The Shark i Robot Vacuum

The shark I robot vacuum is considered to be one of the top mid-priced robot vacuums. It is a very good vacuum cleaner, with some unique features.

It is able to clean floors in a thorough way and employs a row-by-row. It also works well with rugs and be able to maneuver over tassels of rugs.

Features

Shark i is a robot vacuum cleaner with several notable features. This includes its smart navigation system and self-empty dock. Its IQ navigation system makes use of a matrix grid for cleaning room-by-room. This ensures that no corner of your house is missed. It also emptys the dustbin into the baseless bagless after every cleaning.

The i can be controlled by both the SharkClean app and Amazon Alexa, so you can control it using your voice, without the need for an additional remote. The vacuum also has a button at the top to manually operate the vacuum.

The app lets you create a vacuum profile and label it, schedule cleans and check the history of cleaning. You can also create virtual boundaries to block the i from entering areas where it might get stuck in or even knock over objects that are fragile. You can also set different power modes, so you can save energy when working on difficult tasks.

It also comes with a pair of wheels that are grippy to help it get over obstacles like the stairs or floor transitions. It also has the ability to detect and maneuver around obstructions like electrical cords, which is useful for pet owners with small shedding dogs or cats.

The i has three power settings. There is an energy-saving Eco Mode and a Normal Mode by default, and a Maximum Power mode. You can also create customized cleaning schedules for specific rooms or affordable floors, which is ideal if you live in a large home that requires frequent cleanings.

The i can be programmed to return to its dock and empty its trash bin, but you have to be aware of the battery life since it can overestimate how much runtime is left. It can also get confused and restart itself if you instruct it to 'Clean Your House', which is why you need to be careful about when you begin or stop it.

Design

The Shark i robot has a elegant design and a stylish look. The main drive wheels are covered in rubber treads, which gives it exceptional maneuverability. Its footprint is tiny and is able to fit under most furniture. It can climb high-pile carpets and reach under couches despite its size.

The robot is equipped with numerous sensors that help to map your home including boundary and cliff sensors. It also has a module to detect and avoids obstacles. The app lets you alter the settings of the robot and schedule cleaning sessions and see its cleaning history. The app is simple to use, affordable however it does not allow you to create virtual no-go zones.

The Shark i robot can be an excellent choice for those with no floors. However, it is not able to take in large debris such as hair from pets. It also gets stuck on surfaces that are cluttered. The dirt bin can be overflowing which makes it difficult for you to empty it after cleaning. It also doesn't have an automatic emptying dock, so you'll need to empty its dust bin when it is full.

The vacuum's battery is very small and it will run out frequently before it is able to return to its base. It is also a bit noisy and the app doesn't allow you to select certain areas to clean. It's best to use it in conjunction with a different robot vacuum, rather than as a stand-alone machine. However, the benefits of being able to delegate your vacuuming duties to the robot mop vacuum is unquestionable. The iRobot Roomba has superior mapping and navigation abilities and an auto-emptying dock that can empty itself. It's also a bit cheaper than the Shark i robotic vacuum.

Cleaning Performance

The Shark IQ vacuums well, even though it's difficult to make use of to the robotic sound. It isn't confused and doesn't reverse steps like other Shark robots, like the ION85 or the RV871. The iQ also does a great job at mapping your home by creating an app-generated map that lets you name rooms so that it knows which direction to go, making it more efficient than the ION 85 in terms of not wasting time navigating the same areas repeatedly.

However, it struggles with carpets and floors that are not clean. While it is able to pick up small debris, it can be overwhelmed by pet hair and larger items like rice and cereal. Moreover the dirt compartment is quickly filled and can start to lose suction power as it gets full and makes this robot less than ideal for bare floors or high-pile carpets. It is also prone to clog easily when it comes into contact with tangled or tipped furniture as well as remaining items such as electrical cords and rug tassels.

Fortunately, it's easy to get rid of these issues by emptying the bin at its base. It also automatically emptys itself into the bin when it's full, which eliminates the hassle of emptying the bin after each run. The extra-large bin needs to be empty every 30 days, lowering ownership costs over the long haul.

The SharkClean App lets you set up different cleaning modes, check the battery life, set up schedules, view your cleaning history, and even create virtual boundaries which keep it out of areas where it may get stuck or knock fragile objects over. The iQ can also be controlled manually using its remote, which has directions arrows that guide it around your home.

Battery Life

Even in its high-suction "Max" mode the robot vacuum has excellent battery life. It can run for more than an hour on that setting, and it's sufficient for most cleaning tasks in all rooms. It also comes with an energy-efficient "Eco" mode that can extend the maximum runtime of the robot up to 160 minutes. This is a good feature to have if you often switch between multiple rooms or worry about running out of battery power while using the robot.

This robot vacuum also has an array of amazing automation features. Its companion app lets you check its remaining battery life and then move it to a certain area, pause or resume cleaning, and set different power modes. It can also be controlled by voice commands, if you own a Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device that is compatible with it. It comes with physical boundary markers to keep the robot away from certain areas.

Although it's maneuverable however, it isn't the most maneuverable model. Shark model isn't able to soak up bulky debris, especially when the dirt compartment is filled. It's also susceptible to get caught on rug tassels and electrical cords, and it could get stuck between the legs of chairs.

Overall all, the Shark IQ robotic vacuum is a good option for those seeking an affordable robot that has decent mapping capabilities and simple-to-use features. However it's not a superior option than the Roborock S7 for most purposes. The former is more robust and more robust, is less prone to maintenance requirements, incurs lower recurring costs, recharges faster, has longer battery life, performs better on carpets and floors with no carpets, and moves over obstacles more easily.
