The Shark i Robot Vacuum

The Shark I br151 robot Vacuum vacuum is a excellent mid-range robot. It does an excellent job of cleaning and has neat features.

It is capable of cleaning and employs row-by-row patterns for cleaning floors. It is also good on rugs, and can move over rug tassels.

Features

The Shark i has a number of notable features, including its innovative navigation technology and self-emptying dock. Its IQ navigation system uses the grid system to clean rooms-by-room. This makes sure that no area of your house is missed. It also empties the dustbin into the bagless base after each cleaning.

The i can be controlled by both the SharkClean app and Amazon Alexa, so you can control it using your voice without the need for an additional remote. The vacuum also has a button on the top that allows you to operate the vacuum.

The app lets you create the profile of your vacuum and name it, schedule cleans and check the history of cleaning. You can define virtual boundaries to keep the i from entering areas where it could become stuck or hit things that are fragile. You can also set different power modes, so you can reduce energy consumption on tasks that are difficult.

It also has a pair of grippy wheels to help it over obstacles such as stairs or floor transitions. It is able to recognize and maneuver around obstacles like electrical cords. This is helpful for pet owners with small shedding cats or dogs.

The i comes with three power settings: an energy-saving Eco mode, the default Normal mode and a high-power max setting. You can design custom cleaning schedules, which are great when you reside in a house that requires frequent cleaning.

It can be programmed to return to its dock on a regular basis and empty its trash bin. However, you should be vigilant about its battery life because it tends to overestimate the amount of time left. It can also get confused and start a new cycle if you instruct it to 'Clean Your House', so you should be vigilant about when you begin or stop it.

Design

The Shark i robot is sleekly constructed and has a classy appearance. Its main drive wheels are covered in rubber treads, which gives it excellent maneuverability. It has a small footprint and is able to fit under most furniture. It is able to climb up carpets with high piles and get under couches despite its size.

The robot is fitted with a variety of sensors that include the boundary and cliff sensors that permit it to map your home. It also comes with a vision module which can detect and avoid obstacles. The app lets you control the robot’s settings, schedule cleaning sessions and review its cleaning history. The app is easy to use, but it doesn't allow you to create virtual no-go zones.

While the Shark i robot is a ideal choice for floors with no floor but it has a difficult time picking up large debris like pet hair, and it can get stuck on surfaces that are cluttered. Its dirt bin can fill up making it difficult to clear out after a clean-up. It also doesn't have a self-emptying dock, so you'll have to manually empty its trash bin when it's full.

The battery life of the vacuum is short and often it runs out before it can return to its original location. It's also quite loud and the app doesn't allow you to set particular areas to be cleaned or skip. This is why it should be utilized in conjunction with a different robot vacuum, and not as a stand-alone machine. However, the value of delegating your vacuuming tasks to a robot is undeniable. The iRobot Roomba has superior mapping and navigation abilities and an auto-emptying dock that can empty itself. It's also a bit cheaper than the Shark i robotic vacuum.

Cleaning Performance

The Shark IQ vacuums well, even though it's difficult to get used the robotic sound. It doesn't get lost and then retrace its steps, like older shark 2 in 1 robot vacuum robots (like the ION 85 or the RV871). The iQ does a fantastic job of mapping your home with maps in the app which allows you to label rooms so it knows where to go, making it more efficient than ION 85 in terms of not wasting time navigating the same areas repeatedly.

However, it does struggle with carpets and floors that are not clean. Although it can remove small debris, it can be overwhelmed by pet hair and larger items like rice and cereal. The dirt compartment may get full quickly, and its suction power will diminish as it fills. This robot is not suitable for floors that are not bare or carpets with a lot of pile. It is also prone to get clogged when it comes into contact with furniture that is tangled or tipped, as well as remaining items such as electrical cords and rug tassels.

It's a breeze to get rid of these issues by emptying the bin in its base. It also automatically empty itself into the bin when it is full, which saves you the hassle of emptying the dust bin after every run. The extra-large bin requires to be empty every 30 days, lowering ownership costs over the long haul.

The SharkClean App allows you to define different cleaning options, check the battery life, set up schedules, see your cleaning history, and create virtual boundaries to keep it out of areas where it might be entangled or knock fragile items over. The iQ can be controlled by hand using its remote, which has directions arrows that guide it through your home.

Battery Life

Even in its high-suction "Max" mode the vacuum has excellent battery life. It can run for as long as an hour at that setting, which is more than enough for most cleaning sessions in the majority of rooms. It also comes with an efficient 'Eco' mode, which extends its maximum runtime to more than 160 minutes. This is an excellent feature to have if you frequently change rooms or worry about running out of battery power while using the robot.

Like many of its competitors, this robotic vacuum comes with an impressive set of automation features. The companion app allows you to check the remaining battery life, to send the vacuum to a specific area, pause or restart cleaning, and choose different power modes. It can also be controlled via voice commands, if have an Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa device that works with it. It is equipped with physical boundary markers to ensure that the robot is kept away from certain areas.

This Shark model is good in maneuvering, but it struggles to remove large amounts of debris, particularly if its dirt compartment fills up. It can also get stuck on electrical cords and rug tassels. It also gets stuck between the legs and the legs of chairs.

Overall all, the Shark IQ robot vacuum is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a basic robotic that's easy to use and has decent mapping capabilities. It's not better than the Roborock S7 in most cases. It's more sturdy and more robust, is less prone to maintenance requirements, has lower recurring costs, recharges faster, offers longer battery life, and performs better on floors that are not bare and carpets, and moves through obstacles with ease.
