Shark - RV1000AE Series

I love my shark ninja! She goes on rugs, laminate, everywhere. She does get stuck under my bed randomly, but it’s delightful to come home and not have dog hair all over everywhere!

I think I’ve had her 2 years, I have replaced the roller once. But I got her at Walmart for around $150. She doesn’t empty herself, I do it. I figured I’d have to empty the deal anyway, so I wasn’t going to pay twice that! Her name is Clean Elizabeth by the way. It was that or Dustin Bieber 🤣 you can have it map your house and just go into specific rooms or do the whole house. It really is worth it!

https://a.co/d/0cg8lN3y I’ve had two of these shark IQ self empty, two corgis. They do pretty good if you run them every day. I’ve had one for close to 5 years and the second for about three. They have been hands down the most reliable robot I’ve had, since 2008 I’ve owned probably 10 different ones.

I’ve had two of these for 5 years. https://a.co/d/08WVyNZY Still going strong. I’ve had at least 10 different robots over the years, these are the only ones to ever last longer than 2 years for me. I upgraded to the “shark never touch” that mopped and vacuumed, total junk it lives in the garage already.

The link in my comment takes you to the exact model on Amazon. Like $128 right now

I have had two of the shark iq ones that auto empty themselves for 5 years. Had to replace the batteries this year but they have been the longest lasting robot I’ve had. They’re only $130 or so refurbished on Amazon.

My house is 126 years old so it's got quite the doozies of thresholds. The Dreame L40 sucks at them, mine doesn't even seem to put much effort into trying to climb them. It isn't the greatest robot but [this Shark](https://a.co/d/5xBFq3j) I bought 3 years ago never had issues with thresholds surprisingly.

Mines an original Roborock Q Revo which isn't sold, it does a solid job. Would i buy Roborock again? Don't know its dependable and does avgood job. I'm not thinking about replacing it. Had a Shark RV1000AE before the Roborock. It was still working great, but I wanted mopping. The problem with review sites is they are an initiates only no long term performance (in general) and reliability. I watch reviews to see what features are available and evaluate which ones I want. Example spinning mop vs dollar mop. Swing out side brush vs no swing out. I look at obstacle avoidance details and ability to handle floor height differnces. My kitchen is 1/2 inch higher than the living room and hallway and same with the bathroom. TZhey both have pretty wide slopped thresholds. The 3 inch wide threshold for the bathroom is much easier to get over and easier on the bot. Last thing after I narrow it down to a couple of models I start looking for info on reliability. My house has hardwood, tile and slate floors with a couple of throw rugs and we only have a small dog and no little children. Carpet cleaning isn't as important as hard floor cleaning. If I had a lot off carpet it'd be different.

Fail. The tail furs are too long and strong and the roller kept snapping. I had the pet model too. Gave it away and have been happier with the Dyson and a handheld

We have the Roomba j7+ We did a fair amount of research before getting it and watched YT videos comparing all the different makes and models and this was highly rated for pet hair. It’s pretty good - but like others have said you do have to spend time cleaning the hair out of the wheels which is an annoying and dirty job and also I find that I don’t run it very often because the sound makes my dog bark so I have to only run it when the dog isn’t in the house, which isn’t that often (of course, I could try to get the dog used to it, but I haven’t taken the time to do that) As an alternative to a robot we also recently bought the Shark Auto Detect and we are loving it! It’s cordless and really lightweight. It’s so easy to maneuver picks up tons of hair and has really good rollers that don’t get stuck on hair. I actually was looking forward to vacuuming today, which is crazy. I never thought I would say that!

I use the shark one that empties itself and has gps (to map your home so you can clean individual rooms). Lifehack, order it directly from their site and then call them when you receive it to return it. They'll take 40% off to keep it. It's what happened to me after I got buyers remorse. Works great for my husky and gsd

Shark has an app where you can control the robot from, but you don’t have to pay for it.

Can you explain a little more on this? In genuinely curious cause I've had my Shark that auto empties and have had it for a month or two now and it hasn't caused any problems. I've had to clean out the filters already cause they got really dusty but nothing else besides that

Yeah the filter cleaning isn't as nice as not cleaning the filter but I don't mind. It's still quicker than vacuuming my place.

We have one of the self-empying shark robo vacs, and it's a big ole piece of garbage. Doesn't clean well, gets stuck on everything. We used the room mapping feature to map off certain areas for it to not go, and that seems to be its favorite place to go. Save your money.
