➡️The Shortcut Skinny: a robot vac on the cheap

• 👍 The Shark ION is a solid entry-level robot vacuum

• 💸 It’s currently down to its lowest-ever price 

• 🤝 Connects to Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control

• ⚡ Can clean for up to 2 hours on a single charge

• 😐 No advanced features like mapping, object avoidance, or self-emptying 

The Shark ION robot vacuum cleaner is a basic robo cleaner that skips out on all the fancy features like mapping, self-emptying, or object detection to offer simple floor-tidying at a budget price, and right now it’s at an all-time-low price of just $139 at Walmart. 

That’s a 44% discount from its usual $249.99, making it so cheap that it almost makes you want to buy two and watch them duel (and clean) for your affection.

Like most robot vacuums, the Shark ION uses three brushes to tackle your dust bunnies: a spinning edge brush to fling things out in front of it, then two rolling brushes to usher dust, hair, and dirt into its bin. It has a bumper to tell it when it’s collided with an object, edge sensors to keep it from sailing off your stairs to its doom, and when it’s finished cleaning up, it’ll seek out its dock and automatically recharge itself. Shark says it can last up to 2 hours on a single charge.

In addition to its basic functions, this robot vacuum also has Wi-Fi and can connect with Google Assistant or Alexa, giving you the ability to command it with your voice. Without mapping capabilities, you won’t be able to ask it to do anything besides clean, pause, or recharge, but that’s still mighty convenient when you want to clean but you just can’t be bothered to walk over and press the big clean button on its top.

Pick up the Shark ION while it’s still on sale, then sit back, eat some cherries, and watch as a little ballet ensues! Only try not to choke on your snack.
