I have the RV1001AE, it’s great. Mapped my downstairs in 3 runs. I have it set to run 1/2 cycle, then go back and empty and run the 2nd 1/2. No problems
@@nikerailfanningttm9046 I don’t know if it’s the best, but I like it. After using it I wish it had more programmable functions. Would be nice to have it vacuum a few times a day. I hope Shark adds more functions like that.
Just my 2 cents. We bought the shark and have not had any issues. Mapped my house in 4 runs and the app works great. Empties at least twice during cleaning. I recommend highly
How big is your house? We just bought on and it is on the way but our house is 3200sqft with a somewhat open floor plan in the majority of the house. I'm a bit nervous now.
My main level is 2000 square feet.. it took about 15 runs to map. I have mostly hardwood floor, and tile. I was purposely using my dyson animal 2 before I ran this to see how much dust/dirt it would collect and I couldn’t believe how my shark iq still collected. I paid 350 for it and my only wish was that I bought a 2nd one for my basement or upstairs. FYI it says to run it in daylight or have all the lights on.. I did both, also my dogs hate it so that is really the only challenge I felt I have had.
@@0814947 my biggest issue with it is that it doesn't directly go where I tell it to. It's as if the room function doesn't work most of the time. It never goes STRAIGHT to the rooms I tell it to clean. It's driving me nuts. Like the kitchen is to the left of it. Instead of going left, it goes towards the right half of the house. It makes no sense. And it goes beyond the room boundaries and ends up cleaning other rooms.
Jennifer Thompson I’m buying it primarily to keep the hardwood floor clean of animal fur and dust. Will this work will then? No big cleanups needed for it.
Should I retest this vacuum? I bought when it first came out and had no updates at all. I hear there have been updates and good improvements? Thumbs up if you think I should?
If you do, here are a few tips for the best results. Since the robot uses a camera to navigate, turning on the lights during the mapping phase helps a lot. Also, if you have a large house, turn on echo mode (low vacuum suction) during the mapping phase. The batteries will last a long longer, so mapping will take fewer runs. My house was mapped on the first run, on normal mode.
I bought this a while ago and no regrets. I had no issues with mapping at all. In fact, I decided to toss the map and start over to include my bedroom. I don't have it clean my entire house, just the common are like kitchen, dining room, hallway, leading to our bedroom. What I like too is that it doesn't get stuck anywhere. We a have a little pug and he sheds like crazy. The robot has no issues cleaning the hair and sand no problem with our laminate flooring. Sorry his didn't work out you, but it was worth every penny for me.
So if you tell it to clean one room only, does it go DIRECTLY there? And only stay there, then go back home? Mine is driving me nuts. I'll tell it to go kitchen (left room from base), and it starts to clean to the right half of the house, instead of the kitchen which is the room DIRECTLY to the left. Sometimes it stays within the boundaries of the selected room, other times it keeps cleaning the rest of the house randomly even though we told it to only clean one room. I wish it would just go on a straight line to the selected room instead of wandering and cleaning other areas.
Do you have problem with hair in wheels. I have to GSD that can kill a shop vac. Have two reg sharks vacs and they get clogged if i don't vac every day.
Agreed, Jay! Have a 4 bedroom home with huskies and it does just fine. It empties itself maybe only once if it's very messy then resumes where it left off. Gave me a map after 3 uses.
I'm very sad. just got a refurbished one today and it's going back. ran for 30 seconds and did the error 2 code. indicator light said it was the bumper. needsbto be cleaned....but it ran seconds and I vacuumed yesterday.....my floors are clean. so it's not dirty. also I can't remove the bumper without special tools.... sucks and I'm very sad. I begged my hubby for one for my bday and it's garbage.
Sucks you didn’t like this. I have had mine about two weeks and it works perfectly. It took about 10 runs to fully map my house. I have 3 dogs and it keeps my house clean. I didn’t have any of the problems you have expressed in your video.
Mapping and emptying itself worked great for me since the very first run. I have two heavy shedding dogs, both short hair, spectacular cleaning. Love it. Only regret is to not have gotten it sooner.
I bought one yesterday (May 2, 2020) with money out of my own pocket. The Shark IQ came up with a fairly accurate map on the first try. You should retest it. One critical factor is that it has a camera on top facing the ceiling and that helps it draw the map. I have very plain ceilings. What are your ceilings like?
Who cares how long the mapping takes? The main concern should be if it cleans or not. I don’t care how fast it runs around - it’s doing it while at work.
LOL a shout for ME ❤❤❤😎😎😎. Thanks BUD, just waiting to see if the Shark can improve after the software update, I will see in 3-6 months how the Shark has improved. Thanks Again Adam 👍
Hey there :) Could you or Adam please help me to figure this out. I am a bit confused and did not understand the "full bin" part. Does the Shark returns to the base when its bin is full or not? Maybe it was just programmed to return to the base after some time of running?
Smart Robot Reviews You are correct, the robot will return to the Dock after a certain time to evaluate and resume after a certain time limit. There no dirt full or dirt detection sensor.
May be I got mine after a software update (purchased on 11/22/19). I had none of the issues you described. As a matter of fact, it has preformed flawlessly. I will recommend the Shark to friends and family.
Mine mapped my house accurately on its first run. It probably isn’t up to par with the expensive I-series Roomba, but for the price it works and cleans quite well.
Hey David. I think yours mapped your home in 1 run because you have the 2nd Generation Shark IQ. The second gen Shark IQ has a floor tracker, which isn’t present on the model Adam has in the video (He retested a Shark IQ which had a floor tracker). That is why yours can map your home in 1 run, instead of 30-40.
We have a 110lb long hair Great Pyrenees indoor dog. If I don't upright vacuum every day then I get those puffy white clouds everywhere. A "normal" upright vac will end up with a horribly wrapped roller. That is how bad the hair can get. My Shark IQ has almost freed me from the task. Now I upright vacuum the stairs and crevices only once a month. The Shark has very much improved my quality of life. I still get an occasional small hair wrap in the middle of the roller from time to time but its nothing compared to the hassle it all was. I can delete the map in the app and it begins to rebuild itself after the first cleaning. The map completes after about 15 runs and I can zone the rooms. My house is about 1,700 sqft and I set it to empty more often and never had a problem. I keep the suction on high and it runs for about an hour and ten minutes before returning to base for about two hours and finish the edging. It has never not found its base. I think it's too bad this author chooses to utterly trash such a great product.
I have a 2100 sq ft house, and it works fine. No problems. The app is basic, sure, but it gets the job done, what else do you need? It shows the map, you can schedule cleaning, rooms, etc.
i've had mine for a very long time and love it. I did notice that it does not map an area which is not in reach of the base unit. As an example, when I bring it up to the second floor or basement of my house and the base unit is on the main floor, it will not map out the 2nd floor or basement
I just wanted to put my two cents in. We've had one for a couple weeks now and I havent found many of these issues.. I have a map of my house after about 15 cleanings. The app works fine for me at least so far. It's not meant for a heavy use in my opinion. Still waiting to see what the rest of ownership brings but for now I love it.
