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

To start with the straightforward stuff, it is a fantastic product for those looking for something simple to keep their rooms clean when they cannot do this. I would not recommend it for super heavy cleaning of tons and tons of fur if you have a husky or another large shedder. I do not have any pets, so this was fine with me. I use it in my basement because it gets pretty dusty down there fairly quickly. It keeps it very clean, especially from all the debris knocked off of shoes. The app was, at first, minimal and did not provide much control over the robot. But they just recently released an update that shows a more clean interface, and it allows you to pause the robot if there’s an issue. Before there was no pause button, so it would be difficult to resume it when the robot would get stuck in a situation. It definitely takes more than a few runs to learn your room and to stop running into things. I have watched it slowly grasp where everything is, and it has finally stopped running into problems as much. It used to get stuck under my computer chair, but now it recognizes it and completely ignores it. It does an excellent job of cleaning dust, debris, and even little critters. There are 3 different modes to choose from when it comes to suction strength: • Eco mode is suitable for light cleaning around the rooms if you want to save the battery and such. • Normal mode works fine if you are doing a regular clean. I mainly use this mode because it cleans the best while reaching all rooms without running out of battery. • Max mode will cause it to lose battery much quicker, but it will clean at the maximum suction. This mode is excellent for these types of situations. However, I would not recommend using this mode if the area you are cleaning is large in size.

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

Love it clean my floors excellently! this is my second one that I purchased one for the back part of the house and one for the bedroom and kitchen! sure takes a lot off your back when you don’t have to vacuum.

I was gifted this robot for Christmas (early) and I love it so much. Here’s what i learned thus far: 1.) Before you use your robot, vacuum your floors one good time first with a regular vacuum. Make sure to mop the floors too! This robot was made to maintain cleanliness, it’s not meant to clean up a floor left untouched for several days/weeks/months/years (you know who you are.) 2.) Make sure to set your robot to self-empty every 30 minutes and to also self-charge when the battery is low. Doing this will keep your robot cleaning in between charging sessions if your floor is large. 3.) We like to use pillows to keep the robot out of rooms or nooks he’s not allowed in. I’ll get the strips at a later date. 3.) We run our bot once every other day. 4.) This bot kinda forces you to keep junk off the floor. Want clean carpets? Pick up those clothes/cords/papers! This bot is good for fur control if you have hard floors and standard grade carpets. Thick, plush carpets with long strands are going to get caught in the brush (he got stuck on my super fluffy bath mat). I have an 8x10 rug and standard bedroom carpets you typically find average built (or cookie cutter) homes. Our robot cleans them very well and makes satisfying patterns on the carpets that really set a good, clean-feeling mood. We have two high shedding women and three ultra shedding cats. I clean off the spinner brush about once a week so that it won’t get clogged with hair. Also be sure to clean the filters monthly. If you take the time to care for your robot routinely, it will excel in keeping your floors fur and dirt free!

I have really bad allergies. I have a dog and a cat. This thing has changed my life in helping keep hair and dander swept up. My allergies are much better in my house. But, I personally do not think it is worth spending more money for the self dump.

Probably should have bought a brand new one. It was amazing when it worked. But buying refurbished is always a risk.

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

I just checked and we bought this model 13 months ago now, so I thought I would share the good, the bad and the meh? For context we have a 1500 sq.ft. home with all solid surface floors. Good: We have a very heavy shedding dog (English Springer Spaniel) and this does a reasonable daily job of getting the hair. It is more convenient than having to hand vacuum every day. Bad: If that seems like a very brief good list , it reflects a growing disenchantment. The longer you live with this the less there is to love. First, it never really does learn your home as advertised. It is just as hard on furniture and walls today as when it first ran. We have started to ask ourselves if the repairs are worth it. Second, it is incredibly glitchy. Cannot seem to stick to an organized approach to its very basic job. It runs increasingly random patterns as opposed to the advertised logical grid. The map needs frequent deleting and relearning. It cannot even stick to a consistent schedule. Since there is no way to manually adjust the time for the unit, it should go by the time in the app. It does not. Online searching shows many other frustrated users but no solution. Which leads right into yet another disappointment; the woefully inadequate support you will suffer. As in worthless. It is also noisy. As bad as our regular vacuum. Speaking of which, hang on to your old one. You will need to use it frequently for all the places that this misses. By the time you tear it apart every week for deep cleaning, fiddle with the very awkward scheduling, try to adjust its power settings and repair damage to baseboards and furniture, you are left as we are, wondering exactly when we bite the bullet and toss this into the trash. In our case, I think the little monster is enjoying its last week. Overall I would not say that we got our moneys worth.

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.

Works fantastic on our hardwood floors and carpeted rooms. I dont think Ive had to bust out my old vacuum since getting one of these for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. We have 3 cats that would track around kitty litter and shed everywhere. This vacuum does a fantastic job of keeping our floors clean and comfortable to walk around barefoot on. (I did buy the no tangle rollers since cat hair/human hair was building up on the roller and getting wrapped around it eventually stopping the roller from turning and needing manual intervention. I havent had the no tangle rollers for long so well see if theyre any better than the stock ones) Only complaint is the mapping doesnt work the best. The robot will ignore the no go zones and you have to wipe the map and start over to try to get them to apply. Mapping software could use some work. Also youll want to run these during the day/in a well lit room. Ive tried running them late at night or early in the morning and due to the lack of light they get lost and cant find the docking station. Verdict: Despite the buggy mapping software for no go zones and low light issues I love the fact I no longer have to vaccum!
