Review on 🦈 Advanced Shark IQ RV1001 Robot Vacuum with Home Mapping & Wi-Fi Connectivity, in Sleek Black Design (Auto-Empty Dock Not Included) by Adam Smith

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your time and money like me.

This robot vacuum cleaner dies quickly in different places in the house. When the battery is low, the device rarely finds its charging station. I was very excited about ordering and this but it was a huge disappointment and disappointment. We delivered the charging station according to the instructions from the start and that was it. We've had it for almost 2 weeks now, and I've stumbled across this vacuum cleaner so many times early in the morning (at night) that I've lost count because it just dies in a random hallway or in the middle of a room. I wish I could say I live in a giant house, but I don't, so there shouldn't be a reason he can't find his dock. It took almost 2 hours to set up this device as it would not connect to Wi-Fi and then Bluetooth. . It took several times to uninstall the app, clear the cache, disconnect from wifi, reconnect to wifi, put the phone directly on the device, etc. just to get it working. The house card is a cool feature when it works. During the first 15 minutes of operation, it follows the same line back and forth. I think I should be thankful it's clean in here. Too bad nobody ever comes through the area. The manual says it takes 10+ times to get an accurate map of your home, but it ran more than that so I thought it would work by itself, but I was horribly wrong. It stinks to see the Shark name on them as we have numerous Shark products and they have all lasted a long time and worked flawlessly. However, this was a major downside, especially for the price. We previously had a competing (cheaper) brand that was 6 months old and removed it because we got these. I think it was more efficient as the front brushes spun faster and had 3x more bristles for half the noise. Return that one and go back to the previous cheaper one. Too bad for the shark.

Pros
  • The self-cleaning roller removes pet hair and long hair from the roller during cleaning - no more tangling of hair.
Cons
  • Quality
