Shark AV1010AE IQ Robot Vacuum with XL Self-Empty Base, Bagless, 45-Day Capacity, Advanced Navigation, Alexa & Wi-Fi, Multi-Surface Brushroll, for Pets, Dander & Dust, Carpet & Hard Floor, Black

Buckle up, buttercups, this isn't a short review but it is an honest one. First, the packaging is so thorough and well designed that you could drop the box off a balcony and it would probably be okay. This box is packed better than TSA-approved luggage. Unboxing was smooth and quick - within five minutes of ripping off the tape like it owes me money, the robot was charging and almost ready to go. The robot itself is beefy. Larger than my previous Shark but it also offers better design and suction power. Remarkably quiet despite it's size and capability. The robot sucked up a ten inch long butcher's twine and didn't hesitate to continue. In fact, I'm pretty certain I heard dust bunnies bid farewell to their wives because this Spartan of a robot had arrived. The roller turns to the beat of war drums... war on dirt. Wifi setup was fast and painless, but you do need to be VERY CLOSE for the connection to register. The app is simple and allows spot cleaning, zone definition, and remote commands. For under $200 I am very pleased and will recommend this to anyone who needs a vacuum robot. The age of upright vacuums is over. Rejoice!

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 am SO impressed with this little robo vacuum! I did a lot of research before purchasing as we have a dog who sheds a lot, and this truly does live up to the reviews. We have carpeted floor and it's able to pull a lot of the hair out of the carpet. If you run it once a day or every other day with a shedding dog, you will be in good shape. It mapped our entire floor perfectly in the first run. I was blown away. The technology has come so far! The app is clean and intuitive. It also makes setting up the Shark very easy. After it is finished mapping, you can add labels to each room, and schedule it to run at certain times, and in the rooms that you choose. If it gets full while it's doing the cleaning session, it will find its way back to the docking station, empty the dust and dirt, and then go back to wherever it left off. The only downside is that it can only map one floor in your house. If you're in a two story house, you can still use it on other floors by moving it to the floor you want to clean, and pressing the "clean" button on top of the vacuum, but you won't be able to do this from the app. It is fairly quiet, and has a low profile. It's able to sneak under beds and tight to reach places very well. Battery life seems great and no concerns there. The docking station is small enough that it isn't an eyesore. It comes with a nice little mat that the robot drives onto. When the robot docks itself, empties into the docking reservoir after a few seconds. This part is fairly loud, but only lasts a few seconds. For the money, you truly can't beat this powerful little robot!

Sold to the uk, but with a us plug and suitable for 120v 60hz. So totally useless. And now they’re refusing to return it. Advert says 240vac and the questions say it’s a uk plug. But it’s just a plain lie. Not clear whether I’ll get my £750 back. Totally disgusting

This product has a US power plug and requires 110V 60Hz supply.