@@AdamsReviews No problem! I agree with the sensor to tell if the internal dustbin is full is a little ridiculous. I dont have anything to compare it to although I've been satisfied so far. Sometimes it can be a little difficult for the robot to find the dock but otherwise that's been the only complaint I have so far. Still was a useful review!
Yes, the mapping is terrible. Mine mapped my smallish 1st floor after about 30 runs, but there is a strange extra area showing on the map that doesn't exist. That said, I have 3 dogs and the both the Neato and Roborock often get bins overfull before they finish cleaning, so the self emptying bin is nice. It doesn't seem to fill very fast, so I'm wondering if it's cleaning as well as the other two that get bins jammed full of debris. I have not done any objective testing, but of the 3, Neato seems to pick up the most dirt and Roborock is by far the best at navigation. And the Shark is just plain dumb, but gets the job done but it never has an over-full bin.
TLDR, not as good overall as competitors that cost 2-3x more, but software updates have come and are coming to improve it. Still a solid robot vacuum for the less affluent. Yes, the Shark has deficiencies when you compare to a vacuum that costs 2-3x more. But, in my opinion, those deficiencies can be addressed via software tweaks and updates. I believe they are relatively new to the robot vacuum market and have been pretty good at updating it so far. I've owned mine for about a month and it did take about 15 or so runs to learn my maze-like 1800 sqft home, but it did generate a map and now it works great. I'd be hesitant spending $500+ on ANY vacuum, but sales happen all the time. I picked mine up from Kohls for just over $300, and I have no regrets. The app was very crash prone the first couple of weeks, but a big update came out and I don't have that problem anymore. I hear they are also planning to add new features such as no-go zones in the near future.
I bought this exact Shark robot self emptying cleaner because our dog sheds like crazy, and it works great. Mapped my house the very first time, cleaned every inch of my floors in a pattern and has some of the best suction of any robot available today. There are options on the app that will send the robot back to the base for self emptying and recharging if needed. My sister has the Irobot 9, and she is upset at how well my Shark performs. For the money, the Shark is hands down the best option on the market. My guess is the poster didn't update the app...
Ppl say its potent which is true but it also spreads the dirt everywhere and has to go back several times. I think the issue is those extending arms it has...idk but id like to save in electricity as well. I’d be nice if ppl can make a video of how long it takes a robot clean a messy floor.
I tried to order a Shark on a sale price for my wife for christmas.... For some unknown reason the store canceled my order. Honestly, I’m glad. I went and bought the i7+ after watching your videos. (I got it on sale too). Seeing your comparison videos I honestly think I would have been really disappointed in the shark. I’m glad I decided to spend the extra money on the Roomba for my first robot vacuum.
Have an s9+ and it’s amazing. Thing just works and never needs me to touch it. The bag is easy to remove and cleverly traps debris. The vacuum really helps with allergies by vacuuming every day.
I was just thinking that. I've been watching a bunch of review videos for this thing and everyone says how it docks itself every 30 minutes on the dot to empty and charge. So I was confused as to why his con was that there wasnt a sensor on the bin to tell it to empty.
Kind of strange, I got my shark IQ two days ago and it did everything it said and maybe more. It mapped the apartment in the first go which is 6 rooms. Today just testing it I sent it to two rooms only on different sides of the area it went directly there and did its job. It emptied as it should. Great job of cleaning. I wonder if you got a lemon? Anyway Im in love with mine
I've had mine for about a year and am really happy with it. When I had a problem with it (after it docked it sometimes would disconnect from the app) I called Shark and they asked me what I had tp correct the issue, (a simple off/on) they didn't hammer me with a million questions,they just sent me a replacement. I've never had a problem with the mapping, but, having said that, so what? Unless you want to tell it to clean a specific space why do you need the map. It doesn't wander around helter skelter like the iRobot I had before.
Now on the latest shark IQ, it only takes a few seconds to show that it's cleaning. I just bought it today and it's good. It's just two cons are the one bristled dual side brushes, and it does take more than 5 times to make a map.
My new shark will not self empty. It goes and links to the base, the base initiates the self cleaning protocol and when it is finished there is nothing in the base and the bin is still full.
Just bought one on black friday. It works great. The robot emptied itself 3 times on first use. I see the map and it says it might take a few times to finish the map. Sounds like this reviewer ran his through what he called stress test until he broke it. As for better robots. There might be but I got mine for 339 and the other self emptying bots cost at least twice that. And for me I wouldn't have one if I had to manually empty it. Have you seen how small the bins are? You'd have to empty the thing at least every 30 minutes. I like my shark iq and if they still had the black friday price on amazon I'd buy my entire family one and a second for myself. Oh and as for the App. Apps can be improved but this one is fine for scheduling and I have mine set up with Alexa so other than mapping and scheduling I don't really need the app.
Hey, Tech Reviews Unboxings and More! I appreciate your video and I thank you for the real-life information. Your style is friendly and I found your commentary useful in my search to find a good robot vacuum. If I may make one comment from my place as a one-time technical director and video editor... At about 6:43, you started your sign-off ("OK, well that's about it for this guy..."), but then you continued on for about two and a half minutes. You really "stretched out that closing". I know you did some editing, as I saw the jumps in the video stream and heard the slightly different audio bumps. Friendly advice: cut the early "wraps" and let your endings be your endings. :)
This is an old review so there could of been alot of issues back then. We just got ours and tried it out today. It mapped out the downstairs area 550 Sq ft perfectly in the 1st run! Then we chose different areas of the map and labeled them. Told alexa to clean that specific room (area) and it did! This robot is incredible, especially how it transitions from our hardfloor living room to the kitchen. There is a ramp and it can climb that easily. Can't say enough good things about this!
I returned mine, never even opened the box. I have allergies and I didn't like the fact it doesn't take bags. I like the fact the bags hold the dust and allergens and you just throw it away.
Interesting. I've watch a couple of videos from Vacuum Wars and they're singing the praises of this robot vacuum, ranking it better than the Roomba i7 and equal to if not slightly better in some ways than the Roomba i9. It's been a couple of months, did you go ahead and return it, or have you done any updates?
2500 square foot here. Mine empties on time. I run it daily, with 2 dogs that shed like crazy I have to. But I rarely have to break out my upright, maybe once a month to get tight corners. Mapped fine after a week.
I just got it and tried to start mapping but after 10 minutes it kept getting clogged with hair (2 cats) probably because we did not pre-vacuum the house. So I decided to map the house without vacuuming by removing the rotator brush. It does not detect it missing and runs normally, I keep the setting on ECO and let it go map the house it came back on its own to empty out and it made it back to the base (which is in another room) without hitting anything and docked, then returned back to where it left off. Boy! was that impressive.and at the hour it returned to charge flawlessly. but did not finish a map even mapping rooms multiple times Still impressive for the first time. I'll let you know when it does so I can start vacuuming!
I think you should check your fax, bought the shark self emptying system for my elderly grandmother who can’t vacuum herself and she loves it. She tells me every day on how successful Charlie is as far as the app we both love the app. The app makes perfect sense to me, my grandmother is 66 years old and she to understand the app as far as the mapping goes, ours mapped the entire basement on like the second or third run and it’s incredibly accurate again. I think you should check your fax take care
I have never had one issue with ours, lizzy picks up a ton every single one hour run and seems to empty once or twice per clean. I feel like nothing else would be much better as they all have their issues.
