    Ok... Tried em all. Had numerous i-robots but with dog hair and sloppy seniors this is the best! They don’t make em much better. My shark goes weeks if not a month between changes with the dust collection system that nautical backs up every time my shark robot returns to its home station I don’t think you can find a better value out there! I’ve tried less expensive models and I tried more expensive models and for some reason the shark is the best that I have ever tried. Our our dog hair is it with the last expensive model and I had to dump them every other time and did the floor. However, With the $599 model I was totally amazed as you will be. Plus if you or your wife have a bad back and can’t do the repetitive motions of a vacuum cleaner this will definitely help you out!

    This purchase was a new venture for having a wifi/smart vacuum cleaner, but I am impressed to say the least. The positive - it does exactly what the specifications state. The negative - it does (on occasion) get stuck on throw rugs.

    This shark works good for day to day cleaning. It's better on hard surfaces to get the dog hair from my beagle. In the carpet it doesn't get all the hair. It has works flawlessly for months. Would recommend to anyone.

    This robot is amazing. Love being able to schedule daily runs and not have to worry about emptying the bin multiple times thru the week. Great for homes with kids and pets. One downfall is it tends to get stuck on some of my throw rugs.

    This is my first robot vaccuum, but I have seen my Dad's Roomba i7 work. With the Shark I feel it is a great buy for the price considering the bin that comes with it is a huge value. There are not many choices when it comes to robo vacs that auto dump into a bin. So, if you would rather not spend $1000+ on a Roomba+bin then this Shark is a great buy. Some of the cons are one being that unlike some Roomba's, the Shark uses magnetic barriers to keep the vac from going into certain areas. I would much rather have a virtual barrier than to lay some magnetic strip on the ground. Also, it does take a few days to map out the house, which I think most vacs do anyway. Does a great job picking up dirt, debris, long dog hair, and long wife hair. Does well with navigating around furniture. It would be nice if a remote was included but the app is easy enough.

    We’re loving our new shark robot. It was easy to set up and load the app on our phones. I like that you can pick what rooms to do after it’s done learning you home.

    Couldn't be happier with this product. Super easy to set up. Be sure to communicate with what the app asks of you and help it learn the layout of your house and it'll know exactly where every nook and cranny is!

    I’m not going to say you will never have to vacuum again but what a help. With two small kids and a busy life this thing can really be a time saver in day to day chores. I love it! It does a great job and for the price I would buy it again.

    Love it. Keeps up with all my pets wish I had it sooner. 3 dogs 4 cats just clean the bottom regularly and empty the bin more often. Does get loud if something hangs on its flippers, clean them off.

    Love it! Works great on our floors and really does map the entire house. It’s short enough to go under our couch and love scheduling the times to clean so we always come home to clean floors. Would absolutely recommend.

    This product died after two years. When I reached out to both Best Buy and Shark the only solutions were to purchase a service for repair or replace parts that may or may not resolve the issue. When it worked it did what it needed to, but it is not a quality product and will require support after a few years.

    Very impressive. It's logic is amazing. Exceeded expectations. Quiet, smart, and fun to watch. No issues transitioning from hardwood to carpet... even vacuumed over the Christmas Tree skirt without clogging up.

    Does a great job. It will tend to get stuck in the beginning until you figure out where to place the exclusion zone strips.

    I have a bad back and bad knees so i decided to try one of these. I have 2 goldens and they shed a lot. So I plugged it in, did some basic pick up of some clumps but did not do a full cleaning. This thing picked up all the dog hair. Once or twice I had to clean the brush but it was easy and I had a lot of dog hair around the house in clumps so I was very impressed. On a schedule when it is cleaning regularly it will not have an issue. I just bought it so I can't speak to longevity or anything like that yet but it does a great job with dog hair and it picked up some larger pieces of cardboard and paper that I thought would stall it.

    Cleans hardwood and concrete floors like a dream. I'm glad I picked this model. It has an easy to empty bin and no bags to replace. The filters are simple to tap the dust out of. No problems yet!
