The Best shark mop robot Robot Vacuum

The IQ XL comes with a large dustbin that is empty only once per month. It works quickly and efficiently and rarely becomes stuck, and can map your home to make it easy to schedule.

It may not have the superior intelligence of the iRobot j7+ but it is more durable and has lower recurring costs.

1. The IQ XL

The IQ XL is one of the few robots to offer an authentic "set it and forget it" experience due to its intelligent features, such as self-emptying and visual mapping. Its minimalist, all-black design isn't going to be a winner in style awards, but it feels solid and well-constructed. Its features make it an excellent option for pet owners, as well.

In our tests, we found that the IQ XL was able to remove a large amount of dirt from floors. It also performed well on low-pile rugs. It was capable of maneuvering around furniture and other obstacles, and also clean the edges of rooms. It was prone to push objects like chair legs and dog food bowls a little too hard, however. It also had trouble picking up large debris like sand and baking soda, off of low-pile flooring.

You can control the IQ XL using the physical Clean and Dock buttons or by communicating with it using voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also use the SharkClean application, which is attractive and simple to use. After you've created your account, you'll need to connect to WiFi and then name the robot. You can also make a schedule and create rooms.

The IQ XL comes with three power modes that include Eco mode, which is energy-saving as well as the default Normal mode and Max, which is a high-powered mode. It comes with two side brushes which help to draw in debris close to the edges of the robot's body and into the direction of its main brushroll. Additionally, it comes with an Evacuate and Resume feature that allows the robot to return to its base to empty its dustbin after completing a cleaning cycle, and then resume where it left off.

2. The IQ

Shark's IQ robot performs an excellent job at mapping and sets virtual boundaries so that it can stay clear of obstacles such as pet waste, lamp cords and other obstacles. It can also be controlled with an actual Clean and Dock button on its top, or the SharkClean app. It uses infrared sensor to stay off stairs. It can also be used to create an interactive map to pick rooms to clean. It also comes with a bagless self-emptying base that can hold over 30 days of dirt.

The IQ is a robot vacuum that works quickly and efficiently. It is rarely stuck. It has a large dustbin at its base that only needs to be emptied every month. The HEPA-certified filter makes it easy to clean and traps airborne allergens when it vacuums.

The IQ is more expensive than some of the other robotic vacuums that we have reviewed, but it does a better job of mapping and creating virtual boundaries to prevent pet waste, lamp cords, and other hazards from getting swept up into your carpet. It can be controlled using an app that is mobile, and lets you set up an agenda and control the vacuum with your voice.

Another advantage of this model is that it has a slim 11.8-inch-by-3-inch size, which means it's able to be placed under furniture the larger models such as the Eufy 11s or iRobot the j7+ could not. It has a WiFi radio built-in and can connect to your router at home. The app lets you create an organizing routine as well as set up no-go zones, check the battery level, and many more. The only downside is that you need to manually empty the bin, which could get messy as dust particles fly all over.

3. The RV2502AE

The RV2502AE is shark ion vacuum's first robot vacuum that uses LiDAR navigation, a premium feature that lets it better navigate around your home and avoid obstacles. Prior to this Shark's robots were equipped with V-SLAM, a camera-based system which also works, but isn't as precise as LiDAR.

This is our most expensive runner-up however, it offers many benefits for the additional 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 has a long-lasting battery, and it returns automatically to its charging dock when completed or when its internal battery is low. You can control it using the intuitive app, by using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant or by pressing the Clean and Dock buttons at the top.

You can select from three different power settings: Eco, which is energy efficient and requires the least amount of suction. Normal, which is the default mode and is suitable for all situations and Max, which gives maximum suction but drains the battery faster. It also has the ability to establish virtual no-go zones as well as modify its cleaning schedule based on your particular needs.

The RV2502AE has a few drawbacks that make it not our best overall choice. For one, it's taller than the rest of our second-placed picks, meaning it's not able to be placed under low sofas or TV stands. Also, the V-SLAM navigation sometimes has trouble navigating around cords and wires, and it can occasionally get stuck in corners or on stairs.

It's still a good choice for people who want a versatile robot vacuum that can perform both vacuuming and mopping.

5. The IQ Lite XL

Most robot vacuums require frequent cleaning or emptying. However, the $599 Shark IQ Robot Self-Empty XL RV1001AE cuts that maintenance down to once a month due to a bagless base that holds 30 days worth of debris and dust, and a self-cleaning brushroll that prevents hair from circling around it.

You can see an interactive map of your floor plan in real-time through the app, and label rooms, designate "no-go zones" or select particular areas to be cleaned.

When the IQ Lite runs out of battery, it automatically returns to its base for robotvacuummops a recharge and resume where it left off. When it's enabled (it's disabled by default), this feature is known as Evacuate and Resuming. it's particularly useful for households with pets. The IQ Lite XL robot is the only Shark robot we've tested with a special sensor for marking zones that are not allowed. Other robots use their upward-facing cameras to do this, but the sensor on the IQ Lite sits between the Dock and Clean buttons.
