As much as we love spotless floors, how many of us really love the process of cleaning them? That's why robot vacuums are so popular, and when one of our all-time favorites goes on sale, it's worth shouting about.
The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 is now available with $400 off. The price has never been lower than this, and it's an exciting opportunity to bring a high-performing robot vacuum into your home ahead of the Memorial Day sales rush.
We’ve tested 18 of the best robot vacuums and the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 is one of the best in class. If you’re looking for a reliable, fully featured floor-cleaning robot, this could very well be the answer – as long as you act fast while the deal lasts.

Why we love the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1
The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 stands out for its cleaning efficiency and user-friendly tech. Its floor sensors automatically adapt power as the robot moves from hard floors to rugs – a feature that’s particularly useful in open-plan spaces or mixed-surface homes, and one that we absolutely love in the best Dyson vacuums. It makes for one of the best multi-surface vacuums.
Our reviewer Camryn Rabideau, who has reviewed more than 50 of the best vacuums in her time as a product tester, wrote, 'I was quite impressed by its thorough mopping abilities – it was able to completely remove tough stains from hardwood floors.'
This powerful stain removal can keep your floors spotless and smelling fresh daily, especially if you live in a busy household with pets or kids.
Its navigation capabilities are equally impressive. 'It navigated around my house flawlessly, avoiding all sorts of obstacles and climbing over tall thresholds,' wrote Camryn, thanks to its LIDAR-based mapping and clear room division in the app. This threshold-crossing also avoids the common causes of why robot vacuums get stuck.
The NeverTouch base makes this model particularly low-maintenance. 'It’s fully self-sufficient, maintaining its own mopping pad and vacuum with virtually no manual intervention,' praised Camryn. All you need to do is keep your floors clear, which is perhaps the most unexpected benefit of owning a robot vacuum, as it avoids clutter building up.
The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 holds up to 60 days’ worth of debris, making it well-suited for larger homes or multi-pet households. And, compared to other premium brands – as explored in our Roomba vs Shark comparison – Shark holds its own with a feature set that’s intuitive and genuinely useful, without the $1,000+ price points from competitors such as eufy. The app offers granular control over rooms, cleaning modes, and schedules.
If you’re trying to decide how to choose a robot vacuum cleaner that will save you time, this model combines smart features with reliable day-to-day performance. With $400 off, this robot vacuum will be your home's newest and most welcome helper, without having to break the bank.

More robot vacuums to consider
If Shark's latest and greatest robot isn't quite what you're after, we've also tested these three robot vacuums that completely won us over after testing.
The eufy E20 3-in-1 solves a common issue with robot vacuums: you can make sure that nothing gets missed. It's more of a hands-on approach, but by including a detachable hand vacuum (that can be used as a full-sized cordless vacuum), you can quickly vacuum any mess that the robot leaves behind, which almost every robot does.

The Eureka J15 Pro Ultra is an excellent robot vacuum that costs less than $1,000 and, on test, it could handle almost every mess we threw at it. It has comprehensive app control, great navigation, and powerful vacuuming and mopping abilities.

In virtually every aspect, this is the best robot vacuum cleaner we've ever tested. No matter the dust, dirt, hair or stain, the robot cleaned it up quickly and effectively, and its brushroll hasn't once wrapped with hair, making it the best robot vacuum for pet hair that we've tested.
