Shark keeps getting better with ever generation of their robotic vacuums. Gone are the days where robotic vacuums aimlessly travel around bumping into things and randomly change direction. This latest version has advanced mapping functionality with Lidar navigation. Basically, it utilizes a laser to map its surroundings and keeps track of where it is currently at and the locations that have already been cleaned. You can use it stand-alone, but the optional mobile app adds very useful features. Setup is easy and it is pretty much ready to go out of the box after the initial charging. It easily connects through Wi-Fi with the mobile app. It will automatically check for updates and install the latest firmware. On the first use, it will run a mapping configuration and save it to the app. It works great and for example, if a door is closed when it runs its mapping, it will avoid that room even when the door is open since it is not mapped. It does a great job of avoiding obstacles and getting all areas in an efficient manner. You can set it automatically it's suction to the condition of the carpet. It effortlessly returns to the base every so often to empty the dust bin and restarts its routine. The app shows all the status of the vacuum such as when it's time to replace the clean the sensors, replace the roller, filter, etc. The dust bags are easy to get to and swap out. They are small, but my experience with Shark's previous versions are they last a long time due to the way it compacts the contents when forcefully emptying the vacuum. Shark is a great value for a quality robotic vacuum that can completely replace your manual vacuum. Replacement parts, bags, etc. are easy to replace and very economically priced.

Setup was probably the easiest I've ever experienced with this type of robot. Just download the app, follow the instructions (mostly clicking and confirming choices), enter your Wi-Fi password, and give it a name (optional, but fun). First, the bad news. It has a bit of a corner phobia, so you might need to clean those yourself. It also tends to bump into small items, and the worst part is that it doesn't avoid cables on the floor, which can sometimes lead to a tangled mess. To be fair, previous similar robots had the same problem, even the high-end ones. However, more modern, high-end, and less budget-friendly models have much better sensors and can recognize objects to avoid them. But hey, this is an entry-level model, and even with those flaws, it's still good value. What I liked was that it cleaned well in the areas it could reach and even went back to some spots where it hadn't done a great job at first. Plus, it's much quieter than any vacuum cleaner I've ever used. Of course, the fact that it empties itself is also a big plus. Another perk is that it requires no bags, which I like, although it means you'll have to clean the filter often. Models with bags don't require that; you just throw the bag away, although there are disadvantages to that approach as well. So, I consider it neither a pro nor a con. Overall, I liked its performance and budget-friendliness. However, if you can afford it, Shark has better models that can recognize their environment and do an even better job than this one.

As an owner of several robot vacuums over the years of various brands, I have to say this is one of my favorites. The mapping it does is very accurate and is easily seen on the SharkClean app, which will also show you stats like cleaned area and runtime. It will also give you a history report on all previous cleaning runs. The robot itself is the quietest robot vacuum I have ever had. I can even watch TV in the same room with it operating without having to turn up the volume much at all. The last robot vacuum I had would get stuck on small little chair leg rails and other things that I would have thought should not be a problem. Then I would have to get it unstuck and recharge it and the process would take forever. Not this one. It has no problem maneuvering over such things and also does a good job of avoiding obstacles that are in the way. It cleans my upstairs area of 811 sq. ft. in a time of 127 minutes on normal clean setting without having to recharge. I think this time may actually get better the more runs it makes. It does take several hours to recharge once the battery gets low, but so do all of the rest of them. You can set up boundaries in the app or set up to clean spot areas if needed. I love the self emptying feature, too. Much better than having to clean out the dust bin after every run. I definitely recommend this robot if you are not looking for a mopping feature.

Great RoboVac! Even better with it's Self-Empty base! This is not my first expereince with Shark. Not just vaccum's, but their other project lines as well. Every Shark product I have ever used, tested, reviewed, integrated into my life, has been great. And the previous Shark RoboVac lasted us well over 7 years... Fast Forward 7 years, and the technology in Shark's vacuum's has expanded exponentially. Our first Shark RoboVac, was a basic Robo, very powerful, and efficient, but had very little "smart technology". It was great for our home at the time that had a grid-like layout. This unit, is by orders of magnitude, so much "smarter". Especially when it come to mapping and memory. We have a fairly complex first floor, East wing lay out. Every other RoboVac we have tried has gotten "confused", and easily failed hitting every area, every time. This Vac, took a handful af tours, and it each time, it learned more and more. Great intellegence Setup was pretty easy. Download the app, connect ti your WiFi netowrk, and you are good to go. Power of the vac was great. Use was simple. The ony small area of improvement? This is awsome for single-terrain homes, but add in throw-rugs, and it gets a little caught up sometimes. End of the day, if you have the need, this is a great unit.

