The Shark AV2501S Amazon deal has dropped the AI Ultra robot vacuum to $279.99 as of July 27, according to Amazon pricing cited in the deal. That is $270 below the $549.99 list price, a discount of roughly 49%.

A product card for the same deal lists the Shark AV2501S AI Robot Vacuum at $279.96 at Amazon, with a crossed-out $549.99 price and a $270.03 saving. Either way, the sale puts the robot vacuum just under the $280 mark.

The deal is for Shark’s AV2501S AI Ultra robot vacuum, a connected cleaner aimed at shoppers who want automated floor cleaning without jumping into the four-figure end of the robot vacuum market.

What does the Shark AV2501S AI Ultra do?

The Shark AV2501S AI Ultra is a robot vacuum that can clean floors on a schedule, run for up to 120 minutes, and return to recharge when needed, according to the deal details. Once charged again, it can pick up from where it stopped.

The model also has a self-emptying, bagless design. Shark says the base can hold up to 30 days of dirt and debris, cutting down on how often owners need to empty it by hand.

For homes with pets, the vacuum includes a self-cleaning brushroll and strong suction, according to the product details. Those features are meant to help with loose pet hair, which is often one of the main reasons shoppers move from a standard vacuum to a robot model.

How can you control the Shark AV2501S AI Ultra?

The vacuum can be scheduled for cleaning sessions, and it can also be started through voice commands using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, according to the deal information. That means users can tell the vacuum to start cleaning without manually pressing a button on the unit.

The 120-minute runtime is meant to let the robot cover a large area before it heads back to its dock. The resume feature is the useful bit for bigger spaces, since the machine is described as remembering where it left off after recharging.

How much is the Shark AV2501S AI Ultra at Amazon?

Amazon’s listed sale price in the deal is $279.99, down from $549.99. A linked product card shows $279.96, so shoppers may see a price that varies by a few cents at checkout.

  • Sale price: about $280 at Amazon
