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

A great robot vac. Runs on schedule and cleans dog hair everywhere it goes. The only problem I faced was Wi-Fi connecting it while pairing with my phone. It took three attempts to succeed. Now I am just happy it cleans on its own.

It vacuumed well and keeps the pet hair off the floor and empties itself which is awesome, but it does not care about the schedule I set on the app, it will cut on in the middle of the night. It also does not seem to care about the nogo zone I set, it’s goes into the no clean zone everyday. Also if I tell it to return to dock from the app, it doesn’t and just finishes vacuuming

We have 3 dogs and there was hair in corners and along the edge of the wall constantly, and they would also track dirt in all the time. It always looked like the house was dirty unless you vacuumed everyday. The robot manages to keep the entire place looking decent. It actually improved our mood because youre not coming home to piles of hair and dirt poking out of the corners. We have 1400 sq ft on the main floor where the robot is and we empty the main cannister about once every week or two. The robot returns to empty about 3-4 times during its cleaning cycle (set to extra emptying due to dog hair). I would not like the regular robot that doesnt have the cannister, it would likely not do the job for us. It takes about 2-3 hrs to do the entire floor including returning to base to charge when needed. Now for the slight negatives: 1. It tends to get a little stuck every few days on our dog beds sometimes although its nice that it can actually climb onto them and clean them too usually (theyre the giant pillow type not mattress or walled type). 2. This version has a brush roller, I wish I had known about/seen the rubber roller as the brush does pick up the hair quite a bit, but I tend to only have to clean it out once a week or so. 3. The cleaning pattern seems a little non optimal and it sometimes tends to go over the same area multiple times. 4. Tends to close doors behind it so it can get stuck in a room, especially if the door is slightly balanced such that it closes easily, not sure what any robot could do about this. Weve tied back the doors it happens to the most. Wish list: 1. Ability to see the robots location on the map it creates on your phone. To find the robot you can use the app and it will make noise so its not imperative, and if it stops for some reason it sends a notification. 2. Ability for the robot to detect that it is stuck in a room and send a notification before it gets low on battery. 3. Replacement brush with the rubber brushes (might be able to havent really checked yet).

One of the main reasons we chose this product was because desciption indicated that hair would not wrap around beater bar. The pic definitely shows a great deal of hair. Product was received 3 days ago and used twice. Disappointed this feature does not work as described. With that being said, product must be deep cleaning to accumulate that much hair.

I have a Belgian Malinois and a German Shepard and it cleans up their fur really well on all hard surfaces. There’s never ANY dust or fur visible on the hard floor, the vacuum is ran once a day on a schedule. As you can imagine, carpet can be difficult to get fur out of for most vacuums. If I had to put a number on it, I’d say that it cleans up 90%-95% of the fur on the carpet. That’s actually really impressive with how much my dogs shed year round. The mapping took some time but once we figured out how to do it properly, it’s been working great! The house is 2,400sqft and it does have to stop one time during cleaning to recharge but it returns to exactly where it left off and finishes the rest of the house. The reason it has to recharge is likely due to it being on the highest suction mode, which is awesome that there is even an option for that. Couldn’t recommend this vacuum enough, it’s drastically lessened cleaning time throughout the week. Also, it’s nice to come home to vacuum lines in the carpet every day that I don’t have to spend time on. The bagless empty on the home base is an awesome feature as well. Just be mindful not to have it run at night because the vacuum on the home base is loud when it pulls everything out of the robot, as it should be. It does a great job at pulling everything out and the loud suction only lasts a couple of seconds. Just know that it may wake you up if you’re asleep. 10/10 recommend, absolutely worth every dime.

A solo purpose of this purchase was because it is a bagless vacuum. After using the bagless upright vacuum a decade or two, I had no intention to keep buying and wasting those bags. So for that matter, this is the perfect auto vacuum. The downside of this is that - which I was aware of prior to the purchase - this model does not equip a sensor to detect objects. In order words, it would push a shoe around, try very hard (perhaps wasting battery power) to go over anything on its way. I forgot to turn off the scheduled cleaning while I was out of town, it ran and the cats apparently pushed a small glass bowl off the kitchen counter and spread small broken glasses, some large pieces got stuck when it did self emptying so most certainly Id certainly schedule to run while I am at home, clear the floor before the scheduled time. So if you prefer to run an auto vacuum of any kind, Id suggest that you choose the sensor to avoid the objects.

Our home has no carpet, only tile and wood flooring. Weve had the Shark for over two months now. I have to say I am impressed with it so far. I have it set to run 3 times a week and each time it picks up stuff. The first couple times it had a lot of material, but even now it doesnt fail to pick up a substantial amount, in other words that is material that would just accumulate until we manually vacuumed. It has gotten caught up on our light rugs, but vacs right over the heavier and rubber bottomed ones. It recommends you have 3ft of clearance on the side, but the best places for us to put it did not have that, only a foot on each side, but so far weve had no problem. It has always found its way back to the base. My wife was skeptical at first, but after seeing how much it picks up is now happy we have it. We do pick up the light rugs before its scheduled run, but other than that we just let it run. In the future we will replace the light rugs with heavier ones and we wont even have to do that. It does require some maintenance, especially the first few times. The first time it ran, in which it went under couches and beds where we normally dont get, the eject opening got plugged. It warns you that something is off and the app lets you know it is plugged. Easy to clean out. It has also gotten hair twisted around the roller brush, but the plate comes off and the rollers come out. Cutting the hair with scissors and pulling it off worked. Then easy enough to snap back in place.

Product is a cheaper iRobot, period. For half the price of the leading brand, I get half the cleaning ability. We have an iRobot and this Shark. Both clean the bottom floor and the iRobot cleans afterward. Always has more debris in its container.

Vacuum cleans great. I love that it empties itself when full.

I looked at pros and cons of many robo vacuums before deciding on this one. It cleans quite well—I’m surprised at how much it picks up! I could not go 30 days without emptying, but we do have the two shedding dogs and a fair amount of sand. My dogs have short hair. I can see how longer hair might be a problem. Even short hair can clog a bit if you don’t regularly open things up to clean out. I run mine once a day, empty every day, and have learned that I need to clean the filter and clean the inside about once a week. If you don’t have pets and live in a sandy area, you can get by with a lot less. The filter works really well—do clean it more often than recommended. My only real complaint is that the battery seems to need more charging than I’d hoped. I have had trouble getting connected to wi-fi, but I haven’t called in for help yet—that seems to be a common issue. I will look forward to setting times and doing spot cleaning once I can use the app. All told, I’m very happy with the purchase so far.
