- Is this better than the Shark IQ? I hope so. This is the first test I do with it.

I purchased the Shark IQ at Costco and then it when on sale (bummer). I like it a lot. Then I purchased the Shark IA robot. I can see a big difference in a lot less bumping into things, and slows down just before it turns direction, as well as mapped better. The AI does map faster and returns to the base station more directly with LiDar. Overall they both seem nice. What was hysterical was the AI bumped into the IQ robot on the charging station three time before it was totally off the station. The IQ woke up and discovered it was not in its home docking station. Turned it self around and re-docked itself. So I guess you can't have just one robot. They need a playmate. Thanks for your videos.
I think it did pretty good. People just think shark has a terrible reputation in robots, so they never give it a second chance. Our second gen shark iq robot we got for 112 dollars at a bargain store and ut came with a self empty. WE LOVE IT. It's so much better than the first gen just because it has a floor tracker
I have had my Shark AI for just over a week and I am in love with it. I work from home so I was concerned about the noise. It's fine until it parks and self empties. Maybe I should reconsider having it in my office. I have it vacuum my house every few days, excluding my office, and then have it do the office after work. Today, I took a 15 minute break, dusted 1/2 the house and set the Shark to vacuum those rooms while I'm back at work. Once a week I grab a dust mop, get under low furniture, around legs, etc. and just shake it out before sending off the Shark. Even with the $200 coupon, it was pricey but I also have an expensive Miele who is now relaxing in the closet.
Got a Shark AI Robot Vac (not self-empty) for $179 at BJs. Actually very happy with it for a vacuum to keep the first floor tidy. So far seems like a great deal at that price for the quality of the cleaning it does.
The shark ai seems pretty good on the new navigation and side sweeper speed
I just purchased it from Amazon with the Black Friday sale. It’s pretty good. I will not pay too much for robot vacuum and take good features also.
I have two shark IQ robot and I have no problem with it I love it
Thanks for the video. 😊
Great video. Mine sounds like something loose is rattling inside at about the same speed as the brush
I have a several years old Shark stick vacuum that is still going strong. We want a robot vac, but seems like they aren't quite there yet at an affordable price point.
idk man maybe you shouldnt have jelly beans on the floor. Like i have reasonable expectations that when things other than dirt/dust/hair are on the floor that maybe, just maybe, the cleaner won't like it depending on how it gets sucked in. I've seen it with roombas before too
Hopefully they release one with a front camera and lidar. The front camera being to have better obstacle avoidance.
Last question. I also like watching on the map where the vacuum is and where it’s been. Wyze has that ability, roomba doesn’t. Does roborock? I was thinking of switching from roomba to roborock.
I don’t know how to edit my previous post about decibel readings but I just measured my hairdryer, and it is 80 db, just for reference.
Thanks for the great review. I just purchased this model from their website but have not yet received it. This will be my first robot vacuum, and I'm hoping it's worth the price. Bit of a vacuum freak here. I own somewhere around 20 of them, from a 1980's Kenmore canister (still working great) to a modern Dyson. The reason I went with the Shark AI is because I have a Shark DUO upright that I use more often than even the two other Dysons that I have. Ninety-day money back guarantee... hopefully it won't disappoint !!
How do you like it? How is it on carpet?

Keep in mind this is my first robot vacuum, so I really can't fairly judge it's performance vs others. But I will say that I'm very happy with my purchase.
After about a week of use, the "max power" setting seemed to increase. Not sure if that was due to an update, or possibly a break in period.
I have hard wood floors with area rugs in each room. In my opinion, it does an excellent job on both. The robot vacuum and docking station have been problem free so far. The app leaves a bit to be desired, but is essential to get the most out of it's capabilities. So far, voice commands with Google assistant has worked without any hiccups as well.
I have it scheduled to vacuum high traffic areas every day; then the remaining mapped 1800 square feet on a room per day schedule. There is a noticeable decrease in dust, especially in hard to reach areas like under the couch etc!
@@Alf.G how does it do with hair?
How has your experience been so far with the AI robot? Does it do multiple floors? If not, could you use different emails for each floor to log into the app?
Are you planning to compare avoidance to others?
wondering how life has been with the Shark AI since this video, if you kept using it? we've had ours up and running about a week, and despite having gotten taller legs for our sofa and chair it won't go much underneath them even though there's over an inch of clearance. Our non-AI, non room mapping VSLAM Shark would go under without complaint.
We have a shark upright Apex Duo and LOVE IT!!! I just wanted to get my wife a robot one to help out, she loves her shark but im not totally sold on this robot model....Roomba I7 looks nice for around the same price
Check out the Roborock, it's better value than the Roomba
If anyone is interested, I did some sound level testing just now on my engineered vinyl flooring. I measured 65db with my iPhone 1 foot away from the Stud on normal suction, and 58db after I walked away 7 feet down the enclosed 3 foot wide hall; 60db when we were both inside the small laundry room, and now sitting in another room, it went down to 39 when it was in the hallway on the other side of the open dining room. Used NIOSH SLM app and iPhone microphone, all I have but that might be a good reference point for someone concerned with noise level. I do not trust manufacturer measurements.
