Shark - AI Ultra Robot Vacuum with Matrix Clean, Home Mapping, HEPA Bagless Self Empty Base, WiFI Connected - Black

Our home is big enough for 3 robot vacs and we have 4 fur babies (2 large and 2 small) and they can bring in dirt, grass and mud when it rains so it is imperative our floor is vacuumed every day. I have previously owned another high dollar brand for years and it worked fine so I thought. You would think for the price a vacuum would automatically go back to its self-emptying, but I was wrong. There were times when it wouldn’t empty or charge. I would get a notice that it wasn’t placed on the charger correctly even after I cleaned the bottom of the vacuum and the charging base. It took several minutes for me to get it to charge. Another issue I had was it would get lost, and I would have to crawl on the floor looking under furniture almost daily. Sometimes it would just stop for no reason and not continue to finish the cleaning cycle. This didn’t happen on one but all 3 of the robot vacs. So, after months of going through this I had enough of this and started researching for a new vacuum and brand. I did research for about a month including reading reviews and watching videos. We decided on the Shark RV2502AE mainly because I liked the two side brushes. Other Shark Self-emptying vacs have only one side brush with air blowing on the other side. We made the purchase and set it up to charge all night. The next morning, I did the explore run and let it map our living room since it is kind of large and blocked off the dining room since I have the Shark VacMop to do that area. When that was done, I set no go zones and then vacuumed. I have used robot vacs for years running them every day but when the Shark Vac finished, I had to look in the self-emptying bin. I was amazed how much it picked up on the max setting since I used the high dollar brand every day. I thought to myself “How could the Shark pick up that much out of the carpet since I vacuumed every day!” So, I turned around and purchased another Shark RV2502AE for the master bedroom, hallway and my office. I like not buying vacuum bags and the filters are washable and easy to find replacements. To clean the vacuum, I have a small blower that can be used to blow the dust and dirt out of it. On the shark website you can purchase a washable pre-motor filter or use the replacements. I like the choices that this vacuum gives you. Some people complain this vacuum is noisy but apparently, they have not heard the brands that I have during vacuuming or emptying. This is a very quiet vacuum even during it self-emptying stage. I can’t say enough about this brand. I own 2 self-emptying, 1 VacMop, 1 steam cleaner all Shark along with kitchen appliances.

In conclusion, if you're tired of constantly battling pet hair and dirt, do yourself a favor and invest in the Shark - AI Ultra Robot Vacuum with Matrix Clean. It's a game-changer for dog owners everywhere! (I also attached a picture of all the dog hair it accumulated in 2 weeks!

This is the first smart vacuum I have owned and so far (3 weeks) very pleased with the results and ease of use I have experienced with it. Opening the box and setup was very easy. The Shark AI comes packaged in layers and requires very little assembly (no tools requires). 2 front facing brushes that are mounted/snapped into place on the front/bottom of the robot and plugging in the power to the charging/base unit is all it takes. There is lots of protective plastic wrap to remove but worth it to prevent post manufacturing scratches. The Shark App is fairly robust in the options available and relatively easy to use and setup. One of the most important items to consider is giving your new vacuum a proper name as you will be asked what you would like to name your new vacuum when setting up your account. Ours is now referred to as Eleanor and she has been a great addition to the family. After setting up your specific criteria for your location and fully charged (takes a few hours) it is time for the initial run. We removed as many obstacles as possible around the house so as to reduce any kind of hangups, problems and to allow for a more thorough scan of the desired areas of the house. It took about 30 minutes for a quick walk through of the house as I would describe it. It was not a full cleaning on the first pass of the house as it was more of an exploratory pass to get a lay of the land. Once this was completed, you have an opportunity to view in the app what was found and fine tune the areas as well as separate, name, schedule and make off limit areas. We have ours setup to clean M,W,F during the week. Originally we had it setup to start around noon but changed it to earlier because of the overall time it took to complete the job each day. She was still cleaning later in the afternoon when we started to arrive home. With the earlier scheduled time, now she has a chance to run through the entire areas before we return home for the day. Right now it takes about 5 hours to complete each days cleaning due to the total square footage requested, in between charging time which is about 2 hours, total times needed to return to the base unit to empty depending on how much dirty is collected each day, and variations to the areas cleaned. We typically empty the base station at the end of each scheduled cleaning day. So far it has not been completely filled. It is more of a way to verify how much is being picked up. A quick side note: Eleanor has done some wondering off the beaten path (inadvertently found an extra room) due to a child gate that was not fully installed and Eleanor found her way into the room after knocking the gate over and getting stuck in the room but only after cleaning it. She had to be rescued and returned to the charging unit that afternoon. We now make sure the gate is installed fully on the days we don't want her to clean that room. Additionally, we have a dog that now has some entertainment during the day as Eleanor makes her cleaning passes through the house. Overall: Great job of reducing the buildup of dog fur and kid dirt throughout the house. The noise level is significantly lower compared to a traditional vacuum while cleaning except for when it is emptying itself which would be more compatible to the levels of a traditional vacuum but only for about 10-20 seconds while emptying. Make sure to check the filters regularly and clean as needed. As with any vacuuming job, there are going to be areas that are not going to be vacuumed unless you move obstacles out of the way. So, if you are looking to get the best cleaning coverage you will need to set chairs up, remove or pickup items from the floor that could get in the way just as you might when manually vacuuming.

Great mapping and amazing at handling dust bunnies on hard wood floors from pets! Highly recommend for pet homes. May have difficulties on longer carpet but is able to traverse area rugs just fine. However, if you don’t have a wifi connection you miss out on many of it key features.

Great product. The mapping of the house is perfect, I can select separate rooms and/or small areas to clean at a time. App works perfectly to set it to clean from anywhere you are. The battery doesn’t last super long, but it goes to the dock when it’s low, charges and goes back to cleaning on its own. Would highly recommend. I do recommend measuring your furniture before buying if you want it to clean underneath it, though.

I freely love my dog again now that David Wallace is on the scene! DW is the name of my fabulous new Shark robot vacuum. Getting the app and the vac to sync due to my backwater Internet was the hardest thing about setup, and even that didn't take too long. Since then, I open the app at work and send David Wallace on cleaning missions. I make sure the dog toys are put away on my way through the house when i leave for the day, so I run him through the living room first thing. I could never keep up with the dog hair problem until now! I love this. Matrix clean even allows me and my OCD to witness the cleaning, though i prefer not to. I'm so glad I opened that Best Buy email advertising a sale (on another brand's vac). I used the compare feature and am so very happy with this purchase. With such clean floors, I'm probably going to be doing a lot more yoga. Or eat the odd M&M that may fall to the floor. It's about the choices we make every day.

The vacuum emptying itself is gamechanger. We don't have to worry about it clogging itself up and breaking down all the time. Picks up tons of hair and the bin is easy to empty without making a mess. It appears to do more a thorough job than both our previous irobot and eufy vacuums.