Well my pro on my Roomba e series is the app but the con is that it doesn't suck pet hair to it's own bin very well. So I guess I have a good reason to get this Sharp.
I cannot get mine to connect to the WiFi router. I have tried everything they say to do if it doesn't connect and it never works. Any suggestions on to fix this problem. Rebooted the router, the vacuum and the device with the app on it numerous times to no avail. I checked my router settings and the isolation setting is disabled. I do not know what else to do.
I just bought this.. I.give you the mapping is.not great. However I have 3200 sq foot house with a dog that has long hair and it emptied two.times each run so something is wrong with yours . I have been bee happy with it. It holds quite a bit before running back to.the base because I.measures it for.tbe first few runs.
Thanks for the information and review. Although the Shark is bagless the self emptying base still has a couple filters like 2-3 of them that would need to be replaced right?
if you're going to make a critical comment, maybe you should actually watch the video. at 0:59, he was referring to the large base bin. at 4:13, he was referring to the robots internal bin. Use your brain and listen to the context.
Enlighten me, WHY is it “ridiculous” to take 30 times to produce a map? Mine took 30, it still CLEANED during those runs, why does it matter. ? Self emptying bin sensor? Can’t argue, although my place is small so never had a problem.
I am having issues with mapping my house. The living space is 1300 sqft. I am with you on the mapping part. I ran it 32 times, I am about to return this crap back to Amazon.
TheBlazingBird s5 your saving a lot of money and it’s on sale rn. The main difference is that the s6 can save 3 maps but you could just run the s5 on a Jew floor and it’ll save the map there, and then you can do a run for when you need it in the floor you usually vacuum and save that map
Sorry you had problems mind map my house in two runs it returns and empties itself after 30 minutes and clean my house right under an hour 1380 something square feet is what it cleaned but unfortunately my somehow got wet and I can't get to come on right now have any suggestions about that?
David Perry Hello, I believe right now the i7+ is $200 off, also there some good prices on ebay as well. The i7+ in my opinion a descent performer despite some saying they have very little suction.
simetra it's not the best software wise currently but if you buy it now it can do the job well and later it will be better especially for the price of $350-400 which is unheard of for this type of features on a robot vacuum
Shark IQ user have you experience this types of problems? such as like he said " How do u have a self emptying robot vacuum but didnt even know when to self empty"
@@danger450 Yes and no. That's definitely true to a point, but iRobot isn't suing Shark because they think they're selling junk. If you watch this video carefully, you'll notice that all the cons have to do with the premium features, not the actual cleaning performance. Especially if you get/got this on sale, it's still a great robot vacuum for the price.
The reason why your Shark IQ mapped your home out in 2 runs is because of a software update. This video was from a year ago and when he got his Shark IQ at that time, it had no software updates at all which is why his took a long time. You got your Shark IQ 2 months ago, and at that time, there was a software update which made the mapping process faster. Hope that makes sense to you.
hmmm. "if you're not messy .... " Sounds like this guy is a pig. I still own a regular vacuum and use it for big jobs. I consider these robot vacuums to be an assistant for the daily build up. If I dump over a flower pot and the dirt is everywhere I'm not going to rely on a robot to fix the problem. I bought this thing for 3 reasons: self-empty, no bags and 1/2 the price of the only competitor. If you're a slob I suggest you skip robot anything and just hire a maid or hope your wife will pick up after you.
I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and it's great. I have a 2k square foot house and it cleans it in an hour. This thing needs the lights on in every room to make an accurate map. I got a partial map that made no sense after 8 runs, but at 12+ runs it looks very accurate. I can see the blank spots it can't go due to couches, etc. I have a few gripes, mainly with how it could be more efficient but overall it does the job and keeps the dog hair cleaned up.
@@ShineBrightStudioPhotography Mine made no sense at first either, eventually the weird bits got taken out. Now it resembles my house and I can see the vacuum getting smarter. When it finishes the hallway it now comes straight down the middle and goes right into the office, and when I tell it to return to base it goes almost straight there. It did somehow close the door and lock itself in the bathroom one time.
Only the Roborock S4 will struggle on the medium to high profile carpet from what I been hearing extractor error. There has been an update to address this. The Roborock S5 and S6 can handle these type of carpets just fine. As for a really thick shag rug, none of the Roborock can handle this.
The Shark with the bin is $399. I’d rather have one dumb robot on each floor than one better one that’s 3x the price that I have to move back and forth. Regarding the map, I got a map after two runs. The trick is you can’t have anything on the floor where it gets stuck and loses its orientation. I had a step stool where it struggled on the leg and lost orientation. What I want is Neato to have a self emptying robot. I don’t like Roomba’s they’re sickly expensive and still rely on cameras.
Tech Reviews Unboxings and More! It’s the self emptying that’s the selling point for me, otherwise I would’ve stuck with a Neato since I like being able to use it in the dark and it working better in corners. A self emptying Neato is what I would love...
@@JoeyDee86 I am sure they are re-engineering their next "D8"?, or their next one for this newer, now-expected technology. I bought the NEATO D7 when it came out , now I am waiting for NEATO to come out with a "bagging" feature. In March, it would have been 2 years since the release of the flagship D7. I always go with NEATO, for a reason.
It seems like you were predisposed to dislike this machine. I bought this machine and had the following observations: - I got a map in 8 tries. The next time I used it, I was able to set rooms up and vacuum whichever room I want. - With normal use, I've never had emptying problems. I don't dump a gallon of macaroni out like you did in your test. Maybe that would be a spoiler for me.
A stress test means you are intentionally pushing something until it fails. If I do that on anything it will eventually break or have problems. Under real world everyday use is all I care about. With that said, mine lasted 6 days and it had a drive wheel error. I called support and they had me check for debris stuck in it and there was nothing. The vacuum still looked brand new. They said to take it back to Best Buy and exchange it. When it cleaned it seemed to clean good, but it always seemed like it wasted too much time figuring out where it was. Plus mine would go in the kitchen which is vinyl flooring, but it could never transition back to the carpet and would get stuck in the kitchen area. If they updated the programming so the vacuum would map more than 80% of my apartment and made it able to transition better between carpet and hard floors it would be a lot better robot. Since mine also failed in 6 days I am very concerned about the reliability of the vacuum now too. Alternative options to this are double the money so I might just get a refund.
I think you could have more video other then just looking at a vacuum not doing anything and have your talking points written down. It just seemed dry. Sorry was just trying to help
Robo master isn't giving up on the shark but it cost so low why not hang on. It all depends on updates and this does need very little improvements but again if this does anything start a price war. It will be in courts for years until irobot will settle with shark. Irobot never stopped the others not going to stop this, self emptying bin isn't like dual brushes which they own. That part is preformed differently on both just because you came up with the idea first doesn't mean it can't be copied, (we never see that) like everything else, cars, planes, trains ect.
