"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."
"I run it 1-3 times and day, I’ve had it for 4 hours. ... Still works great"
"the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one ... it’s been going three years strong."

"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."
"I’ve got 3 kids home all day and it does great with tons of food, hair etc."

"The big thing for me is the app and the map. Once it learns the house you can send it to just individual rooms to clean which is a lifesaver with small kids as rarely are all the floors clean at once. ... I send the robot and it’s amazing."
"Sharks clean in a stripe or grid pattern whereas roomba is a seemingly random pattern that drives me nuts. ... also has an option for what they call matrix clean but it’s basically a grid, it’ll do stripes all one way then perpendicular to really get everything."
"I have to say the mapping feature, creating the rooms, labeling rooms... is super nice."

"The pad plate removes itself way too easily. ... it turned out it was completely stuck on the home base. ... it wouldn't. It was super stuck on the home base. ... I tried so many times to reattach, like instructed."
"if I had to use the mopping function, I would have to manually put the water and cleaning solution in ... Because the pad plate won't attach, the mopping solution won't put itself into the robot vacuum from the home base whatsoever. ... To have to manually put the solution into the vacuum is not the convenience that it advertises it for 😭"

"it ’s randomly stopped talking to the app (I’ve troubleshooted it as much as I can short of calling support), so now it’s lost half its functionality."
"Occasionally with an app update your robot will act like it ’s lost and doesn’t know the map and you have to remap the house which is annoying"
"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."

"the long hair is too much and it clogs up the roller and we have to clear it before it can run again."
"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."
