the carpet. The best robot vacuums are the ones that do their job without requiring constant supervision, and this little Robovac always manages to get out of tight spots to continue cleaning. The AI in the name refers to obstacle avoidance.
There is only one major drawback, apart from the lack of a base. This robovac/mop hybrid can get pretty loud when vacuuming, so you might want to schedule your book club meeting elsewhere. Other than that, it’s pretty much the perfect mid-range robot vacuum cleaner.