Irobot owns patent for dual brushes why no other ROBOT VACUMM has them, they do not own concept for ROBOT VACUMMS. Self empty bin is a idea not patentable, sharks bin preforms differently and only thing have in common is vacumm used to vacumm out another vacumm. I have done that and so has others. I would say S9 shape is a copy of Neato so much for irobot crying
@@kinglord5429 Again, not true; iRobot DOES hold a patent on the self-emptying bin, and it's written quite broadly. See this article for 3 of the 6 patents involved in the case: therobotreport.com/irobot-sues-sharkninja-patent-infringement/ Keep in mind that patents are only put into effect when ① Another company or entity tries to use the contents of a patent for commercial purposes, and ② The holders of the patent sue the infringing company or entity. If one of those two things does not happen, then the patent doesn't do anything. You personally vacuuming out your own vacuum has nothing to do with either of those points.
What will be the difference this time, shark struck first in court. Irobot has had a monopoly, not good thing anymore. Shark may have to fork over some money but i see them staying just for competition. Everyone copies everyone, how the game is played. Irobot would be smart and settle, let shark handle low end market just grabing piece of their pie and they stay high end instead if over pricing themselves out altogether. Like VCR market, Panasonic mother company made them for everyone esle mostly. Computer market, everyone mades them just paid Microsoft for os rights and even that ended
@@kinglord5429 First, it doesn't matter who sues who first in patent cases, since the language of the patent is what determines who wins. Second, it was iRobot that sued Shark first. Third, "everyone copies everyone" is exactly what patents prevent, by protecting investments companies make in R&D. This is completely different from a monopoly, because patents expire by design. It is not fair to iRobot if someone just starts copying their patented content, because they spent lots of time and money developing the technology. If Shark wants to use technology covered by iRobot's patents legally, then they must either come to an agreement with iRobot, or wait until the patent expires first. We do not yet know how the current case will turn out, but given that iRobot has banned other companies from the US for patent infringement in the past, it does not look promising for Shark. If Shark wanted to grab a piece of the pie at the low end of the market, they could have simply designed their robot without a self-emptying bin (and the other features covered by patents) just like other companies such as Roborock, and avoided patent problems entirely. Ironically, I think the Shark would've been better received that way anyways, since it's having so many problems with its mapping and self-emptying as is.
I returning mine i wish I seen this video first I got mine yesterday worked fined took 1 hour and 50 mins clean mine livingroom/bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/ my house is small but it was on 15% it stop instead going back to dock it said low battery needs charged I had click return to dock it failed it stop in front of my Fridge I got stuck so pick it up moved it,it work slowly to dock 3 hours pass on robot says full on app says 60% I click clean the app say now cleaning,the robot didn't move 3 trys later I got cant connect to robot I try for pass 3 hours the wifi is connected to robot but cant get to work spent 400 on this..going return because what u said about it might not be around long and if I going have a hard time getting it to work forget it.. it sucks the robot not bad less features for 400 bucks cant use till u clean 10 times to map house..
Don't waist money on iRobot i7 or s9 unless self emptying is important for you. I used to own i7 and s9 and overpriced for nothing. Ecovacs deebot ozmo 920 & 950 are the best robot vacuum on the market. Better navigation and better cleaning from my opinion. The direct suction is a plus as it’s very rare that robot have that. I exclusive use the direct suction. Don’t expect wonders with the moping.

I paid 200 for it. and only have a few rooms for it upstairs in my house and need another robot for downstairs.
What is the model number on this? I heard the newer models have a floor tracker sensor that massively improves mapping ability.
I have the RV1001AE, it’s great. Mapped my downstairs in 3 runs. I have it set to run 1/2 cycle, then go back and empty and run the 2nd 1/2.
No problems
PLEASE BUY THIS VACUUM, ITS THE BEST VALUE
@@nikerailfanningttm9046 I don’t know if it’s the best, but I like it. After using it I wish it had more programmable functions. Would be nice to have it vacuum a few times a day. I hope Shark adds more functions like that.
Just my 2 cents. We bought the shark and have not had any issues. Mapped my house in 4 runs and the app works great. Empties at least twice during cleaning. I recommend highly
How big is your house? We just bought on and it is on the way but our house is 3200sqft with a somewhat open floor plan in the majority of the house. I'm a bit nervous now.
My main level is 2000 square feet.. it took about 15 runs to map. I have mostly hardwood floor, and tile. I was purposely using my dyson animal 2 before I ran this to see how much dust/dirt it would collect and I couldn’t believe how my shark iq still collected. I paid 350 for it and my only wish was that I bought a 2nd one for my basement or upstairs.
FYI it says to run it in daylight or have all the lights on.. I did both, also my dogs hate it so that is really the only challenge I felt I have had.
@@0814947 my biggest issue with it is that it doesn't directly go where I tell it to. It's as if the room function doesn't work most of the time.
It never goes STRAIGHT to the rooms I tell it to clean. It's driving me nuts. Like the kitchen is to the left of it. Instead of going left, it goes towards the right half of the house. It makes no sense. And it goes beyond the room boundaries and ends up cleaning other rooms.
Jennifer Thompson I’m buying it primarily to keep the hardwood floor clean of animal fur and dust. Will this work will then? No big cleanups needed for it.
Juan Gutierrez I learned the trick haha!! You have to point it the opposite direction of where you want it to go. Works every time
Should I retest this vacuum? I bought when it first came out and had no
updates at all. I hear there have been updates and good improvements?
Thumbs up if you think I should?
Mine mapped my house in about 6 runs
Yeah you should retest - your concerns seem idiotic and maybe you’re being paid to say this
Yes please
I bought this vacuum around 2 weeks ago and it mapped my house in 3 runs. I had no issues at all, even with the self-empty feature :)
If you do, here are a few tips for the best results. Since the robot uses a camera to navigate, turning on the lights during the mapping phase helps a lot.
Also, if you have a large house, turn on echo mode (low vacuum suction) during the mapping phase. The batteries will last a long longer, so mapping will take fewer runs. My house was mapped on the first run, on normal mode.
I bought this a while ago and no regrets. I had no issues with mapping at all. In fact, I decided to toss the map and start over to include my bedroom. I don't have it clean my entire house, just the common are like kitchen, dining room, hallway, leading to our bedroom. What I like too is that it doesn't get stuck anywhere. We a have a little pug and he sheds like crazy. The robot has no issues cleaning the hair and sand no problem with our laminate flooring. Sorry his didn't work out you, but it was worth every penny for me.
ToddB987 Interesting 🤔
So if you tell it to clean one room only, does it go DIRECTLY there? And only stay there, then go back home?
Mine is driving me nuts. I'll tell it to go kitchen (left room from base), and it starts to clean to the right half of the house, instead of the kitchen which is the room DIRECTLY to the left.
Sometimes it stays within the boundaries of the selected room, other times it keeps cleaning the rest of the house randomly even though we told it to only clean one room.
I wish it would just go on a straight line to the selected room instead of wandering and cleaning other areas.
Mapping works fine on mine. Emptys itself when full then resumes cleaning. Handles 2 german shepherds. Sounds like user error.
Sounds like you need to learn better english.
@Hipolito Rodriguez You don't speak 7 languages.
