Tired of your ugly robot vacuum cleaner? Shark has a solution – design robovacs in smart colors that blend in with your decor instead of standing out

• Shark has launched a new Luxe Collection of robotic and cordless vacuum cleaners
• The range features muted colours, satin finishes and metallic accents
• It was designed in collaboration with designer and TV personality Jeremiah Brent

Robovacs are perfect for keeping your home tidy between deep cleans, but they aren’t very attractive. Even the best robot vacuum is usually a piece of black or white plastic that sits in a matching dock, and is something you’d probably prefer to hide away if possible—some owners even build miniature garages to keep their bots out of sight. Now Shark has come to the rescue with a robot vacuum cleaner that looks more like art than an appliance.

The company has teamed up with interior designer Jeremiah Brent of design studio AD100, who you may remember as the interior design expert in seasons 9 and 10 of Queer Eye. He has used his expertise to help develop a new version of the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal 2-In-1 Vac & Mop that looks much more appealing than the original while cleaning just as well.

We awarded the PowerDetect UV Reveal 2-In-1 Vac & Mop four stars out of five in our review, and were particularly impressed with its obstacle avoidance, edge cleaning with extended mop pads and its ability to lift itself over thresholds. It’s not much to look at, though, which is unfortunate for such an eye-catching device.

Now, however, the same vacuum is available in four subtle new colors – Evergreen, Ivory, Espresso and Deep Harbor (navy) – all of which feature coordinating satin-finish metallic trim.
