Shark - PowerDetect 2-in-1

Shark nevertouch combo from Costco is amazing. See my comment above. It’s around 550.

I recently got a shark nevertouch combo robot from Costco and it’s amazing! I first tried a roborock and iRobot j9. The shark is better and I researched and watched videos on more expensive ones and it gets my floors so clean I think it’s the best but right now. The roborock was horrible on carpet. My first was a neato d7. It vacuums really well. New one had to at least come close!

I think mopping by robots, even the more advanced ones, is quite superficial, but the vacuuming can be very good. I have had a 360robot S10 that cleaned my living room carpet for a year, once per week. I also used a Dyson-style stick vacuum to clean the same carpet once in a while. I now received a Shark PowerDetect (RV2800ZEEU) through Amazon Vine and in it's first run over the same carpet, it managed to collect an impressive amount of dust. Not new dust, but dust that the other vacuums did not get out. So good robots can do a deep cleaning, as far as vacuuming is concerned. The Shark is 700€. It's mechanics are vastly superior to the 360robot, which is great for the price (250€).

Daily vacuuming is a must with a ragdoll. Just add up your hourly rate and you will see how quickly the robot will pay for itself. I have one on each level of my house and run them daily. No raggie tumbleweeds! I also comb my raggie every night while watching TV! (I have the Shark robots from Costco. Mapped my house, work perfectly)

Shark, whatever self-emptying model Costco has. I got mine a couple years ago, it cleans well, handles pet hair better than any other vacuum I've tried (my long-haired super-floof is a vacuum killer) and it maps nicely for logical cleaning. I use mine with hardwood floors and carpet (mix of real carpet and area rugs) and it handles all of it well. They just added some smart voice skills which I haven't tried yet, but controlling the robot from the app or the buttons on top of it is very easy. With the app it can be set to clean only one room, or clean the entire house on a regular schedule. My only complaint is that I can't schedule just specific rooms to clean regularly, I'd love to be able to do the most kitty-messy space daily and the whole house only every 2-3 days.

I have the Costco shark too, and it's great for a two cat household.

I have the shark from Costco , it works fine. About 1 time a week you need to clean out the hair that accumulates in the robot. That said it works well. Get the one with the AI mapping of your home and the 30 day bin. ( said bin will be full of fur every week ) ( my robot would go around napping dog and come back later )

I used to do reviews and have had a few. I had an I-home I purchased myself and it was the worst. Broke multiple times (from hair and dog hair on the roller) ultimately I got my money back after a few replacements. I have been using a shark from Costco. It works well but the software sucks. It doesn’t track itself on the map and invisible barriers seem to not be recognized or poorly managed. The best I have had is roborock. It lasted and the software sucked less. Replacement parts like the brush roller were readily available. It’s more expensive but get the external self emptying thing. Mine fills with dog fur quickly. Also be sure to get the laser guided mapping ones. Again it’s more expensive but allows you to really fine tune where it goes and does not go. Mopping wise there are pad ones that basically drag a microfiber cloth around. They are ok but not great. The ones with the rotating pads I haven’t tested but would seem to work much better. As with a lot of tech products and appliances like this they wear and are built to just replace. They fail and the tech becomes dated. I wouldn’t say any of them are buy it for life.

We have the Roomba j7+ We did a fair amount of research before getting it and watched YT videos comparing all the different makes and models and this was highly rated for pet hair. It’s pretty good - but like others have said you do have to spend time cleaning the hair out of the wheels which is an annoying and dirty job and also I find that I don’t run it very often because the sound makes my dog bark so I have to only run it when the dog isn’t in the house, which isn’t that often (of course, I could try to get the dog used to it, but I haven’t taken the time to do that) As an alternative to a robot we also recently bought the Shark Auto Detect and we are loving it! It’s cordless and really lightweight. It’s so easy to maneuver picks up tons of hair and has really good rollers that don’t get stuck on hair. I actually was looking forward to vacuuming today, which is crazy. I never thought I would say that!

My home is a mix of hard floors and rugs. Last week, on a whim, I got the Shark PowerDetect 2in1 (vac and mop) from Amazon for £477. I was impressed with the cleaning power of it but had to send it back because I was unable to get it to clean under my sofa or up to the kickboards in my kitchen. I would have kept it if it wasn’t for that. Today I got a Dreame X40 Ultra Complete for £699 as I did my research this time and have found it to be a lot better suited to me and totally covered what was missing from the Shark.

