Shark - IQ 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop RV2400WD Series

I don’t have experience with eufy robot vacuums but they make top notch stuff. I have 3 of their cameras and they work amazing. I definitely plan on getting more. I currently have the shark IQ 2-1 with detachable mop. I love it so far, I have 2 cats who she’d like crazy and I’m always amazed by how much hair that thing picks up Less than 100 on walmart right now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/2844894680?sid=90d0a03b-e478-43c8-9d2d-01ae53f1ebab

We got the shark iq 2 in 1 mop and vacuum model (I’ll link below) and for just my gf, me, and our two cats, it works really damn well. I was seriously surprised how much shit this thing was able to pull out. We vacuumed about once a week and this has made it so we only have to spot clean. The mop has been a live saver, I even used the spot clean the other day when my gf spilled in the kitchen and the little shark had no issues mopping it up. I feel like shark gets a lot of hate and I don’t know why. Could the battery life be better? Yes. Could the mopping hold more liquid? Yes. Has it changed how I clean my house? 10000%. I could recommend the shark all day. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shark-IQ-2-in-1-Robot-Vacuum-and-Mop-with-Matrix-Clean-Navigation-RV2402WD/2844894680?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

I paid $298, which was on rollback at Walmart from $500 for my shark two and one matrix and I love it

Well listen I love mine there are a lot of different models and maybe I have a good one I don't know but I love it and the price is right

I have a shark IQ two in one, 298 down from 500 at Walmart. I wouldn't pay extra to have one detect me leaving the house.... I can turn it on before I leave or I can turn it on while I'm gone... The latter is useful if the battery is still needing to be charged when I leave. It has to mop every day or at least every other day to stay clean because it's not capable of deep cleaning. But that's easy because it vacuums and mops at the same time. I hardly ever use the vacuum only cartridge. I do if I've let two or three days go by so that way all the crumbs and dust and cat hair get vacuumed up

You have 30 days to return the vast majority of them. Just dive in! I started with one that was like $150 seemed too good to be true but it had all these glowing reviews on Amazon.. of course it was complete s***, but I learned from that what was important to me and what specifically to look for in the next one. I am completely in love with the one that I have and I only paid 298. Obviously it would be nice for it to wash its own mop pads and all of that fancy stuff, but I can't afford it. It self empties in vacuum only mode, but that doesn't really help me because I have all hard floors so I almost always have it vacuum and mop at the same time. What I like about this one, a $500 model that was on sale, is that it maps well, and the mopping is good enough that if I run it every day my floors stay clean enough to walk around barefoot or in socks. I'm not breaking my back to sweep, Swiffer and mop anymore and it's completely wonderful. I do not care that I have to switch out them up pads and refill the water myself. It's a shark IQ two in one matrix.. originally $500 I think it's $599 now at Walmart maybe because of the tariffs... The brush roll never gets stuck even though there's a long haired cat it has to pick up after. I bought extra mopping pads so that I can toss them in the washer and then dry on delicate setting. Best money I ever spent

I have a Shark Detect Pro on my main floor and a Shark IQ in my basement. I also have two long haired GSDs. I run the IQ daily and the Detect Pro twice a day. The rollers do tend to get hair wrapped around them but once or twice a week but I think that’s any robot vacuum. The single side brushes that come on the robots are lame. Amazon has replacements that have 3 brushes, I recommend those. The dust bin also needs to be emptied every week, not 30 days like advertised. I only have hard floors so I can’t comment on how it handles carpet. The app is terrible and I use Google Assistant to have the robots run according to my schedules.

Don't get a roomba. I got the J7+ for the pet and toy friendly avoidance options and half the time it isnt running because of a clog in the vaccuum bin or base station. The bin is usually easy to fix, but this last time it was the tube that goes to the bag (another expense i didnt have with the shark) and that required disassembly. It also burnt out its suction fan in the first month I had it, prompting a warranty replacement of the part which meant had to disassemble the unit, install the new part, and send back the defective part. Incredibly frustrating. Comparatively, my shark IQ that I sent to the basement for eating too many toys runs consistently and clogs *maybe* once every 3 months, but the shark app sucks nuts, and the model I have uses the black strips for keep-out zones so it just ran everywhere and I prayed it didnt eat any cables. Its very robust about going up and doen ledges, but it is also way more prone to tracking pet messes about, that happened once with a pile of cat vomit and I was a little traumatized.

