You've Forgotten Shark Robot Vacuum: 10 Reasons That You No Longer Need It
The Best Shark Robot Vacuum
The IQ XL has a big dust bin which only needs to be emptied about every month. It works quickly and efficiently and rarely becomes stuck, and can map your home to make it easy to schedule.
It might not have the advanced technology of the iRobot j7+ but it is more durable and has lower costs for recurring use.
1. The IQ XL
The IQ XL is one of the few robots that provide the ultimate "set it and forget it" experience due to its intelligent features, including visual mapping and self-emptying. Its utilitarian, all-black design will not get any awards for style, however it is solid and well-constructed. Its features make it a great choice for pet owners as well.
In our tests, the IQ XL cleared an impressive amount of debris on carpets that were not bare and performed well on carpets with low pile. It was adept at maneuvering around furniture and other obstacles, and also clear the edges of rooms. It was prone to push things like chairs legs and bowls of dog food too strongly. It also had difficulty picking up large debris like sand or baking soda, from low-pile flooring.
You can control the IQ XL using the physical Clean and Dock buttons or interact with it through voice commands with Alexa or Google Assistant. The SharkClean App is also easy to use and attractive. After you have establish your account and connect to WiFi you can then name the robot, look at its map (once it's completed several cleaning cycles), create a schedule, and designate rooms.
The IQ XL comes with three power modes which include Eco mode, which is energy-saving, the default Normal mode and Max, which is a high-powered mode. It has two side brush that can help move debris to the main brushroll and near the robot's edges. Additionally, it comes with an Evacuate and Resume feature that lets the robot return to its base to empty its dustbin before finishing a cleaning process, and it can continue where it started.
2. The IQ
Shark's IQ robot performs an excellent job of mapping and creates virtual boundaries so that it can stay clear of obstacles such as pet waste, lamp cords and other obstacles. It can also be controlled using a physical Clean and Dock button on its top, or the SharkClean app. It uses infrared sensor to stay off steps. You can also create an interactive map that allows you to choose rooms to be cleaned. It also comes with a self-emptying bag that can hold over 30 days of dirt.
The IQ is a robot vacuum that operates quickly and efficiently. It is rarely stuck. It has a huge dust bin at its base that it only requires emptying approximately once per month. Its HEPA-certified filter is also easy to Effortlessly Clean with Shark AV752 Robot Vacuum and catches airborne allergens when it vacuums.
The IQ is a little more expensive than the other robotic vacuums we've examined, but it does better mapping and virtual boundary creation to stop the lamp cords and pet waste from being swept away into your carpet. It can also be controlled using a mobile app, allowing you to set a timer and control it using your voice.
The model has a low profile of 11.8 inches by 3 inches, which allows it to be placed under furniture that larger models such as the Eufy 11s or iRobot J7+ can't. It also has an integrated Wi-Fi radio that can connect to your home's wireless router. The app lets you set up a cleaning routine and set up no-go zones and Robotvacuummops.Com monitor the battery level, and many more. The only downside is that you have to manually empty the bin, which can become messy as dust particles fly around.
3. The RV2502AE
The RV2502AE shark robot vacuum parts's first robot cleaner that uses LiDAR navigation, is a top feature that lets it navigate your home more efficiently and avoid obstacles. In the past Shark's robots used V-SLAM--a camera-based system that works well, but isn't as precise as LiDAR.
This is our most expensive runner-up but it provides plenty in return for the cost. It is powerful in its cleaning capabilities as well as a wealth of intelligent features, and a bagless self-emptying base that can hold up to 60 days of dirt.
It is equipped with a long-lasting battery, and it returns automatically to its charging dock after it has completed or when its internal battery runs low. You can control the robot via its intuitive app, using your voice via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, or by pressing the physical Clean and Dock buttons that are on top.
You can select from three power settings: Eco, which is efficient in energy use and uses the smallest amount of suction; Normal, which is the default setting and is good for most situations; and Max, which provides maximum suction, but drains the battery faster. It also allows you to set virtual no-go zones and alter its cleaning schedule based on your needs.
The RV2502AE is not our top pick due to several flaws. It's taller, and will not fit under TV stands or sofas. Also, the V-SLAM navigation can sometimes have trouble getting around cables, and the robot is sometimes stuck in corners or on stairs.
It's a great option for those looking for an all-purpose robot vacuum that can do mopping and vacuuming.
5. The IQ Lite XL
The majority of robot vacuums require frequent cleaning or emptying. But the $599 Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL RV1001AE slashes that frequency to once a month, due to a bagless base that holds 30 days worth of debris and dust, and a self-cleaning brushroll that stops hair from circling around it. It performed quickly and efficiently in our tests, never getting stuck and had a strong suction power. It comes with a Find Robot Button that helps you locate the robot if it is lost. It also lets you schedule via mobile application.
The IQ Lite connects to your home Wi-Fi and you can control it using physical Clean and Dock buttons on the top of the unit, using the free SharkClean application for Android and iOS, or by voice commands using an Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant device. It makes use of IQ NAV navigation technology to navigate through your home and even locate furniture that blocks its route. It requires several cleanings to make a map of your home, and you can view an interactive floor plan using the SharkClean app to label rooms, define no-go zones or choose specific areas to clean.
When the IQ Lite battery runs out it returns to its base and recharges itself. It then resumes where it left. If it's activated (it's disabled by default), this feature is referred to as Evacuate and Resuming. it's especially helpful for homes with pets. The IQ Lite XL robot is the only Shark robot that we've tested with a dedicated sensor to mark no-go zones. Other robots utilize their upward-facing cameras for this, but the sensor on the IQ Lite sits between the Clean and Dock buttons.
