Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base, Bagless, 60-Day Capacity, LIDAR Navigation, Perfect for Pet Hair, Compatible with Alexa, Wi-Fi Connected, Carpet & Hard Floor, Black

I have had a roomba I6 for 2 years. It has done a good job. I have had to replace parts no big deal. Some parts are hard to get. And it was never quiet. I decided to replace it. I looked at all kinds. Decided to try this one. I glad I did. It is way quieter than my roomba. It was way cheaper too! There are some things that I dont like about the app. I wish it had more options about the scheduling like the roomba app. When my grandsons are here I had a schedule not to vacuum their room. With this app I just have to turn it off and do room by room or shut the door. I still like it alot. I do recommend it highly.

I dont know what i did before we had Carl. Carl has become part of our house, one dog dont care, the other dog runs away from it, and the cat attacks it, but even after all of that torment Carl sucks it up and keeps cleaning. Sometimes Carl gets a little drunk and runs in circles, but for the most part does an amazing job at tracking its routes and cleaning in an efficient manner.

You can only program one floor. I have a sunken living room and I can’t add that room to the house. Otherwise it works well, although it would be nice if you could steer it with the app.

I used to get irritated when my kids would come out to my office and get dirt and grass all over my floor. The Robo-Shark has brought peace back into my heart like only a shark can. haha I would buy again. Just an FYI, it is a maintenance cleaner. Youll still have to vacuum the corners and edges of the room manually. Overall though its a great lil vacuum.

This has definite improvements in navigation from the older models. This robot goes right to the correct room to vacuum without bouncing off walls and furniture. It is louder than the older model.

I hace been using my shark for months. It works great and it saves me so much time. It cleans well. It makes less noise than my old vacuum cleaner but there is some noise. Not a big deal for me. I love that it saves me time and allows me to keep up with the dog hair. I will definitely buy another one for the first level of the house so I don’t have to move it from second floor to the first.

I have owned and still own the IRobot. Shark knocks the IRobot to the curb! I will only own Shark auto cleaner from now on. I now have three and the IRobot is in the attic for a yard sale.

Lets do this Pros: Coverage, so far its gotten every corner. Plus it does vacuum in rows so you can see what it misses. Self emptying, its good with a couple flaws on this point. More on this later. Noise level, depends on the setting, in the app it has 3 settings and buried deeper it has one additional setting. Eco, normal, and max. The more buried one is simply Ultra clean which only works when set to clean a zone or room. Durability: cant say since its its only been working for about 10 days at this point. Ill update the review depending on results in a few months. Cleaning power: So far so good its working well, even though we have a medium dog with semi long hair. Its been consistently able to clean up after her shedding. Cons: the bottom of the catcher does need to be cleaned about 1 time per week. Simply flip it over, unlatch the spinning brush, then reach in and clean out the comb that catches the hair and debris. Also empty the bin, it says 60 says or so. However, were just doing it weekly to prevent it getting full. Also, the app could use some work, it tends to freeze up occasionally while its running. Conclusion: we have a Roomba from about 2-3 years ago. Its done well by us but its been dying from all the dog hair. This shark doesnt have a problem with the hair at all. Weve decided to use the Roomba upstairs where dog is not allowed and doesnt go, while the shark handles downstairs. So far, its been rock solid.

When I first got it, the option to have it dock after 30 mins of cleaning was on and it was taking almost a full day to clean my 1900 sq ft home between cleaning and charging. In fact, I was in the process of returning it because of this. However, once I realized what the issue was and shut it off, it was better. Even still, it will only clean about an hour before the battery runs low and it has to dock. After an hour of charging, it will then will start again and finish the rest of my house in the next hour. I still dont get the inefficient cleaning pattern it chooses because it will clean one room then all of a sudden go across my house to clean another room only to have to make a bee-line back to the first room to finish. I used to have another unknown brand that I loved but it was damaged by a dog toy that clogged the roller and damaged the part that holds and spins the roller. After about a month of research and comparison shopping, I chose this model based on the reviews and the features it had. It does a good job and eventually it will clean the house over a 3 hour period - so its good for now. Pros: - Good suction - does well with pet hair; I have 3 dogs and a cat - The self-empty feature is really good and not as noisy as others while emptying - It does eventually clean every area of my house, well - Back and forth cleaning pattern vs. bump and go - Always finds its way back to the docking station - Handles all my rugs well without getting stuck, dragging them or folding them over. Cons: - Battery life stinks - App is terrible - I have to log in each time I open it. Plus, it does not show you real-time information - it is only available after it docks.

I love everything about this vacuum! Mapped out my house and designated rooms on the app. I can set it to clean an individual room, the whole house or spot clean from anywhere with the handy Shark app. My floors have never been so clean. I set up no go areas on the app too, so he stays out of my kids rooms. Enter there at your own risk lol. They can vacuum their own room and I dont have to fear of this guy getting lost in their vortex of a room. However, if he does get stuck somewhere you get a notification on the app and you can locate him with the app too. It is also nice not having to empty him, he empties himself and I empty the been every couple of weeks and give him a good clean. Highly recommend this vacuum! Worth every penny, no doubt about it.
