TL;DR: If you’re short on time and looking to attain allergy-free air, the Shark Matrix UR2360S Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum is a great product. It offers precise home mapping and comes with object detection and avoidance features. Grab it now for just $139.97 (reg. $349.99).

As someone working while studying for a master’s, getting sick is not an option. Unfortunately, it’s also flu season where I’m based and this weekend they finally got me. Now, I also have a pretty bad dust allergy, so maybe it was delusional hope, but while struggling to sleep I began looking for a new vacuum cleaner (just in case), which is when I entered the Shark Matrix rabbit hole.

Shark Matrix UR2360S Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum

Shark Matrix has a few great models for allergies, and I found a few with HEPA filtration systems and pet-friendly self-cleaning brushrolls. But as someone chronically short on time, the UR2360S Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum is the perfect one for me. It also didn’t hurt to learn that this model is currently just $139.97 (reg. $349.99).

As for the cleaning, its Matrix Clean system follows a precise grid pattern (with multiple passes) to ensure wall-to-wall coverage on both carpet and hardwood floors, while CleanEdge Detect blows air into corners to pull the dirt out. All the dirt then goes into the HEPA-equipped self-emptying base—which is designed to trap 99.97% of dust and allergens (down to 0.3 microns)—and holds it for up to 30 days.

Refurbs are the best way to get solid gear

Now, I’m still getting sicker so flu season won, but I still think this is a great product. As someone always in a rush I was sold when I learnt that it uses LIDAR vision to map your home so it can dodge past furniture and other items. But now as someone unable to leave bed, it has its other draws for sure.

There are plenty of other vacuum cleaners that work well for allergies, but their price points can get a bit crazy. That’s why refurbished items are a smart choice: they’ve been professionally inspected, repaired, and tested.

These items are often just as reliable, with the added benefits of being more affordable and environmentally friendly. Additionally, this one has an A grade, meaning it’ll come to you in near-mint condition.

With better health and less physical cleaning on the horizon, why not try it out yourself? Grab your refurbished Shark Matrix UR2360S Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum for just $139.97.
