Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base, Bagless, 60-Day Capacity, LIDAR Navigation, Perfect for Pet Hair, Compatible with Alexa, Wi-Fi Connected, Carpet & Hard Floor, Black

I chose this to replace my less smart random motion robot. I wanted something a little more organized and with good suction for my carpet. This guy (“Wall-E”) made a pretty great map his first run. I was worried because a lot of reviews said he never does a good job on their map. I followed the setup instructions and he made a full “checking the scene out” run without having to be recharged and the map is accurate. Wall-e does tend to get stuck on things and shut down which is annoying when I’m at work and can’t do anything about it until he’s fully dead. At least he shuts himself down and doesn’t hurt himself trying to get free. But it’s my fault for not picking little things up. keep his path clear and he will do a great job for you. He does a great job on my carpet and wood floors. No problems with rugs. He doesn’t like my sliding glass door trays but he can navigate them ok just gets a little hung up. The emptying mechanism is great. Loud for any night-time use but I don’t use it at night anyway. I’ve done specific rooms once and it worked for me (other reviews were negative on this feature) but I think that has to do with the map. If the map isn’t right then it won’t work. No complaints with the battery life I haven’t really timed it out but my 2800 sq ft house can be done with maybe 1-2 battery charges and it takes a few hours. I would buy this again and recommend it to my family looking for one.

So far Im loving this. It does a much better job than I expected it to. Its mapped the house and just goes about its business. It does take awhile, but worth it.

Overall: For fur-shedding pet owners - This is a great option to keep the day-to-day fur buildup under control, but does not substitute for deep cleaning, and does require removing excess fur buildup on the brushes and rollers every 3-5 days. Let me set the stage: We have two long-haired golden retrievers and they shed a massive amount of fur. We have a mix of hardwood and carpets and if we dont vacuum for a few days we start getting fur-tumbleweeds. We thought we would give this Shark Robot vacuum a try and overall I am very pleased with it. The AI technology is very impressive. It mapped out our 2,200 sq ft single story home in about 25 minutes and didnt even need to run around all of the edges in the space to map out details like island counters, couches, table legs, etc. Since then it has run once per day and we have noticed a significant shift in the amount of fur we are seeing on the floors. It takes about 90 minutes to run through the approved 1,200 sq ft vacuum space in the house. It transitions from hardwood to carpet and over doorways without issue. Im shocked at how it can navigate under side tables and couches that have as little as 1/4 clearance on top/sides! It has ventured into rooms when doors are left open that it wasnt mapped to go into on occasion, which is my only knock on it. As expected, I have to flip it over and cut the dog fur thats wrapped around the brushes out every 3-5 days. If we didnt have pets with long fur I cant imagine Id ever have to do this and have had to clean fur from brushes on even the most expensive or regular vacuums. This so far (after 1 month) has been well worth the investment!

I am shocked at how well this Shark robot works! It is better than my swiffer and vacuum. I have 2 yellow Labradors and this is great to keep the floors looking good! I wish I bought this sooner!

Having to use two canes it is difficult to use a regular vacuum. Now I just tell Hazel to do it for me. She does a good job. I havent tried her with Alexa yet but will soon. I highly recommend the Shark AI based on value.

I bought a rumba 03+ I had nothing but trouble with it. So I bought the shark and it’s been just a fabulous machine. It’s very reliable. It does a good job and I’ve had no problem with it too. I would recommend it to anyone who never wants to push The vacuum around their house again

I dont know what i did before we had Carl. Carl has become part of our house, one dog dont care, the other dog runs away from it, and the cat attacks it, but even after all of that torment Carl sucks it up and keeps cleaning. Sometimes Carl gets a little drunk and runs in circles, but for the most part does an amazing job at tracking its routes and cleaning in an efficient manner.

I havent had my Shark robot long, but its put in a lot of hours in a short time. I have dogs, a dirt yard and my own hair has been known to kill old-version robot vacuums in no time. Based on the notifications I must not be the only one. If you forget to check the wheels for hair, no worries, the shark will stop vacuuming and let you know when its time to clean the hair out of the wheels. The spinning wheel pops right out and is easy to clean and the spinning brush has a door making it easy to remove and clean the hair out of. It also lets you know when the bin is full, so no stress about forgetting to check it. My expectations for the mop were pretty low. How much scrubbing power can this thing really put into my floors? I was pleasantly surprised. It did better than expected. Yes, I will have to mop myself, but this is great for in-between mops. The vacuum works well on hard floors and is pretty decent on carpets. It picks up short dog hair well but sometimes drags longer hair across the carpet. Im not complaining, I wake up to carpet lines and clean floors every day and I only have physically push a vacuum once a week now. Worth every cent!

I’ve only had it for a few hours so I’ll only put 4 stars until I’ve had it longer and can better vouch for it but… I love it!! It’s amazing. As a working mom with a toddler, dog and spouse gone, it’s amazing to have this one thing off my plate and it makes me feel better about the condition the house is in every day. It’s gone over one small toy (a wooden shape) and made sound and just left it behind but I’m sure I’ll run into more issues in the future but I only expect so much out of it. It’s fairly quiet and I went over the area I did a test spot cleaning on with my dyson and didn’t really pick anything up. For something with this much function and so small I’m impressed.

The vacuum robot is very good on cleaning and it goes back to charge and finish the house
