If you have pets, this Shark robot vacuum is a must-have — and its $320 off


SAVE 58%: As of Sept. 26, you can get the Shark AV2501S AI Ultra Robot Vacuum on sale for $229.99, down from $549.99, at Amazon. That's a discount of 58%, or a savings of $320. It's also the lowest price we've seen on this model since November 2024!
We test a lot of robot vacuums, so it's a big deal when one really impresses us. When our tech editor, Timothy Beck Werth, reviewed the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1, he said it "put the competition to shame" and was "one of the best robot vacuums we've tested." While this deal is for the vacuum-only model in the same AI Ultra lineup, it shares many of the same smart features that he loved — and right now, it's on sale during what Amazon is calling a "trending Prime deal," if you can believe it.
That's right: Prime Day round two is right around the corner, and Amazon's already discounting tons of items, including the Shark AV2501S AI Ultra Robot Vacuum. You can currently get it for $229.99, down from $549.99. That's a $320 price cut and the lowest we've seen it go for since last November.
The standout feature here is what Shark calls "Matrix Clean Navigation," which forces the vacuum to clean in a precise grid, making multiple passes over dirtier areas to ensure a deep clean. Combined with its 360-degree LiDAR vision, it can accurately map your home and avoid objects, so you don't have to tidy up before you tidy up.
It's also a great option for pet owners. The powerful suction is designed to pick up pet hair from all floor types, and the self-emptying base makes this hands-free cleaning even easier. When it's done cleaning, it returns to its base and automatically empties everything into a bagless bin that can hold up to 30 days of debris.
