Ease of Use
The Shark IQ Robot has a extremely simple interface that's simple to use. There are two buttons for control on the top of the unit which allow you to begin and stop a clean-up session or return it to its dock. However, it is more practical to use the app and voice commands. The app allows you to create a schedule and choose the room you want to clean. You can also choose whether to clean carpet or unfinished floors, and also virtual no-go zones. It also features an indicator of status that shows two blue lights to indicate whether the unit is charged or is at its maximum capacity.
Its suction performance is impressive it can lift and trap pet hair easily. The suction power of the vacuum is strong enough to clean deep crevices and corners. It's also smart enough to recognize the different types of flooring and adjust its power level accordingly. It also prevents becoming stuck on large objects. It also uses an anti-scratch pad to clean tough stains. It also comes with an intelligent brush roll that automatically adjusts its height when moving from one type of flooring to another.
The mopping feature is also very effective. The Sonic mopping system and the thorough pathing cleans the floor up 100 times per minute. A dedicated cleaner tank containing with water and VACMOP cleaning solutions provides the best stain removal capabilities. There's a special Ultra Mop setting in the app that allows for cleaner stain removal in specific areas.
The Shark IQ robot is more expensive than the Xiaomi Mi, but it offers superior maneuverability, navigation and cleaning capabilities, both on bare floors and low pile carpet. It has a bigger dust bin and a longer battery life and physical boundary strips to prevent it from entering certain areas.
Powerful Suction
This robot can clean your floors in one sweep. It is great at removing pet hairs and robotvacuummops other particles however it is not as good on thick carpets. It also does a great job of mapping its areas of coverage and avoiding low obstacles. It's a little more loud than other robot vacuums, but that's to be expected from this kind of device.
It has a long-lasting battery, and can be controlled via the SharkClean App or by voice commands, if you have an intelligent speaker like Alexa or Google Assistant. The app lets you see the remaining battery life of the robot and allows you to set different cleaning options and schedule a time when you want to clean your home. You can also define virtual boundaries to keep it from entering areas where it may be entangled or knock a delicate object over.
The Shark AI Robot is a well-built, well-designed robot mop and vacuum that is easy to put together right out of the box. Its body is a mixture of glossy and matte-finish hard plastic, with wheels and front bumpers made of rubber. Its oblong shape allows it to accommodate its water tank and tall LIDAR mapping sensor. It doesn't require any significant assembly from the box apart from snapping the side brushes into place. This makes it simpler to assemble as opposed to other models that require more effort and components. It weighs nearly 18 pounds.
Smart Navigation
The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 offers a variety of automated features. It comes with an app that allows you to see the status of the mop and vacuum as well as receive push notifications. You can also pause or resume cleaning or control it using voice commands if you are using Amazon Alexa or Google Home. You can also program the robot to return to its dock or alter its power mode.
When you first launch it the app will prompt you to take the robot on a preliminary run, where it will map out your space and draw the floor plan. This allows you to label rooms, set up high-traffic zones and no-go zones and draw virtual boundaries that the robot can not traverse. The app lets you schedule cleaning sessions and check the robot's status or software updates.
While the robot is very smart and does a great job of mapping its surroundings, it can sometimes get stuck on obstacles like furniture or electrical cords. Before you use the vacuum or mop make sure that the floor is clean of large particles.
During my tests, the Shark was capable of cleaning low-pile and bare floors with impressive efficiency. The mopping feature performed well, too. The vacuum and mop combination also runs fairly quietly at 50dB. This is roughly the size of a refrigerator.
If you're looking to add a vacuum and mop feature to a robotic cleaner that already has an outside dustbin, consider the iRobot Roomba 694 (9/10, WIRED Recommends). The iRobot is more expensive than the Shark however it is better built and can maneuver through obstacles better, offers superior performance on carpets that are low and bare, and comes with physical boundaries that you can place in front of areas you do not want it to access.
Long Battery Life
It's true that robot vacuums and mop cleaners that do both are more expensive. The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 that we reviewed, for instance, costs $699 / PS559 / AU$1,054 when you purchase it with the self-emptying bagless charging base. Even without the base, it runs $649 / PS449 / AU$681.
The Shark AI Ultra is an excellent robot mop and vacuum for the majority of people. It is a great tool for getting rid of pet hair off the floor and can sweep the room several times before it needs to charge. It comes with a mopping pads which you can wash between uses.
Its navigation system isn't optimal, especially when you are navigating around furniture or other obstacles. As a result, it may leave a mess in its wake. The robot vacuum and mop perform a fantastic job of cleaning these areas using the Eco mode, which is designed for minimal power consumption.
The battery life was also excellent in our tests, lasting up to 90 minutes. The app allows you to schedule it to clean a room or at a certain time. This is useful when you need to leave the house for a long duration. You can also control the Shark AI Ultra using voice commands with Alexa and Google Assistant devices. If you don't wish to use the app, there are two control buttons on top of the robot.
App Control
The Shark robot vacuum and mop comes with a large, self-emptying base. It can hold dirt and debris for upto 60 days. It is more alert to obstacles than most other robot vacuums, and so it doesn't require any assistance moving it around your home. It also has a large mopping capacity for a robot, capable of cleaning a room and refilling its water tank in less than an hour.
It's also compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, allowing you to manage the device via voice. This makes it easy to schedule a cleaning routine or start a spot-clean using a phone's app, even when you're away from home. It's got advanced features, like CleanEdge Technology, which makes use of air blasts to loosen pet hair and blow it out of corners.
Users have praised IQ 2-in-1's smart mapping and Matrix Clean Technology, which automatically adjusts suction and power according to different flooring types. The mop has a small flap that lets you refill the water tank as well as air dry and wash the mop pads between mopping cycles. The device is sturdy and well-constructed, though it is a little more bulky than other robot vacuum/mop hybrids.
The device is also more expensive than other robotic vacuums and mops. For instance the Roborock S8+/S8, a robot with similar cleaning capabilities and a more user-friendly app with a host of features. The Shark IQ 2-in-1 is more adept in its maneuverability than other robots, but it does not have the S8+/S8's instant hazard avoidance system and a full base station that empty its dust bin, fills its water tank, as well as washes and dry its mops. It does offer the ability to set cleaning and mopping schedules that align with your schedule.
