Shark RV2310AE Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum with Bagless, 45-Day Capacity, Self-Cleaning Brushroll for Pet Hair, No Spots Missed on Carpets & Hard Floors, Precision Home Mapping, Wi-Fi, Black

I've had my vacuum for a month and I'm really enjoying it. I had a Roborock 6S for four years before switching. I have LVT flooring, a thin run, a thick rug and a carpet area that all gets vacuumed. Hair: I have a German shepherd husky mix and I have long hair so it was going to be put to the test concerning hair. The first 2 times I ran it the roller got clogged by hair clumps. But it was really easy to remove, no scissors involved. Then once I was running it daily (on normal mode) it hasn't had a problem since. I am proactive and clear the roller brush once a week. But honestly not much gets stuck running it daily. I do have to empty the tank more often because there is so much hair. It also picks up the random pieces of dog food my dog puts on the floor and doesn't eat. Noise: I love that it empties itself so it isn't something I'm checking every single day. But it is SO loud when it empties. During the week this is no issue because we are at work but it took a bit on the weekends to not get startled when it happened. Otherwise the noise is very manageable. The eco mode we don't even change the volume on the tv. Normal mode we have to turn the volume up a few numbers. I've one used max once just to test it. Navigating around the apartment: It has not thrown itself off my stairs thankfully. Cords are an issue but that is a problem with any robot vacuum. Once you, burry them under the couch, or pin them to the wall it isn't an issue. I've noticed it will go over some things, like my Theragun charger. But at the same time if a door is not fully open it won't run into or push the door open. So it doesn't get all the floor every day but that is why we do it daily. It can do our entire apartment (800 sqft) on one charge. But if you have a bigger area it will clean, charge and then resume cleaning in a bit. Using the app: Take the time to make the rooms on your map so it is more useful. It might take some tweaking. Also if you have an odd shape room (not a rectangle) you can combine two areas into one. You can also add no go zones. I did that around my Peloton bike because there was no good way to tuck the cord in somewhere. You can easily make a schedule for specific days of the week. Currently you cannot schedule by rooms. Also you cannot schedule it to clean multiple time per day, you would have to manually start it the second time. Other notes: I feel like this helps with the dust so much. It also helps me not leave things on the floor, like an amazon box I need to break down. Because if there is stuff on the floor then the vacuum can't clean there. Any robot vacuum would be hard if you have a kid that leaves things everywhere or a dog with a lot of toys. Overall I'm really happy with the switch to Shark.

When we bought our house, the old owners left an older 1001ae model shark behind. I got it to work, but it doesn't map everything and cannot be told where NOT to go using the app - we have to leave an ugly magnetic strip on the floor, like behind my office chair because the older shark (Sharkey Gyllenhaal) likes to jail himself in between the chair legs and bounce around doing endless austin powers maneuvers until he runs out of juice. I was still impressed with that old robot enough to want more. When I decided I needed one for my first floor, I did my research based on reviews and found this newer model, and it is a huge upgrade! I also trust the Shark name, so I was not willing to try other manufacturers. This new shark is seriously upgraded! It has Lidar. It zipped through the house very quickly and formed its maps NOT based on bumbling into objects. It was so quick to map, and its maps are very accurate compared to that old model 1001AE. I made 'no go' areas in the app for the new one so it didn't suicide itself down the stairs, though I am sure it would have stopped at the edge. I loved this new one so much, I ordered another new one for the 2nd floor upstairs, and it is just as amazing. At some point, I thought I might try the old one in my bedroom, but it didn't work out, because no matter what, I could not convince it to go all the way into my strange shaped bathroom. But when I got the Matrix, its lidar capabilities saw all the nooks and crannies. Old Sharkey was back to the basement where he runs just fine so long as he stays away from the magnetic strips, which is perfectly fine for a free robot. If you have a chance to upgrade, though, I highly recommend this robot! The suction is incredible on all my shark robots: I stupidly thought we were getting everything with our regular vacuum because there was not much to empty each time you ran it. If you are a pet owner, you will be disgusted with how much dander, dust and pet hair the shark robot picks up, every time more gook! I could build a new cat weekly with what it is finding. I love coming into the room with the neat rows of carpet stripes left after it cleans, and I feel like I have a maid since they save me soooo much time every day! I will be a shark fan for life if these hold up. Add up all the time weekly that you are spending vacuuming your rugs and hard surfaces and imagine not only crossing that off the list but having a house with less dust and dander floating about. I swear it is helping my pet allergies too.

This is a low quality shark! I already have a 2-in-1 and love it. The suctioning power is fantastic and it can clean perfectly any carpet - mine is a deep pile carpet, so I needed a good vacuum cleaner. As I have two different floors, decided saving buying this version as I thought the quality would be the same…. It was only an illusion! In the first run I noticed that the attachment of the side brush was cheap and weird, making a terrible noise. After the first run the side brush was completely wasted and looked like it was used more than 100 times already. I decided to do a new test on the second day. I programmed it to run while I was at work. When I returned, the robot was without the front wheel (how in the world did it happen?) and stuck somewhere in the house. I gave up and decided to return it! Now I am buying another 2-in-1 even if I am not using the mop :) it is only $70 more - I know $70 is a lot off money, but how much your time worth as I had to wrap it back, take it to UPS and wait to get refunded…. Think twice before buying it. It is rubbish!
