Shark - AV2501S AI Ultra Robot Vacuum

i have a shark with a bin it dumps to and that has beeeennnn peerfect for bunny nuggets and hair. maaaayve once in a blue moon i have to clean out the hair from the rollers, but once a month or two i dump the large bin. way more convenient than doing it once a day or so. also maps out the floor plan and i can turn it on/off from my phone https://a.co/d/8Ty6ELu

I love my shark. I've had it for 3 years and no issues. I copied the whole description...lol..."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"...I got mine off Amazon

My wife and I just got this one and it's been great so far. https://a.co/d/05vTU4Dt

I have the Shark AV2501S. $550 on Amazon. Does a great job picking up dog hair. Only needs emptied like once a month.

Good unpopular opinion apparently. I had a coworker that would vacuum without glasses and miss half the floor. I feel the same way about robot vacuums I currently have the top of the line shark with ai and can’t it to work reliably, maybe I don’t have the best setup. I kinda prefer pulling out my shark, or Dyson and knowing for a fact it’s clean.

What about a Shark Matrix? They self empty and hold a lot of dirt and do a good job cleaning. I have the Shark AI (which is $279 on amazon) and I love it. Dustbin is big and no bag required, super easy to dump. It has a few filters that you need to find and clean, but I really like that too. It's got some HEPA stuff. It works hard and doesn't freak out too often; the app is pretty solid.

I use two mid-grade robots to keep my main floor clean and I rarely haul out my old manual vacuum. My Shark AI is loud, but a total workhorse. No mopping. The Yeedi cube I have mops and cleans- poorly at best. You're looking at the models I am. The Yeedi parent brand is Ecovacs, just for reference. I loved my oldest Yeedi, it was super tough. I'm hesitant to invest in another Yeedi, but people do love them! They probably got better since my last purchase. Roborock S8 (MaxVUltra) is the other one I've looked closely at... but sometimes people say not worth the cost. Investing $999 in a vacuum is a big deal! The Eureka J15 looks cool. The Dreme X40 is the best discounted price on Amazon right now. As the robots get better, I really want one that vacuums and mops well. I have kids, cats and dogs, plus boys who cheat and don't take their boots off when I'm not home. I work a ton, so I really want something I can set and monitor from my office while I'm away.

I love my older Shark AI for vacuuming. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats and that thing is amazing, and tough. I have a new i3 and it still can’t touch the capacity the Shark has for vacuuming.

Our iRobot j7+ has been going strong for 3 years. It occasionally pukes out whatever it just collected but overall does a great job. We also have two shark AI in the basement and on the bedroom level - they’re just not as good as the roomba. Fine but not as thorough.

I sometimes wonder if I have the best C20 ever released, as after 14 months I think it works as well as the day it arrived, and I'm always surprised when people cite bad reviews. Are my expectations for a robot too low? No idea, but I think this machine is really good for the price. It handles our long haired dogs and humans well - the cutter comb really works. The only place it is less brilliant is object avoidance, but it's WAY better than our Shark AI, and also has an infinitely better app. Here's the user review I wrote at 5 months: https://www.reddit.com/r/RobotVacuums/s/A8hllOT4MB

My Shark AI robot vacuum goes over most area rugs with no problem. I love it so much! I bought a second one, a vacuum-mop version - this one can be programmed to go around the rugs when mopping. Now all have to do is to take the time to set those parameters up.

I have a Shark AI vacuum only and I love it! Was $150 on Facebook Marketplace. We use it for our carpeted lower level. However, after only a few weeks, it has stopped returning to its dock when its battery is low - each day, I have to go find it and carry it back. Then I picked up a Shark vacuum-mop and it’s been a fair amount of problems. I am going to use it while I research better vac-mops.

I’ve concluded through a lot of trial and error that robot vacuums (even the expensive ones) just aren’t up to the task of Lab hair. I use a Shark AI to do a daily sweep, and that’s really what it’s good for. My big Dyson upright comes out on Saturday morning to do a proper deep-clean.
