Shark AV911S EZ Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Base, Bagless, Row-by-Row Cleaning, Perfect for Pet Hair, Compatible with Alexa, Wi-Fi, Gray

UPDATED 7.13.2022: About 4 months ago, my Shark deleted the map it made of my house. Thats 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, Ive remapped and re-set up my rooms and no-go zones multiple times only for the app to delete them again. Ive read online that its a very common problem, but good luck getting anyone in Support to look at it. Without this functionality, its just another dumb robot. Dont waste your time buying it for the Mapping functionality. _________________________________________________________________________ Ive 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. Lets start with the obvious: - The Shark unit has a predictable cleaning pattern. Once it has run several times, itll create a decent map of your house. Youll want to go in and create rooms or zones so you can tell it where you want it to clean (or dont). 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 didnt 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 dont mind running it when were 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 arent cliffs. We have a mix of hard floors and fairly thick-pile carpet. If youre wondering if its worth saving a few hundred dollars on a Shark and trying it out, you should go for it. Im glad I did.

My Lady-Friend saw this Model on Sale for 200 Dollars off for a limited time. I had talked about getting a robot vacuum and this was the opening I was waiting for. Amazon shipped it to us and we received it without any incidents. Setup was a breeze. It is easy to assemble, and getting it onto my WIFI Network was a breeze. I had some issues until I discovered I forgot to switch my phone with the app from the 5g signal to the 2g signal (very important). Once I did that, setting up the Robot on the App was easy. I really have any complaints about the Shark Robot. It does what is advertised. It is actually cleaning our apartment as we speak. It does a good job of finding its way around without getting stuck. The only time it got stuck was when it was cleaning under our bed. I put down some of the magnetic border strips to keep it away from my surge protector and the wires around it, and it got stuck between the strips and one of the bedframe support posts. It was an easy fix, just moved the strips in more to give the robot more room to maneuver. Problem solved. So far, Im happy with my purchase. Now, the Kraken in the Room: The Suction. I think it is decent for what the Robot is. I did a good job of picking up the dirt and lint that was under our bed that we could have never gotten with our normal vacuum without moving the bed. Understand that this Robot, especially at this price point, will NEVER fully replace your standard upright vacuum. The purpose of this robot is spot cleaning and keeping a base level of cleanliness. You should still have and be using your upright for when you need true deep cleaning. In closing, this is a powerful little robot that does the job that it is advertised it will do. It is easy to set up and easy to use. If you absolutely HAVE to have a more powerful robot that does more of the deep-cleaning that youre looking for, the Roomba has a model that is around 800 bucks. Thank you, and GOOD NIGHT NOW!!!

Great vacuum, east set up and use. I did have issues with installing the app and never got that cleared up, but works fine without it. It is a bit noisy and bangs into things…I like to have it clean when I’m gone. It doesn’t get stuck or get tied up into cords. It does a thorough job and cleans my 1600 sq for house on one charge! I love that it returns itself to the base and self empties!! Great purchase really
