    5 months in-Honest Review

    I’ve been using this vacuum since November 2024 and here is my honest review. My house is about 1300sqft, 70% porcelain tile and 30% high pile carpet. I also have three dogs, one is a Great Pyrenees (very heavy shedder) and the other two are medium shedders, so lots of dog hair! Pros: so easy to set up, it did take two tries to “map” the house. Make sure doors are open and take items off the floor (dog toys, kid toys, shoes, etc). Super easy though. Love that you can set a schedule and/or just open the app and tell it to clean. You can even choose a specific room instead of the whole house. Cleans the tile wonderfully, no more dog hair tumble weeds! Cons: not great on high pile carpet. I ran my Dyson over the carpet, just in the main traffic areas and I filled the canister five times. This was right after the shark had vacuumed. Dog hair tends to get stuck in the side of the brush causing it to stop and need to be cleaned frequently. However, once I just used it for the tile only this happened less frequently. Overall, it saves tons of time cause I was staining the tile every other day. Not enough suction for my carpets, but still worth it in my opinion.

    Works great… until it doesn’t

    After a month (when the return window had closed) it kept telling me its “brush roll was stuck”. I have cleaned it till there wasn’t a speck of dust… still won’t work. In my experience, I spent more time trying to get this thing to work than it did actually vacuuming.

    Not worth the effort of a return

    This could not properly map my house no matter where I placed it. It would roll out a few inches, turn several circles and go back to the base. And we won’t talk about the horrible app experience. I had to sign in over and over because the app kept crashing

    Doesn’t work

    Just trying to set this device up and I’m pretty tech savvy. It continues to tell me that I need to clean the trash bin and filters as it doesn’t have enough suction. It also doesn’t give the option to map my house when setting up. I’ve completed a factory reset and checked all filters and bins to ensure it’s working.

    It can’t find the dock anymore

    I love that it automatically cleans the dustbin, but after running it daily for a few months, it lost the ability to find the dock on its own, even when it was right in front of it. I couldn’t figure out how to update the software or if it was even possible, so I reset it to its factory settings. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem to make a difference, as I found it sitting right in front of the dock again. Not too long ago I purchased another one for upstairs before I realized it was going to have these issues.

    Badly designed needs a counterweight to charge it.

    Badly designed. It will not charge without something on the back of it as a counterweight. Replaced our old one with this one a few months ago and I’m regretting it as apparently I’m going to have to tape a rock to it to get it to charge. The old one is still going strong on our 2nd floor.

    Waste of money

    This vacuum barely works. It doesn’t dock itself properly so the battery is always dead. I need to replace the brush & haven’t been able to find the proper size so when the battery works, the brush gets jammed up & is constantly needing to be fixed. A waste of money!

    Spend your money somewhere else

    This thing is junk for the money you spend. Bought June 2024. It’s Feb 2025. Worked fine until it didn’t. Now it doesn’t vac the whole area as programmed and doesn’t even vacuum the area designated when selecting for a single room. Tried remapping a few times. Factory resetting. Deleting and redownloading app. Nothing fixes it. There is one phone number for customer support. You will be on hold forever. Forget trying to find an email. There is no way I am going to spend hours trying to get this to work and getting a hold of customer service. It’s a $400+ machine. It shouldn’t be this clunky and there should be better customer service.

    Best gift I could have given myself.

    OMG. This is a complete game changer. We bought a new house 3months ago and I wanted to make sure that we started off right. This has been my favorite new home purchase by far. I have the schedule set to vacuum about 1hr before I get home and then again I will turn it back on at 8or9pm to do a quick pass where the dogs mainly congregate. Very nice expensive but worth it if you can afford it. You will still need an upright or second unit for cleaning against the walls monthly.

    Vacuum works well, but app is terrible and constantly needs to be logged back into to work

    What is the point of having an automatic vacuum if it doesn’t run automatically most of the time?! The app controls any automatic schedule for the vacuum, but it constantly logs you out for no reason and then the vacuum doesn’t run on automatically per the schedule in your app. Based on Reddit comments, this has been an issue for the last 2 years and they still haven’t fixed it…

    DO NOT GET FROM AMAZON RENEWED

    Got this from Amazon Renewed and it is broken right out of the box… The wheel motors are bad from what I can tell… Don’t waste your time or money on Amazon renewed. Its a complete gamble. I 100% believe they turned this on and the vacuum cycled like it normally does and they said yea it works. I have not been burned by Amazon Renewed yet but I believe this program they have running now is shotty at best and a complete dice roll if you get a product that works correctly.

    Works good

    I have had four different robot vacuums and this one is working well so far. It is louder than the last shark robot that I had so I was a little disappointed in that but otherwise the vacuum works great. The round piece on the top does keep it from going under some furniture that my previous one could get under so that is a little cumbersome since my dog sheds so much. It does do a good job picking up almost all of the dog hair and we do not have any carpets so I cannot give any reviews on how it works with carpets, but it does work great on tile and vinyl flooring.

    Performance dropped dramatically after first month

    At first, loved this vacuum. But after about a month, I felt like the suction/performance dropped dramatically. There is still significant amounts of visible dirt on the floor after running now. I have cleaned the brushes, emptied the bin, and changed the filter multiple times, and it has not improved. I’m bummed bc I splurged on this vacuum.

    most unhappy

    I’m not a happy camper. Unit arrived on June 24th, 2025(Shark AI Ultra Voice Control). I’ve used it 4-5 times at most. Now I get Error 7, which means there is a problem with one of the sensors. I cleaned the bottom already, so that’s not the problem. Figure it out, at $299 and used 4-5 times, each use cost me $70-$75. Do not buy this item.

