If you’re still pushing a vacuum cleaner around the house, it might be time to finally delegate your floors to a robot. A robotic vacuum is something to get charged up about, especially one that’s so smart it can map your entire house, empty its own dustbin and self-clean its brush roll.

The Shark RV1001AE IQ Robot Self-Empty XL does all that and then some. We’d call it less of a household appliance and more of a housekeeper, actually. Just for today, you can score this amazing vac and its services for a major discount — 50% off at Amazon.

On sale for $300, this Shark vac cleans the way you want it to clean, whenever you want it to clean. Program it to tackle your entire home in one fell swoop every Saturday morning or order it to clean the living room tonight and the bedrooms tomorrow. You set its schedule using either the SharkClean app, Amazon Alexa or Google Home, then sit back and let the smart disc do its thing.

The device really knows its way around. It meticulously cleans each room, one row at a time, directing itself through doorways, under furniture and over any type of flooring. Debris, pet hair, crumbs — nothing can survive the Shark’s serious suction.

"This is a game changer," said a happy customer. "It just works. I know. Amazing. A consumer product that does what its manufacturer claims it will do. But it seriously does!"

This Shark is even sophisticated enough to dig crud out of the corners of your kitchen floor, thanks to its dual edge and corner brushes. Its self-cleaning brush roll will even repel tangled-up hair. The Shark vac promises to unearth plenty of dirt and dust from deep inside your carpet’s fibers. Plus, it traps allergens inside a high-efficiency filter.

This vacuum is also fairly self-sufficient. It has a bagless base that collects up to 45 days' worth of debris and dirt, so you don't have to worry about cleaning it out after each clean.

"Empties and recharges with no issues, and heads back out when done," shared a five-star fan. "When I bring out the big vacuum on weekends, it takes half the number of passes to get everything still in the carpet compared to my previous vacuums. Highly recommend as the main house cleaner and as a pet mom."

The fact that you can control it with your voice or via a smartphone app from anywhere, near or far, is just icing on the cake. If you have to pause cleaning midway and resume, say, tomorrow, this Shark even remembers where it left off. Now, that’s smart!
