User-Friendliness

The Shark IQ Robot is very user-friendly. It has an intuitive interface. The robot has two control buttons at the top of the unit that you can use to begin or stop a cleaning process or to transfer it back to the dock. However, it's more efficient to use voice commands as well as the app. The app lets you create a schedule and choose a room. You can also decide whether to clean carpet or unfinished floors, and also virtual no-go areas. It also comes with a helpful status indicator with two blue lights that show the unit is at maximum battery capacity or at an unsatisfactory level of charge.

Its performance in vacuuming is impressive capable of lifting and collect pet hair with ease. Its suction power is strong enough to clear deep crevices and corners. It's also able to recognize different kinds of flooring, alter its power levels accordingly, and avoid getting stuck on large objects. It uses an anti-scratch cleaning pad to remove tough stains. It also has an intelligent brush roll which automatically adjusts the height of the brush when switching from one type of flooring to another.

The mopping function is very efficient, too. Its thorough pathing and Sonic mopping systems cleans the floor 100 times per minute, while a dedicated cleaner tank containing water and VACMOP cleaning solution provides the best stain removal capability. There's a unique Ultra Mop setting in the application that offers cleaner stain removal in specific areas.

The shark self emptying robot vacuum IQ robot is more expensive than the Xiaomi Mi, but it has superior navigation, maneuverability and cleaning performance and is able to clean floors that are bare and carpet with a low pile. It has a bigger dust bin as well as a longer battery lifespan and physical boundary lines to prevent it from entering certain areas.

Powerful Suction

This robot can clean your floors in one go. It does a great job of picking up pet hair and other debris however it isn't able to perform very well on dense carpets. It also does an excellent job of defining its areas of coverage and avoiding low obstacles. It's a little more loud than other robot vacuums, however, that's to be expected from this kind of device.

It has an excellent battery life and can be controlled using the SharkClean app, or by voice commands if you have a smart speaker like Alexa or Google Assistant. The app lets you check the robot's battery remaining, select different cleaning modes, and then schedule a time for your home to be cleaned. You can also design virtual boundaries to stop it from entering rooms where it could get stuck or knock over an item that is fragile.

The Shark AI Robot has a solid build and is easy to install straight out of the box. The body is a mixture of hard plastics that have an elegant and glossy finish, and wheels and rubber bumpers at the front. Its oblong form allows it to fit in the tank for water and the tall LIDAR map sensor. It doesn't require any significant assembly from the box except for snapping the side brushes into the right position. It is easier to assemble compared to other models which require more components and work. It weighs nearly 18 pounds.

Smart Navigation

The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 provides an array of automated features. It comes with an app that allows you to see the status of the mop and vacuum and receive push notifications, pause or resume cleaning or control it with voice commands, if are using Amazon Alexa or Google Home. You can also program the robot to return to its dock or alter its power mode.

When you first launch it, the app prompts you to take the robot on a preliminarily run, during which it will map out your space and create a floor plan. Rooms can be labeled, create No-Go Zones and High-Traffic Areas, and set virtual boundaries that the robot cannot cross. The app allows you to schedule cleaning sessions and check the status of your robot as well as software updates.

While the robot is clever and does a fantastic job of navigating its surroundings, it may occasionally get stuck on obstacles such as furniture or electrical cords. Before you use the mop or vacuum ensure that the floor is clear of large particles.

During my testing, during my testing, the Shark cleaned floors that were not clean and carpets with a remarkable effectiveness. The mopping function also worked well. The vacuum and mop combo also runs fairly quietly at 50dB. This is around the size of a refrigerator.

The IRobot Roomba is a great choice for those looking to add a mop and vacuum function to a robotic vacuum cleaner that has an external dust bin (9/10 WIRED recommends). The iRobot is more expensive than the Shark, but it is more robust and can maneuver around obstacles more easily, offers greater performance on carpets that are low and bare, and has physical boundary strips that you can place in front of areas that you don't want it to enter.

Long Battery Life

It's true that robot vacuums and mop cleaners that can perform both are more expensive. The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 that we reviewed, for instance, costs $699 / PS559 / AU$1,054 when you buy it in a bundle with the bagless self-emptying charging base. It's priced at $649/PS449 or AU$681 without the base.

The Shark AI Ultra is a fantastic robot vacuum and mop. It's a great mop and vacuum cleaner for the majority of people. It can sweep a room multiple times before charging. It comes with a mopping pad which you can wash between use.

Its navigation system is not optimal, especially when you are trying to navigate around furniture or other obstacles. It can also leave dirt-covered areas. However the robot vacuum and mop does a great job clearing these areas when it's in 'Eco mode, which is designed to minimize the power consumption.

Its battery life is good, with a range of approximately 90 minutes in our tests. You can use the app to set it up to clean your room by an agreed-upon time which is useful if you need to leave your home for long periods of time. You can also control the Shark AI Ultra using voice commands using Alexa and Google Assistant devices. There are two control buttons on the robot if you do not want to use the app.

App Control

The Shark robot vacuum and mop comes with a large self-emptying base, which can hold 60 days of dirt and debris. It has a better obstacle detection than other robot vacuums, and so it doesn't require any assistance in moving it around the house. It has a remarkable mopping capacity for a robotic vacuum, and can sweep a room in one hour.

It also works with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. This lets you manage it with your voice. This makes it easy to create a cleaning schedule or initiate a spot clean through a smartphone's app even when you're away from home. It's got advanced features, like CleanEdge Technology, which makes use air blasts to loosen pet hair and blow it out of corners.

Users have praised IQ 2-in-1's smart mapping and Matrix Clean Technology, which automatically adjusts suction power and suction to different flooring types. The mop comes with a tiny flap that allows you to refill the water tank and wash and air dry the mop pads in between mopping cycles. The device feels sturdy and well-built, though it is heavier than other robot vacuum/mop hybrids.

The device is also more expensive than other robotic vacuums/mops. For example, the Roborock S8+/S8, which is a robot that offers similar cleaning capabilities, and a more user-friendly app with a host of features. The Shark IQ 2-in-1 is superior in its maneuverability than other robots, but it lacks the S8+/S8's real-time safety system, and also an entire base station that empty its trash bin, refills its water tank, and washes and dry its mop. However, it does offer the ability to set vacuuming and mopping schedules that align with your schedule.