@@Gabriel-i77 some new firmware updates fixed alot of these concerns mine auto empties itself about twice
Do you have problem with hair in wheels. I have to GSD that can kill a shop vac. Have two reg sharks vacs and they get clogged if i don't vac every day.
Agreed, Jay! Have a 4 bedroom home with huskies and it does just fine. It empties itself maybe only once if it's very messy then resumes where it left off. Gave me a map after 3 uses.
I'm very sad. just got a refurbished one today and it's going back. ran for 30 seconds and did the error 2 code. indicator light said it was the bumper. needsbto be cleaned....but it ran seconds and I vacuumed yesterday.....my floors are clean. so it's not dirty. also I can't remove the bumper without special tools.... sucks and I'm very sad. I begged my hubby for one for my bday and it's garbage.
Sucks you didn’t like this. I have had mine about two weeks and it works perfectly. It took about 10 runs to fully map my house. I have 3 dogs and it keeps my house clean. I didn’t have any of the problems you have expressed in your video.
Very beautiful dp picture
Mapping and emptying itself worked great for me since the very first run. I have two heavy shedding dogs, both short hair, spectacular cleaning. Love it. Only regret is to not have gotten it sooner.
Strange. I havent had any of these issues.
I bought one yesterday (May 2, 2020) with money out of my own pocket. The Shark IQ came up with a fairly accurate map on the first try. You should retest it. One critical factor is that it has a camera on top facing the ceiling and that helps it draw the map. I have very plain ceilings. What are your ceilings like?
Wow 😮 Good point!👍
Who cares how long the mapping takes? The main concern should be if it cleans or not. I don’t care how fast it runs around - it’s doing it while at work.
LOL a shout for ME ❤❤❤😎😎😎. Thanks BUD, just waiting to see if the Shark can improve after the software update, I will see in 3-6 months how the Shark has improved. Thanks Again Adam 👍
Hey there :) Could you or Adam please help me to figure this out. I am a bit confused and did not understand the "full bin" part. Does the Shark returns to the base when its bin is full or not? Maybe it was just programmed to return to the base after some time of running?
Smart Robot Reviews You are correct, the robot will return to the Dock after a certain time to evaluate and resume after a certain time limit. There no dirt full or dirt detection sensor.
May be I got mine after a software update (purchased on 11/22/19). I had none of the issues you described. As a matter of fact, it has preformed flawlessly. I will recommend the Shark to friends and family.
Mine mapped my house accurately on its first run. It probably isn’t up to par with the expensive I-series Roomba, but for the price it works and cleans quite well.
Hey David. I think yours mapped your home in 1 run because you have the 2nd Generation Shark IQ. The second gen Shark IQ has a floor tracker, which isn’t present on the model Adam has in the video (He retested a Shark IQ which had a floor tracker). That is why yours can map your home in 1 run, instead of 30-40.
@@MrBlueCreeper Didn’t know about that. Thanks for the info.
@@dimbulb6443 you’re welcome. :)
I didn’t have the issues you’re saying either. Mine does empty when it’s full. It mapped after 15 runs.
Got mine at Best Buy at Christmas, never have any problems, I have 2 cats, hard wood floors. I bet it's the operator.
We have a 110lb long hair Great Pyrenees indoor dog. If I don't upright vacuum every day then I get those puffy white clouds everywhere. A "normal" upright vac will end up with a horribly wrapped roller. That is how bad the hair can get.
My Shark IQ has almost freed me from the task. Now I upright vacuum the stairs and crevices only once a month. The Shark has very much improved my quality of life. I still get an occasional small hair wrap in the middle of the roller from time to time but its nothing compared to the hassle it all was. I can delete the map in the app and it begins to rebuild itself after the first cleaning. The map completes after about 15 runs and I can zone the rooms.
My house is about 1,700 sqft and I set it to empty more often and never had a problem. I keep the suction on high and it runs for about an hour and ten minutes before returning to base for about two hours and finish the edging. It has never not found its base.
I think it's too bad this author chooses to utterly trash such a great product.
Still recommend it after a year?
@@BoleDaPole Yes, absolutely
I have a 2100 sq ft house, and it works fine. No problems. The app is basic, sure, but it gets the job done, what else do you need? It shows the map, you can schedule cleaning, rooms, etc.
i've had mine for a very long time and love it. I did notice that it does not map an area which is not in reach of the base unit. As an example, when I bring it up to the second floor or basement of my house and the base unit is on the main floor, it will not map out the 2nd floor or basement
I just wanted to put my two cents in. We've had one for a couple weeks now and I havent found many of these issues.. I have a map of my house after about 15 cleanings. The app works fine for me at least so far. It's not meant for a heavy use in my opinion. Still waiting to see what the rest of ownership brings but for now I love it.
Thanks, Glad you like it.
@@AdamsReviews No problem! I agree with the sensor to tell if the internal dustbin is full is a little ridiculous. I dont have anything to compare it to although I've been satisfied so far. Sometimes it can be a little difficult for the robot to find the dock but otherwise that's been the only complaint I have so far. Still was a useful review!
I am glad that I did not see this before I got my shark. I Love it.
2000 sqft house and two cats, no issues. It maps fast, cleans good, and when it gets full it goes back to the dock and then keeps cleaning.
Yes, the mapping is terrible. Mine mapped my smallish 1st floor after about 30 runs, but there is a strange extra area showing on the map that doesn't exist. That said, I have 3 dogs and the both the Neato and Roborock often get bins overfull before they finish cleaning, so the self emptying bin is nice. It doesn't seem to fill very fast, so I'm wondering if it's cleaning as well as the other two that get bins jammed full of debris. I have not done any objective testing, but of the 3, Neato seems to pick up the most dirt and Roborock is by far the best at navigation. And the Shark is just plain dumb, but gets the job done but it never has an over-full bin.
TLDR, not as good overall as competitors that cost 2-3x more, but software updates have come and are coming to improve it. Still a solid robot vacuum for the less affluent.
Yes, the Shark has deficiencies when you compare to a vacuum that costs 2-3x more. But, in my opinion, those deficiencies can be addressed via software tweaks and updates. I believe they are relatively new to the robot vacuum market and have been pretty good at updating it so far. I've owned mine for about a month and it did take about 15 or so runs to learn my maze-like 1800 sqft home, but it did generate a map and now it works great. I'd be hesitant spending $500+ on ANY vacuum, but sales happen all the time. I picked mine up from Kohls for just over $300, and I have no regrets. The app was very crash prone the first couple of weeks, but a big update came out and I don't have that problem anymore. I hear they are also planning to add new features such as no-go zones in the near future.
Any word on the no go zones or do I have to buy the magnetic tape still?
I bought this exact Shark robot self emptying cleaner because our dog sheds like crazy, and it works great. Mapped my house the very first time, cleaned every inch of my floors in a pattern and has some of the best suction of any robot available today. There are options on the app that will send the robot back to the base for self emptying and recharging if needed. My sister has the Irobot 9, and she is upset at how well my Shark performs. For the money, the Shark is hands down the best option on the market. My guess is the poster didn't update the app...
Ppl say its potent which is true but it also spreads the dirt everywhere and has to go back several times. I think the issue is those extending arms it has...idk but id like to save in electricity as well. I’d be nice if ppl can make a video of how long it takes a robot clean a messy floor.
