Shark 2 in 1 Vacuum and Mop Review

The Shark AV911S: Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum - Pet-Friendly And Alexa Compatible 2 in 1 Vacuum and Mop is a bagless robot with a smart design. It comes with an automatic base that lets it to empty itself. It comes with a dust bin for debris and a second one equipped with a tank of water to mop.

It's capable of vacuuming and mopping floors, although its battery life isn't great. One cleaning session drained it to 5% charge.

Features

The Shark 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop with XL HEPA Self Empty Base is fantastic in removing dirt, dust and dust. It utilizes a matrix system to vacuum the floor and CleanEdge bursts of air help it reach walls and corners. It is also good at cleaning pet hair. I could see this being beneficial for people with dogs or cats that shed a lot.

The mopping system used in this model is more effective than other robotic mops, which simply drag a wet pad across the floor. It utilizes sonic vibrating and a bottle with cleaning solution to remove small and moderate stains from bathroom tile and laminate flooring. It also does a great cleaning job, but it takes longer than an expensive hybrid robot, such as the Roborock S8+/S8.

The robot is expensive however, it's still less than most dual-function cleaners. Unless you choose to skip the bundle which includes the XL Self-Emptying Base, you'll have to pay around $699 / PS559 / roughly AU$1,054. The Shark AI Ultra vacuum/mop is a good option for many but it's not perfect.

It's not the most quiet, but it does a great job at keeping up with the dust. I can't think of anyone who would complain about this. The app lets you set up the vacuum by room, or set a schedule. It also allows you to monitor the vacuum and create no-go zones. However the app is a bit unintuitive, and it doesn't always respond to commands quickly.

Overall I found this machine to be a great addition to my family. It does an excellent job of vacuuming, and the XL HEPA self-emptying base makes it easier to maintain than earlier models. The only downside to the mopping system is that it doesn't perform as well as an expensive hybrid robot. However, it's ideal for those with hard floors and want to make it easier for household cleaning.

Design

This robot is a complete home vacuum and sonic mop in one. The LIDAR sensor that is part of the SharkClean App creates an exact map of your home and lets you navigate it day or night. Matrix Clean Navigation combines vacuuming and sonic mopping for an extra clean that leaves no area unclean. It can be controlled with voice commands or smart speakers compatible for hands-free operation.

The mopping system uses sonic vibrations to clean your floors. It also includes an ultra-fine microfiber pad that can be moved from side to side. The mopping system comes with the floor cleaner in a bottle and you don't have to purchase additional items. This is a major selling point, especially for those who perform much manual cleaning. The app has a few different mopping options, including an ultra-mop option that scrubs your floors 100 times per minute.

The CleanEdge feature blasts dirt from corners and edges. This feature is perfect for pet owners. I've noticed clumps in my hallway and bedroom from my two Golden Retrievers.

While this robot vacuum and mop combination does a fantastic job at getting rid of dust but it's not a substitute for regular deep cleaning. You'll still need to remove all the items from your furniture and immediately clean up spills. You'll also have to empty the trash bin and water tank on a regular basis to prevent mold. But overall, this is a great robot for small homes and apartments.

Battery life

The Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum and mop is one of the top 2-in-1 robovacs available that are available. It is attractive in appearance and offers a range of features that make it a worthy buy. Its primary selling point is its LIDAR mapping system and Sonic mopping system. It also has a powerful vacuum and decent maneuverability, making it simple to navigate through large spaces. It also has a feature that lets you can schedule cleaning sessions through the app. It's also very effective at picking up pet hair.

However, it has some disadvantages, such as the absence of a carpet mode and an unintuitive companion app. Additionally, its battery life isn't very excellent, and it takes some time to recharge. If you intend to use your robot for a large amount of cleaning and mopping this is a significant consideration.

In contrast to other robots, the Shark EZ Robot Vacuum RV912S WiFi Self-Emptying Base AI Ultra doesn't have another dustbin to store the water and cleaning solution that is used for mopping. Its base looks like an automatic vacuum station, with a port at the center that collects debris. The base has a transparent panel that displays when it's time to empty the dustbin. However, this isn’t as simple as other self-emptying models.

The Shark IQ 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop is a flexible smart home device that works well on both bare floors and low-pile carpet. It makes use of the Sonic mopping system that scrubs off stains and can be set to do so automatically. It can be manually activated when you need to remove the stain. In the Eco mode it can last for longer than an hour before being charged.

The Shark IQ is popular among pet owners and has a great reputation among reviewers. Its navigation and obstacle avoidance systems are better than other robots and it can pick pet hair easily. It also has a range of other functions that are useful, including a 'Turbo' mode that boosts suction and edge cleaning.

Cost

Shark vacuum and mop combinations are ideal for households with pets. This vacuum is extremely efficient in removing pet hair, and it can also get into corners. It's simple to use with Alexa or Google Home. It's also cheaper than other mop/robot combinations on the market. However, it has certain drawbacks. It can be difficult to clean its dirt compartment, and it can get stuck on large debris such as rugs or cords. The vacuum is also made up of many parts that require regular maintenance or replacement which means it will incur recurring expenses.

Shark offers a number of different vacuum and mop combinations, and this particular one is specifically designed to work on hard floors and rugs. It can be used with either a dust bin or water tank, and it comes with a side-brush and two microfiber mopping pads. It is also compatible with an electrical cord, so you can connect it and start cleaning at any time you'd like.

The vacuum and mop combo comes with Shark's Matrix Clean navigation, which uses a grid pattern to ensure that every inch of your floor is spotless. It also uses sonic mops that scrub floors up to 100 times per minute. It removes stains, so you don't have go over the same areas again. It also has advanced smart home features, such as voice control and a smartphone app.

While the Shark mop and vacuum combination is excellent overall however, it has some minor drawbacks. It's a bit loud when vacuuming, and it could get caught on thick rugs that can cause the side brush and cause it to stop working. The tank's water level may require filling during long cleaning sessions.

Another great aspect of the Shark vacuum and mop is its ability to empty its dirt bin automatically. This feature is beneficial if you live in an active home and don't want time emptying the bin manually. Additionally the vacuum can be programmed to automatically recharge and locate its dock when it's running low on battery.
