### A Smarter Shark for Busy, Pet-Friendly Homes
The Shark AI Ultra Self-Empty Robot Vacuum is aimed squarely at people who are tired of daily floor duty—especially if you share your home with pets, kids, or a mix of carpet and hard floors. At around $300, it sits in a sweet spot: more advanced than bare-bones robot vacuums, but not as pricey as some of the flagship models from premium brands.
This model combines strong suction, an XL self-emptying base, AI-powered navigation, and home mapping. On paper, it promises 60 days of hands-off cleaning and thorough coverage with its Matrix Clean pattern. In practice, it gets impressively close to that ideal, with a few caveats you should know about before buying.
