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

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.

Hi Amanda. Thank you so much for all of your research and testing these in a real environment. I've stood by Shark and have loved it when I got my new model Jan 2024, but after three units in as many years, third strike you're out. I see the consensus here is Dreame or Roborock so I'm on day two of researching your posts here while utilizing ChatGPT and honestly, I have no idea what I want based on so many options out there, but I don't want to break the bank on this either. I want to get the best deal I can for Prime/sale, ideally would like to stay around $600ish give or take, but I need something reliable as we live in the AZ desert with 1800 sqft of LVP/tile, four humans consistantly on the go, two dogs (pitty and yorkiepoo with their dog door), and a long haired hamster who gets bedding all over the house. I appreciate all of your help.

That’s the only thing; I had one too and it worked good.

After three years, I just had to get rid of our shark AI becasue our pup had an accident, and well the rest is history. I loved our shark and while I'm inclined to purchase the same one again, I'm wondering if there is something better for no more than $500.

I had our bagless Shark for three years with no issues

My home sellers gifted me their shark AI Vac. This is my first robot so nothing to compare it with but he is truly life changing. I have 4 dogs and a cat. LVP floors throughout with a few area rugs. I schedule “Lurch” to clean the whole house daily in the app. There is also an option to matrix clean rooms which I use for the area rugs a few times a week. He has been hard at work for 6 months. Does a great job with minimal intervention needed. As you can imagine with so many pets the 60 day dustbin fills up in days. I’m amazed by how much dirt is collected and how clean the house stays. I do clean and use the stick vacuum weekly to get areas the robot can’t do, behind doors and under some of the furniture. Really minimal dirt and hair found. Prior to the robot missing one day of sweeping or vacuuming would result in dog hair tumbleweeds and even when I did manage to keep up daily tasks the weekly deep clean was a lot. Considering upgrading to a mopping robot and like the shark enough to consider its newest model. The plain vacuum is often available on Amazon for less than 300 dollars

Robot vacuum was life changing. 4 big dogs and a cat. shark AI with self empty bin. It amazes me just how much filth this thing picks up. I manually clean once a week, have a bissel pet vacuum that seems to work fine for places the robot can’t go
