Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base, Bagless, 60-Day Capacity, LIDAR Navigation, Perfect for Pet Hair, Compatible with Alexa, Wi-Fi Connected, Carpet & Hard Floor, Black

Love the way this unit operates and it does a great job, even into the corners. It runs smoothly and has great features to set cleaning schedules, map the home, and direct clean certain trouble areas. It picks up pet hair and random pieces of kitty litter (tossed out by the cat) with ease.

I am shocked at how well this Shark robot works! It is better than my swiffer and vacuum. I have 2 yellow Labradors and this is great to keep the floors looking good! I wish I bought this sooner!

I have owned and still own the IRobot. Shark knocks the IRobot to the curb! I will only own Shark auto cleaner from now on. I now have three and the IRobot is in the attic for a yard sale.

We first purchased a Shark AV911S Robot Vacuum from Amazon. We named it Bob. It was just OK. It did a fine job of actually cleaning, but then, after less than 6 weeks, it started throwing notices that saying that the charging power source was incompatible with the charging station (we live in the US and have standad 120V power in the house). And multiple times it failed to return to the station for recharging, and just petered out where it lay. There was no room mapping feature, and I likened it to a blind man just feeling his way around bumping into things. If it got into a corner, sometimes it would take literally a minute or two just to get out of the corner. We renamed it (at the risk of being politically incorrect) Bob the Ret*rd). Interestingly, I was unable to write a review for the AV911S as Amazon aid there was too much review activity for that unit, and that only verified purchasers would be able to review. Hmmm....sounds fishy to me. So we finally gave up on it and returned it and purchased the Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA and self emptying base - which is what we should have purchased in the first place. This robot DOES have room mapping, which is a great feature. It also has LIDAR, so it does not feel its way around just by bumping into walls and objects. It actively sees objects and avoids them without hitting them. We have only had this for a couple of weeks, but as I write this, I sent it to the master bedroom to clean, and voila, it went straight to the MB. So far so good, and I really like this robot (also named Bob. And this one, so far, remains just Bob).

No issues at all. Love this machine

Great for hard floors, kinda iffy on our low pile rug. We bought it to reduce the sweeping and vacuuming needed on our hard floors so its performing as we need it to. We have a 5yr old boy and a dalmatian so dirt and dog hair are forever on our floors. The tank says it can hold 45-60 days of debris but we can only get 7 days out of it. I guess that shows how much its really working. As per other reviews, it does get a lot of scratches. I even put felt furniture bumpers on it to prevent the majority of them but its still somehow managing to look like its 2 years old after a month of use. All in all it does what I need it to and I would recommend it to a friend or family member based on its current performance.

I bought this because Im disabled and I wish now that I had bought it sooner!

I researched and studied and tossed it back and forth in my mind forever….. and now I feel stupid because this f’n thing is amazing! I have a dog and a cat and Steve (I named it Steve) has gobbled up every strand of fur there is. There is also something incredible about the carpet ALWAYS having nice straight clean vacuum lines! I’ve already bought another one for my downstairs! One will do both levels but I’m too lazy to carry it.

The app isn’t as nice as the roomba app, you can’t schedule cleaning multiple times a day. Or use it in other levels of a home. Hopefully Shark will improve the app soon. But other than that this beats my roomba in every other way. Quieter, more efficient, better mapping, less bumping and scuffing. It never gets lost, stuck or quits at a cliff. The whiskers spin slower so they don’t fling things around. The rollers don’t fill with dog hair and need cleaned every week and I have yet to come home and find it uncharged, hidden under a sofa and not on the dock. I did not think I’d like the auto empty feature but I do, very much. And I like that it’ll empty midway thru cleaning and go back to work. So much less dust when I don’t have to empty the tiny bin daily. I just wish these things cleaned pet hair just a little bit better and it’d almost replace my upright or stick vac….but that’s just not the case. But it helps.

The vacuum robot is very good on cleaning and it goes back to charge and finish the house
