Q: Do I need to have a smart phone to have this ROBOT work correctly?
A: You do not need a smart phone for the Shark ION 720 model. It comes with a remote control and does not have smartphone app integration. You can also start the cleaning cycle by manually pressing a button on the top of the vacuum.
A: The boundary strips do not need to be powered. They have magnets that the robot senses and turns around. The connectors allow you to make turns and angles because the boundary strip is semi-thick and will not turn sharply. You cut the strips with scissors or utility knife to length. If need to make turn or square a corner just clip connector to cut end and then cut next length. The connectors have hindge that goes from straight to 90 degrees. For example, we used the boundary strip to “wall” off our dog’s food and water bowles. This keeps the robot from spilling the water. The bowles are on a small rectangle carpet in a corner. We only had to cut one long length from the wall past the Bowles. Clip on a connector to make 90 turn and cut the shorter side of the rectangle to reach the other wall. This made an L to cover the exsposed sides of the Bowles with the two walls on the other sides. We then slid the L under the carpet edge so can’t see it. The robot will then run up on just the carpet edge from the hardwood floor and then stop and turn away. It has never bumped the Bowles.
A: The robot will stop and turn away from the stair’s edge. It has sensors that detect the cliff and stop the robot from falling down the stairs. We use the shark on our second floor a few times a week and it has always stayed safely off the stairs. It does run right to the edge before stopping and turning away so may be scary at first when watching it. However, as I said it has never run off the cliff.
Q: Will the 720 go over objects / carpet edges, like the 750 dose
A: Yes, the vacuum can go over carpet and hard flooring.
Q: Will this go over a 1 inch transition?
A: Hello ZoLoWin, The ION Robot should have no difficulty going over a 1 inch lip when transition from one flooring type to another. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team
Q: What is the height of the Shark robot vac. I need to be sure it can get under furniture.
A: The height is 2.6 inches.
A: Hello Wendy, We would like you to know that the Shark ION™ 720 Robot Vacuum does not use WiFi. It includes an Easy Scheduling Remote to control the vacuum or set up a schedule. We hope this information helps. The Customer Support Team
Q: Why does it not clean up to the base board
A: It will certainly clean around the base boards. Our self-cleaning brushroll pulls in short and long hair and captures dust, dander, and allergens to prevent everyday buildup in your home. This includes pulling in debris from the base boards.