I tried to order a Shark on a sale price for my wife for christmas.... For some unknown reason the store canceled my order. Honestly, I’m glad. I went and bought the i7+ after watching your videos. (I got it on sale too). Seeing your comparison videos I honestly think I would have been really disappointed in the shark. I’m glad I decided to spend the extra money on the Roomba for my first robot vacuum.
What model Shark is this? No mention of it, nor is there a link in the description. Pls be through.
Have an s9+ and it’s amazing. Thing just works and never needs me to touch it. The bag is easy to remove and cleverly traps debris. The vacuum really helps with allergies by vacuuming every day.
Not all of us have $1100 to spend on a vacuum
Sounds like a condemnation of this model only; not all robo vacuumcleaners? Have you found a model that you like?
Incorrect information...the vacuum does empty itself between runs and then resume cleaning after it is done emptying its bin.
Maybe his mom shut off his wifi.....something fishy about the reviewer to me.
I was just thinking that. I've been watching a bunch of review videos for this thing and everyone says how it docks itself every 30 minutes on the dot to empty and charge.
So I was confused as to why his con was that there wasnt a sensor on the bin to tell it to empty.
Just got the shark iq yesterday, It mapped my house first time cleaning. . My main level is 1,000 sf. Got it $400 Canadian.
Kind of strange, I got my shark IQ two days ago and it did everything it said and maybe more. It mapped the apartment in the first go which is 6 rooms. Today just testing it I sent it to two rooms only on different sides of the area it went directly there and did its job. It emptied as it should. Great job of cleaning. I wonder if you got a lemon? Anyway Im in love with mine
I've had mine for about a year and am really happy with it. When I had a problem with it (after it docked it sometimes would disconnect from the app) I called Shark and they asked me what I had tp correct the issue, (a simple off/on) they didn't hammer me with a million questions,they just sent me a replacement. I've never had a problem with the mapping, but, having said that, so what? Unless you want to tell it to clean a specific space why do you need the map. It doesn't wander around helter skelter like the iRobot I had before.
dude the map feature is bugged, if you wait for a little longer it loads and lets you go to the next page /log source: 3 runs and map
i think deboot vacuum 950 is the best
Now on the latest shark IQ, it only takes a few seconds to show that it's cleaning. I just bought it today and it's good. It's just two cons are the one bristled dual side brushes, and it does take more than 5 times to make a map.
oh yeah and it looks like a toilet lol
My new shark will not self empty. It goes and links to the base, the base initiates the self cleaning protocol and when it is finished there is nothing in the base and the bin is still full.
Just bought one on black friday. It works great. The robot emptied itself 3 times on first use. I see the map and it says it might take a few times to finish the map. Sounds like this reviewer ran his through what he called stress test until he broke it.
As for better robots. There might be but I got mine for 339 and the other self emptying bots cost at least twice that. And for me I wouldn't have one if I had to manually empty it. Have you seen how small the bins are? You'd have to empty the thing at least every 30 minutes.
I like my shark iq and if they still had the black friday price on amazon I'd buy my entire family one and a second for myself.
Oh and as for the App. Apps can be improved but this one is fine for scheduling and I have mine set up with Alexa so other than mapping and scheduling I don't really need the app.
I got it right when it came out...possible they made some updates? Glad yours is working well.
@@AdamsReviews They did a major update last week. Mine has yet to have an issue
Hey, Tech Reviews Unboxings and More! I appreciate your video and I thank you for the real-life information. Your style is friendly and I found your commentary useful in my search to find a good robot vacuum.
If I may make one comment from my place as a one-time technical director and video editor... At about 6:43, you started your sign-off ("OK, well that's about it for this guy..."), but then you continued on for about two and a half minutes. You really "stretched out that closing". I know you did some editing, as I saw the jumps in the video stream and heard the slightly different audio bumps. Friendly advice: cut the early "wraps" and let your endings be your endings. :)
This is an old review so there could of been alot of issues back then. We just got ours and tried it out today. It mapped out the downstairs area 550 Sq ft perfectly in the 1st run! Then we chose different areas of the map and labeled them. Told alexa to clean that specific room (area) and it did! This robot is incredible, especially how it transitions from our hardfloor living room to the kitchen. There is a ramp and it can climb that easily. Can't say enough good things about this!
Mine won't doc from carpet at all. I put down the plastic docking matt and it cannot get past the docking matt without the wheels slipping on it
We bought a Shark IQ for Christmas. We think it's great. Nice time saver. Works as advertised.
I returned mine, never even opened the box. I have allergies and I didn't like the fact it doesn't take bags. I like the fact the bags hold the dust and allergens and you just throw it away.
I agree
Interesting. I've watch a couple of videos from Vacuum Wars and they're singing the praises of this robot vacuum, ranking it better than the Roomba i7 and equal to if not slightly better in some ways than the Roomba i9. It's been a couple of months, did you go ahead and return it, or have you done any updates?
Vacuum wars helped design the shark IQ...Thats why....I am actually retesting it with a new unit.
You missed the part where the Vacuum War guy says he has worked for Shark
2500 square foot here. Mine empties on time. I run it daily, with 2 dogs that shed like crazy I have to. But I rarely have to break out my upright, maybe once a month to get tight corners. Mapped fine after a week.
I just got it and tried to start mapping but after 10 minutes it kept getting clogged with hair (2 cats) probably because we did not pre-vacuum the house. So I decided to map the house without vacuuming by removing the rotator brush. It does not detect it missing and runs normally, I keep the setting on ECO and let it go map the house it came back on its own to empty out and it made it back to the base (which is in another room) without hitting anything and docked, then returned back to where it left off. Boy! was that impressive.and at the hour it returned to charge flawlessly. but did not finish a map even mapping rooms multiple times Still impressive for the first time. I'll let you know when it does so I can start vacuuming!
Needs an update review as this is working well now
I think you should check your fax, bought the shark self emptying system for my elderly grandmother who can’t vacuum herself and she loves it. She tells me every day on how successful Charlie is as far as the app we both love the app. The app makes perfect sense to me, my grandmother is 66 years old and she to understand the app as far as the mapping goes, ours mapped the entire basement on like the second or third run and it’s incredibly accurate again. I think you should check your fax take care
I have never had one issue with ours, lizzy picks up a ton every single one hour run and seems to empty once or twice per clean. I feel like nothing else would be much better as they all have their issues.
Got one for Christmas, still not napped the house. Also, goes back to recharge and doesn’t come back out. Not sure we will keep it.
For sure take it back and get something better.
I’ll only miss it for the calming sound but the i7 is good enough at calming
But the DYSON IS NOT OMG YOU CAN EVEN HEAR IT IN THE BASMENT XD
The mapping barely works for me either, but if you’re chill with it just cleaning the entire house then yea it’s worth it.
Well my pro on my Roomba e series is the app but the con is that it doesn't suck pet hair to it's own bin very well. So I guess I have a good reason to get this Sharp.
I cannot get mine to connect to the WiFi router. I have tried everything they say to do if it doesn't connect and it never works. Any suggestions on to fix this problem. Rebooted the router, the vacuum and the device with the app on it numerous times to no avail. I checked my router settings and the isolation setting is disabled. I do not know what else to do.
