I bought this as an early Christmas present on Black Friday. The things I liked about it were that it would self empty, connect to Google Home, and created a map of the areas vacuumed. I have an older Roomba and I didn't not like the randomness of its cleaning. It literally runs into my refrigerator a million times and doesn't clean other areas. I knew for my next robot, I wanted one that would go back and forth in straight lines. I feel like the shark could have more suction power than it does. I like that it returns to the base to empty and then continues to clean. I purchased this one over the Roomba self cleaning bc the Roomba requires special bags for its container and I didn't want to have to always purchase them. My only cons are the shark has a slight obsession with trying to climb my Christmas tree. It is supposed to be able to develop a map so that I can avoid certain areas but after 15 cleanings, it has failed to do so. According to Shark, it can take 4-40 runs so I shall see. Overall I am satisfied with it and think it good enough for everyday cleaning. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats and it has dramatically reduced the number of times a week I have to manually vacuum.

Got it on sale for $279. And I would definitely pay more. We have 2 dogs and a cat in the house and we have a gravel/dirt driveway in the desert so we have a lot of dust, dirt and pet hair that needs to be vacuumed up all the time. This robot vacuum is very thorough. It may take a couple of runs to get to all parts of the house in the beginning but it seems to learn the layout with its row by row pattern. We have approximately 2100 square feet with 2 small bedrooms that we leave the doors closed so it doesn’t run in those room and it can get all of the floors in a little over an hour. It even cleans under our bed if we lift the bed skirt and under the couch. We have a lot of obstacles that it navigates around and so far has not gotten stuck. Much quieter than a regular vacuum. Super easy to get started, plug in the base and turn on the power it will do a very short clean pattern, dock itself to charge and then when it is fully charged, push the clean button and away it goes. Connection to Wi-Fi and Shark app is fairly easy as well. This a great

The Bad: Sometimes it will erase the map of your home for no reason. Gets lost sometimes. The Good: self empty lasts fairly long time. Especially considering I have a dog and cat. Quite for the most part. I usually use the boost/ max suction mode. In all I like it very much. Unfortunately I can't run it on a schedule because of the pets. It will not avoid a doggie accident if you know what I mean. That's not a mess you want to clean. Not a vacuum replacement. But it helps in-between vacuums.

I didn’t have high expectations for this because we have 2 high shed dogs and kids tracking stuff inside. I am very pleasantly surprised! I’ve been using it for a month, running it every evening, and it really has made my life easier by taking this task off my plate. It’s efficient and picks up 90% of everything on the floor. Sometimes it isn’t great with corners or near baseboards but I can live with that. It’s easy to set up and use. I bought this to replace a 5-6 year old iRobot (without self-emptying) and it’s been a good decision!

Bought the RV912S for $249 on Deal of the Day and I Love It! It cleans well and is smart enough to get under my dining room table without me moving the chairs. No.,it doesn't have a good mapping but it doesn't need that fancy feature. I let it go automatically or pick it up to clean a specific room. Some areas that it doesn't fit under, like my sofa, I move the dirt to the area it reaches and it picks it up. Its quietier than I expected and it finds it ls way back to the base or it alerts me when it needs help. I highly recommend this product.
