Cleaning is a pain, but fortunately, living in the golden age of frivolous technology as we all are, we can get little robots that can help with some tasks — mostly just sweeping and mopping, but hey, help is help. They're usually pretty big investments, but today, Woot's got a couple of refurbished models from Shark starting at just 90 bucks.
Clean all that pollen off your floors with $200 off an Ecovac vacuum and mop
Or grab a refurbished Shark IQ vac for even less
Summer is just around the corner — believe me, I'm sweating as I type this — and the last thing any of us want to do on a hot day is clean. If you're looking to spend the next months napping in a hammock rather than sweeping up pollen around your house, a robot vacuum is just what the doctor ordered. Today, you can pick between two high-end vacuums well below their usual prices, complete with obstacle detection, auto-empty bases, and even mopping.If you're after an advanced auto-cleaning experience, the Ecovacs Deebot T8+ is the choice for you. Not only can it map out your entire household to ensure that it avoids colliding with your furniture, but it also supports virtual boundaries to prevent it from wandering into a dangerous room. It's capable of cleaning up to 3200 sq. ft. on a single charge, and once it's finished, all of the dirt and dust is automatically disposed of within the base. That makes for a great vacuum in its own right, but it can also mop your floors for a spotless experience. It's usually $750, but you can save $200 with Best Buy's daily deal.
Robot vacuums are already pretty great, but self-emptying models go one step further by removing the need to constantly empty the vacuum's built-in dust bin. The Shark IQ RV1001AE is one popular model that can charge itself and empty its own dust, and now you can get a refurbished model for just $269.99. By comparison, buying the same vacuum new from Amazon would cost you 9 right now.The Shark IQ has most of the features you would expect in a high-end robot vacuum: floor mapping, scheduled cleanings, a self-cleaning brushroll that should keep pet/long hair from clogging, and a high-efficiency filter. It automatically returns to its charging station when the battery is low, and while it's charging, the station empties the dust bin into a larger container. Shark says the larger container holds "up to 30 days of dirt and debris."