I just bought it, and i will either be returning or exchanging it. I do find the Shark App quite frustrating. I know you have experience with it, but it bugs out and is super slow a lot of times. Also, the live navigation is not always working like it's supposed to while it's cleaning. Only happened once in a span of like a minute. I know my friend is able to see what and where his vacuum is at while he's at work to check its progress. Unfortunately, that's not working for me. The pad plate removes itself way too easily. I couldn't find it at first after it mapped out my place, but it turned out it was completely stuck on the home base. As per the manual, I had the robot vacuum slide back up to reattach itself, but it wouldn't. It was super stuck on the home base. I tried so many times to reattach, like instructed. I ended up having to *gently* remove it from the home base. Even then, if I had to use the mopping function, I would have to manually put the water and cleaning solution in ( I haven't tried it yet). Because the pad plate won't attach, the mopping solution won't put itself into the robot vacuum from the home base whatsoever. Then, if you do reattach the pad plate, you would have to put it back on the home base, and you're back at the same problem where the pad plate is detached. To have to manually put the solution into the vacuum is not the convenience that it advertises it for 😭 I have to say the mapping feature, creating the rooms, labeling rooms, vacuuming, and scheduling vacuum only cleans throughout the week is super nice. I unfortunately can't schedule the vacuum and mop cleans because of the previously explained issues. I also enjoy choosing select rooms to clean at a time. But those problems i listed unfortunately outweigh its benefits. I also wish you had more customization in the app. Like choose and schedule how often to clean certain rooms, etc, like other models. It's not available in this one.

Changes its own water. Dries its pad. And even lifts up the mop pad as it goes across rugs and carpets. 10 out of 10 highly recommend. Shark Power Detect 2 in 1

Shark powerdetect with coupon RMN20 is around $279.00. It does really good with pet hair. But it is constrained by its app. It is also good at blowing hair bunnies out of corners and going over large thresholds. I know Eufys c20 should be on sale for under $400 dollars soon for Black Friday. It has an anti hair wrap metal comb that activates when it self empties into the dock.

If your cat sheds a lot I would highly recommend an auto empty base. I like my shark powerdetect. It does good with our 3 dogs, 2 cats, and 1 kid. But other brands do have some nice features like the tricut brush or Eufys metal comb for hair removal.

Shark powerdetect was great at vacuuming. They make a vacuum only model. The narwal pro also looks promising.

Mopping most likely not. Vacuuming we enjoyed our shark powerdetect(can’t state enough how surprised I was with its hard floor performance) and our current Dyson visnav also does an exceptional job.

My shark powerdetect could get over our large double threshold that was taller than this. 90% of the time it worked.

We’ve been very happy with our Dyson. The only big issue we had was it not liking metal floor registers for the ac/heat. We replaced them with wood ones and it’s been flawless in that aspect since. The amount of hair it removes from the rugs/carpets is extremely good; we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I should also mention that our shark powerdetect robot was also very good at removing dust/dirt from the rugs/carpets but slightly lacking in hair removal. Might be worth looking into as well.

Our shark powerdetect is amazingly good at vacuuming cat litter.

Shark powerdetect. The vacuum only with auto empty can be purchased for under $300 with coupon code RMN20 at Check out. Or the Eufy c20 is on sale for under $400 and that one mops too.

No problem! I have the shark and it does a really good job at vacuuming.

Get the new powerdetect on sharks website. When you add it to your cart it should $350 then apply coupon RMN20 for 20% off. Should be around $280.00 before tax and that will be for their newer model.

I just bought a shark self emptying vacuum/mop robot about a month ago. Haven't had it during heavy shedding, so can't state how it works for that. I run it a few times a week for light maintenance on hard floors. So far I like it better than my old roomba. The roller on the bottom so far has not been getting clogged up with hair, and the self emptying feature is great. In the short amount of time I've had it, i've been really happy it. Hopefully i can say the same in a couple of years.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

I have 3 and the best cleaner is by far the not smart ilife a4. They are inexpensive and run well on regular low pile carpet. Only complaint is that it sees black carpet spots as a drop and goes haywire. My ilife v80max Is finicky, battery sucks, same black carpet issue. My shark self emptying doesn't do corners and edges well due to the tiny single brush it has, the self emptying doesn't work 60% of the time due to cat hair. Just get the cheap ilife, hell, get 2 or 3 for the price. Mines lasted 8 years and counting.

I have a Shark with a base that it self empties into. Mine is scheduled to run three times a week and I empty the base once a week. I’ve got two cats, hardwood, and a lot of dust. You’d probably have to empty the base multiple times a week with two shepherds. Honestly I love my Shark. 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.

I second u/Huntit-Ownit ! Get one that has the auto empty dock. I empty mine every couple of days that way. One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace. If you keep an eye on Woot they have refurbished sharks on sale pretty frequently, last one I got for $120.... Edit: Looks like Woot has one refurbished for $129!

I like my big Bissell Pet hair vacuum. It was like $250? I think I got it from target. We have a BC, a Sheppard mix, and a yorkie mix. So, with the 2 bigs we have a lot of hair lol ALSO.... if you do not have them already look at chom chom on amazon... it is a little hand held thing that gets hair off of furniture in a breeze!! I have one in the living room and the bedroom. It is like a lint roller without the sticky tape. you just run it back and fourth really quick on the surface you want to remove hair and it picks it up like a charm! I use that on my couch and bed daily! We also got a shark robot vacuum with a tank that it self empties into and we run that every day too. I have found that daily maintenance or every other day is the best way to keep the hair down

We have a self emptying Shark vacuum that is programmed to run in the living room and kitchen at night. As far as baby toys go. Most of that stuff lives in the giant playpen they takes up 1/3 of my living room. We have other toys for when she’s crawling and cruising around, but those get picked up when we’re done, so the dogs don’t get them.

