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!

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 a Shark robot vacuum with the auto-emptying feature. The auto-empty is a HUGE part of making this work smoothly. The Shark is also much smarter than previous brands (iRobot and EcoVacs) that I tried. I've had mine for over a year and absolutely love it. I have used it with both wood floors and carpet, and 1-3 cats (2 of them with long hair that shed A LOT) and it easily keeps up with all of that. It's also good at avoiding most hazards like cords and cat toys. Costco usually has a recent model of the Shark robot on sale, I've sent a few people there for it. Looks like right now they have a vacuum + mop combo for $479, and you should be able to just not use the mop function if you don't want to. The Shark app is pretty decent, it will map your home and allow you to label rooms and track robot status. You can schedule whole-house cleaning through the app, or do manual cleaning for individual rooms. My only complaint is that I can't schedule individual room cleanings, I have a couple spaces that need daily vacuuming vs every few days for the whole house. Edit - it also has voice control available through Alexa and Google, but I haven't tried that as I use AppleHome which doesn't integrate with Shark.

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 )

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

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.