I just bought this.. I.give you the mapping is.not great. However I have 3200 sq foot house with a dog that has long hair and it emptied two.times each run so something is wrong with yours .
I have been bee happy with it. It holds quite a bit before running back to.the base because I.measures it for.tbe first few runs.
glad it's working out for ya.
What is the model of this vacuum?
Did you retested it?
Thanks for the information and review. Although the Shark is bagless the self emptying base still has a couple filters like 2-3 of them that would need to be replaced right?
Yes here is a couple. but probably rarely needs to be replaced.
I have two as I have two floors and we have 3 dogs and a cat. Love mine, works perfectly.
Sorry about your luck...mine works fine...as a matter fact.. i'm going to drink beer and BBQ, while Shark's working..
So did you purposely purchase this unit new or is this one of the return units from your return buying spree?
0:59 "this thing (the bin) will hold a ton of dirt and dust"
4:13 "the bin is very small"
...If you're gonna make a review make up your mind
if you're going to make a critical comment, maybe you should actually watch the video. at 0:59, he was referring to the large base bin. at 4:13, he was referring to the robots internal bin. Use your brain and listen to the context.
@@himabimdimwim
Enlighten me, WHY is it “ridiculous” to take 30 times to produce a map? Mine took 30, it still CLEANED during those runs, why does it matter. ? Self emptying bin sensor? Can’t argue, although my place is small so never had a problem.
Paulous because others can do it in one or two times. Why does it need 30 and people still says it’s inaccurate. I’m glad you like yours though
I am having issues with mapping my house. The living space is 1300 sqft. I am with you on the mapping part. I ran it 32 times, I am about to return this crap back to Amazon.
I would highly recommend you do that..it really isnt that good.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU HAD THIS FOR
Which robot vacuum should I get? Roborock s5 or s6
TheBlazingBird s5 your saving a lot of money and it’s on sale rn. The main difference is that the s6 can save 3 maps but you could just run the s5 on a Jew floor and it’ll save the map there, and then you can do a run for when you need it in the floor you usually vacuum and save that map
Neither the best ones on the market rn is the shark iq robot and the neato d7
Sorry you had problems mind map my house in two runs it returns and empties itself after 30 minutes and clean my house right under an hour 1380 something square feet is what it cleaned but unfortunately my somehow got wet and I can't get to come on right now have any suggestions about that?
I much rather save up and get a Roomba i7+.
David Perry Hello, I believe right now the i7+ is $200 off, also there some good prices on ebay as well. The i7+ in my opinion a descent performer despite some saying they have very little suction.
No don’t do it. The suction is bad. Look at the actual TH-cam videos of the suction compared to the Shark.
What vacuuming robot would you reccomend? I have four short hair dogs that lay a carpet over my wood floors everyday
Lingox5 get this people aren't using it right
The Empowerer how are they using it wrong?
simetra it's not the best software wise currently but if you buy it now it can do the job well and later it will be better especially for the price of $350-400 which is unheard of for this type of features on a robot vacuum
Mine has ran for almost 2 hours on 1 charge. I didn't get the empty bin. I just stop it and empty it every now and then.
Shark IQ user have you experience this types of problems? such as like he said " How do u have a self emptying robot vacuum but didnt even know when to self empty"
My machine cleans each time it goes back to the station
Can you check the sticker on the base and tell me if this is 110v or 110~220v?
Would be interested to know as well..
wish you included the model
Yes I am trying to see which one it is
How do you feel about iRobot 675
Help! After a few weeks of it working great, it doesn't empty into the bin. The dust just builds in the robot!!!!
I tried to warn everyone...its a bad robot. If you can return it I would and get something else.
Most things that intentionally advertise themselves as "Half price of the good one" are usually trash.
danger450 meh
Well when the good ones overpriced in the first place it's not hard to believe
@@tangerinetech5300 Quality costs money.
@@danger450 Yes and no. That's definitely true to a point, but iRobot isn't suing Shark because they think they're selling junk. If you watch this video carefully, you'll notice that all the cons have to do with the premium features, not the actual cleaning performance. Especially if you get/got this on sale, it's still a great robot vacuum for the price.
I want to get one but first I want to know will it run without wifi? Like can you just push a button and let it go without the app or wifi
It runs without wifi.. but now wish I wouldn't have got it
Haven't had any trouble with mine
Forget the app. Forget the map. Just turn it it on and let it clean your house and quit your bitchin.
i just got one and got a map that is really good in 2 runs. just fyi not sure what you did.
The reason why your Shark IQ mapped your home out in 2 runs is because of a software update. This video was from a year ago and when he got his Shark IQ at that time, it had no software updates at all which is why his took a long time. You got your Shark IQ 2 months ago, and at that time, there was a software update which made the mapping process faster. Hope that makes sense to you.
Thanks for the review, but you need to present the info more dynamic. It was hard to watch your video all the way through.
What do you mean? Please let me know what you would want to see
hmmm. "if you're not messy .... " Sounds like this guy is a pig. I still own a regular vacuum and use it for big jobs. I consider these robot vacuums to be an assistant for the daily build up. If I dump over a flower pot and the dirt is everywhere I'm not going to rely on a robot to fix the problem. I bought this thing for 3 reasons: self-empty, no bags and 1/2 the price of the only competitor. If you're a slob I suggest you skip robot anything and just hire a maid or hope your wife will pick up after you.
"How do you have a self-emptying robot vacuum when it doesn't know when to empty" lol
I want deebot t8+ but not a shark
I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and it's great. I have a 2k square foot house and it cleans it in an hour. This thing needs the lights on in every room to make an accurate map. I got a partial map that made no sense after 8 runs, but at 12+ runs it looks very accurate. I can see the blank spots it can't go due to couches, etc. I have a few gripes, mainly with how it could be more efficient but overall it does the job and keeps the dog hair cleaned up.
My map made no sense to I had a Extra map on the bottom of the map
@@ShineBrightStudioPhotography Mine made no sense at first either, eventually the weird bits got taken out. Now it resembles my house and I can see the vacuum getting smarter. When it finishes the hallway it now comes straight down the middle and goes right into the office, and when I tell it to return to base it goes almost straight there. It did somehow close the door and lock itself in the bathroom one time.
Thanks, ever have an issue with the side brush getting caught on higher pole shag like carpets?
On Roborock
Only the Roborock S4 will struggle on the medium to high profile carpet from what I been hearing extractor error. There has been an update to address this. The Roborock S5 and S6 can handle these type of carpets just fine. As for a really thick shag rug, none of the Roborock can handle this.
I'm taking mine back today, I've cleaned all the sensors, and it keeps telling me to move location, to close to a cliff
I would if I were you.
@@AdamsReviews how do you feel about the shark ion?
Love it and I am Buying it because you did this video 1 year ago so maybe it is better
That would be a mistake.
The Shark with the bin is $399. I’d rather have one dumb robot on each floor than one better one that’s 3x the price that I have to move back and forth.
Regarding the map, I got a map after two runs. The trick is you can’t have anything on the floor where it gets stuck and loses its orientation. I had a step stool where it struggled on the leg and lost orientation.
