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

We’ve had “Carson” for about 6 weeks, running the daily route about the house. The messy parakeet feathers and mess are no match for this little helper. Unexpectedly, the old carpet is looking much better, too! The daily fluff and cleaning is really doing it good. We highly recommend this product!

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.

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!!!

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 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 was disappointed of no mapping. The ad need to make it more clear.

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).

It can memorize its own routes and you can micromanage which rooms you want it to do. I see mine make it’s way through a door instead of bumping around everywhere, trying to find the way inside.

Ive had mine for a couple months now and overall its doing an absolutely fantastic job. PROS: I only have to empty this sucker out maybe once a month, which already makes it better than a lot of vacuums for me. Instead of wandering all over the place, it maps out your floor over a couple iterations and then methodically goes back and forth over every inch it can reach (which, lets face it, Im not squeezing a vacuum under some of the furniture it can glide right under). You also dont have to babysit it, as it periodically returns to its dock to empty out what it has collected up to that point before picking back up where it left off. The associated Shark app lets me program it to go through my house at specific times or days of the week, or pause it remotely if I feel like it. I never see it get stuck on anything. Its decently quiet for a vacuum, too, except when... CONS: ...it empties its contents into the main dock, which is pretty loud for about 2 or 3 seconds. This is technically a con, since it *will* grab your and everyone elses attention immediately, but its so quiet the rest of the time that I honestly dont care. (Frankly it also makes me laugh because I swear it sounds like the worlds tiniest jet engine for those couple seconds of emptying.) I guess my only real gripe is that Shark (and the million 3rd party retailers) make it bizarrely difficult to buy the correct version of the tiny forward brushes if you want to grab some extra replacement ones just in case. Mine have held up well, but if you do need some, for the love of God make sure you visually match them up first before buying.

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