Title: Pretty Darn Pleased!
Review: By way of full disclosure, we are using this primarily on hardwood and tile floors. Though it did reasonably well the one little room with a medium pile carpet.We bought this in full expectation of returning it because our need is challenging and the reviews were lackluster. We specifically got one of the smallest width ones because we wanted it to do under our dining room table and the chair rear legs have a narrow gap. I take the thing out of the box and find it is still and 1/8" too wide. Argh! I figure this thing is going back. I charge it up and read the manual. It looks pretty impressive. I figure give a little try, if it doesn't impress, clean it and return it. It heads out of the dock and works over to two dining room chairs backed up against a cabinet. It fiddles around a bit and finally works into the front of the chair and then proceeds to clean under both chairs and come out. I am thinking if I flip a chair up on the table at night it will get under the table and work fine.We have two major challenges that we want to solve with this thing. First, we suffered a rain/flood/mudslide doing $94K of damage to our home. We are in a constant construction zone with mud and gravel getting tracked in. It's embarassing. I am tired of going to get a cookie at night and stepping on a sharp little rock. Second one of us is a world class quilter/knitter/spinner. We have fiber and thread everywhere! So we want it for that every night.How does it work? Some people say the robots bang into everything. Well maybe, but this one is pretty gentle about it. It does touch but gingerly. It almost knocked over a verticle standing umbrella against the wall, but it didn't. While eating dinner it bumped my toes. The side brushes softly swirled over them, it touched and moved away. I sincerely doubt this could hurt any furniture or woodwork.I don't know what the algorithm they use, but it is pretty good. It wiggles back and forth, spins and turns and goes right through gaps barely larger than it is. It moves semi-randomly. The deal is it pretty much covers the whole 800 sq ft area we are using it on three times on a charge. I did find one space with a narrow entry and getting larger turning counter clockwise can form a trap as can chairs set with a simular opening. It required a little changing of room and furniture spacing. Generally it needs an exit opening the size of a door to exit on any floor space 4 feet square or larger.I am becoming optomistic. I follow it around. It got almost everything. When it went by a storage tub that our daughter's cat food got under it flipped out about 10 pieces, I figured game over. But no, it got all but one and caught that latter on. When I asked it to go back to the dock it fiddled around cleaning as it went. Finally it hadn't sensed the base, so it stopped and spun around 360°, moved forward and did it again. Finally it got a beam on the dock and did a little wiggle step accross the floor to the base. When you hit spot clean it does a circle around the spot where it is working. It gets a 2 foot circle.As for cleaning. I would say it get 98% of the dirt and fiber. It does poorly over rough door mats and gaps in the floor. I ran for an hour and docked it so I could finish other tasks. Then I let it run a full clean. The pictures show the results. It has no problems with small rocks, probably 1/2" long or less. It gets in all the fiber. The first pictures shows you how it packed the box. The second one is after removing the fiber leaving the rocks. It does an excellent job. At this point I am sold on it.Noise is an issue for some of you. We were stunned how quiet it is. I have never heard any vacuum, hand held or otherwise, that was this quiet. We are on the phone with our daughter telling her about it and she says, "I would be afraid to frighten my cat." I said, "Can you hear it?" She said, "No." It was working three feet from the phone. We had to hold the phone right over it for her to hear. It is noisier than our Bosch dishwasher at 45 db, quieter than our refrigerator ice maker, a little loader than the HVAC system and maybe half as loud as a sewing machine. It is so quiet we are going to schedule it for 3:00 AM every night and our bedroom door stays open.It worked fine in the dark. I guess the base homing could be better. Over all it was what QA people call, delighting the customer. Way above our expectations, and at this price a bargain.After two weeks you could not pay me to live without it. Clean floors every morning! We have created some narrow areas where it got trapped. Our soon to be replaced carpet turns out is shag carpet that is very matted. It started loosening it up and got one of the spinner brushes caught in it. We keep it out of there now. Long threads do wrap around the brush roll and have to be removed every few days.

Title: Quality product at a REASONABLE price!
Review: Let me start this by saying I bought this product on my own and DID NOT receive it for free so this is an honest review from someone who actually spent the money on this product.I have an Australian Shepherd who blows his coat twice a year (aka sheds all day, everyday all day). If you donât keep up with the hair... itâs like the wild wild west with tumbleweeds just floating across my carpet and hardwood floors.I have been looking into buying a robot vacuum for a while to help with maintenance vacuuming in between vacuuming with my shark upright duo clean (which is my second shark vacuum and it is absolutely amazing). I was looking at Roombas for a very long time but was hesitant as the price was so expensive and the lesser models I thought were not going to do a good job so I was looking to spend almost $1000 for the 900 model and almost pulled the trigger. Then I came across this shark ion robot vacuum by chance when it came out a week or month or so ago I believe. I waited to see some of the reviews on here and then went ahead and purchased it and boy am I glad I did! It has been well worth the $350 I paid. I canât say Iâve ever owned a rumor but my parents have and comparing their experience and the experience as I have read through several reviews I believe that this vacuum meets up to the same standards at a reasonable price.It does a wonderful job of picking up the dog hair, I was actually surprised of how much it actually picks up. Almost as much as my Shark upright. It also doesnât really good job of picking up the find debris such as dust, dirt and sand. Also does a great job on larger debris such as dog food, leaves, grass, bark and other things that get tracked in from the bottom of shoes. I have used my upright directly after a robot cleaning just to see how much more I would get up and honestly I was surprised that it was minimal hair and debris and I mainly think it is because the vacuum canât obviously get into every, nook, crany and tight corners.I have used the app and scheduled timer and so far it works great. I love that you can start it and stop it away from home. I love that you also get alerts on exactly what is going on and what is wrong with the robot vacuum when itâs not working. The only problem Iâve had is that it was getting stuck under a shelf and I easily fixed this problem with the magnetic tape that came with this product. It bumps into the magnetic tape and keeps on doing itâs job. I like that it has a low profile clearance though so it can go under my bed and other pieces of furniture that have a higher clearance where a lot of dust and hair or not reachable with an upright vacuum. I do pick up the dogs toys and chewys to make sure it does not get stuck on them.It does take a while to find itâs charger when running out of battery but it is just a robot and it makes sure it holds enough battery so it can do so. Iâm pretty happy with the battery life. I live in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a walk in closet, decent size kitchen and living room/dining room area. It is approximatley +900 ft.² and can clean all of it in one charge.Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to any family or friends and also to you. I would like to finish this review by saying it will not replace your upright vacuum but is a wonderful tool for maintenance vacuuming especially for someone with OCD like myself. I will update this review if I have any problems in the future. Thank you Shark for another well made product at a reasonable price!

Review: It does an extremely good job of cleaning up dust and dog hair on days in between vacuuming. I would highly recommend this vacuum to everyone. It was easy to download the app on my android phone, so I don't have to reach under the table that I have it hiding under. I am amazed at how much it actually picks up. With dark floors, and 2 white dogs, it usually is hard to keep up...but the shark ion robot 750 is great!

Review: I had it for about a year. Works as it should. The rotating brush broke after several months of use. I just replaced it and it keeps on working. Works well. Runs everyday. Not too noisy. Need to remember to empty the dust bin. No complains. I gave it 4 start because of the issue with the rotating brush. Other than that great. sucks well, never falls off steps. Magnetic boundary works well. I would buy this brand again.

Review: My eldest granddaughter reports - "it is my life saver!" She has a year old GSD mix who sheds a fair bit. She times it to come on while at work. She just loves it!
