"splurge for the self emptying because if you have to empty it every time you're less likely to use it. We only have to empty ours like once a month and I have a 14mo and a 3yo who drop crumbs everywhere. ... we have a Shark with a large self emptying bin and that thing is great for the price point."
"It saved me so much anxiety and time because I was constantly fighting to make my floors feel clean. ... Now I just have to spot clean and vacuum the corners where the robot can’t reach."
"we have a german shepherd and she sheds all the time. this robot vac has kept up with the dog hair and kept our floors clean for 3 1/2 years now with no issues. ... we run it daily only on our hardwood floors downstairs."

"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."

"Still it is less work than keeping up with all that fur."

"it is also so much smarter than the older cheaper brand I had that would constantly get stuck and just bounce around the rooms willy-nilly. This one maps it out and covers all the floor space efficiently."
"no issues with the app so far"

HazardousHD 1.0I currently have the Shark Matrix Robot Vacuum (UR235BCDUS) and I have been extremely pleased with its performance for the price. For only 80$ used off ebay, I have gotten at least 2 years of use out of it on carpet and recently hardwood with no major issue. With the introduction of Hardwood floors throughout my house, I have thought about looking at a mopping alternative/upgrade. I am looking used in my area so just trying to get some ideas on upgrade paths I can look into. I would love the unit to be: \- Full Docking Station with Clean/Dirty Water and Dustbin \- Bagless Dust Bin \- Some type of self-cleaning of the Mop feature \- Decent App/App Feature Set Would love some thoughts n opinions. If this isnt the right sub/post structure, pls lmk
Not worried about budget currently. Just testing the waters with what folks actually use. I really like the bagless design on my Shark Matrix. I have a dog that sheds enough that may make the bag replacement cost stack up really fast. Another small pro is that it makes it incredibly easy to empty. It seems like Shark is the only company with bagless offerings. If that limits the pool too much, maybe ill need to do further research on the bag cost long term..
k9rap 0.3we bought a shark self emptying (rv140) a few years ago from lowe’s and it’s been one of the best purchases we’ve made for our house. we have a german shepherd and she sheds all the time. this robot vac has kept up with the dog hair and kept our floors clean for 3 1/2 years now with no issues. we run it daily only on our hardwood floors downstairs. highly recommend.
JellySignificant8964 0.3Keep the shark. In my experience they last a lot longer than roomba.
Illustrious_Dust_0 0.2Shark matrix self-emptying. I like it because I can schedule it to run every evening. It’s moves from hard floor to rugs easily

TheWorstMigrane 0.1Shark matrix - 10000 pa - no mop - less than 200 on Amazon with a 30 day dustbin. Thank me later 💯
It's the suction rating on the product description. Although some people believe the pa rating might be skewed or inaccurate from lab tests vs at home tests. What I can say is I bought it and it's amazing
Gadgetskopf 0.1I'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.
casteezyboy 0.0I got the shark matrix with the self empty base without the mop. Works great and no issues with the app so far, I also like that It has Google home integration. I paid $200 at Costco, not sure I would pay much more than that. I would look into the refurbished ones I think they get down to like $150
cat-kitty 0.0Well it's definitely not the BEST robot vacuum, because I'm a little on the cheap side and I don't have to have the best thing, but I really like my shark vacuum because they have a patented "lint roller" that keeps pet hair and string from getting tangled or building up on the roller. It's the lidar kind with the self empty base. The self empty base is a must have imo. Running this daily keeps the pet hair tumbleweeds from taking over the house. Doesn't do great on carpet though.
jennifer_m13 0.0We have a Dreame that self empties and will mop. It’s in the pricey side, but we’ve also had n auto emptying Shark that I really liked and a Roborock that did very well but you have to empty. FWIW we have two large dogs (Alaskan Malamute and Great Pyrenees) and 8 cats.
