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

At 2 months… still works. Love the systematic cleaning pattern and self emptying feature. It continues vacuuming where it stopped to empty and returns to the charging station. Our previous robot vacuum seemed to follow us from room to room instead of completely cleaning an area.

I previously had less expensive robot vacuum of another brand and it worked well for about a year until the pets killed it out of curiosity. I went about 6 months without it but definitely missed it with 2 dogs and 2 cats inside. I had major rotator cuff surgery some months back and vacuuming still irritates my shoulder so I went to looking for another robot vacuum to help. I settled on this one and love it! I run it at least once a day throughout the house common areas about half standard carpet and half LVP flooring. My house is large so it runs quite a bit. The battery charge can all the areas in one charge and I have it set to automatically return to station to empty when it gets full then it return vacuuming. It picks up pretty well and makes it much easier to keep carpets clean. I still vacuum weekly with my corded shark upright because cordless vacuums don’t have the power corded do but sure make life easier. This little guy picks up everything from flour to cat food, it’s low profile enables it to reach under cabinets and into corners and it’s pretty good at emptying its canister but sometimes will let you know it needs help and you have to manually emptying out the canister but overall it works great !

I love my shark robe vacuum. I bought this after watching my daughters work around in her home. Ive named her Hazel and she is wonderful. The first couple days she worked she filled really quickly - the crazy thing went under me bed and found lots of dust bunnies - thank you Hazel. Now she can pretty much do the entire house with only one trip back to empty. Ive had Hazel about a month now and have found nothing I dont love about her. Twice she got her self into a spot where she needed help to get out. The notification part of the app told me of her distress and it was an easy fix. I never thought Id want or need a robot vacuum but now that I have one Im never giving her up!!!

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.

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

Our Shark robot arrived and it was well packaged but the boundary strips were missing. A call to Shark for the strips was frustrating to say the least. I had to jump through hoops to prove my purchase, including making a video of all the parts and the box that it came in and the Amazon box as well. Seriously? They failed to include everything and then I have to go through this to get the strips? I suppose I should be grateful because initially they said they couldn’t send them to me at all, but when I made my dissatisfaction very clear, they had a change of heart. Also, the representative had very broken English, and was hard to understand. Shark, you can do better for your customers. As for the robot itself, it’s just OK. I purchased it because it doesn’t need dust bags. That was a big plus for me. It’s a bit of a problem that there has to be enough light in the rooms. Otherwise the vacuum can’t see. I have a laundry room with an automatic shut off for the light so it won’t go in there unless I put a lamp in there. It also skipped one other room and I don’t know why because it’s well lit. It does all the other rooms but in a crazy scattered way. It will do one room a third of the way, leave to work on something else and then go back and charge for 2 1/2 hours. Then it comes out, rides around over areas it’s already done, finishes the room it didn’t finish before and then goes over other areas that it already did. It gets totally confused and finally I have to manually dock it. It just doesn’t know when to quit. In the end, it does get most of what I need so I’m keeping it but I prefer my iHome Nova robot that I have on the second floor.

All I have to say is it’s worth every single penny! I would absolutely buy again!

I purchased the Shark during the after Thanksgiving sales. We did not set it up until New Years and what a great surprise. It works great on my wood floors and has no issues with my area rugs. Ive read that its loud, but its not as loud as a regular vacuum so not sure what one would expect. The only time I hear it is when it emptys when it goes back to its home. We do not have pets so I cannot speak on if it works well with pet hair, but I would not expect it or any other brand to pick up piles of hair. That would be something for your larger vacuum. Overall, its a great buy and would recommend.

Think Honda but vacuum. Don’t know what I would do without it.

I think I’m being generous by giving it 3 stars. First, we have a large single story floor plan to deal with of about 2800 sqft, so I recognize this could be a challenge, but we’ve had a Neato Botvac Connected that handled it efficiently for years, though the robot itself wasn’t that reliable and I got tired of repairing it, otherwise, I’d definitely just buy another. Enter the 2nd generation Shark IQ AV1110ARUS we bought due to the good reviews and self emptying feature. The good: it cleans well and I like the fact that the self emptying bin is bagless, unlike the Roomba i7+ (I tried this as a replacement too). Also, the Shark wanders a bit less and bumps into things WAY less and much more gently than the Roomba. Lastly, it’s much quieter in all phases of operation than the Roomba. The bad: There are many things that disappoint me. First, the very short time between recharge even running at “normal” mode, forget about “max”, of about 45 minutes or so. Then, the unit will return to base and recharge before resuming, which takes nearly 3 hours!! In 8 hours of running, the unit only covered about half of the house at which point I had to send it back to its base for the evening, cancelling the rest of the house. Then there is the mapping feature of the app, which supposedly is much improved on the newer 2nd generation, but you wouldn’t know it from my experience. Yesterday, it generated a map for half of the house, which was pretty rough and not very accurate, but it was a map. So I labeled all of the rooms it found, set up no go boundaries, etc and assumed it would continue to evolve the map as it cleaned more. Nope. Ran it more, even let it discover new places which it went into where the previous map ran out, but it wouldn’t update further. I checked with support and once “accepted”, that map is final, it won’t continue to expand on it so I was told to delete it and start over. Basically, the unit needs to run for an indefinite period and happen to wander into every space on its own before you accept the map or else you start all over. For the record, the Roomba i7+ sucks too at this, Neato Botvac Connected so far puts them both to shame, except for mechanical reliability. I’ll be returning this unit and waiting until the software improves to the point of being more helpful than frustrating. There are plenty of superior robot vacs out there for much cheaper, just really wanted the self emptying capability.
