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

Its a good vacuum but for what its being sold for dont buy it. There are far better robots out there. If you want to stay with Shark go with one of their LiDAR robots. They track a lot better. Pros: Self empty dock works great. No-go zones. Great suction and good pickup. Easy to maintain. Good edge tracking. Cons: Doesnt work in the dark due to being a camera system. Doesnt clean corners well. Tracking is okay at best, doesnt know where it is sometimes. App is okay, used to be worse.

I bought this at a Black Friday sale for about 300 dollars. I was skeptical about the abilities of such a small vacuum compared to the amount of hair German Shepherds leave laying on the floor at home. I have to admit, I was WRONG to judge. This thing is AWESOME!! It has cut my workload from 2 times a week vacuuming hair, to just spot cleaning the few clumps the vacuum couldnt reach. Im walking around in my socks on the bare floor, just to see how well its doing, and I cant see any dirt or hair on the bottom of my sock. And the BEST part is it finds its way back to the dock and EMPTIES itself, then gets back after it!!! I can even use my Google Home voice prompts to clean the floor and BOOM its off vacuuming... *Do not listen to the negative reviews. I am here to tell you, this thing is a WINNER!* Keep this in mind though..... Technology of any kind is never perfect. Do not go into this believing it will solve all of your floor cleaning problems because it wont. This is merely a tool to help make life a little easier, but it wont replace still needing to vacuum a few spots here and there. Whats important is that you FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS and set it up properly, then just let it clean as much of your house as often as possible. Over time, the device will map your house and have a better idea of the areas and directions it needs to go. You will start to notice it anticipate corners and lengths or hallways almost perfectly. Just be patient and let the device learn. AGAIN, THIS TAKES TIME!! It is not instant.

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!!!

What a great piece of engineering. Fascinating what they’ve done with miniaturizing the drives and components, not to mention the programming. Truly impressive

We haver had two Botvacs over past 5 years. Robot vacs are to do light cleaning, pet hair in our case. We still vacuum once a week. The shark works better than our most recent Botvac, which was a few years old. It is quiet, and self emptying is more helpful than I first thought it would be. Also faster. Last cost was much less than past Botvacs we have purchased.

First. I love this little robot. I’ve named her Rosie. She vacuums dust, sand and dog hair wonderfully and without any fuss. I schedule her to vacuum every morning since I have 3 dogs and a lot of dog hair. Second… I hate this robot. I thought the sensors were upgraded to detect dog poop. This was a selling point for me since I have dogs that sometimes have accidents and I’ve heard horror stories. Now I have a horror story if my own. Now, trust me that I didn’t put poop somewhere to test out the sensors bc I absolutely did not but here we are. An hour later after cleaning poo from my beloved robot vacuum… from every tread of both very nice wheels, every crevice and screw on the underside of my wonderful household helper. I still have to deep clean EVERY FLOOR she vacuumed AFTER she vacuumed poo bc of course the poo was in the first room. I am filled with rage that has fueled me to write this pleasant review about poo sensors on my robot vacuum not working. Also… in case of these incidents, I feel like the entire bottom of the vacuum should be easier to clean. It was a nightmare to get it all.

The more you use it, the better it does. This isnt a deep cleaning device, it does very well maintaining on a daily level for our 2 short hair dogs and 2 long hair cats. Dont plan on replacing your upright all together, you will still need it. Our AV1010AE runs 7 days a week, and has for almost two years now. Decent suction keeps the pet hair under control as long as you keep the filters clean. Clean/replace the filters often, especially in the dust bin. Lots of replacement parts available, more about the Brush rolls later. Runs for about 90 minutes per full clean for 1200 sq ft. Compatible with Alexa if youre into that. Our cats and dogs have learned to live with and watch out for it. Its tough enough to withstand a startled dog impact when it runs into a sitting dog unexpectedly. The cats havent been spotted riding it yet, but have walked across the top without incident. If you have a carpet stair runner this robot will dramatically pause and turn to look back at you before driving over the cliff so blockade effectively. Unit goes into Drunken Stupor mode if asked to clean in the dark. it will take a few steps forward, turn circles, then gives up and starts drunk texting alerts in the app. You will disable these notifications within 3 days as this robot will blow up your phone after making another bad decision and getting hopelessly stuck. Home Childproofing experience recommended but not required, the robot will train you. Brush Roll Issue: Shark sells the AV1010AE with your choice of either the Multi Surface Brush Roll, or the Self Cleaning Brush Roll. I havent found any information on the difference between them. My unit came with the multi surface brush roll. All of the replacement parts kits are only available with the self cleaning brush roll. If you have a unit with the multi surface brush roll, you will either have to modify the brush roll access door slightly, or purchase a replacement brush roll door from Shark. The door shipped with the multi surface brush roll unit will not work with a self cleaning brush roll without filing down a wedge shaped plastic tab on the brush roll door. It may have been fixed in later models, but the issue is obvious and easily remedied if the issue still exists. I recommend just getting the self cleaning model and forgoing the issue entirely. The self cleaning roll doesnt require nearly as much cleaning as the multi surface brush roll did and cleans just as well from what Ive seen. Well deserved 4 stars from me, even after the newness wore off. Thing hasnt missed a day sine we set it up in July 2021, and would buy again.

I have to repaint all my baseboards, need blue painters tape on the bumper

I bought this after doing a lot research. I thought it was nicely priced and had a lot of features considering the cost. It cleans very well sometimes going over the same area more than once. The self emptying is a particularly nice feature and on a cleaning run, it will often interrupt the cleaning to empty itself then start over where it left off. Its pretty good with hair as long as its not very long. I am not so sure that the bin on the base will go for 30 days as I usually empty mine after a week or at most 2 weeks. It is however not maintenance free... The filter in the robot as well as one in the base does need cleaning every now and then to maintain the great sucking power that it has and I usually take off the brush and remove the hair that is tangled there. As I have a baby in the house and hence lots of food particles on the floor, I activate the robot twice daily and clean the robot every 2 weeks though it is probably un-necessary to do it so often as the filter and brush are usually not very dirty at that time. My only negative comment is that there is no option for a remote to the best of my knowledge bearing in mind that the app to control the device doesnt work in all countries outside of the USA as I painfully found out when I tried to download the app. That unfortunately converts it from being really smart to being somewhat retarded as it learns the position of bits of furniture but if they are removed, it still avoids the area as if they were still there. I took off one star for this reason and would not recommend this particular unit if you live outside of the USA or its territories.

As a household with 4 kids at home and a bunch of pets.....this does the trick for in between deep clean vacuuming. I run this little guy Monday - Friday and then use our standard vacuum on the weekends. This definitely sucks up more than I expected it to, especially since its incredibly quiet. I was expecting this be loud like the Roomba a few years back, but we can hardly tell its running so I was skeptical when it went back to the base to empty. We do have thicker carpet in our living room, but ti still managed to do a great job cleaning. We make sure that we pick up anything that may get in its way to get a full cleaning each cycle. Overall.....I am loving it so far for day to day cleaning
