"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"

"I even washed them accidentally and still worked perfectly fine afterwards."

"it's a dream/works so well. ... I am shocked (kinda disgusted at times!) at how much it picks up."
"Numatic (the ones with the faces on them) have fantastic suction power"

"made me realize how shitty the Shark was. ... primarily it cleans way better"
"Of these, the worst mopping will be the Q5 and Q8 robots, which just have stationary pads attached to the back."
"Carpet everywhere."

"dustbin clogs of fur where there’s empty spaces on the side due to an inefficient dustbin design"
"One thing I’ll add is that it needs dust emptying much more frequently than other robots because its dust bin is smaller than typical."

"They were heavy as shit and super uncomfortable. ... I struggle to even put my Maxwells back on."
"The headband adjustability is poor. ... The ear cups are not deep enough at all. ... My ears were squished up against the drivers and I couldn’t wear them for more than a couple hours without my ears getting cherry red. ... The headset is somewhat tight on my head and no, I don’t have a big head. ... To try and make them more comfortable I bought third party ear cups. Wicked cushion had the deepest set and even then my ears still touch the drivers a little. ... For $300, I cannot honestly recommend these."
"Weight matters a lot. ... I agree they are soo heavily. ... Makes gaming long season long hard"
Corded shark rocket works for us.
r/Frugal • Anyone found the best vacuum for pet hair for small apartments on a tight budget? ->We have a shark rocket, corded. It's got more power than you would believe. You see everything it gets because clear canister no bags. I would not get a cordless.
r/CostcoCanada • Any reviews on Shark vacuums? ->I don't recommend shark. We bought it, it's alright, but we still use our corded shark for the heavy lifting.
r/AskUK • What cordless vacuum cleaners are actually worth buying, but don’t break the bank? ->Shark Rocket is my go to.
r/housekeeping • Small but good corded vacuums? ->Yup, shark is great. I got a wired one because I can’t stand a dying battery when I need to do chores, but I hear the battery ones are good. Look for sales on them at Canadian tire or London drugs.
r/AskACanadian • Canadians, I need a vacuum recommendation. 😋 ->Corded Shark, I got my second one after 10 years. We have dogs, cats and kids. It does very well, would recommend.
r/CostcoCanada • Any reviews on Shark vacuums? ->Sharks are great. We have a corded, stick vac and a handheld one in our house and they all work well. Great suction, easy to clean and decent battery lives.
r/newzealand • What stick vacuum is the go these days? ->I have a corded Shark. It sucks... but in a good way.
r/AskUK • What is the best hoover brand that you have had/experienced? ->This. My Shark corded Rocket? I think it amazing. I have a house that eats vacuums. I’ve had my Shark for years now.
r/CatAdvice • Can someone recommend me some a good vacuum to buy that can actually handle my 3 cats hair?! ->Yep. I hated my cordless Dyson. I couldn’t even get through the living room because I have cats and used the deep clean setting and went slow to get all the hair. It would die after 15 minutes. I bought a corded Shark Rocket and love it as much as one can love a vacuum. The cord is super long so it’s not an unplug/plug situation.
r/CleaningTips • Vacuuming my house every day has changed my life ! 💝 ->I live my shark! I have the corded stick one. It’s great for a small house.
r/BuyItForLife • These are the most recommended vacuum cleaners on Reddit (r/VacuumCleaners VS others) as of Jan 2025 ->It also picks up more than my old corded Shark (that I absolutely hated, but that’s neither here nor there I suppose) but people say corded is more powerful and I just think it really depends on what machine you’ve got with a battery and what machine you’ve got with a plug 🤷🏻
r/VacuumCleaners • best cordless vacuum that actually has strong suction? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
