"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"has withstood the last week of winds over 70 freezing kph."
"I've used it daily for at least 10 years now, probably closer to 15 and apart from the fact you need to clean it periodically, it's still works like brand new."

"On hard floors it was as exceptional and never left a piece of cat litter in between the wood planks."
"And my dust bag was full the first month. ... We have 3 highly shedding dogs and the roborock qrevo master does well but evidently the p50 does better. The roborock bag wouldn't be full the first month like this."
"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."

"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."
"Get one that has the auto empty dock. I empty mine every couple of days that way."

"It maps way better too, plus it does the whole map in one pass. ... The roomba didn't properly map my house for 3 months."
"I can set no-go zones."
"I have it on a schedule to run every morning at a set time ... I can also start it with the app even when I'm not home if. ... I can pick "no-go" zones and also pick specific spots for it to clean rather than the entire room."

"Hair Pickup on carpet is better than the S7 MaxV but still worse than the Neato D7. ... I confirmed this by running the S7 Max V first (with rubber brush), on my upstairs carpeted room - that I purposely haven't vacuumed in a week. S7 Max V barely got anything and had some wrapped around the edges - as it does. ... For me yes but I say that mostly because of the tangle free vacuuming of pet hair and the improved hair pickup on carpets. I was tired of cleaning out the old one and so far with this I have zero tangles. ... The S7 MaxV had the worst hair pickup on carpets, with the stock rubber brush, of all the bots I ever owned. Tangles were minimal but it didn't do well taking hair off the carpets (it did great on the hardwood/tile though). Swapping out the rubber to the bristle brush improved the pickup but increased the tangle problem - it also created a problem with auto-empty for me a few times. ... It mops/vacuums significantly better than my S7 MaxV. Especially on carpets (especially especially pulling dog hair off carpets). ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."
"quite frankly, it's sh*t. ... It can't handle pet hair ... but it just doesn't deal with pet hair."
"J8+ barfs hair clumps over one of our rugs ... My J8 leaves hair clumps even when run daily. ... If I run the vacuum every day it’ll do the rug just fine. May leave 1-2 ropes. If I don’t run it every day, there will be more. ... The borders of the rug is where there are always ropes. ... I can run the robot twice and there will be ropes. ... I can run the Dyson then the robot and there will be ropes. ... I can pull the edges up, dyson under the rug, then Dyson the entire top of the rug and the robot runs—guess what I get along the edges? Ropes. ... However in real life my J8 is a fail in this use case. ... J8+ is meh for Pets. ... the j8+ barfs hair clumps all over one of our rugs."

"Just know the app is buggy and has little options for the robot"
"all I could get it to do was spot clean by putting it where I wanted."
"But if I was looking for something with a mop I probably would look at a different brand with a more robust app."

"The Sharks left behind pools of water in the tests, there is no way to turn it off. ... its leaves the floors worse (streaky and dirty) than if it had never mopped."

"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."
"Where they have never done a great job is on Oriental Rugs. ... The golden hair just kind of balls up or gets stuck on the edge. ... Ran it last night on a rug that hadn't been hit in a week or so and it actually looked worse when I woke up because so much hair was brought to the edges."

"the robot has no obstacle avoidance ... In terms of obstacles, that‘s pretty much the main reason why I added the 10R to my other floor where my cat and his toys are, it has great obstacle avoidance."
"I have a roomba we named homewrecker because it leaves a trail of destruction behind it. ... It always knocks over something or gets tangled up in wires."
"God forbid when you are training the ai(?) by reviewing the photos you ever allow anything as ... not an obstacle ... then it will run over similar things forever. Like string, after I told it a cord off the ground was not an obstacle. :("
I just bought this fucker and they sent it straight from the manufacturer, with no Dust bins. Immediate sent it back and bought another Roomba.
r/RobotVacuums • Review on the Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop ->Not BIFL, but our Shark (get the self emptying base!) has withstood 4 cats, a long haired dog, 3 adults, a toddler, and a long haired teenager for 4 years and still doing well. I was incredibly disappointed in the original roomba I tried. If you do buy a shark buy directly from them. Their customer service is phenomenal. I bought one through a home improvement store as it was on sale. It had a charging issue within 12 months and when I called Shark I was told that since I hadn’t bought from them they couldn’t cover the full replacement even under warranty. BUT if I paid shipping they would send me a new one - $34 later I had a new one on the way. Bonus points as I was able to fix the original and had two robot vacs for the price of 1+ shipping.
r/BuyItForLife • Robot vacuum recommendation? ->I have a dog that never stops shedding. And I just got two cats. I have the Shark robot vacuum that self empties. I love it. I still vacuum every couple of days and get plenty of fur and dirt but I know it picks up its fair share because I empty the reservoir once every week or so and there is plenty in there. I can tell if it doesn’t run for a couple days because I will notice the floors not being as clean. I typically just have it run every day while I’m at work on a timer so I come home to fresh carpet lines. It’s worth spending a little more on these robot vacuums because the self emptying is huge, especially if you have square footage to cover. But 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.
r/CleaningTips • I'm about to check myself in a mental institution ->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!
r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • Best affordable mopping robot ->I have the Shark that empties itself. Only does one floor and mixed hard wood and rugs. Empties itself twice while cleaning and does a pretty good job.
r/husky • Robot Vacuums? ->I have owned the Shark Powerdetect 2 in 1 Nevertouch pro for about a month. I will admit the app needs work, but is functional. The robot hardware and software works great for both mopping and vacuuming for me.
r/RobotVacuums • Of these three options, which are the best for hardwood/carpet/rug combo, and pet hair? ->Of course! [This](https://www.sharkclean.com/products/shark-powerdetect-2-in-1-robot-vacuum-and-mop-with-nevertouch-pro-base-zidRV2820ZECA) is the one I use! I’ve used Shark for years! And when my other Shark robot stopped working out of warranty, they didn’t hesitate to send me a brand new one. They’re life savers for me!
r/CleaningTips • I hate mopping. Should I just get a robot vacuum? ->It has separate tanks on the robot and the base… dirty water never touches clean water… my floors are not getting mopped with dirty water….
r/CleaningTips • I hate mopping. Should I just get a robot vacuum? ->Since you love Shark already, I'm not sure what model Shark you were looking at, but there is definitely a model called "Never Touch" that is self emptying and has water reservoirs and everything. On Amazon it's the AV2800ZE.
r/RobotVacuums • Need help picking vacuum mop combo! ->Mine is a vacuum-only Shark Powerdetect. In the 4 months I've had it it has only gotten stuck once, and that was on a very challenging piece of furniture. It hasn't gotten stuck other than that one time, and I run it daily. We do keep a very tidy apartment, so other folks might have more challenges. On sale, I got mine for $350. Less than 1/3 the cost of the Matic.
r/RobotVacuums • The Verge Review: The Matic robot vacuum is smarter, quieter, and gets the job done ->Well 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.
