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

This has definite improvements in navigation from the older models. This robot goes right to the correct room to vacuum without bouncing off walls and furniture. It is louder than the older model.

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

I have a long haired shepherd and long haired cat. I have hardwood floors with area rugs. This shark...I named Meg is exactly what I needed. Comes with solid instructions for set up. It scoops up mounds of hair from the animals. It goes over thick area rugs perfectly. I have had for 3 days and so far...I wonder what I did without it.

Love the way this unit operates and it does a great job, even into the corners. It runs smoothly and has great features to set cleaning schedules, map the home, and direct clean certain trouble areas. It picks up pet hair and random pieces of kitty litter (tossed out by the cat) with ease.

I had been contemplating upgrading my iRobot 670 for some time. It wasn’t really doing the job. I have 2 dogs, both heavy shedders. Working full-time and going to school full time I wanted something to help maintain a clean floor. This isn’t a replacement for a regular vacuum but it really comes close and does a great job. The mapping created during initial exploration is very accurate and the robot follows it each time. The floor upon which it roams is probably 90% low pile carpet (the bane of my existence until I can replace it with vinyl plank). Keep in mind, if there are any loose threads they will get caught. This is common for me because my husky and German shepherd so if I see one, I cut it to avoid that problem. For those who are terrible at cable management such as myself, it will normally navigate around or over cords though I would keep them clear. Small cables like mini USB or charging cables can get sucked up. It has three suction modes (eco, normal and max). For my purposes I always use Max and it’s not incredibly noisy. It is far quieter than my old Roomba. I can still watch tv comfortably and hear perfectly fine while its running. The self-emptying bin works great. Some complain it’s loud but it’s not that bad, and c’mon, it only takes about 10 seconds. The first couple times I ran it, I had to manually empty the dust cup on the robot because of dog hair. I think it was just finding more than I got with my regular vacuum. Now, running it once daily I haven’t had to do it. Oh, another great thing about this robot is the roller. Dog hair will not get caught in it !! With my old Roomba, I had to de-hair the roller after each use. Overall, this unit was significantly more than I ever wanted to pay, but so far it’s been worth it because of its efficiency and low maintenance. I’m really happy that I pulled the trigger.

My new Shark, Roberto, saves me a lot of time! While he is cleaning, I can do other things! The mapping was easy and he seems to get more thorough each time he cleans. I love the hepa filter as we have bad allergies and this is helping eliminate dust. Also love that he empties himself!! Highly recommend!

After a couple months with the Shark, I can safely say this: its great for daily carpet maintenance. Its quiet, thorough, and at max power the vacuum gets...about 90% of whats in its path. Is that disappointing? Not really. This is my first robot vacuum, and running this guy 5 mornings a week has my carpets looking cleaner than ever. It rarely gets stuck, has never gotten lost, and the base really does hold weeks of debris without needing emptied. Overall definitely worth the purchase. Some other quick takeaways: - If you have multiple levels (stairs) in your home your options are to either get multiple Sharks, carry it down to the level away from its base and manually start it (itll do the room, and return to where I started), or install a Roomba ramp. We went with the latter (pictured), and the little guy finds his way down to the living room each morning. - Itll get hung up around any obstructions lower than 4 inches or so. It eventually finds its way, but watching it bump around can be frustrating - The mop. Utterly useless. It basically vacuums while shimmying a wet microfiber cloth behind it. When the mop is installed, any carpet will get it stuck, so youve got the designate no-go areas. Filling and cleaning the reservoir is as much if not more hassle than filling a mop bucket. Its a Shark 1-in-1 for me. - Deep clean is cool. Drop it where you need extra cleaning, and itll work a 5x5 grid front and back, side to side. - The app is pretty cool, letting you visualize what the Shark sees and where it goes. You cant see where it is in real time, and can only schedule one cleaning per day, but otherwise it does everything I need. Overall, if you want a decent robot vacuum and love those fresh carpet lines daily, Id say go for it.

Having a boxer puppy this vacuum changed the game forever. This thing gets under most of the furniture and beds. It’s a refreshing feeling to walk around your apt with the floors being crispy clean.

I was so excited to finally have a self vacuum. I have two dogs. We ordered our first one. My husband programmed it and off it went. It would sit in one place and just spin. I know it has to map out your house, but I didnt think it had to do this every time we used it. It is also quite loud. After using it 4 or 5 times, we decided it was probably a defective product. We sent it back for an exchange. Went through the same process when we received the new one. It still seems to be confused. We have tile and wood flooring. I pick up anything on the floor, other than furniture. Surprisingly, the dogs could not care less. They just lay in their bed and watch. It will still spin in one place 4-5 times, on multiple occasions of cleaning. I dont know if this is normal. I do know it uses up a lot of battery time by doing this. Im still doing research. We may send it back and try a different brand. I hate having to do this because it does pick up fairly well. It just takes so long to clean a one story, tile and wood, (no rugs, carpet, or other objects in the way). With that being said, I wonder how long its life expectancy will be. We paid a lot for it. I would be pretty upset if it died in a year. I own a Shark Cordless, Bagless hand held. It came with two rechargeable batteries. I can vacuum the entire house without using all of one battery. Ive had that vacuum for 3 years. It has been used almost daily. I believe the motor may be getting ready to die. But, it has been a fabulous vacuum. Ill be looking for another one of those. If anyone has any input on the Shark Robot or another brand, please share. I really do want to love her, but I need to know she wont die in a year!

I love everything about this vacuum! Mapped out my house and designated rooms on the app. I can set it to clean an individual room, the whole house or spot clean from anywhere with the handy Shark app. My floors have never been so clean. I set up no go areas on the app too, so he stays out of my kids rooms. Enter there at your own risk lol. They can vacuum their own room and I dont have to fear of this guy getting lost in their vortex of a room. However, if he does get stuck somewhere you get a notification on the app and you can locate him with the app too. It is also nice not having to empty him, he empties himself and I empty the been every couple of weeks and give him a good clean. Highly recommend this vacuum! Worth every penny, no doubt about it.