    Horrible Experience

    UPDATE: Amazon’s A-Z department refunded my full re-stocking fees When I tried to use this product it kept malfunctioning. I called Shark robot directly and after a thorough video troubleshooting with their rep, it was determined there was a faulty sensor. They offered to replace the vacuum free of charge but that it could take up to 6 weeks and suggested I return it directly to Amazon for faster service. I contacted Amazon and was told I could not do a replacement only a refund. So I sent the product back to the seller as per the shipping labels. Several days later I received a refund with an email stating they charged me $82 for restocking fee. I was never informed of any such fee and never been charged a fee in the past. This was clearly a defective item and returned 24 hours after receiving it. I will be reporting this to the better business bureau and my credit card company as this was completely unacceptable!

    Not for homes with shedding pets.

    So not choose this robot vacuum if you have shedding pets. I specifically chose this model to help keep up with my Rottweiler’s shedding. The self emptying seemed like a good option. The vacuum quickly becomes clogged with hair and has to be cleaned out DAILY. It will no longer clean nor empty itself unless thoroughly cleaned out at least daily. I couldn’t imagine how bad it would be with long haired pets.

    Only last 12 months

    One year ago we bought this. This month it no longer can vacuum where the map shows. It typically does 3/4 to 1/4 or less of the map then decides to stop and says its job is successfully complete. We’ve have cleaned its sensors. Rebooted it to factory defaults. Relearned the map etc….. it’s toast so I went to find the extended warranty and thought it was interesting we bought it exactly one year ago this month. Tells me it only lasts one year. My last robot vacuum worked for quite a few years. Don’t buy unless you plan on getting a new one every 12 months.

    After 6 months…

    I got this vacuum on sale for mid $200s. I think at that price point, it is an okay vacuum. I did a lot of research and got this based on the reviews. I honestly didn’t think it would go so far south so quickly. I’ve only had this vacuum since August ‘24. I got it to help keep things tidy since I was 9 months pregnant & knew with 3 dogs + an infant, it was going to be hard to keep up with the hair. So I got this vacuum to do light cleaning in between deep cleaning. At first it was good. Not great, but decent. The design does not allow it to get close up to the wall or in corners. No problem because i got it to HELP with cleaning. I like the schedule feature and the room mapping. However, now that we’re in February ‘25, the vacuum no longer operates on schedule, it doesn’t connect via WiFi, and doesn’t do much of vacuuming. It kind of just spreads dirt everywhere.. if I bought this full price, I’d be LIVID. I’m glad I got it on sale, but I don’t think I’d recommend this to anyone. Especially bc my house is only 900 sqft & all hardwood floors. I love shark products but this one is just not it

    Not performing correctly

    Bought this in December 2024. It worked great for over a month and now it doesn’t cover the areas that it mapped and at times it leaves the dock and goes straight back to the dock. I have deleted the maps and let it re-map the area a few times. I have also done a factory reset which helped but it still isn’t working like it did in the beginning. I’m writing this review while trying to contact customer service. I’m not sure what to do because it won’t show the problem I am having in the ask questions section.

    Do not buy if you value your privacy

    When we first got this robot, it worked fine. The robot still works fine. Does it OK job cleaning not great but OK. But now we have to log into our website before we could run the robot that we own . That is outrageous that they want you to login to run a robot that you bought and paid for. I will never ever buy another one. I think that’s an invasion of privacy that they know when you run and cleaning your house. A bunch of BS.

    Fantastic purchase

    I owned a competing robot vacuum before. After swearing off robot vacuums, I decided to give it one more try. I haven’t run this vacuum cleaner very long, but it has exceeded all of my expectations. The design on the base, the way that it maps out and cleans rooms. The quietness of the machine. Everything is phenomenal. This is well worth the money, and I am considering getting a second 14 my other floor. The only thing that I would improve would be the app design. It is challenging for me to find some of the settings that I would like to customize.

    It looks nice and is helpful, but it’s not the strongest suction and navigation isn’t as good as one I’ve had before. There’s a reason why they don’t bring up the specs on the suction power compared to other robot vacs. I mean honestly sometimes you get what you pay for.

It’s battery doesn’t last for our 1200 sq ft first floor, it needs to return to the dock to charge.

    OK for the price, you would still need to vacuum weekly

    Doesn’t replace regular vacuums but does a decent job. I run it every other day, and it cleans the surface, picking up litter, visible debris, and some pet hair. However, when I vacuum weekly with my Dyson, the tank still fills up with pet hair. The battery life isn’t great. It’s also too stubborn when it can’t climb something, which becomes annoying and noisy. The app was very buggy but has improved. However, it still lacks basic features like live progress tracking and showing the robot’s location on the map while it’s working. I’m not unhappy with it, but I’ll buy a better one in the future and move this to the basement.

    GET IT!!

    I absolutely love this vacuum, I named him Brucie of course lol. If you’re thinking about getting a robot vacuum I highly recommend this one. It was fairly easy to set up. I used the advice from other comments here & when you map the house for first time make sure all the lights are on & there was no problem for me! I set it to go off every day at the same time so I don’t even have to think about it! Only “issue” so far is it’ll occasionally get stuck with hair in the roller but that’s very easy to clean out. I love not having to think about vacuuming daily as I have two cats, it easily picks up litter no problem. Also it’ll pick up pine/newspaper litter pellets easily as well. It’s not very loud, definitely quieter than a normal vacuum. Loudest part is when it cleans itself out when it docs but only lasts a few seconds. Over all VERY satisfied with this lil guy!!
