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

I wanted to wait until I had owned it for a while so that I could submit a quality review. I had a very expensive Deebot before and I replaced it with the shark. This thing is unbelievable. It cleans better than the Deebot ever did. It cleans dirt I didnt even know I had. It gets in tons of places that the Deebot couldnt or wouldnt. My floors have never been cleaner. I highly recommend. There were some bad reviews about the software. I think its great too. I bought two, and they are fan.efin.tastic!

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.

Probably should have bought a brand new one. It was amazing when it worked. But buying refurbished is always a risk.

Good concept and I got the Shark rather than the iRobot or other brands due to reviews. Not what I hoped. For pet owners, its good at cleaning up fur. I have 3 cats and I was vacuuming every day and emptying half a canister of fur. Got this Shark so I could take a break. What it does not excel at is litter. I use natural flushable corn litter and I have thin litter mats that vacuum up nicely with my Bissell. But this robot thing goes over the mat and just leaves a lot behind. On hardwood floor it is much better but doesnt seem to get it all. The thing likes to repeat clean so it eventually gets up most dirt and fur. It turned itself on in the middle of the night on the first day and I almost boxed it up. Had to do a factory reset to clear the memory since there is no clock setting in the app. The app is basic but user friendly and the schedule function is probably helpful but after that first night I just shut it off before bed. It does get lost if in low light conditions. Sunlight is good enough but you will need to turn on all the lights if cleaning at night. Overall it is just okay for the price and I love not seeing as much pet hair. Thought about returning it but my other half got rid of the box which also had the plastic docking thing for carpets. Ill keep it and enjoy not vacuuming as much. UPDATE: 05/27/2022 Bumping up to 4 stars because it makes me happy! Never looking back! This has become very convenient and my favorite cleaning tool. I may have to run it a couple times a day to get up all the litter but I dont mind at all, and the robot doesnt complain. Saves me soooo much time (and back pain) than traditional vacuuming. Added comments after using it for a while... Just like my regular vacuum, I know itll function better if its maintained regularly so Im still emptying the dust bin about twice a week. The robot itself isnt terribly loud. However, it is when emptying so I cant run it while working at my home office. The sensors on the underside need to be cleaned but not too often and Ive only had to manually open the brush door underneath it twice.

I cannot believe how much I adore this vacuum. I have 4 dogs and live on a farm. Vacuuming is a daily chore and I haven’t had to do anything since this thing arrived. Set up was easy. It runs daily and I empty weekly. Easy and so efficient!!

One of the main reasons we chose this product was because desciption indicated that hair would not wrap around beater bar. The pic definitely shows a great deal of hair. Product was received 3 days ago and used twice. Disappointed this feature does not work as described. With that being said, product must be deep cleaning to accumulate that much hair.

So my boyfriend already has this model so I knew I wanted it bc its AMAZING. I have 2 dogs that shed like crazy and its a daily battle to keep the dirt level down. I had a another cheaper robovac but it doesnt map and was quite stupid, honestly. It would get off the dock and immediately head for the one place it always got stuck. Plus the dust cup was minuscule and brushes pretty cheap...but it helped keep the dust and dander and fur to a sort of acceptable layer between my weekly moppings and eod vacuuming. Anyway... I was constantly jealous over the bfs overkill of a robovac since hes already a pretty clean guy and only has a very sedentary cat that barely sheds.... Seemed like such a waste of such fine cleaning abilities and large dust storage... After many unsuccessful attempts to get him to trade me, and then just buy me one, I broke down and looked at the available options. I was distraught. Hell no, I couldnt afford a new one. Couldnt afford one like new or even used, good. But thats when I saw the used, acceptable with large cosmetic blemishes for nearly half the price. Who cares about a pretty face, I asked myself? Certainly not me, as I threw a resentful glance at the boyfriend. I took the future of my clean floors in my own hands and ordered. It came the next day in its original packaging that had obviously once been opened but at least put back together with care... And it still had the stickers on the base and vac! There were a few scuffs on the top and bottom but hey, nothing I couldnt live with. On a whim I grabbed a microfiber cloth and started swiping... And much to my delight the scuffs came right off and I have what appears to be a nearly new shark robovac for half the price. Yes, you can tell its been run maybe once. But the brushes were still in the packaging and the dust cup has nary a spec inside. Score!! Connecting to wifi was tedious but ONLY bc it was my stupid android phone being.. Well... Android. It wouldnt give me the wifi network for reasons I still cant figure out...but after several hours of resetting wifi and multiple other interventions I had enough. Out of desperation I used my company iphone and had it connected in less than a minute, then just logged in to the app through my personal phone and havent had an issue at all. So if youre having issues, try a different phone first before you unplug every wifi device in the house, reset your router, reinstall the app, and reboot your phone.....for the 4th time. Conclusion: Buy it. Even the used acceptable one. Try another phone before giving up on the wifi connection. My little Ruby is now happily mapping my home and I look forward to clean floors and minimal dust emptying. Now, if I can just get that microfiber cloth to work on the other blemishes in my life....

Does the job but does get lost from time to time and dies somewhere in the house which is a pain.

A great robot vac. Runs on schedule and cleans dog hair everywhere it goes. The only problem I faced was Wi-Fi connecting it while pairing with my phone. It took three attempts to succeed. Now I am just happy it cleans on its own.

All I have to say is it’s worth every single penny! I would absolutely buy again!