I have the J7+ and it does get up pet hair well on hard floors, BUT it clogs constantly. It can't handle any debris larger than a quarter in diameter at most without it getting stuck in the bin due to the size of the emptying tube. I have a kid whose paper scraps freqently end up on the floor and those clog it about once every 2 weeks and prompt me to have to take apart the base. If I dodnt spend so much on it Id have thrown it away by now. My shark IQ did not have that problem, but its app sucked and it runs over a lot more stuff. It has eaten and unloaded barbie shoes into its base, wheras the roomba i always find the shoes in the unit when it throws an error.

I definitely see the utility of a robot vacuum, but I’d recommend having a good primary bagged vacuum first and then investing in a good bagged robot vacuum as a secondary. Not sure you’ll find that in your budget, so you might need to save up for it. FWIW, I have this one: https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/shark-iq-robot-vacuum-review-map-out-and-clean-your-smart-home-for-under-dollar400 and it’s a piece of shit 3 years after buying it. It’s constantly trying to throw itself down the stairs and it gets lost a lot.

I just want to tell you how helpful these things are. I bought a SharkIQ (should have bought a roborock) when it was on deep discount on Prime day. What makes this different is that I have a big workshop/shed which is dusty/dirty and an absolute maze. The Shark managed over a few weeks get all the dust and dirt under control despite it not really being designed to work in this way and on rough concrete. I chose the shark specifically because it had brushes, not rubber rollers, not many with brushes and almost bought a Makita DRC300Z as that is more what is technically needed. (no HA integration and it requires connecting to the AP in the vac to control it via app, no infra mode at least when I was looking at it) Robot vacs are worth their weight in gold to many with ADHD. Many of us do not see mess, dust, dog hair etc. HA in general is scaffolding to help with my (and my wife's) neurodivergent wiring, and the vac is just a great addition to all this. Unfortunately the SharkIQ integration is having [ongoing issues with re-authentication](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/123392) which appears to be Shark changing their API.

After several frustrating years with my Shark IQ, and just a week with my Roborock, 1000% suggest Roborock.

My shark IQ died after 1 year due to cliff sensors always detecting cliff in flat surface. Looked online and it seems pretty common with shark robots

No. We have a 2400' house with mostly stone flooring and a few rugs. We live in Arizona so it's a bit dusty. I had a Shark IQ and it would fill it's bin pretty quickly so I thought it was doing a good job on the floors. Then I got a Roborock from Costo with a mop. I was shocked. The waste water looked like tar for about 2 weeks. SO GROSS! Now it looks just mildly cloudy. Our floors were dirty and I just didn't know it. Ick. Super happy now.

Same one here. Super happy with it. I had no idea how dirty our floors were. They looked clean. We dusted and mopped. We had a Shark IQ. We thought they were clean. But nope. They were gross. For the first 2 weeks the waste water from the Roborock looked like thick mud. Now it's just mildly cloudy. Our floors look way different. Like they had just been honed (that's a thing you do now and again with stone floors - don't ask - its a horrific procedure).

My old Roomba was retired after it found a wet dog turd and poo-buttered my entire apartment. My Shark IQ is much better but it gets tangled up or stuck fairly often. Floor grates, cords but even things like a plate of dog food (which can get gross). My Roborock does a lot better at avoiding things but a cell phone charger cord can still clog him up pretty bad. No way to avoid it, if you want a good job you really do have to pick up clutter.

I got the Costco Roborock Revo Q (I think that's what it's called). Super happy with it. Can't tell you about any of the others but for sure get one with a mop. I had the Shark IQ and it kept chewing baseboards and banging hard into stuff. And yes, get it at Costco obviously. Costco is the best because of the return policy.

Rad! Those were the two brands I was kinda thinking made sense for repairability, so it's good to have that validation. Sharks are so dang annoying cus even their website is missing major pieces (like the motorized wheels lol) and not knowing if the problem is *actually* the wheel or something else makes the $100 a hard pill to swallow when the thing was $300 in the first place. Looks like I'll be looking at some irobots or roborocks!

I have a Dream L40 Ultra (I think that's what it is) and it only cleans my first floor, which is maybe 800 sqft? I couldn't imagine not having that thing mop and vacuum every night. It's amazing. We first got a robot vacuum (Shark IQ) right after moving in because my wife wanted to vacuum every day and I thought that was crazy, I'm not spending 15 minutes each day to make lines in a rug. I will never go back, and in fact I bought my family L40 Ultra's when they were on sale for Prime day because it's such a game changer in keeping the house clean.

