SharkPowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum with NeverStuck Technology, Auto Deep-Clean Carpets & Hardfloors, XL 60 Day Capacity HEPA Bagless Base Neutralizes Odors, for Pet Hair, Black (AV2820AE)

this thing is great I highly recommend it it has it owns radar system it maps the room no problem and scares my girlfriends little dog so totally worth it on that end lol. But the floors in my house are great I have a short hair dog and he sheds a lot in the summer time. So every day I empty the vacuum bin. it says on the instruction you don't have to empty the bin although I believe if you got a short hair dog you need too. I got three floors it does detect steps But I still block off the steps just in case. It does detect objects and if need too it does have a little lift to go over little bumps like 1/2 inch which is kind of cool to watch. Overall totally happy with this technology my house is clean!!!!

I am fascinated by this little robot. As someone who has a golden retriever and therefore hair all over the house, I picked Shark because of how good their vacuums are in dealing with pet hair and not getting tangled. This little guy has done a great job in just the few days we've had him.Pros:Easy set up and accurate floor plan on first sweepGreat at picking up pet and long hair with no tangling. Crumbs and debris too.You can do a schedule so it cleans while we are at workNo issues transitioning between hardwood and area rugs of both low and very high pileNoise level is reasonable, not silent but quieter than a normal vacuum. Emptying into the dock is noisy but it's only 15-20 secondsBagless, easy to empty docking station.You can adjust suction levels and it's been good at pulling dirt and hair out of our deep carpetA- in it's ability to detect and avoid objects (more later)Hasn't gotten stuck onceConsYou can only schedule one clean per day and it has to be the entire floor plan. You can't do individual roomsBattery life seems a little low. It took about 60-70% charge to do 525 sqft in 70 minutes. Charge back to full took 2-3 hoursObject detection struggles with things that have low to the ground area base. It likes to try to travel over the lower section of our coffee table and cat scratch postOverall it's a great product that has really removed our need to do daily light cleaning. It's really nice to come home to clean floors.

Did a lot of research online and thought that this would be the best option to help deal with the fur from two large and furry dogs. Initially, I had no issues with getting the unit set up although it is a little sensitive with regard to Wifi connectivity. It did work well in picking up the majority of the hair although still required follow-up manual cleaning of edges (which I fully expected). So...initially...we were very happy with it....BUT....Very quickly (within less than a week) it started to need significant daily maintenance beyond just emptying the dust collector, needed to have hair removed from wheels, brushes/brush roller cleaned and/or replaced. Given that this is a "pet" model I would expect that it would have been designed to handle pet hair which was sadly not the case. Now after approx. 4 months of use (probably less), it has stopped working because of an issue with a side wheel that is requiring the replacement of the side wheel and motor assembly (which is covered under warranty). This speaks to the build quality and durability of this product. Given these issues - I am very concerned that it will last once it's out of warranty. And we've checked, replacement parts are not available from Shark, once out of warranty.

I have had more than my fair share of robot sweepers. I think 3 Sharks, a Samsung, and a Roomba. The Samsung was our first and by far the best sweeper. However it has only an internal collection bin which is very small and clogs easily. Thoroughly limits it's usefulness to certain light duty situations. The Sharks have all been relatively good and reliable but died in unfortunate situations. Typically pet mess they tried to pick up which did not end well in any regard. The Roomba got stuck under our couch no less than 100 times and additionally used bags which is annoying. In addition to bags, it has many consumable parts that seem to constantly need replaced. SO back to Shark on this last robot. We absolutely need a robot with 2 dogs and 2 cats leaving fur everywhere. This new Shark definitely appears upgraded beyond our previous ones. Number one, it did not try to go under the couch! Finally, I can't tell you how annoyed I was with the Roomba being under the couch daily. I stuffed blankets under there to deter it which was not well received by my fiancee. So that problem appears to be gone. It seems to have a better motor than previous iterations and picked up well. It also docked without any problems. Some of the others looked like people who dont use mirrors trying to parallel park. Up back up back up back, kinda got it, nope , up back. Anyway, so far I don't see any flaws in it. I hope it doesn't meet the fate of the others. All in all, I would fully recommend Shark although I have not tried the Dyson. The Dyson is A) pricey and B) no tower bin so it will likely be super annoying without an empty and continue option. Maybe one day Dyson will be in the equation but it will certainly need a tower bin for that to happen.
