"you can get the Shark Refurbs that auto empty for sub $100 ... can normally find them in the $100~ range. I got mine for $80 ... Woot sells refurbs for $100 +-$20 on the regular. As low as $80, but regularly $100-120. ... Woot's got a shark on sale today for $100"
"I got a shark with lidar and self emptying on sale for $120 ... You can get pretty decent pretty cheap. ... The one I got is a Shark UR2360S. Looks like it's about $250 new checking now, but if you're willing to play the Amazon renewed game (ie. just send it back if it's not like-new) they sell for $99 and the first one I got was perfect/untouched. ... that one seemed like the best value"
"Works better than that $700 roomba"

"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."
"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"gets more up than my manual vacuum does ... If you get one, try vacuuming yourself. Then run it, and see how much it collects. At least with a dog it was shocking how much was still there to be picked up…."

"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."

"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."
"the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one. ... it’s been going three years strong."

"No issues at all with obstacles! It is really good and will come super close without touching. Like within 1/2 an inch. It does bump in things that don't stick up high enough for the lidar to pick up but it hasn't damaged a single thing in my house."
"It navigates under my 8 seat dining table beautifully."
"Mine maps and shows you the actual map of everything in the room including the obstructions like furniture."

"App is trash ... doesn’t track robovac like literally every other one in market."
"Oh and it disconnects itself from Google everyday. So I can't use the Google home to give it commands, which is one of the primary reasons I bought it."
"Shark broke connectivity with Google Home through a software update 2 months ago and they have done nothing to fix it. ... It also affects Alexa and Home Assistant, all of which worked perfectly before the September update. ... Room scheduling was possible through Google Home until Shark broke that connectivity 2 months ago."

"It can't do both, so you have to sweep it anyway before you run the mop. ... And then to use the mop you have to change the cleaning head on the robot, attach a little swiffer pad, and fill a reservoir with cleaning solution. ... Then it does only an ok job. ... And then it doesn't have any way to self clean, so it drags the swiffer pad back to it's base. ... So then you have to go remove the pad, remove the cleaning head, dry it off if you want to go back to a vacuum. ... And the end result is like you did one pass with a swiffer."
"It won't mop until it recognizes that it's in the correct room, EVEN WHEN YOU TELL IT TO DO THE WHOLE HOUSE. Until then, it just wanders around aimlessly."
"the area avoidance for the mop tend do not work. ... The work around has been the create a room for the area I want it to avoid and excluding it from the scheduled clean."
Agentofchaos2712 0.6I have 3 dogs. I just bought my first robot vacuum. I got the shark matrix plus . I honestly didn't expect a lot. Little guy is amazing. Does a great job with edges. Gets all the fur and mops too. I caught a sale got it for $200 . It navigates under my 8 seat dining table beautifully. I don't have carpet have tile and wood and it's great. It does a good job with my rugs too but I do.tuck the tassells under for the one rug with tassels.
alltheasparagus1 0.4I love shark matrix!
Antares135 0.4I use a Shark Matrix. It self empties and has a lot of features for its price point. It uses both bumpers and LiDAR to navigate around and vacuums up GSD and Lab fur really well.
Babylon4All 1.0We have the shark self emptying one, it works great! https://www.sharkninja.com/shark-matrix-self-empty-robot-vacuum/RV2310AE.html
We have two long hair cats and got the Shark Matrix and it’s been great! Three years now and no issues. You’ll need to clean its filters every month or so depending on how much you use it. Our place is around 1800 square feet and takes about 1.5 hours to clean the entire place. The app works well, mapping your place is pretty easy, and it’s detection for new furniture and objects works well. https://www.sharkninja.com/shark-matrix-self-empty-robot-vacuum/RV2310AE.html You can find it cheaper than their site at target, Amazon, etc. You could also get their Vacuum and Mop version for exactly $300 too.
We too have a shark, the AI Matrix Self Emptying one. We have two long hair cats that shed more than my husky growing up did. The amount of hair these cats shed daily is INSANE. The Shark one does a great job a picking it all up. https://www.sharkninja.com/shark-matrix-self-empty-robot-vacuum/RV2310AE.html
Background_Day4865 1.0https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP9JB7FYVb2PB-eqaPL/ Check this one out it’s deeply discounted mops and vacuums with canister Been using ours for one month it’s been best one we have had doesn’t seem to get stuck climbing almost one inch floor height difference and maps house giving you option to send to specific rooms to clean or schedule whole house
badwithnamesmyself 0.2I 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.
baevard 0.2yes. 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!
BakedMasa 0.4Same here. I have a Dyson animal that I use once a week. I run the self emptying shark matrix the days I don’t use the Dyson. I don’t have carpet though and that seems to help. When we had carpet it required more effort on my part.
_Bendemic_ 0.2I 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.
Bender077 0.4Have had the Shark Matrix for a year now. Works fine. App is not the best, but the bot vacuums and mops the floor pretty well.
