Battery life

A robot vacuum will help reduce the time you devote to household chores, but the majority of models must be emptied and cleaned often, adding another chore to your list of tasks. This model from Shark, however, is more self-sufficient than many of the competition and features the largest dustbin that only needs to be empty every 30 days. It also features self-cleaning squeegees that stop hair from getting wrapped around it.

In my testing, the Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL RV1001AE was very efficient and never got stuck. Its 123 air-watts of suction was enough to wash all surfaces, including carpets with thick padding and pet hair. It also has a smart design that can detect the areas with the dirtiest floors and increases its suction power according to the dirtiness. Its intelligent features are DirtDetect, FloorDetect, EdgeDetect and NeverStuck technologies.

This vacuum's most notable feature is its self-emptying function. It automatically empties debris into the huge dirt compartment on its charging dock. The bin is bagless, and it releases its contents easily to the trash without having to fumble. This makes the process quick and easy.

You can also create virtual no-go zones through the app. The app is fairly feature-packed however it can be a little confusing to use and is susceptible to freeze.

Despite these issues, the Detect Pro still has a high level of cleaning performance. The Eco mode is more efficient on hard floors than its Max power mode, and it offers about 70 minutes of battery life. It can also be recharged in one hour. This is quite impressive for a robotic vacuum.

The Detect Pro performed well on both carpeted and hard floors, but struggled with fine debris such as sugar and rice cereal. It was a great performer on floors that were not carpeted it was able to maneuver itself well.

The app lets you label rooms and create virtual "no-go" zones. It only took me one go to map my home of about 1,000 square feet. It also gives a good idea of the size of the area the vacuum is able to cover, and how long it took to clean each room. The app also shows you the current status of the charge and cleaning history and can update the vacuum's firmware.

Additionally, it comes with more maneuverable features that can clean up debris more efficiently on low-pile carpet. However, the yeedi's exterior dustbin is heavier and may not be able to maneuver around obstacles such as power cables as easily.

The Shark EZ robotic cleaner is a decent choice for bare floors however, it doesn't offer the advanced automation of its main competitor that is the iRobot Roomba. The i7 and i9 models have bags that do not hold dirt larger capacity, and many automated features, including virtual boundary markers.
