Shark RV912S EZ Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Base, Bagless, Row-by-Row Cleaning, Perfect for Pet Hair, Compatible with Alexa, Wi-Fi, Dark Gray

My wife wanted one of these vacs for Mothers Day for our bedroom. Although animals are not permitted in our room our cats are homing missile for my pillow which is not a good thing for a person is mild cat allergies. I still got the unit rated for pet hair in case we would run it elsewhere in the house. The beater bar does not stay as clean as I would expect but it is easy enough to clean. Overall, it does a good job has tendency to get itself hung up on recliners with swivel bases. Overall, I would recommend this product. The one complaint I have the App based wifi connection process is terrible. More specifically the connection process to wifi used internally to the Shark. Once connected the app is ok. Not to go to techno nerd here but in simple terms. The connection sequence the Shark uses is far too slow, clumsy, and timeouts too quickly. I tried for almost 90 minutes to connect this device to my wifi per the instructions despite trying numerous times and variations of interpretations of the instructions the connection would start and right at the end it would fail. I am technically advanced I checked my wifi logs the Shark would timeout right before a network address was assigned. I called Shark support they would have been helpful to a non-technical person as 1st level had me try what I had already done and then said 2nd level would call within 24 hours. No call from 2nd level. I decided to try one more thing to make the connection before returning the product. I pre-assigned a network address to the Shark which cut down on the negotiating time and allowed for a successful connection. I am not going to say everyone will experience this problem but I can tell you my network gear is all less than a year old and it took high level technical knowledge to get a successful connection.

This guy gets the job done at a reasonable price. It does need babysitting BUT it has had very few issues. We are pleased.

Works great.

Love it! Works great for pet hair (2 dogs and 1 cat).

I have 2 large dogs - A German Shepherd and an Australian Shepherd. I have to manually clean this out once a day because the hair gets trapped/stuck. Even when it docks to vacuum it all out. It is also not as smart as I thought itd be. It doesnt learn patterns or anything. The app is super basic. Clean, standard of clean, or dock. Does not come with barrier straps to prevent rooms from being cleaned. Gets stuck on room dividers on the floor.

I have three dogs and 1 cat. I have run this robot every day since I got it and I am so impressed with it. You definitely still have to sweep the nooks and crannies or corners of the house now and then but it gets under things I couldn’t without moving the furniture. I also have a living room that is one stair down from the rest of my first floor. I’ve moved this robot down to my living room and it cleaned the entire thing, then I moved it back to the floor it’s docking base is on, and it continued with no problems. I would highly recommend this product.

I named her Rosie and she does a great job and saves my back from long pain. I am quite satisfied and will tell others how pleased I am!

This vacuum has been a game changer. It runs every day when I leave for work and I come home to FAR less fur from my Labrador.

Super easy to set up. Pretty quiet when running. Did a really good job as a maintenance clean up between vacuuming with the upright. I am really happy I purchased it as it was kind of a spur of the moment idea and I found a used but like new item at a great price! Very high quality Shark product. Would definitely recommend it to someone who would like help with pet hair between vacuuming sessions.

So just an fyi, great product, the app is simple and effective, the machine is pretty smart and works well on carpet and hardwood, however, if you have those dongle-door stoppers that are at the bottom of the wall, I recommend just Covering the power switch with tape to protect it from the dongle.
