Mapping was extremely well done. Precise cleaning and the empty feature is great. Couldn’t be more pleased!

fills up the little vac. without emptying. so much over filling that it does not empty when it goes to the docking station. waste of time having to open and pick out the stuff then reset. took 6 tries to get it to map the house. but not self emptying when full was the biggest problem. waste of money. and amazon does not help with returns. just loops you around and around saying contact amazon. amazon said contact seller. then they walk you through it then it says contact amazon.. and around and around you go… STAY AWAY from both AMAZON AND THIS ITEM

I had seen the original robot vacuums, the ones that randomly bounced around, and never really cleaned well. I didn’t realize how much better they had been. But, I saw this amazing deal on Black Friday and figured I would try it out, finally. I plugged it in a the app said it needed to map my house. I didn’t think much, but I assumed like the old style I would have to help get it “unstuck” and “unlost” over and over again. I pressed start and forgot about it. Later I see the vacuum on the base/charger and assume it never started, I open the app to start the mapping and I am greeted by a literally perfect map of the first floor of my house. I put the room dividers in manually, in 2 minutes, and it was mapped. I set the edge of the stairs to my basement as “no-go” zone, because I was scared it would fall down, and it never has. So, I was pleasantly pleased. Then, the next day I opened the bin expecting to see some hair and dust, and I was greeted by a densely packed bin of dusty cat hair, enough to build a medium sized cat completely out of hair. I was shocked and disgusted at the same time. I showed my wife and she couldn’t believe it. The cleaning ladies were not here too long ago. So, two days later it ran again and I checked again, and found a lightly packed bin of dusty cat hair, enough to build a kitten. And each time it runs I find a small kitten worth of hair, which my cats shed between runs. I think of all the dust and hair I am not sucking up while breathing, and I smile, loving the vacuum even more.
So, I have a second floor, I loved it so much I bought a second one for the upstairs. I had a similar experience mapping and running the upstairs vacuum.
Cons: The cons are gripes in my setup, not with the product. My house is quite big, and the vacuum downstairs has to recharge before it finishes the last room. My wife and I work from home. I have it start at 6am so it doesn’t wake anyone up, but it’s not running in the middle of the night. But, by the time it finishes and recharges we are working and sometimes on zoom calls, and it will startup again to run the last room. I just have to tell the app to return to base, or click the pause button on the vacuum, and problem solved. The other “issue” was the other night at 4am I woke up to the upstairs vacuum going in my bedroom. I was really confused and shocked, turns out via the app that it was “manually activated” and I can only assume by a cat sitting on/walking on the buttons. It would be nice if it could be disabled from running via manual activation, or during set hours, to prevent this. But, it is not a con, really, just a funny/stupid story of my experience of a product that I truly love.
I have become an unofficial spokesman for Shark. I hadn’t even known they did robot vacuums before I got mine. If I hadn’t seen the amazingly cheap black friday sale I never would have bought it, and I would be missing out. Today I am considering getting a third for my basement. But, really, I just love it so much I want to buy the newest one, and see how much better it does.
If you are on the fence, seriously, just buy it. I have never regretted it. My wife was so pissed when I first got it, she had one of the original bouncing random ones, and assumed this would be similar. She has told me over and over how wrong she was, and how great this is. That makes it worth getting alone. But, I was having bad allergies before I got this, and since then they are all basically gone. Not even the sniffles since then.
I love this shark. The bad reviews for the mapping must have been old software. I have a large and complex floorpan with lots of furniture, cat toys, chairs, etc. I never pre-clean or changed my habits. Once it got a cat toy stuck in the roller that I popped out and removed. Once it got a string wrapped in there, same. That is it. I run it 3x/week, and have had it for months. It is amazing. The people that said it is loud must have a bad unit. It is like 10% the sound of my Dyson vacuum, maybe less. The people that said it doesn’t vacuum well, must have a bad unit. Mine beats my full-sized Dyson in what it picks up. My house looks perfectly clean and that Shark will pick up a dusty cat worth of hair from each floor.
Basically, I ran it once and it mapped my house perfectly. I set it to run 3x/week and other than emptying the bagless bin into the trash, I never think about it. My upstairs unit got stuck over the edge of the stairs once, one wheel went over and it asked for help. I set a “no-go” area virtually with the app, and it hasn’t had an issue since. Other than sucking up a toy mouse and string once, that is the extent of my issues for two Shark vacuums. They have taken so many pounds of cat hair and dust out of my house it is horrifying. I love these things. I don’t know if other brands are difference, better or worse. I just know this Shark is amazing. The Lidar mapping is spot on. Works in light and dark, except for really low things it never comes into contact with chairs, or walls. It doesn’t scratch things like the ones that bump into stuff. It just does its job, perfectly, every time. I couldn’t give a serious CON on this product if I wanted to. I would rate it better than 5/5, it is THAT good.

I knew nothing about these robots when my kids bought me one for Christmas. As I started doing some online research to program it, I finally realized that the model I had did not have some features I’d read about, like programming it to name rooms and set “no go” zones, thus being able to clean only areas I wanted to clean. So I found this model which does all that, also has the laser feature to better create an accurate map of your home. So I ordered this one refurbished and added a extended warranty, which was about the same cost as the first model that I returned.
I’m SO glad I did, as I LOVE this robot vacuum! It’s so smart, so fast and does an amazing job! Only thing I have to do is occasionally sweep out a corner or area that it can’t get to. I love how it goes back home to empty itself or recharge before going out to finish the job. The app on my phone keeps me informed, alerts if it’s gotten stuck anywhere or something jammed, so I can go fix it. Once it got stuck and I had no idea where it was, so I used the “find” feature and it made a ringing sound that I could eventually follow to under my bed! How cool is that??? You won’t regret buying this robot. I’m 75 and have health problems and vacuuming the entire house was a real ordeal for me. Now I can sit on my couch, watch TV, talk on the phone, etc. while I vacuum the house! Nice!

The vacuum was easy to set up and the self emptying is a great feature. Cleans ver well.

It transfers from hardwood floor to carpet easily and it also transitions from rooms that have a transition strip or are a little lower or higher easily – like it has 4 wheel drive! The suction is good, it actually pulls hair and dust from corners, which is great because it doesn’t get right up against furniture. Of course, you’ll still have to do a deep clean the area with a regular vacuum some, because it can’t get behind things that are up against the wall or are usually in the area (like a laundry hamper, dog bowls, TV tray stand, dog beds, etc). If it gets offline, then it starts to act up and will get stuck in areas and the battery will die before it goes back to its charging station, so make sure you have internet to keep it online. The auto dump station is amazing! We have 2 dogs and 2 cats that shed like crazy and a rather large house and we only dump the hair and dirt from the station about once every couple week’s, and it’s still not usually full! The high power setting is kind of loud, but not intolerable, you can still watch tv with it going. I do wish that this one had the ability to detect animal messes. We haven’t had to deal with it getting into animal poop or pee yet, but I’ve read that it does not detect it unless it’s over 4″ high. It does do good with maneuvering around other things, like dog toys and stuff left in the area it is set to clean. It also moves back and forth in lines, instead of bouncing all over the place…this leaves the carpet looking really nice and helps you to know it got every area and didn’t just blow stuff around. The air vent is on top, not the side, so it doesn’t blow dust around as it’s working. Being able to view where it’s vacuumed is really cool and you can make it do a special clean in a certain area, if needed, instead of cleaning the whole house again.
