Between pets, dust and every day wear, it’s hard to keep any floor clean. Luckly, thanks to many smart home advances, we’ve got robot vacuums to lend a hand. With Amazon Prime Day around the corner — July 16 and 17 to be precise — Amazon is already dropping some early Prime Day deals. Among them is this dramatic price cut on one of our favorite smart vacuums, the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum from $599 to just $295 on Amazon. That’s a significant 51% discount for the self-emptying device, bringing it down by $304, the cheapest price we’ve ever seen.
The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum includes voice command, a 60-day capacity, object detection, lidar precision home mapping and 360-degree sensors. It also has HEPA filtration, which captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens. It’s suitable for carpets or hard floor surfaces. It also has a featured called Matrix Clean Navigation so that the robot vacuum will make multiple passes in a grid to make sure no spot is left behind.

When the vacuum runs low it returns to the doc for a recharge and then will pick up where it’s left off. You can also set schedules so that it cleans automatically when it’s most convenient for you. Plus, you can initiate on-demand cleaning, including targeted deep cleaning of high-traffic areas whenever you need to, and you can do it all with voice control using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
Because the included XL self-emptying base holds up to 60 days of dirt, dust and debris, you will only need to empty it every two months on average, taking a little bit more off your plate.
Don’t wait too long to snag this deal, it’s one of the best prices we’ve seen. Right now there are plenty of other great early Prime Day deals, too, including deals on TVs, soundbar deals, and laptop sales. We’ve also rounded up savings at some of Amazon’s biggest competitors who are dropping prices to compete with the Prime Day deals, like Walmart’s anti-prime day sales and deals at Target.