Plus, if I have the stereo or tv on, it really does not bother me. Noise level is about personal tolerance. Airplanes flying over my house when I’m sitting outside bothers me a lot, but sitting in my house watching TV and having my Stud vacuuming for me does not bother me one bit at its normal sound level.
Adam, did you do any sound measurement comparisons between all the available units in the market? If the tool does not measure precisely, just having relative differences to each other would be interesting.
There are pros and cons to every robot vacuum. . . It is just - which of them meet your particular needs.
Does it do multiple floors? If not, could you use different emails for each floors to log into the app?
Yes, you can pick which rooms it does on the app. Sorry, I don’t know how multiple floors work… But their customer service is excellent and I suggest that you call them.
I just bought one of these. The robot when it's trying to go back, it kind of... idk it walks and bumps around the walls until it reaches the home station.. rather than going directly back to the home station when I tell it to clean specific rooms or spot clean.
Is this normal?
How does this compare to the DEEBOT T9 and the Roomba S9 + and Roborock S7 plus?
curious to know how the AI is!
Ultenic T10 Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self Emptying Station, saw this on Amazon uses to be easy to pick a vacumm when Roomba was only choice but now way to many. Only good part is the price drop these will bring around
I have a shark IQ with self empty. I have never had a problem with it. Its great for cat hair. The self empty runs every time it go back to base. I have another brand it doesn't empty when I do spot clean.
I’m brand new to the idea of getting a robo vac. How do they handle cat fur balls on carpet? My fear is they will just try to suck up the furball (ie vomit) and spread the mess everywhere.
I just bought the costco version of this model. It was 399 so it was hard to pass on. I had nothing but problems and headaches with the Roomba I3+. I returned that hunk of refuse. I am so far happier with the shark.
after a few weeks how are you liking the Shark AI and do you have pets to see how it does with pet hair?
Can you tell the robot to go to a specific spot that it missed?
I’m thinking about getting one right now for $300. Just need basic hard floor and carpet cleaning to keep dust down. Good for that price?
Great video, im curious after reviewing and owning so many robovacs, which is your personal favourite? I'm looking for a self emptying one with LIDAR and preferably bagless and ideally can avoid dog mess should it need to... any suggestions what ones to look at? thanks
Plan to do a video very soon about my top 3.
Is there going to be a follow up on this robot?
So…after all your extensive reviewing and testing, what is the BEST home robot vacuum??
Which of the 40 do you find the best
Any idea what the suction power is on this? Shark doesn’t advertise it
Good thing is…I don’t know a single person who actually eats jellybeans.
good thing is I don't know anybody stupid enough to buy a shark robot
Well I guess I am stupid then because I just bought this and love love love it.
@@lindaschremser6437 prolly because you've never owned a good one
Zqxā fssxxxd
@@lindaschremser6437 How do you like it? We have 2700 sq ft carpet, tile and vinyl. One Persian cat and 1 girl. Concerned about pet hair and ability to clean carpets. Any issues with emptying the dirt bin or hair breaking or getting stuck on rollers etc? How is the maintenance? Does it auto detect when the on-board bin is full and go back to the base for a clean or does it keep cleaning but doing a poor job because the bin is full? Does the robot detect when the outside waste bin is full?
Debating on buying this or the Roborock S7 plus.
Just happen to come across your channel. Since you aren't a fan of shark what's your go to robot in this price range that self empties and doesn't make you buy bags for it
I want to see a lot of sharks
I just bought the A1 self empty from Costco but model number UR2500SR yours is a different model number but looks the same and I wonder what the difference in model numbers are? Do you know perhaps?
40 robot vacuums. Dang. You must have the cleanest house ever.
Idk what the differences are between the i1 and the i3
HOW DO YOU EMPTY THE TRASH BIN ON THE DOCK?
I thought and correct me if I'm wrong but as this Shark is a AI he should be smart enough to know that there is some left over dirt on the Floor . I always thought that AI's learn like that or am I'm wrong? I have lot's of Pets Dogs and Cats ( I do Hospice care on them) and look for a good smart Vac with self emptying . Can you please tell me wich one you think would be right for an old Women since you are the Pro please. 😆 Thank you so very much in advance .