This is one of many robot vacuums I have tried and let me tell you, when it fires up it sounds like a real vacuum cleaner. The suction appears to be as good as my upright electric. The setup was easy and the first time running it, it seemed to be confused and bouncing around. The second time may have done the same however I was at work when it ran. Now, when I get home there are perfect lines in my carpet when I get home. I have a dog and a cat the shed a bunch and this has no problem picking up any of the hair. In fact, I’ve been running for two weeks now and have not had to empty the bin yet. Let me tell you, if you haven’t owned a robot vacuum in the past, this is a game changer. With my last robot, I had to empty the bin every single day and in many cases, had to empty it before it was finished. This is truly the best robot vacuum I have owned.the app is very easy to use, the suction is amazing, and it does an amazing job on tile, wood, rugs, and carpet. It only got stuck once because I had a pile of cords exposed but I have cleared that up. Overall, I highly recommend. I have tried all the other big brands over the past 10 years and this one is the winner.

This Shark Navigator robot vacuum was needed to replace an aging competitor robot vacuum. It's extremely easy to set up. I had my technologically lacking partner set it up to see how easy it is. After downloading the app and reading the instructions setup was a breeze. Be sure to charge it, then let it map your house (or areas you want cleaned. The app is strait forward and intuitive. After naming the robot (Clean Latifah..lol) and letting it map the house it was ready to go. As a test, I used a regular upright vacuum in our living room first. Then let Clean Latifah run. Suction power is better than expected as it did pick up some dirt out of our living room. Letting it do a whole house clean, the robot did stop about 3/4 the way to return to base to empty. We were impressed with how much dirt it picked up. It shows how much the competitor left behind. We have it set to auto run when we aren't home so the house is always clean. This Shark robot vac seamlessly transitions from carpet to bare floor and back. No hangups on transitions or thresholds. With the app, you can also set it to spot clean a room or rooms anytime you want some extra cleaning done. The self empty feature is nice, leaving just a bucket to be emptied periodically. We like it and would definitely recommed this one for sure!

This is the third robot vacuum I've had any experience. As far as features go this unit sits right in the middle of my other two vacuums, one that offers mopping and self-emptying, and the other that requires manual emptying and docks only for charging. From an ease of use and setup aspect, the Shark Navigator easily takes first place. App setup was straightforward and went smoothly. The auto-mapping function was very accurate and designating areas on the map to section off areas is easy. I really like how it gives you a summary after every job with the time taken and square footage covered. The vacuum also does a great job picking debris, marginally better than the more expensive unit I have even, likely because it can house a more powerful motor instead of offering a mopping feature. I also like that the base station bin is bagless, less replacement items to keep on hand. Unlike the other units I've tried the Shark is very good at traversing uneven flooring. It can even climb up onto a 2 inch thick area rug in my livingroom without issue.

The Shark Navigator Robot Vacuum is an amazing option to have clean floors the easy way! Unboxing and setup was an absolute breeze, within 20 minutes I had everything setup and configured and was ready to go! The app is amazing, and works great on my iPhone, I love the ease of use! Mapping my home was very automated and easy, and now I can rely on clean floors all the time without having to do it myself! Just a simple task of ensuring the waste bin stays empty has really been my only maintenance so far! I also love how quiet this is compared to other units I have tried in the past, while still keeping my floors pristine. I run this daily around Noon when we are normally not home, but even on the weekends it is not a nuisance due to the quiet design! Sometimes I will manually turn off certain zones when we are home and it is running which can help too. The obstacle avoidance is solid, and it never gets stuck by any of our cats toys or things our kids may leave laying around in the floor which is super nice. Overall I am in love with this robot vacuum, and I am very impressed with the value for such an amazing price!

Unboxing was a breeze. Setup was easily completed. Charged the unit overnight. Mapping the entire house took a couple of hours with a lot of edits. This was necessary to allow for one room cleaning. This feature is included in the application, just a download away from your favorite app store. The object avoidance works alright, some of the dog toys were just pushed along. For the most part it went around bigger items. The brushes worked like a charm with said dog extra fur she leaves around the house. This hair did not get wrapped up in the roller brushes. With the app setting a schedule and letting it run as requested or just launch a new cleanup with a push of the button or a command to Alexa or Hey Google. Unlike most of the other Robot Vacuums I have owned, this model seems to have a better cleaning path, it goes back and forth with a slight overlap not just wandering around. It also did not clean the room then come back a few minutes later and redo the same room. However, like most of the self-dumping robot vacuums I have owned, the emptying of the robot into the base station is still louder than I would like.
