Shark RV2310AE Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum with Bagless, 45-Day Capacity, Self-Cleaning Brushroll for Pet Hair, No Spots Missed on Carpets & Hard Floors, Precision Home Mapping, Wi-Fi, Black

I had 2 robot vacuums. An Ecovacs Deebot N79S, and a Roomba 694. When the Deebot quit on me after 2 years, I decided to upgrade to a model with mapping technology. I decided on this model due to it's relative low cost with automatic emptying and good back and forth vacuuming method. The first thing I noticed is that it's quieter than both of my older vacuums, although this may be due to using the default MEDIUM suction setting. MEDIUM has worked so far so I have not changed it from that. It is also VERY thorough in cleaning. First it cleans along the perimeter of the room then changes to the interior. Once one room is done, it moves to the next. You will have to do an initial mapping of your desired cleaning area first so it knows where all the furniture, walls, and stairs are. After that initial mapping you can set 'no-go' zones. Most setup and interaction with the vacuum is done though a smartphone app, although there are very basic buttons i.e. on/off/return to dock on the vacuum itself. This vacuum uses LiDAR location technology so it does a real good job of vacuuming everywhere but you will have to pick up small objects off the floor because it will not see them. I had to put bumpers near the pet bowls because it was pushing them around and spilling them. You can set up 'no-go' zones in the app but I have not been able to get them to work properly yet. Hopefully Shark will put out a firmware update that will fix this. The auto-emptying dock is a lot quieter than the Roomba S9+ dock that I tried. The S9+ dock was as loud as a shop vac, if you've ever heard one of those. The S9+ also pushed around most of the small carpets I had at the entrances from outside. This vacuum does not. Unfortunately, you will have to clean the HEPA filter on the vacuum itself every 2-3 cleanings. It clogs up quickly and being NON-REPLACEABLE, it's a pain to have to clean.

After 3 other brand robots. I decided to go with the Shark for the easy to empty debris bucket, no vacuum bags required. The robot is easy to program, the settings for "no go zones" work well. The Shark cleans very well; I am surprised how much cat hair and dirt get picked up. The Shark is quieter than the competitor. The mapping feature in the app is user friendly, displaying a good representation of the floor space. I've had this for a month and am pleased with the vacuum performance. This model is a great buy, good performance medium cost. Recommend!

I purchased this after dealing with Roomba issues for almost 2 years, and this Shark vac has made all of the difference. It actually finds it's docking station every single time, even when I've stacked boxes around it. It follows the mapping very well, and if it happens to end up on the carpet, it still performs very well! The app is easy to navigate for last second changes. I have an Australian Shepherd that sheds like crazy, and brings grass into the house. I picks it up without issues, the 45 day capacity is an extra bonus meaning I don't have to empty it almost everyday. I will warn you though, the self cleaning is very loud for a few seconds (If you have sleeping babies in the area, I would schedule the end time outside of naptime.)

I have a one level House it is 990 square feet . With other robot vacuum cleaners it takes 101 minutes to clean the entire house on one charge of the battery. With this Shark RV2310AE Matrix it cleans one and a half rooms and then it has to go back to charge, Now I have it start cleaning at 9:00am by 10:00am. it has completed that one in a half rooms. So the first cleaning is 400 square feet and the time about 45 minutes. The RV2310AE Matrix will take 2 hours to charge then it will resume the cleaning. I do like the feature of called "Evacuate and Resume is on” what this means it will empty the dust bin when it is full and resumes the cleaning . Nice option to have. You not have control on what order of rooms you want the Robot to clean first when it is on the Schedule. Now I had some trouble with this unit trying to connect it to my Wifi, I took me about 3 times going thru the app to get it connect the to my wifi . It seams not to have Obstacle Avoidance, it will bump into many things when it is cleaning. Some other robot vacuum cleans will sense when its is on a carpet and will switch more suction power. This RV2310AE Matrix will maintain one suction level that you set it to. Note:: suction power can be set in the App. This Shark RV2310AE Matrix took only 5 mins to map my house. I put in a few keep out zones and it sorted works. I like the fact you can tell what room you want it to clean, Oh how nice! And The Shark RV2310AE Matrix vacuum empties itself into a bagless, self-emptying base that holds up to 45 days of dirt . This will save you money. I have one low pile carpet I have used the Matrix cleaning on it wow! This is a very nice option. But it will be a 5ft by 5ft section that will be cleaned , and you will have to selected the area you wanted to clean in the app. You can name the rooms in your house in the app. They do give you a strand list to selected form. Let’s recap: The Shark RV2310AE Matrix in my house takes a long time to clean. Let’s review the time , the total time is as follows Strat 9:00am cleans until 10:am , charges for 2 hours. Now by 12:00 noon time it restarts to clean. By 1:00pm it finishes cleaning. This Shark RV2310AE Matrix has a lot of nice features, in the app. The Shark RV2310AE Matrix will pick up pet hair. If I did not know any better I think that the Shark RV2310AE Matrix has a 2 hour lunch break. And so far I had no problem with the App. But for the price it should have Obstacle Avoidance. Also you should be able to tell what room you want to clean first when you put it in the schedule mode. Oh! It would nice to see on the Map where the Shark RV2310AE has cleaned, in real time. Over all it does a good job.

Works good, sometimes it decides it doesn’t want to listen to what I tell it to do on the phone and refuses to start, but that doesn’t happen often. The mapping is good and it is easy to block certain areas through the app. My husband was against it at first but I was able to talk him into getting it since we have two dogs and he can’t imagine life without it. It keeps up with the amount of hair and dirt dogs bring in which allows us to not sweep every day. We have washed the filters a couple times so it still works great and is powerful.
