1. Mary Verified Buyer – 5 September 2024

   I wish I had this little guy when I was working full time and raising children. I spend a few minutes in each room picking up and clearing the way as much as possible. It’s well worth it because it does a very thorough job. I only have hard wood floors and rugs, no carpets, but it moves seamlessly between floor and rugs. I pick up the very thin carpets in the bathrooms and kitchen. In any corners left (it’s not perfect but it’s very, very good), I just use a swiffer duster and a hand-held portable vac and we’re done. I love it! I purchased two reels of the magnetic strips and very pleased. I don’t use the wi-fi or the app because it only uses 2.4G and I only have 5G. But I don’t miss it. I just seal off an area with the magnetic tape and let it run in one room at a time. You don’t need the app. It maps the area each time then it runs up and down in segments – very methodically – and finds its dock every time when it’s done. It’s very persistent and quite gentle going around furniture and obstacles but I do pick up floor vases and so on just in case. Battery takes quite a time to charge so I do one area a day or one in the morning and one again in the evening after it recharges for several hours. My house is spotless now. I won’t say it’s a perfect deep clean on the rugs but if you do it regularly it’s very effective. I don’t feel the need to get out the big vacuum ever again.

   I got this summer of 2023 & have hardly used it since. Now it won’t even charge. It’s been with that red light for at least a week & no change! Not worth the price!

   Hace años tengo está aspiradora y sigue funcionando. Recomiendo la marca. Para los estándares actuales este modelo quedó viejo y sin embargo sigue siendo útil, especialmente recogiendo pelo de mascotas.

   In 2022 we purchased a very inexpensive robo vacuum. After a year or so it developed som problems, but we thought we liked it overall. So we upgraded to this one (about 2.5x as much as the first). Wow! This cleans the house much more thoroughly than the previous vacuum we bought. Massive amounts of cat hair. Even more thoroughly than our old upright vacuum. It takes about 3-4 cleanings but develops a map of the house and goes over every portion of the map quite well. We also have a number of area rugs on tile, and it captures the edges of the area rugs as well, where dirt and debris used to hang up (with the older vac). Of course, it does not clean inside corners; no robo vac will due to its circular shape. But we are extremely happy, and this has freed up 2-3 hours of our lives 1-2x/week.

   We have purchased a couple different brands and styles of low-profile robotic vacuums, and we have really liked this Shark. We use this one on laminated vinyl plank flooring. It was fairly easy to set up. (We are old and not techy.) The Shark picks up dirt and dog hair satisfactorily. (It also likes to do a number on small puzzle pieces. It tracks well and doesn’t miss any spots. We haven’t noticed any black scuff marks on the dark taupe baseboard yet. It hasn’t had much trouble docking although, now and then, it pushes the base away from the wall and then it can’t find its way home. Not a biggie. We especially like that it is a little quieter than another brand that we also run in a different part of the house. This is the second Shark we’ve bought, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

   After researching for weeks and looking at more reviews than I care to remember, I decided on this unit. We have two other Shark products that have been indestructible and customer support has sent parts on one unit that’s way past warranty (years & years past), so we are Shark loyalist now. Easy to set up & get going after about a 4.75 hour charge, and man did it get the German Shepard hair (see photo). We held off a couple of days with the normal vacuuming just to see what Sharkie would pick up, (Sharlie was a good girl). I placed the docking station under the TV stand so it doesn’t clutter up the house, yet easy to get to & clean out the bin. We’re early in the use of Sharkie, so I’ll update down the road again but very impressed so far! As a side note, my wife thought it was going to be a waste of money, but now she’s singing a different song with the German Shepard hair balls disappearing along with it’s dirt path.

   Very quiet, which is nice, and picks up most debris. Does a thorough job, doesn’t miss any spots. Large bin to hold lots of debris. Only complaints are with the brushes: there are only 2 and they Always break, so are pretty useless. They usually break during the 1st run, don’t last at all. The remaining pieces are then very hard to pry off. I probably wouldn’t buy again because of this, but other than that it does work well.

   I did a decent amount of research before settling on this product and so far, I am pleased! It is about as “quiet” as you would expect a robot vacuum to be – I run it while working and not while watching TV. It seems to be relatively purposeful in cleaning the room once it has it mapped – it might take awhile and the path might appear to be repetitive but eventually, it does seem to get it all so I really enjoy that. The suction seems great! I use mine in an area that includes the kitchen, dining room, and living room so it’s primarily getting dust, dog hair, and kitchen crumbs and it does a great job. It does go back to it’s dock once it hits a certain % of battery which I think I can change as a setting. I love that you can set a schedule!

   I have two (2) problems with this $300 vac after only 18 months: 1) ROLLER WON’T STAY IN: The roller will no longer stay in. EVER. It falls out the minute I lift the vac off the charger. When I put my hand under the vac to hold the roller on and carefully set the vac down on the carpet it may work for 5 minutes before the roller falls out and the vacuum leaves it behind. 2) WILL NOT CHARGE. No matter how I wiggle and tilt and play around to get it to make contact, the vac will no longer charge. And, YES, we HAVE cleaned the contact points. WHY is everything made to fall apart not long after it is one-year old? It’s disgusting how much waste is created because corporations want us to replace everything we buy every 1-2 years.
