The Shark Robot Vacuum and Mop Self-Emptying XL RV1001AE

This two-in-one robot vacuums as well as sweeps extremely well on carpet and bare floors. It is controlled by the physical Clean and Dock buttons on its top, or through the SharkClean app, or with voice commands from Alexa or Google Assistant.

It also has good obstacle avoidance, a feature that is missing from the more expensive iRobot Roomba i7+. However the dustbin needs frequent emptying, and isn't as clean as other self-emptying models.

The following are some examples of

shark mop robot EZ Robot Self Empty is a robot vacuum that is perfect for carpets and tile floors. It is a powerful vacuum that comes with a HEPA-bagless mop. It also comes with some automated features that eliminate the necessity for manual maintenance. The robot will return to its dock automatically after it is clean, ready to empty, or requires charging. It doesn't come with a remote control, like many other robot vacuums. Instead, you can use the Clean and Dock buttons on the top, or your smartphone, or even voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.

Another excellent feature is the capability to set schedules for this Shark robot mop and vacuum. The app makes it simple to create a cleaning schedule for any day of the week and determine the length of time you want the machine to run. In our tests, the robot successfully was able to follow all the scheduled jobs that we had created and began working at the time we had set it.

This model, as the other Shark's vacuums and mops uses a combination of sonic vibration and a bottle containing a cleaning solution to scrub down your floor. Its mopping pads wiggle around the floor to pick up dirt and debris, which would otherwise be left behind by other robotic mops. In our tests, the mop was able lift moderate to light stains off of bathroom tiles and laminate flooring.

We also love the feature that it doesn't have an empty bin that has to be empty manually after each use. It's a minor thing however it can cut down on the number of times you'll need to empty the bin throughout the lifespan of your robot. This mop and vacuum combination is only a little less expensive than the Shark AI Ultra Robot, which has true obstacle avoidance.

However, this Shark robot has several other quality-of-life features that make it worth buying. It has three different suction power settings: normal, Eco and Max. It also comes with a pair of side brushes to help it get over obstacles like electrical cords.

Design

A good robot vacuum and mop can make your life easier. Instead of carrying a bucket full of soapy water all over your home the robot rolls its pad over all surfaces and leaves behind just a thin layer of wet cleaners--less than a puddle and more than a wiping. This lets the floors dry almost instantly, and it helps you avoid water drips everywhere.

Shark offers an impressive array of robots that mop and vacuum. The users give the AI Ultra, as well as its predecessor, the first AI model, high marks for their strong vacuuming capabilities and ease of maintenance. However, the latest Two-in-One model has issues with control and mapping.

This robot mop uses the power of sonic vibration to clean surfaces. It also comes with a bottle containing floor cleaning solution. It also comes with self-cleaning brushes that eliminate pet hair and long strings, as well as an edge cleaner for more thorough cleaning of the walls and corners. This makes it a great choice for floors that are unfinished or low-pile carpets.

The AI Ultra features Matrix Clean navigation, as well as an HEPA 60-day capacity base that traps allergens as well as dust. Its precision grid cleaning pattern takes multiple passes over dirt and debris, leaving no spots missed for an ultimate whole-home clean. Like all Shark robotic vacuums and mops model is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Another major feature of this model is its advanced sensor technology, which allows it to steer clear of furniture and stairs easily. It also detects and automatically moves away from obstacles to avoid the machine from getting stuck or tangled. It is Wi-Fi-enabled to provide smart connectivity and works with the SharkClean app which allows you to set schedules, select rooms, or even initiate Matrix Clean on demand.

The app is simple to use and provides useful status updates, which is especially important for a Robot Vacuum Mops which is doing two tasks at once. The app provides scheduling and control, as well as tips and tricks to make the most from your machine.

Mapping

The Shark IQ Robot Self-Emptying XL RV1001AE ($599) is among the best robot vacuums that we've evaluated. It works quickly and efficiently and isn't prone to getting stuck, and has a large bin in its base station that only needs to be emptied every month. You can also control it with your phone, or with voice commands. You can even set up cleaning schedules.

The model, like all shark 2 in 1 vacuum and mop robot products, features a 360-degree LIDAR sensor. It creates a detailed home map, so it can move without bumping into obstructions, even in the dark. The app allows you to create custom carpet and no-go zones, and to adjust cleaning schedules at any time.

Shark that makes kitchen appliances and household cleaners under the brand name Ninja has been able to catch up with its rivals. The company offers a broad selection of low-cost robots with numerous features that can be used for a wide range of uses.

The EZ Self Emptying Robot Vacuum is distinguished with a number of characteristics, including a large dirt compartment, which is located on the charging dock. It also comes with a powerful suction that can easily handle bare floors and low- and high-pile carpet. It can be controlled using the physical 'Clean' and Dock buttons at the top, or by using voice commands or the SharkClean App and Alexa. Its battery is good for 70 minutes on 'Max' mode. There are indicators lights that let you know when the battery is running low.

The Shark IQ has some advantages over the EZ Self-Emptying Robot, the most notably its LIDAR mapping system which gives it more precise room scanning, and the ability to register common household objects as obstacles it is able to avoid. It also performs better on floors with no flooring and a more powerful motor, and is more agile. However, the EZ offers more useful features, charges faster, doesn't get stuck on tassels for rug as often and has lower cost-per-use.

Performance

The Shark IQ Robot is a competent option for mopping and vacuuming. It removes a significant amount of dirt from floors that are not cleaned, does a fair job on carpeted areas and is solidly built. It has a bit of plastic-like feel, however it's not as equipped than other robots in its price range in terms of quality-of-life features.

For instance, it has three power modes--the eco-friendly 'Eco' mode as well as the default 'Normal' mode which you can switch between in the companion app only while the appliance is on. It doesn't have a 'Vacuum-Only' mode or a cycle for only mopping. It does come with a side brush that is able to be switched on or off, however. Its vacuuming performance is solid however, it struggles to take in bulky substances like rice, which can cause it to overflow its dirt compartment and clog.

The mopping efficiency, however is exceptional due to its extensive pathing and Sonic mopping system. Cleaning can last up to 90 minutes and the tank is able to hold up to 2 gallons of water as well as mopping solution. The mopping pad is also recyclable.

The IQ is able to maneuver however it could get stuck on low-lying obstacles, such as rug tassels or electrical cords. Its navigation based on sensors utilizes infrared sensors and LiDAR to navigate, but it sometimes misidentifies the location of my cat's condo as the stairs. The SharkClean App and Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa can be used to manage it manually. The top surface is equipped with a set of indicator lights that provide an approximate estimation of the remaining battery's life.

Comparing it to the iRobot Roomba 694, a similar model, this is better at cleaning carpets with high or low pile and more effective on unfinished floors. It also has a larger dirt capacity and recharges in just a third of the time. It is also easier to maintain, better built and has lower recurring costs. Its application is also more user-friendly. The IQ Robot also has a 'Find Robot button that can help you locate it in the event that it takes off during cleaning and doesn't return to its dock in the manner you expected.
