Late to the holiday shopping this year? Don’t worry, there’s still time to treat yourself to a present and have it arrive by Christmas. And if you’ve been waiting to splurge on a new vacuum to start the new year on a fresh note, now is the time to get your wallet ready.

Shark’s AI Ultra Robot Self Vacuum provides a complete hands-free cleaning experience, and it’s currently 49 percent off at Amazon. The robot vacuum eliminates dirt, dust, and debris from hardwood floors and carpet, and it comes with several smart features to ensure your home is spotless whether you’re there or on the go. It’s no wonder shoppers say it’s the best robot vacuum they’ve had and that it saves them “so much time.”

Shark AI Ultra Robot Self-Empty XL Vacuum

Not only is the robot vacuum a huge timer-saver, but it also provides a deeper clean with its built-in silicone fins. The non-traditional rolls also directly target hair, and prevent it from wrapping around the fins, making them perfect for homes with pets. One shopper with a shedding dog called the vacuum a “must have for pet owners.” Further saying, "From leftover dog treats to mounds of dog hair, this vacuum picks up everything.”

As a smart device, you can also pair the Shark robot vacuum to your smartphone, Amazon Alexa, or Google Home device to start cleaning. Choose to set a routine schedule, manually press go to quickly start up, or use voice command to begin at any time. You can also be assured that your vacuum will be safe as it cleans your home. It features surrounding sensors to avoid running into furniture or falling off any stairs or ledges. And for a thorough clean, it goes over the same space several times to ensure every area is spotless.

Once your routine is completed, the vacuum will empty itself into its dock once it’s finished, so you don’t have to worry about emptying it for 30 days. The dock base also has a HEPA filter that traps up to 99.97 percent of allergens and other particles inside as it empties itself. Once the vacuum empties its tank, it can resume cleaning where it left off for up to 120 minutes before needing to charge.

With over 4,000 five-star reviews, reviewers love the convenience of vacuuming hands-free and how it can tackle tough cleaning jobs. One shopper with four kids and pets wrote, “This little gadget makes my life so much easier.” They use it twice a day and said it works great on several kinds of flooring.

Another shopper wrote, “This thing has truly changed my life! I have a golden retriever puppy that sheds everywhere, and this thing picks up a rabbit's worth of hair each time it sweeps the house.” The shopper later added, "my house always feels so much cleaner when it’s finished.”

One final reviewer wrote, “I have a high traffic household that is hardwood, tile, and throw rugs. This thing really won me over, my floors are spotless everytime I come home. I highly recommend it. No more vacuuming!”