What I want is Neato to have a self emptying robot. I don’t like Roomba’s they’re sickly expensive and still rely on cameras.
Joe if you’re going to spend 399 definitely get the Robo rock S5 it is superior
Tech Reviews Unboxings and More! It’s the self emptying that’s the selling point for me, otherwise I would’ve stuck with a Neato since I like being able to use it in the dark and it working better in corners. A self emptying Neato is what I would love...
@@JoeyDee86 I am sure they are re-engineering their next "D8"?, or their next one for this newer, now-expected technology. I bought the NEATO D7 when it came out , now I am waiting for NEATO to come out with a "bagging" feature. In March, it would have been 2 years since the release of the flagship D7. I always go with NEATO, for a reason.

@@oneloveboo1 I do not. I got many years out of my Original NEATO, then went with a D7 a couple of years ago when they were recently introduced.

Quick question was yours loud when cleaning? Mine makes all sorts of loud noises and I just got it
I believe it was quiet on carpet but pretty loud on hard surfaces...
Does it have no go zones you can put on and off?
According to the Vacuum Wars channel, Shark is planning to release an update including no go zones, but there is no word on when this will happen.
It seems like you were predisposed to dislike this machine. I bought this machine and had the following observations:
- I got a map in 8 tries. The next time I used it, I was able to set rooms up and vacuum whichever room I want.
- With normal use, I've never had emptying problems.
I don't dump a gallon of macaroni out like you did in your test. Maybe that would be a spoiler for me.
True but remember this testing was done back in NOV 2019....Hopefully yours is working better because of some updates and it was just a stress test.
@@AdamsReviews Fair point I guess.
I DISAGREE with all your cons. My shark napped my house in 7 runs and works awesome, I like it a lot.
Would you buy a shark ion for $35?
That’s pretty cheap. If it works good it would be hard to pass up.
@@AdamsReviews that's what I was thinking. Might suck but it's so cheap you might as well.
A stress test means you are intentionally pushing something until it fails. If I do that on anything it will eventually break or have problems. Under real world everyday use is all I care about.
With that said, mine lasted 6 days and it had a drive wheel error. I called support and they had me check for debris stuck in it and there was nothing. The vacuum still looked brand new. They said to take it back to Best Buy and exchange it. When it cleaned it seemed to clean good, but it always seemed like it wasted too much time figuring out where it was. Plus mine would go in the kitchen which is vinyl flooring, but it could never transition back to the carpet and would get stuck in the kitchen area. If they updated the programming so the vacuum would map more than 80% of my apartment and made it able to transition better between carpet and hard floors it would be a lot better robot. Since mine also failed in 6 days I am very concerned about the reliability of the vacuum now too. Alternative options to this are double the money so I might just get a refund.
Get a roomba...they last and are worth the extra money.
I think you could have more video other then just looking at a vacuum not doing anything and have your talking points written down. It just seemed dry. Sorry was just trying to help
Robo master isn't giving up on the shark but it cost so low why not hang on. It all depends on updates and this does need very little improvements but again if this does anything start a price war. It will be in courts for years until irobot will settle with shark. Irobot never stopped the others not going to stop this, self emptying bin isn't like dual brushes which they own. That part is preformed differently on both just because you came up with the idea first doesn't mean it can't be copied, (we never see that) like everything else, cars, planes, trains ect.
Not true that iRobot never stopped others; go read up on the battle with bObsweep. If patents are infringed, there WILL be consequences.
Irobot owns patent for dual brushes why no other ROBOT VACUMM has them, they do not own concept for ROBOT VACUMMS. Self empty bin is a idea not patentable, sharks bin preforms differently and only thing have in common is vacumm used to vacumm out another vacumm. I have done that and so has others. I would say S9 shape is a copy of Neato so much for irobot crying
@@kinglord5429 Again, not true; iRobot DOES hold a patent on the self-emptying bin, and it's written quite broadly. See this article for 3 of the 6 patents involved in the case: therobotreport.com/irobot-sues-sharkninja-patent-infringement/ Keep in mind that patents are only put into effect when ① Another company or entity tries to use the contents of a patent for commercial purposes, and ② The holders of the patent sue the infringing company or entity. If one of those two things does not happen, then the patent doesn't do anything. You personally vacuuming out your own vacuum has nothing to do with either of those points.
What will be the difference this time, shark struck first in court. Irobot has had a monopoly, not good thing anymore. Shark may have to fork over some money but i see them staying just for competition. Everyone copies everyone, how the game is played. Irobot would be smart and settle, let shark handle low end market just grabing piece of their pie and they stay high end instead if over pricing themselves out altogether. Like VCR market, Panasonic mother company made them for everyone esle mostly. Computer market, everyone mades them just paid Microsoft for os rights and even that ended
@@kinglord5429 First, it doesn't matter who sues who first in patent cases, since the language of the patent is what determines who wins. Second, it was iRobot that sued Shark first. Third, "everyone copies everyone" is exactly what patents prevent, by protecting investments companies make in R&D. This is completely different from a monopoly, because patents expire by design. It is not fair to iRobot if someone just starts copying their patented content, because they spent lots of time and money developing the technology. If Shark wants to use technology covered by iRobot's patents legally, then they must either come to an agreement with iRobot, or wait until the patent expires first. We do not yet know how the current case will turn out, but given that iRobot has banned other companies from the US for patent infringement in the past, it does not look promising for Shark. If Shark wanted to grab a piece of the pie at the low end of the market, they could have simply designed their robot without a self-emptying bin (and the other features covered by patents) just like other companies such as Roborock, and avoided patent problems entirely. Ironically, I think the Shark would've been better received that way anyways, since it's having so many problems with its mapping and self-emptying as is.
I don't have internet at home, only on my phone. Can I still use this ?
No, you need wifi
I returning mine i wish I seen this video first I got mine yesterday worked fined took 1 hour and 50 mins clean mine livingroom/bedroom/bathroom/kitchen/ my house is small but it was on 15% it stop instead going back to dock it said low battery needs charged I had click return to dock it failed it stop in front of my Fridge I got stuck so pick it up moved it,it work slowly to dock 3 hours pass on robot says full on app says 60% I click clean the app say now cleaning,the robot didn't move 3 trys later I got cant connect to robot I try for pass 3 hours the wifi is connected to robot but cant get to work spent 400 on this..going return because what u said about it might not be around long and if I going have a hard time getting it to work forget it.. it sucks the robot not bad less features for 400 bucks cant use till u clean 10 times to map house..
It's a great product but needs more work with the app it wasn't ready for sale
So far it's doing great, no issues like above, except a little slow mapping,
Which non-roomba vacuum do you recommend for a house which is 90% carpeted?
deebot ozmo 920 or 950
Don't waist money on iRobot i7 or s9 unless self emptying is important for you. I used to own i7 and s9 and overpriced for nothing.
Ecovacs deebot ozmo 920 & 950 are the best robot vacuum on the market. Better navigation and better cleaning from my opinion. The direct suction is a plus as it’s very rare that robot have that. I exclusive use the direct suction.
Don’t expect wonders with the moping.
