Pretty good vacuum initially purchased because im so busy and we have vinyl floors throughoutost the house so hoped this could hemp with the chores some. It gets caught up on my rug sometimes and its not the brightest at mapping out your home. It does a decent job vacuuming thpugh gets the majority of stuff off the floor. Haven't tried the mop function yet but will update once i have. Decent purchase though

Good item. It was easy to set up and scanned whole house. I first had to sweep and mop since I have several pets but since then I just run it every other day and the floors are spotless. I use it on stained concrete floor along with an area rug in the living area and it has no problems transitioning nor cleaning. I recommend it but do not recommend cleaning completely dirty floors from the get go. Give it a head start and itll take over from there.

I wanted to love this Shark robot vacuum/mop, but after about a month it’s been mostly frustration. The mopping doesn’t work, the mapping is wildly inaccurate, and zoning isn’t usable. It rarely recognizes floor types correctly. Even with my floors cleared each day, it still knocks things over and gets tangled in cords and brushes. It has only completed 2–3 successful runs; most attempts end with a new error. It also randomly left the dock and then couldn’t find its way back. This morning the app showed it disconnected at 5% battery after sitting on the dock overnight. The “60 days without emptying” claim didn’t hold up either—I’ve already had to empty the base. On the few days it did finish, the cleaning looked good, but it’s not dependable enough for daily use. Disappointing for a ~$400 purchase. Shark, stop false advertising, this has been an absolute annoying and disappointing experience so far!!!!

Best robot I've had so far

So far I have tried iRobot and shark. Of the two I prefer shark. The cost is lower. It works better. And I have to manage it less. These are all pluses. Plus this model has mopping ability. Which my other robot does not. Even though it cost in and around the same price perhaps even a little bit more than the shark.
Now here's the downside: the robot will not switch from vacuuming to vacuum up on its own. You have to make a conscious choice for it to mop. Which means using their special cleaning fluid or water. As you cannot use stuff the suds up. That can get expensive. Fortunately there are many sources for this fluid relatively cheap. The fluid for the vacuum mops / robot mops work great. It's the same stuff. Buy that.
Another good feature that I forgot to mention is that the mop pads are reusable. I robot doesn't have a lot of reusable parts. They really don't. You can wash the mop pad over and over again without a problem. And honestly after a good cleaning mission you probably want to wash the mop pad.
Another good part is the base. There is no bag inside there. Thank you. iRobot puts a bag in their base. That's annoying. Even if you buy off brand parts it's still expensive to maintain. Thank you so much for not being a jerk and using the bag.
Finally, we have to talk about one other downside to shark. It doesn't pick up quite as well as iRobot. Is that a huge difference? No. They almost clean as well. I robot is better at cleaning out the robot then shark is. Sometimes you have to open up the dustpan and suck it out with a regular vacuum. That's annoying. But considering how often iRobot broke down on me I'll take this minor annoyance.
In truth, any cleaning robot is better than no cleaning robot. We all don't clean our floors quite the way we should. We are busy. We need someone or something that is more than happy to clean, clean, clean. That's a robot for you. Any robot you choose is a win. I cannot say for sure if the shark is better than other brands such as roborock. Because I've never personally owned those robots. But I can compare iRobot to Shark. And I say if you had to choose between the two choose Shark. You're going to have so much more bang for your buck.

The good here is the vacuum and the base.
They are really good quality and work very well especially for the price. The vacuum does a better job than my previous robot. The mopping ability is also very good.
The bad however is really bad. The Shark app and mapping is horrible. The app is glitchy. The set up took multiple tries to get mapping correct. The robot just kept spinning and going back to the base. When things are supposedly mapped, then you have to set up for rug avoidance. No matter how much you re-run the thing never fully gets it right. It either goes on the rug or goes so far from the rug that there’s no point. Additionally the robot is always going into areas not mapped and getting stuck. It will sometimes just spin in circles. Oh, if you have two floors you can’t have two different maps.
With the price better than competitors I bought two, one upstairs and one down and now I regret it.
I really want to love this but the app and mapping is so bad all I want to do is return both.

I wish Shark would add software that enables the machine to operate with a map of multiple floors, and maybe a machine that goes up and down stairs, which is why I can't give this a full 5 stars. I end up having to do more work than needed to take care of the areas it doesn't cover, but for the most part, it does what it is supposed to do.

Super dependable. Love the fact that I can have it switch from vacuum to mopping. Only downside is for some reason I can not have it go on a schedule on the app. Unsure if that is just a technical mishap or not. but otherwise, me and my fiance love it

I really wanted to love this. But honestly if I could return it, I would. I have a 1400 SF ranch home with no carpeting. I thought this would be perfect. The truth is this is just more trouble than it is worth. I have never had it complete a cleaning without it getting stuck or having another issue. I should have just purchased a vacuum and not one that includes the mop.
Pros- it has a nice vacuum and the app is easy to use. The machine is pretty quiet. And it picks up a lot of dirt.
Cons - I expected to be able to just ask for it to vacuum without mopping. There are tricks to get that to work by setting up carpet zones. But that isn't ideal. The water reservoir doesn't hold enough water for the clean so I need to fill it up midway. Not a huge deal but the dirt reservoir is normally full so it makes a mess. I wish it would go to the dock and empty the vacuum before it stops working because of the water level. The pad for mopping is finicky and the Velcro holders are pretty useless. So it loses the pad pretty frequently.

Little guy does a good job but it disconnects from my app every once in a while. You also have to physically switch the mop and vacuum inserts, which isn’t a big deal but I believe other brands you don’t have to. For the price this thing rips in vacuum and mop mode.

First of all, it isn't perfect. But it is pretty amazing. When mopping the floor, occasionally, it misses a couple of spots. We have a large floor, so I guess that isn't too bad. We just hit Spot Clean and that's handles. The mopping is very good. We were genuinely surprised as to how well that works. Vacuuming is excellent also. It does a good job of keeping it self un-stuck. My old Roomba was always getting hung up underneath furniture. Battery capacity is great. Overall, we are very happy with our purchase.

Our little robit, aptly named Steve McClean, is a hard and highly valued worker. He's pretty decent at mapping out the house, although it did take a few attempts to get it perfectly accurate (he struggled with defining the wall that separates the guest room to the adjacent room, making it all one big area). He's on a scheduled clean every day and it's such a nice feeling to get home from work to nice clean floors. We use the mopping function once a week to keep our floors taken care of. He's made a decent quality of life upgrade.

Picks up dog hair extremely well but in doing so can cause the roller to be jammed. My floors stay consistently clean, and it just looks cool having a little dirt hungry robot goblin cruising around your house. My chihuahua likes to climb on top of the vacuum with its missing front leg and ride the robot like it's the cool kid in high school.

This shark is super easy to set up and I can run it whenever I want from my phone… I have not used the mopping feature yet but I do vacuum it all the time. It obviously doesn’t do a 100% job. But definitely does a decent clean! I definitely recommend

For the price, it gets the job done. It definitely cleans up dust from your wooden floors or rugs or tiles. The mopping feature is nice but you will need quite a bit of shark's cleaning solution. It does get lost once in awhile which is an annoyance but it's a robot relying on what it mapped and changes everyday. It will clean around these objects if you placed them there recently but if you map your house with everything on the ground it will not go there and clean.
