Its performance is excellent on floors that are not bare, and it can take in fine particles like rice with no problem. However, it does a poor job on carpets with low piles and is unable to remove large debris like sand from this type of surface.

Performance

The Shark ION Robot vacuum does not have a lot of physical automation options. The two physical controls -- Clean and Dock -- are a good starting point, but you'll require the Shark App to activate other controls. This screen can be used to schedule cleanings, create no-go zones, or view your cleaning history.

The app gives users access to three power settings for the vacuum: its energy-saving Eco mode as well as its default Normal mode, and its powerful Max mode. The vacuum's battery life is dependent on the power setting you select.

Cost

Robot vacuums are a convenient method of cleaning without needing to lift a hand. They also come with self-emptying bins.

However, the cost of these machines can be expensive, so it is essential to do your research before buying one.

The robot is simple to set-up right out of the package. You only need to snap in its two side brushes and connect it to your computer. It takes about four hours to charge, but there are two lights that show the battery's status One light flashes white when charging, while the other will turn off to signal that the battery is fully charged.

It's a great option for floors with no flooring, however it may struggle with pet hair and food waste. The dust compartment can quickly fill up and the robotic vacuum struggles to remove these debris, making it a poor choice for large households with a lot of pets or families who frequently host parties.

Shark's NeverStuck technology means the vacuum won't become stuck and needs less maintenance, and its rubber treads allow it to move over obstacles. The wheels resemble mini versions of mountain bike tires, and help the robot move over larger flooring or rugs. The app that comes with the robot allows you to set virtual boundaries to be sure that it doesn't cross. This decreases the risk of the robot getting tripped over items you don't wish it to.

However, you'll be missing out on mapping and extra features which are only accessible via the app. The unit will lose its map if removed during cleaning or when switching between maps. In the same way, the Roborock Q5 is better built, more efficient in handling pet hair, and easier to maintain than the Shark AI Robot.
