Available for the higher price of £399.99, down from £499.99 on Shark's own site, or for £337.50 on Amazon, this Shark robot vacuum and mop is now up for grabs for £250, down from £400 at Argos while this sale lasts.

Maura's Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum and Mop combines suction power, sonic mopping, and self-emptying for a complete clean from start to finish. It ensures your floors are thoroughly cleaned without you needing to lift a finger.

Touted as a powerful whole-home vacuum on carpets and floors that empties its own dustbin, this handy robot also boasts sonic mopping for hard floors at the same time. No cleaning detail is missed, as this robot also promises corner and edge cleaning, a self-cleaning brush-roll for pet hair, and a bagless base with Anti-Allergen Complete seal.

With Matrix Clean, the robotic vacuum cleans in a precision matrix grid for optimum coverage, taking multiple passes over dirt and debris to ensure there's no dust left behind. Plus, the Sonic Mopping scrubs hard floors 100x per minute. For extra deep cleaning, initiate Matrix Mop to focus mopping on targeted zones. This device is perfect to use on all sealed hard floors, including wood, tile and laminate.

A key feature that makes this robot a must-have for busy households is its bagless base, which holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris. It doesn’t require any additional purchase of disposal bags, and with the Recharge & Resume feature, the robot returns to its base, recharges, and can pick up where it left off without you needing to be nearby. This little gadget comes armed with an impressive battery life that promises up to 110 minutes of run-time from just one charge.

Thanks to its programmable settings and mapping features, as well as the device's app, you can set this robot to clean whenever you fancy, without needing to be in the house or to lift a finger.

One shopper who joins Maura in her love for this Shark gadget raves: "I love my little robot doing the housework for me! Such a help with busy family life. I agree with other comments however that it would be good to just hoover on occasions- my floor has never been so clean but needs a hover daily and a mop once or twice a week. I hadn't realised it was both together only."

And another buyer beams: "Highly recommend this robot vacuum, I was a bit sceptical about it but it cleans so well & it’s well worth the investment. It was very easy to setup and the app works well. Mapped the floors quickly and it’s really handy that it empties itself."

And a third chimes in: "I haven’t mapped it yet properly as we have builders in but the cleans it has done upstairs are phenomenal. It gets into corners brilliantly and is fantastic if you have pets. My floors have never been so clean and free of pet hair. It’s a great investment, particularly for me, as I have mobility and other health issues, which make it difficult for me to use/carry a normal vacuum. It was missing a mop pad when it arrived and I emailed customer services and received the missing pad within 5 days, great customer service."

Though one customer does comment on its mapping abilities, writing: "Easier to set up than expected, does a great job and leaves the house in a good state to return to, even with a long haired dog and 2 kids! Its mapping isn't the best, but the for an every day clean it seems to be great."

If you're looking for a slightly cheaper alternative, Amazon offers this MONSGA 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop for £149.