My shark IQ would do that. Many times we found a shoe that was in run room ended up being in another room he he he. That shark IQ was a brute. Once I did a mapping of the house, it was very graceful and gentle around the boundaries but anything such as dog toys or shoes left about would be pushed away. Basically, I had to baby proof my house for it to work more efficient Anyway, I’ve upgraded to a iRobot that’s supposed to go around any object objects in the way

I like my Shark honestly. It’s an old IQ so I am sure they have even better ones now. It’s quiet, has worked for years, self empties, you can easily get filters, picks up my hair and my cats, dust, carpet fiber, crumbs, good filter system, small dock and the vac fits under furniture. I think the Roomba is really loud got one and returned it. The Roborock is pretty big and good at mopping but worse than my shark at vacuuming. Also hard to get replacements filters and the filter system isn’t the best for allergies.

I have all hard floors, so yes.

I'm sorry.I thought this was in the thread where I already had. Shark matrix two and one. There are like twenty different varieties under that same heading. I do not know how to tell you how to tell the difference between the models. 😞

People on here complain about the kind I have but I think it is great for the price, and i'm unwilling to pay more. It's a shark matrix two and one. And my personal opinion, it does all the important things well. It maps well, so it doesn't miss spots, it has object avoidance, so it will gently bump into furniture or whatever, but not harm it. It doesn't mop as well as I could, but running it daily solves that problem. Running it daily, my floors are immaculate. I can walk around barefoot or in socks. I have all hard floors, so I can't say how it does have carpet. It empties itself in vacuum only mode, but that doesn't really do me any good because i'm always having it mop also. I don't mind changing out the mop pat myself, emptying the vacuum part of the two and one, and refilling the reservoir. I mean, sure if I were well off, i would get a 1200 one to save me from bending, over and dealing with all that, but for the price point I don't mind at all. I can't tell you how much I love it. I have a condition that makes mopping entirely too painful.

Yuck. I got a shark two in one for 298 on sale from five hundred. Worth every penny. It doesn't miss anywhere, and it has object avoidance

I have a far lower budget. I have a shark matrix two and one, there are many varieties, mine was at the five hundred mark starting off, on sale for $298. It empties itself when it's in vacuum only mode, which doesn't do me any good because i'm always having to mop since I also have LVP. I am happy with it, but I see a lot of complaints here about it. Since your budget is higher, you can get a better one!

I have the same one and I agree

I've got a Shark something-or-other that has a "matrix clean" function (Dreame does something similar, I think) where after it finishes an area/room, it goes back and does it again running perpendicular to the run it just finished. I don't have any idea about the *actual* efficacy, but my spouse ("it's not vacuumed until you've gone over the same spot in 3 different directions") ***loves*** it. Since 'perception is reality', our carpets are cleaner because my spouse perceives them to be so.

My Shark is just over one year old out of warranty. I was very happy with it but it just stopped dispensing cleaner when mopping. A common problem with these. There is no fix for it. I’ve tried everything.

I'm quite happy with the Shark vac mop that I got about a week ago. I paid $600. I know Shark isn't often a recommended brand on here but I've had great luck with them. I'm happy with both the mop & vacuum features on this. It can tell the difference between carpet & hard floor & it is very thorough.

I have two Shark ones now and it's one of my fav home items. I have the mop and vac one.

I think it works pretty good! I use the floor cleaner that goes with the machine and think it's super helpful. I still will mop myself here or there but it def does a great job. I don't see any streaks when it's done.

Yesss it works great!

Avoid shark robots . Just a year in, my shark lidar based robot died. My 4 year old roomba is still kicking fine

I got a refurbished shark that self empties and mop for $100 on woot. Works better than that $700 roomba

yes. we have three shibas and *had* two automatic vaccums until one of them succumbed from dog hair and the other one is literally on its last leg. highly recommend, as well as the shark vac/mop!

What vacuum is this? I’ve been trying difference vac/mop robots I just had the Shark matrix clean and it was terrible would just leak water everywhere when “mopping” was only good as a vacuum but this one looks like it did an amazing job. I also have a carpet in my living room which send the robot for a loop. It wouldn’t know what to do. Sometimes mopping the carpet or skipping it altogether lol.

Fail. The tail furs are too long and strong and the roller kept snapping. I had the pet model too. Gave it away and have been happier with the Dyson and a handheld

I had one of the higher end Sharks, can't remember the model, and I thought I liked it. It touted laser mapping, advanced schedules, etc. But then I got the Roborock Q Revo and it absolutely blew me away; made me realize how shitty the Shark was. At every level it's better: primarily it cleans way better, but also the app is better, it's actually easy to get replacement parts, and a ton of minor things that make it feel polished, like the robot will announce on its own device speaker what's happening, like why it got stuck or why it's returning to a dock. Contrast this with a few friends of mine that have even worse vacuums than the Shark: theirs get stuck all the time, can't find their way home to the dock, they end up not using it at all. Long story short, based on my experience it's absolutely worth spending good money to get a good robot vacuum.