Got my robot a few days ago and I really like the way it very accurately mapped my apartment. I'm not loving the sound of that brush. Just sounds harsh. I do have a question that I hope folks can help with with..... So the first time I used it, the robot docked properly and the base sucked up all the dirt from the robot. After the dock was done, the vacuum shut off and no additional noise was made. However, now I noticed that during the same docking procedure with the suction, the robot brush activates and actually stays on for a few seconds even after base ends the vacuuming process. I noticed in this video that this issue does not happen. I'm wondering if I have a defective robot
Hmm...not sure I havent seen that.
Adam - HELP ! I need to make up my mind between Shark RV2502AEW and NEATO D9.
Give me your opinion please
Why did you hate the Shark iQ please respond in the process of buying one thank you.
Just bought one of these and when creating an account on 2 phones with the same email address it says account already taken. So went ahead & changed my email to another one I have & the same thing happens. You may not be able to address this issue. If not I will call customer support. Thank you for your time.

Damn, it's even loud without jellybeans. Good review Adam.
Thanks! Yes I don't know why they didn't try and make it quieter...don't think they even care. They sell so many because of their great commercials.
@@AdamsReviews As the adage goes, "there's a sucker born every minute." People don't do their research.
Remember. He had it on max suction
@@acharletta Whic robot vacuum do you recommend?
@@shanew7361 if you can afford it, I would go for the 'Roborock S7+ Robot Vacuum and Sonic Mop with Auto-Empty Dock, Stores up to 120-Days of Dust (When Using Both Included Dust Bags), Auto Lifting Mop, Ultrasonic Carpet Detection, 2500Pa Suction.' Watch for Black Friday deals.
👍
can you stress test this one?
In my testing, my unit did well with Jelly Beans or some similar sized object. Be careful what you report.
Does a really good job on the carpet. Not sure what worth there is to test it on jelly beans. Might as well throw down some nuts and bolts while you are at it.:) Seriously though, I use these to keep up with dust and hair, which it seems to do very well.
None of these are gonna replace a manual vacuum
I got this for $300 which I think is a bargain for this level of performance. I am pretty sure you could get cheaper with similar level of performance, however, it is technically a brand name vacuum.
Lol prisoner vacuums 😂😂 you must have a very clean house.
Ok so I just ordered one of these for my wife but it is white and black, is there a difference between the all black one and the white and black?
No
The roller hits the dirt bin to self clean. I rather have that then to clean the rollers manually
Just ordered. Fortunately we don't eat jellybeans. This is our first robot. We'll see. 60 day return policy.
Does it respond well to being docked in a somewhat tight area similar to the location in the end of the video? does anyone know? i'd appreciate it a lot.
the Shark instructions say it should have 3' to each side and 5' clear in front of it! LOL maybe if you have some huge bougie ranch house you have that? so far, with ours, it's been totally fine with only a few inches to the sides and about 3' clearance in front of it.
Adam, has anyone tested wool carpets? I ask because they tended to “ball” and many of my vacuums have had problems removing them. How do the robots do?
Not sure...sorry I dont have any wool carpets.
What's ironic is that Shark makes tremendous upright and stick vacuum, but have somehow completely fumbled the ball in the robot category.
You ever see reviews of the dyson robot vacuum?
We just got our Shark AI a few days ago. I mapped the house and named the rooms, then sent the robot to the Kitchen but it went to the Office. I clearly had the floor plan correct and the rooms named correctly. Had my hubby double check and it was right. To be sure, I deleted the map and remapped it and renamed it. This time when I sent it to the Kitchen it went to the Entry. Has anyone else had this issue and is it fixable? Any help would be appreciated.
Honestly the app and navigation aren't up to par from what I can tell. Admittedly I only just did a test run... I'm going to give it a little bit of time and hopefully they improve the app which should hopefully improve the navigation.
@@Werewolf8608 I contacted Shark about this and they said it needed an update, which they did remotely. But I couldn't use the vac for 48 hours. After that, we re mapped it, named the rooms, and it still went to the wrong rooms. So we have renamed the rooms to where the vac actually goes, for example, if I want to vac the kitchen I clidk on the room that's named living room. Yes, I hope they improve the navigation soon. It's frustrating and confusing!
@@cindihawkins2183 I just hope it improves over time through updates... It does an okay job but it's navigation definitely need some work
As I get older, the more these types of vacuums are starting to appeal to me. However I'm waiting for the 'perfect pet model', the one that will come when I say, "Hey, (the name I give it) come clean up this mess in the living room" and it answers back, "Coming Master", cleans it, and is social enough to tell me when it's done and then goes back to empty and recharge.
Oh and my most important question... how does this thing do with pine needles? I live in the country and pine needles are the bane of my existence.
I have the iq and a deebot t8+. The shark can deal with long german shepherd hair and even auto empty it too. The deebot t8+ has problems with the hair so it keeps the mop pad installed and just does a secondary run. I paid around 3-4 hundred a piece got both on sale and am happy, I don't think any of us could really be satisfied with the results of a single robot.
