Title: Worth every penny
Review: This is my 3rd robot vacuum but my first Shark and I will never buy another brand ! This one is by far the best weâve ever owned . Itâs is quiet , always without fail makes its way to return to base , does a good job cleaning, we have 2 indoor cats and I have it set up with the app to vacuum daily . It will go back to base and empty itself and return to work or if it needs a charge it will go to base , charge up and then resume where it left off . . I had problems with other vacuums getting stuck in certain places but not this one . The only time it had problems is if I leave something out that can get wrapped in the wheel and then it will send an alert to my phone. One selling point for me was it was supposed to kept hair from wrapping around the brush roll and it works wonderfully, no more trying to pull or cut hair out . This vacuum is great!!

Title: Vacuums well even on thick carpet. But, APP is junk. Won't Save the Map. Very Widespread Problem.
Review: UPDATED 7.13.2022: About 4 months ago, my Shark deleted the map it made of my house. That's what it uses to efficiently clean the house and it lets you design "No Vaccuum Zones" such as under your table where it gets lost for hours trying to navigate chair legs, or where that rug is that is really plush and prevents the robot from getting up onto it. Anyway, I've remapped and re-set up my rooms and no-go zones multiple times only for the app to delete them again. I've read online that it's a very common problem, but good luck getting anyone in Support to look at it.Without this functionality, it's just another dumb robot. Don't waste your time buying it for the "Mapping" functionality._________________________________________________________________________I've been rocking at Roombak 699 for many years. Three batteries, countless brushes, and a new dustbin lever later, and I knew it was time for an upgrade.I purchased this Shark unit, not really knowing what to expect. I should have done this a long time ago.Let's start with the obvious:- The Shark unit has a predictable cleaning pattern. Once it has run several times, it'll create a decent map of your house. You'll want to go in and create "rooms" or "zones" so you can tell it where you want it to clean (or don't). You can also create "no go zones" without having to stick those infrared, battery powered units all over the place. Once this is all set up, this unit will clean your house--taking as long as it takes. For my house, that usually means going back to the home unit to dump its collector a couple of times. Every now and then, it needs to recharge. Roomba didn't do that. It would zig and zag back and forth until it ultimately just lost charge and maybe it cleaned everything, but probably not.- My Roomba was really loud. So loud, you couldnt' work or watch TV or carry on a conversation with it running. My kids even asked me not to run it at night because it woke them up (and it was downstairs and they were upstairs). The Shark unit is at least half as quiet so we don't mind running it when we're all here working or just putzing around.- How well does it clean? Maybe not as well, but that is made up for by the fact that it can climb over rugs and clean the entire house in one day versus maybe it takes 2-3 days with the Roomba and it gets stuck on half a dozen things, including "cliffs" that aren't cliffs.We have a mix of hard floors and fairly thick-pile carpet.If you're wondering if it's worth saving a few hundred dollars on a Shark and "trying it out," you should go for it. I'm glad I did.

Title: Best one so far! Hard to clean though.
Review: Edit: Shark found a chunk of puppy poo and scooped it up so efficiently that I had a hard time finding the spot it came from. However. Shark was EXTREMELY difficult to clean. My old Roomba had parts that popped right out, easily cleaned and sent back on the road. I spent a better part of 20 minutes with a scrub brush trying to clean the Shark out. I can't take out the roller without a tiny screwdriver. The wheels have divots in them for traction, and guess where all the poo was? Instead of having a smooth underside where the dust bin comes out, it is grooved for no apparent reason. Had to take a point off because being able to clean it is important.I only got this yesterday, set it up, and charged it. When it reached 50%, it went out and did a mapping run. The rooms and dimensions were clearly visible on the app. This morning, I set it to start out at 8 am, and it did. The app said it would take about 80 minutes to clean the portions of my house available to it. It did a formidable job of getting rid of all the pet hair. I have four dogs and my daughters have between them 5 cats that shed like snow storms, all the time. There were balls of hair in every corner of the house. Shark got almost every one of them, and it had been several days since we have had a vacuum.I had a Roomba for about 3 years, and it did okay, but you couldn't get it to do any discernable pattern, it just kind of wandered around, docked itself to charge back up, wandered around some more, all day long. It was loud and annoying. It died death by poop.I ordered a no brand name vacuum and mop combo that got decent reviews. This had no app, it came with a remote control. You could program it to perform patterns, but it was woefully under powered, and I had to send it back,The Shark is quiet, the app is user friendly, and - at least the first day - it did a really decent job. It follows a pattern, which you can set, and it got up all the dirt lying around. We have wood floors only, no carpets, so I don't know how well it works on those. It has a "mega clean" feature that I haven't used yet. I have it set to run every day. If things change, I will update the review.

Review: I have a health condition that prevents me from vacuuming as often as I should to keep up with three shedding dogs. Years ago, I purchased a robotic vacuum but it couldnât keep up with the fur balls and dust bunnies that were taking over the house. Plus, emptying the dust bin and untangling the roller were tedious and time consuming. Well, my life has been changed by my Shark IQ robot vacuum with its self emptying bin. It really has impacted our household favourably and lifts my spirits when ever I see him doing his job. I have named it âPierreâ and he quietly moves through the house doing a wonderful job. My sister-in-law purchased a unit after seeing Pierre in action. This is a fantastic robot vacuum...Pierre, I love you.

Review: Sold to the uk, but with a us plug and suitable for 120v 60hz. So totally useless. And now theyâre refusing to return it. Advert says 240vac and the questions say itâs a uk plug. But itâs just a plain lie. Not clear whether Iâll get my £750 back. Totally disgusting

Review: I am SO impressed with this little robo vacuum! I did a lot of research before purchasing as we have a dog who sheds a lot, and this truly does live up to the reviews. We have carpeted floor and it's able to pull a lot of the hair out of the carpet. If you run it once a day or every other day with a shedding dog, you will be in good shape.It mapped our entire floor perfectly in the first run. I was blown away. The technology has come so far! The app is clean and intuitive. It also makes setting up the Shark very easy. After it is finished mapping, you can add labels to each room, and schedule it to run at certain times, and in the rooms that you choose. If it gets full while it's doing the cleaning session, it will find its way back to the docking station, empty the dust and dirt, and then go back to wherever it left off. The only downside is that it can only map one floor in your house. If you're in a two story house, you can still use it on other floors by moving it to the floor you want to clean, and pressing the "clean" button on top of the vacuum, but you won't be able to do this from the app.It is fairly quiet, and has a low profile. It's able to sneak under beds and tight to reach places very well. Battery life seems great and no concerns there. The docking station is small enough that it isn't an eyesore. It comes with a nice little mat that the robot drives onto. When the robot docks itself, empties into the docking reservoir after a few seconds. This part is fairly loud, but only lasts a few seconds.For the money, you truly can't beat this powerful little robot!

Review: Delivery quick. This thing takes time to learn. Give it several days to get your layout. It does some silly things like go from one room to another for no apparent reason. Maybe to check or something or if it missed a spot. My floors are clean and seems to do OK on the bedroom carpet. Cat hair 🙁 Pretty easy to clean. Although, Filters and such will need to be cleaned and you will need a screwdriver long enough for some areas to remove screws to remove filters. Overall the system is not bad and could use some app work and maybe a better sensor system so it does not try and run up onto certain furniture. It does what I need it too and that's what matters. Time will tell how it holds up. So far so good 🙂
Customers say
Customers like that the vacuum cleaner picks up dog hair. However, they dislike its battery life and disagree on its cleaning power, functionality, value for money, map accuracy, ease of setup, and noise level.
