Why we like it

The Shark AI Ultra is a legitimately great self-emptying robovac option that is currently selling for its lowest price ever. It's got powerful suction, Matrix Clean tech for a full coverage deep clean, and a self-cleaning brushroll with an anti-hair wrap that removes pet hair and deep cleans carpets. With its LiDAR vision, it can map your home quickly and navigate efficiently, getting every corner spotless. Set a cleaning schedule or ask Alexa to start a cleaning session even when you're away from home.The self-emptying base holds up to 60 days of dirt (and it's bagless, so you don't have to worry about buying replacement bags).

Best budget deal

Why we like it

At first, $299 might seem like a high price for the budget category, but if you want a self-emptying robot vacuum, then this really is an unusually low price. In fact, up until now, the Yeedi Vac Station had never dropped below $348.99. And when you consider that in addition to self-emptying, this hybrid vacuum also comes with a mopping attachment and LiDAR navigation, you can see why we're excited about this deal. Mashable reviewers have also consistently given Yeedi's hybrid vacuum and mops high marks.

Why we like it

Mashable product testers have given this self-emptying hybrid rave reviews, and it's a mighty impressive cleaning machine. Not only does it physically lift and stow its mopping pad as it approaches your area rugs and carpets, but it features a camera to proactively identify obstacles like dog doo-doo. For Prime Day 2, this self-emptier is marked down to $799 at Amazon. Sure, that's still plenty expensive, but it's still relatively affordable compared to some of the nosebleed-inducing prices listed below.