I have 3 golden retrievers and 2 cats. I run a shark robot daily (I paid a little over $300, and is self emptying). I have to clean the brush every time it runs. If I don't run it daily, it just clogs up. Still it is less work than keeping up with all that fur. https://preview.redd.it/ddu3lbzejone1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=25f2be0c57e4ef63f85f3c8e507b9397df9d33aa

We 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.

I have a self emptying shark and it has changed my life lol.

I'm a very happy shark robot vac owner. With dogs of that size and that much hair, you definitely want the self-empting kind as others have noted. I have two corgi-sized high shed my Shark does a great jo. What I love most is that they really stand by their warranty and even fully replaced one of my out of warranty models when they released a software update that bricked every one of that model in the entire US. Shark didn't send me a refurbished vacuum cleaner they sent me a brand new one of their latest model. Whatever you model you go with buy a cheap pack of the replacement air filters. I find that they take forever to dry when you wash them, so having extra means the machine is ready for the next cycle. If you haven't used a robot vac before, mine take a little bit of maintenance about once a month where I wipe the machine down, empty the vacuum, replace or wash the filters, etc. I also have very long hair, so I end up having to cut my hair off the brush. With hardwood floors, you'll be amazed at how much dust all brands of robot vacuums suck up.

Can you explain a little more on this? In genuinely curious cause I've had my Shark that auto empties and have had it for a month or two now and it hasn't caused any problems. I've had to clean out the filters already cause they got really dusty but nothing else besides that

Yeah the filter cleaning isn't as nice as not cleaning the filter but I don't mind. It's still quicker than vacuuming my place.

Love our shark with self emptying feature.

We love our shark self emptying robot vacuum! Run it almost everyday.

I have 3 cats, love the shark self empty. It empties 2 or 3 times before its done. They stand by their products, sent me a new unit when the brush failed, came with a 3 yr warranty.

I've tried shark and iRobot. Both self emptying. Shark lasted a few years, my iRobot is needing parts replacement after only 6 months. iRobot also requires you to buy their own waste bags. It doesn't work without them.

I have the Shark self emptying one and I LOVE it. It keeps the floors clean day to day and is surprisingly effective. I named it Clean Latifah.

Yeah, it was a process for us, but we finally got down to a manageable amount of toys to where my 3yo can help us pick up most nights, or at least get everything into the playroom and then we block that room off and run the vacuum as we're taking the kids up to bed. We have a small cabinet in the playroom so we can rotate toys, and I'll let her take one extra thing out at a time, but then she has to clean up before we get anything else out. I keep most of the multi pieces toys in there so it doesn't get too chaotic. With my 14mo walking around dropping crumbs everywhere it's nice to clean at least the downstairs most days.

I'm a SAHM and we just run ours as we're taking the kids up to bed each night. We also have an upstairs one (claimed our warranty for it running loud on our hardwood downstairs and they never asked for the other one back) and that one I run a couple times a week, but I just send it into the kids' rooms individually when they're downstairs playing and then run it for the rest of the upstairs. It doesn't seem to ever wake them from naps either, but we do have light white noise running in both their rooms. ETA: OP, if you're going to get one, 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. I don't know the exact model, but both of ours are Shark and they work great for the price point. (And I think Costco sometimes has deals on them)

Not who you asked, but we have a Shark with a large self emptying bin and that thing is great for the price point. We've had it 2 years so far.

I've been using Roomba's for a while. I have 3 from super dumb to self-emptying... They've been pretty reliable and do a decent job... but are pricier. This year I bought a black friday Shark deal... self emptying... In just a few times of use I find that Shark is behind on the game. This makes me leery to try other manufacturers...

lol saw your post right above this one in the other sub. I’ll copy my comment here too in case: I’m with you and the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one. It was so expensive but it’s been going three years strong. I turn it on while they’re crated and I’m at work and empty it when I get home. 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. To me it was worth every penny

You still have to empty the base but in my experience it allows it to do more than non self emptying. I use mine daily but I also empty the base daily once I get home. I also only use it when they’re up because they would absolutely eat it

I have had a Eufy model for 7 years and a Shark self-emptying for 2 years. Love them both, but the Eufy gets tangled and stuck so I have to prep the area. The Shark has a never-stuck option so once it is stuck and you untangle it, then it remembers and will not get stuck again. Both work well and are reliable. You need to manually turn them off if you will be gone for a long time (not sure why). I empty the Shark twice a month and clean the filter. It is scheduled to vacuum twice weekly.

Second the shark self emptying one. They do very well with all the hair.

We have a self-emptying Shark for our gsd, gsd/husky mix, and 2 cats. If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged. We also do supplement vacuuming hard to reach spots with a stick vac.
