  Noticeably Quiet with Great Suction!

  Honestly, my previous experience with Shark Robot Vacuums wasn’t very satisfying. Even after trying other Sharks’ upgraded models, they lack suction power, runtime, and smart detection and often get stuck. This new model, however, feels like a major leap forward compared to my experience with its predecessors. First, the design is clean and modern and its color and style blend seamlessly with my home furniture, giving it a neat look. The charging base is compact and sits still on carpet, with no issues. Setting up the vacuum through the SharkClean app was straightforward and guided me step by step; the whole process took only about 5–8 minutes. I let the vacuum charge fully for a day before the first use. The app itself is simple and intuitive, with no unnecessary complexity; everything is self-explanatory. The initial task was to map my three bedrooms and hallway. Using its LiDAR navigation, the vacuum created the map, occasionally bumping into walls, doors, and furniture which is normal during the mapping process. After around 40 minutes, the floor mapping was complete, and I could divide the map into rooms and label them. The “No-Go Zones” feature was particularly useful and worked perfectly for my setup as I have my gym equipment and don’t want the robot to hit them. Suction has improved noticeably, and during regular cleaning, the vacuum rarely bumped into objects, and I can say it’s far less than I expected. On larger areas, it returned to the base to recharge and resumed cleaning a few minutes later. One of the most impressive features that stands out to me is its quiet operation. I can barely hear it from other rooms. It even easily climbs the threshold into my walk-in closet with no issue. It also works with voice assistants like Google and Alexa, though it lacks broader smart home integration, such as Matter, which would allow it to work with other devices like Apple Home. I hope Shark adds this feature in the future. Overall, this is an excellent smart robot vacuum, especially for the price.

  Good hardware, weak software.

  _____ *Pros: -The LiDAR navigation works well and mapped the rooms accurately. -The anti-hair-wrap brushroll is great for both pet (dog and cat) and human hair. -Simple and easy to empty the bin and clean the brushes. -Can control using voice via Google Control. -Works on both carpet and hard floor. -Comes with an extra side brush. _____ *Neutral: -No mop attachment option. _____ *Cons: -The app is clunky, laggy, and unrefined. After being fairly impressed with the power and performance of a Shark cordless stick vacuum from late last year, I was eager to give the Shark Navigator robot vacuum a shot, my first robot vacuum from Shark but my third robot vacuum overall. My first impression of the hardware was positive although nothing about it was remarkable. It’s presented in a standard round shape with one single-side brush on the bottom. There is no option for a mop attachment, and the dustbin capacity is about ½ quart, or 0.135 gallons. It weighs about seven pounds so it’s light and easy to carry around. Setting up the robot via the Shark Clean app was simple enough – turn on the vacuum, enter your home Wi-Fi password, and wait a bit for the connection to be made. The first thing the app suggested was to map a room, so I had the robot do just that for our master bedroom (hardwood floor) which sees a lot of traffic from our two cats and light traffic from our two dogs. I helped the robot out by decluttering the floor as much as possible but left some things alone, such as an office chair, a dip station bar, a trash can, a laundry basket, and a foldable stick vacuum cleaner. The Shark robot mapped the room much more quickly than I expected within just a handful of minutes. During the mapping process, I thought some parts of the room, especially corners and underneath the bed, were being missed, but as I found out during an actual cleaning run later, that wasn’t the case. With the mapping done, I set the cleaning Power Level to Normal (you can choose from Eco, Normal, and Max) and tapped Start Cleaning. The app estimated the cleaning to finish in around 15 minutes but the robot finished in about 12 minutes, probably because there were some obstacles that prevented access to some areas. I was impressed by the vacuum’s finesse going around the legs of my office chair, the posts of my bedframe, and getting close to the edges of walls to sweet up all the hair, dirt, and cat litter that was scattered around. The vacuum performed its job efficiently and thoroughly, going row-to-row consistently for the most part, but sometimes seemingly skipping a section of the room only to come back later as if it had experienced a “a-ha” moment to finish the job. Compared to other robot vacuums I’ve owned in the past and own right now, the Shark Navigator RV2110 fares well against them but doesn’t blow them away. Although the Navigator’s suction power and sweeping efficiency is good, it sometimes cleans in a haphazard fashion and misses a section of the floor. The battery life is good and okay, but the robot sometimes has a difficult time “parking” itself onto the dock. I’ve seen it try as many as three to four times to set up the correct alignment before it finally committed itself to docking, which was humorous. I’m hoping for future firmware updates to further refine the robot’s behavior and efficiency. My biggest issue with living with the Navigator was the Shark Clean app. Compared to rivals’ software solutions, the Shark Clean app is highly unrefined, laggy, and fails to display the correct status of the robot. For instance, when the robot has finished its cleaning process and is connected to the dock being recharged, the app will report that the cleaning process is still in process but in the paused state. And it won’t acknowledge that the robot is in docked mode and being charged. Looking at the app’s aggerated review score online, it’s apparent that Shark still needs to invest more time improving the app’s responsiveness, ease of usability, and accuracy. This is a shame because the hardware is good. All in all, I rate the Shark Navigator RV2110 3.5 out of 5 stars. Although the side-brush does a great job picking up debris efficiently and the suction power is great without generating too much noise, the software side leaves a lot to be desired. If Shark has the will and decides to provide firmware and software improvements, the RV2110 has the potential to be rated much higher. With that said, I would not recommend the Navigator to friends and family because there are simply more refined and better products out there at similar price ranges.

  Great at cleaning and easy to use with the app

  The Shark Navigator robot vacuum is a fantastic appliance to a busy household like ours. Our family is constantly on the go and busy with life which allows for limited time to do cleanings. This robot vacuum is a very efficient and smart machine that cleans well. Offering a strong suction capability that vacuums up on my home's carpet and hard surface floors. The self cleaning brushroll is very useful as it makes maintenance of the robot vacuum a lot easier on me as the user. I can easily remove the hair that gets wrapped without much hassle whatsoever. I have liked the simplicity and usability of the Shark Clean app that gives me easy usage of the vacuum for automatic operation and manual operation. This Shark Navigator does a great job at first initially mapping out the home space area and learning the area it needs to clean. The smart path navigation is quite nice and advanced as it does a great job striping and laying down clean lines on my carpeted floor. I can visually see the results of the vacuum cleaning with row after row of cleaning and not a bunch of random bounce around lines. The robot vacuum is also great at navigating around furniture and everyday items that are directly in the pathway. We try our best as a household to pick up obstacles in our home, but sometimes an article of clothing or shoe gets left behind and the vacuum manages to work its way around the obstacle. The second floor of my home is carpeted and the smart sensors on the cliff sensors do a great job at realizing the stairs and ledges and pulls back automatically so it doesn't fall down the stairs. This Shark Navigator can make your smart home a smarter home with the voice controlled capability when added to both Alexa or Google smart home assistants. The quiet operation is very nice as it doesn't disturb too much of my daily home usage with being on calls or personal conversations. I like the look and design of the vacuum as it has a nice black/gray color and it looks modern and sophisticated. Included in the box is the Shark Navigator robot vacuum itself, the small profile charging base, and the 2 side brushes. Great appliance to have for your home needs and keeping the home clean when you're away from home and when you're at home.
