The Shark i Robot Vacuum The Shark I robot vacuum is fantastic mid-range robotic. It's a fantastic vacuum cleaner that comes with some interesting features. It is able to clean floors in a thorough way and uses a row-by-row pattern. It also works well on rugs and can move over rug tassels. Features The Shark i has a number of standout features, including its intelligent navigation technology and self-emptying dock. Its IQ navigation system uses an array of grids for cleaning rooms-by-room. This ensures that no corner of your house is missed. It also emptys the trash bin into the baseless bagless after every cleaning. The I can also be controlled with Amazon Alexa and the SharkClean App, so there's no need for an additional remote. The vacuum also has a button on the top to manually control the vacuum. The app lets you create the profile of your vacuum and name it, schedule cleanings and look at the history of your cleaning. You can create virtual boundaries to stop the i from entering areas where it could become stuck or fall over something fragile. You can also select various power modes to save energy when working on tough tasks. It also has a pair of wheels that are grippy to assist it in navigating obstacles such as stairs or floor transitions. It is able to detect and maneuver around obstacles like electrical cords. This is helpful for pet owners who have small shedding cats or dogs. The i has three power settings including an energy-saving Eco Mode, an initial Normal mode, and a high-power max setting. You can create customized cleaning schedules, which are ideal if you live in a large house that requires frequent cleaning. The i is able to be programmed to automatically return to its dock and empty its dustbin, but you have to keep an eye on the battery life because it frequently underestimates the amount of runtime left. It could also get confused and restart when you tell it to clean the entire home, so you have to be aware when you start or end it. Design The Shark i robot has a sleek design and a premium look. The main drive wheels are covered in rubber treads, which gives it exceptional maneuverability. It has a small footprint and is able to fit under most furniture. It is able to climb up carpets with high piles and get under couches despite its size. The robot has several sensors that help to map your home, including cliff and boundary sensors. It also has a module that detects and avoids obstacles. The app lets you control the robot's settings, plan cleaning sessions and review its history of cleaning. Robot Vacuum Mops is easy to use, but it's not able to create virtual no-go zones. The Shark i robot can be a good choice for bare floors. However, it is not able to pick up large debris such as hair of pets. It can also get stuck on messy surfaces. The dirt compartment can also be overflowing which makes it difficult for you to empty after cleaning. The vacuum doesn't also have an automatic emptying dock, so you'll have to manually empty the dust bin once it is full. The battery of the vacuum is small and it will run out frequently before it is able to return to its base. It's also a bit loud and the app doesn't allow you to select certain areas to clean. It's therefore best used together with a robot vacuum, rather than as a stand-alone machine. However, the benefit of being able to delegate your vacuuming duties to the robot is unquestionable. The iRobot Roomba, on the other hand, has superior mapping and navigation capabilities, as well as an auto-emptying dock. It's also a little cheaper than the Shark i robotic vacuum. Cleaning Performance The Shark IQ vacuums efficiently however it isn't easy to get used the robotic noise. It doesn't wander off and then retrace its steps, like older Shark robots (like the ION 85 or the RV871). The iQ does an excellent job of mapping your home. It makes maps within the app, which allows you to label the rooms so that it knows where it's moving. It is a struggle with floors or carpets. It is able to pick up small particles but pet hair as well as heavier objects such as rice and cereals can be overwhelming for it. Moreover the dirt compartment fills up quickly and can start to lose suction power as it fills up which makes it not ideal for use on bare floors or high-pile carpets. It can also clog up when it comes into contact with tangled furniture or furniture with a tipped edge. Fortunately, it's easy to eliminate these issues by emptying the bin from its base. It also automatically empties itself into the bin when it's full. This will save you the hassle of manually emptying the bin after every run. The large dust bin only requires emptying every 30 days. This can lower costs for ownership in the long run. The SharkClean App allows you to set up different cleaning modes as well as check the battery's life, set up schedules, view your cleaning history, and create virtual boundaries which stop it from entering areas where it might get stuck or knock fragile items over. The iQ is also controlled manually using its remote control, which features directional arrows for guiding it around your home. Battery Life This robot vacuum has excellent battery performance, even when it's on its high-suction mode, 'Max. It can run up to an hour in this mode, which is plenty of time for the majority of cleaning sessions. It also has an energy-efficient “Eco” mode that can extend the maximum runtime of the robot up to 160 minutes. This feature is beneficial if you frequently switch between rooms or worry about running out of battery while using the robot. This robot vacuum also has a number of impressive automation features. Its companion app lets you check its remaining battery, send it to a specific room, pause or resume cleaning, and choose different power modes. It can also be controlled by voice commands, if you own an Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device that works with it. It comes with physical boundary markers to ensure that the robot is kept out of certain areas. Although it's maneuverable however, it isn't the most maneuverable model. Shark model struggles to suck up bulky debris, especially when the dirt compartment is filled. It's also prone to get caught on tassels of the rug and electrical cords, and can become stuck between the legs of chairs. Overall overall, the Shark IQ robot vacuum is a solid option for those who are looking for a basic robot that is simple to use and is capable of mapping. It's not as good as the Roborock S7 in most cases. The Roborock S7 is more durable and comes with fewer maintenance requirements. It also comes with lower costs. It recharges faster, has a longer battery life and is more effective on carpets and bare floors.
