SharkRV2310AE Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum with Bagless, 45-Day Capacity, Self-Cleaning Brushroll for Pet Hair, No Spots Missed on Carpets & Hard Floors, Precision Home Mapping, Wi-Fi, Black

When we bought our house, the old owners left an older 1001ae model shark behind. I got it to work, but it doesn't map everything and cannot be told where NOT to go using the app - we have to leave an ugly magnetic strip on the floor, like behind my office chair because the older shark (Sharkey Gyllenhaal) likes to jail himself in between the chair legs and bounce around doing endless austin powers maneuvers until he runs out of juice.I was still impressed with that old robot enough to want more. When I decided I needed one for my first floor, I did my research based on reviews and found this newer model, and it is a huge upgrade! I also trust the Shark name, so I was not willing to try other manufacturers. This new shark is seriously upgraded! It has Lidar. It zipped through the house very quickly and formed its maps NOT based on bumbling into objects. It was so quick to map, and its maps are very accurate compared to that old model 1001AE. I made 'no go' areas in the app for the new one so it didn't suicide itself down the stairs, though I am sure it would have stopped at the edge. I loved this new one so much, I ordered another new one for the 2nd floor upstairs, and it is just as amazing. At some point, I thought I might try the old one in my bedroom, but it didn't work out, because no matter what, I could not convince it to go all the way into my strange shaped bathroom. But when I got the Matrix, its lidar capabilities saw all the nooks and crannies. Old Sharkey was back to the basement where he runs just fine so long as he stays away from the magnetic strips, which is perfectly fine for a free robot. If you have a chance to upgrade, though, I highly recommend this robot!The suction is incredible on all my shark robots: I stupidly thought we were getting everything with our regular vacuum because there was not much to empty each time you ran it. If you are a pet owner, you will be disgusted with how much dander, dust and pet hair the shark robot picks up, every time more gook! I could build a new cat weekly with what it is finding. I love coming into the room with the neat rows of carpet stripes left after it cleans, and I feel like I have a maid since they save me soooo much time every day! I will be a shark fan for life if these hold up. Add up all the time weekly that you are spending vacuuming your rugs and hard surfaces and imagine not only crossing that off the list but having a house with less dust and dander floating about. I swear it is helping my pet allergies too.

Having used this product now for a couple of weeks I can say this is well worth the price and is very effective at cleaning our tiled floor throughout our apartment including an abundance of Spaniel hairs. The vac is easy to service and empty and does a great job at navigating around obstacles like table and chairs. It can get stuck in tight V shaped corners but that's not surprising. The connectivity with my phone works well but if you lose power you might need to go thru the reconnection process that is straightforward. All in all a great product and no regrets whatsoever in purchasing it.

The. Dust bin gets full easy. I’m on my second air filter. It does a okay job of cleaning.

While relatives have had them for years, this is MY first robot vacuum. In my opinion, this is the BEST budget vacuum at the price point. I purchased one on sale for $139. It was super easy to get started and watch it go with AMAZING results in the dustbin! Okay, so it was purchased to use at my parents' house, but I HAD to test it, right? :) Now, it worked so well, I immediately ordered 2 more (taking advantage of the $ale) and have 2 at my parents' house and one at my own. I use the schedule feature in the app to run mine every day at 9am. It starts up perfectly. With a Basset hound, it does an amazing job of keeping the house livable in between my own vacuum/mop jobs. I'm a firm believer in doing a deep clean with a larger vacuum, but with this running in between, my house is HUGELY improved. To top it off, running it at my parents' house couldn't be easier with the app. I can start and stop them on MY app, and all they have to do is empty the dust bins. I've been running them for a little over a month now, and am very happy with the results.PROS: -Runs much longer than predicted, even on standard power. -Easy to empty dustbin. -It has an Air filter (and despite others saying you have to remove screws to get to it, you don't. The outer mesh is fixed in place with a screw, but the filter cartridge slips out the side). -You can "Set it and forget it" for the most part if you use scheduling. -Compared to a standard vacuum, this baby is VERY quiet. That isn't to say it doesn't make any noise (seriously, it has suction and airflow... it's GONNA make noise). -If you put it in ECO mode, it is even quieter, but regardless of the mode, my basset doesn't run from it. :)CONS: All 3 of the models have a 'different' sound when running. Seriously, they each sound completely different and have different noise levels, which makes me wonder. Next, she -her name is Suzie- completely ignores the boundary strips I purchased to use. (And no, I did NOT place it under anything. I even tested by laying it face up straight across the edge of the carpet... on top. NOPE, she rolls right over it -_- ... and the 2nd one I cut to fit the base of a pole lamp that she kept getting stuck half on/off of. Since it was metal, the strip just magnetically attached to the round base side... NOPE, she still bangs into it. Although she hasn't hopped up onto it anymore so... you be the judge)TIPS: 1st-If you get it on sale, go ahead and add the warranty coverage. I did. In my opinion, a CYA is always a good thing. It gives me piece of mind that if one of them turns out to be a lemon (all things have them, even vehicles) I'm covered. The most I'd have to pay is shipping and that is NOTHING compared to purchasing a new one. Besides, as I said above, they each have a unique motor sound, and I feel better knowing that if there is anything that would take away from the motor life involved, I'll get a repair or a replacement. 2nd-take the time to look at the undercarriage and inspect the roller. You never know what could potentially get wound onto that brush roll, and it's super easy to pop it out and clean it off (if you've ever had a large vacuum, you should already know to do this as regular maintenance). Keep in mind that the harder that brush roll has to work, the more pull it puts on the Motor. Stressing that little thing will potentially take away from its life of service.Final Thoughts? I love it and would recommend it to anybody and everybody. And if it's on sale it is HUGE bang for your buck$!** I gave all 5 stars except the 4 on Deep Cleaning ONLY because of my own beliefs that you need to get out the big vacuum at least once a month (depending on your environment maybe a little more often).
