Summer should be a care-free time without a mountain of chores to get done every weekend. You should be lounging the backyard, hanging out at the park, or cooling off the air con at the movie theatre. If cleaning the floors has ever gotten in the way of your daily enjoyment, there's a great solution at Amazon today, and it's at an exceptionally low price.

As of June 18, the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum with self-empty base is just $299.99 at Amazon, down from the usual price of $599. That's a 50% discount or a savings of $299.01.

If you've been holding off on buying a robot vacuum for fear that it'll just be something else to take care of, the time has come to press "buy." The world of robot vacuums has improved tremendously since the early days of cliffhangers on the stairs and getting lost under the bed. The Shark AI Ultra uses precise mapping thanks to the 360-degree LiDAR vision which creates a detailed map of your home the first time you power up the robot. It also comes with Shark's Matrix Clean Navigation which uses a grid patterns to take several trips over troublesome spots, rather than the usual once-over, to ensure the floor gets clean.

The included base serves as the robot vacuums charging station, but it's also a self-emptying dock, storing up to 60 days of debris. Rather than storing dirt and dust in the robot itself, it empties into the dock which will only require your attention about once every 60 days for a quick empty.

Shark mentions this model is especially great for homes with pets since it uses a self-cleaning brush roll and a HEPA filtration system.

To send the robot vacuum on its way, you can use voice control or manage the vacuum through the Shark app. You can also set a cleaning schedule, adding to the convenience of forgetting floor cleaning was ever a chore you had to take care of.

If you're hoping for more free time this summer, offload the floor cleaning to the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum. It allows you to ignore floor cleaning for up to 60 days, and it's currently on sale for half off at Amazon. Both seem like incredibly smart moves to start off summer right.