The only way I'm getting a new one anytime soon is if shark or deebot offers a trade up program.
When you said "pet model" I was thinking you meant one good with pet hair. However... your version of a perfect pet model sound pretty good. 🤔 Would it be able to play fetch too?
@@joetidwell3188 I heard a lot of People saying the Iq got lots of Problems with mapping , coming back or even shutting down altogether. How long do you have your Vacuum and did you ever had Problems? I have lots of Animals and want a reliable one.
@@jrenee1040 lol
Master 🤣🤣🤣🤣 okay now THAT is a great comment and a great idea!
If you've got 40 robot vacuums, do you ever set 'em to go all at once and have a robot battle royale? That seems like it could be entertaining.
I have in the past....what would you like to see?
Does it know when the bin on the robot is full and went to empty it?
No it does not.
@@AdamsReviews they really shouldn't call it a AI then. That really suck and it's a lit of Money.
You can get it under 500 Adam . Shark has a promotion on their website
Yep, $450
That makes it equivalent to the friends and family discount that I got, mine was similarly priced, just a little less than the new price. Thanks for letting me know of the change, it makes their original $150 off a second unit not really appealing.
does it finally have a bin sensor
No they cant because of a irobot patent but it will go and empty every 30 minutes or its supposed to.
It's sucks, if you have a lot of Pets that thing is full every 5 min and you can dump it in the trash can yourself and don't need a selfe empty Robo Vac lol
Sorry I didn’t smash the like button, because I didn’t want to smash my phone. I did tap it tho! 😊
Put it through the Pickup Test down in the Testing Room Next!!!!
Is anyone having battery issues with the new ai shark self empty
I havent yet.
Almost bought this thing. Have an older Samsung that is crap. They have not updated the app in ages. Need one that will pick up dry dog food kibble. If this shark will not pick up Jelly Beans then it probably wont pick up dog food.
Thanks for the review.
It probably depends on the size of the cable, and picks up dry cat food just fine.
Holy S**t, that is loud
Lol
It'll be $400 on sale soon.
at some point.
Its on sale lol $449 🤣
Shane - isn’t the 449 sale the non-AI unit?? That is the one I got first and sent back, AI was 599 yesterday, but do ask the sales person when you call whether there are discount coupon codes that you can use, maybe they will find one for you…
@@lindaschremser6437 Nope it's 449 the ai self empty with the current promo code on their website.
still garbage compared to the S9. It's even garbage compared to my older i7 that's been running for a couple of years now. Just think when somebody buys one of these and doesn't know you are supposed to perform maintenance on them and just doesn't ever do it how bad it will clean. That might be an idea for another video: what happens when you don't maintain your robot.
exactly.
I have an i7, which sucks am I'm debating between this and the s9.
I just received this AI shark and what a piece of junk. Spent more time with customer support than anything else I've ever can remember. Couldn't map out the house or return to its base. I'm returning to amazon and trying another same AI. Hopefully it was a lemon.
If you do not drop a lot of jellybeans on the floor, this might be a good robot for you. How many people do that anyway?
No idea but its not just jelly beans. Anything that size that is hard would do the same. Really any hard candy
To me that is a fail. I have high standards. Iq sucked, this looks slightly better but now it doesn't clean the brush? One step forward and one back...
Roomba is still winning aside from the bagless design. Also no real time tracking on either. Sadly
Shark still cornering the market with customers that don't understand cheap doesn't equal value as always.
exactly it's kinda sad...they see these well made commercials and think its going to be amazing...This one seems ok but not for $650
@@AdamsReviews Money no object which one do you recommend??
The only reason I watched this video was to see how to empty the monthly garbage storage container. Oh, well.
Push a button, pull it out. push another button....empty....close and put back. Very simple.
@@AdamsReviews Note to self: there must be a button there somewhere. 🤔
Sorry Sharky, you still (don't) suck! Too many leavings for that price point! Also that noisy jelly bean rattle is a "no way" for me!
Also those brushes still spin too fast! I saw it throw a jelly bean across the floor that it never picked up!
It does seem like these devices are improving with each generation, but I'll wait about 2 more years before making the "investment".
You obviously have not been paid enough by Shark that you hate it so much that you pick on something as trivial as vacuum noise after picking up huge jelly beans. LOL I tell you, your favorite vacuum clean, Roborock makes about the same amount of noise after picking up just small paper clips. That's just how all vacuum cleaners work. After they suck up something hard, that hard thing will keep hitting the brush, the dust bin, whatever it just happens to be stuck at and you will hear the same noise. Roborock obviously pays its reviewers really well. LOL I see so many positive review videos popping up left and right doing nothing but showering praises on it. I guess it pays to be the second largest economy in the world.
What I would like to know is did Shark finally improve its mapping ability? You did a lot of videos before exposing its terrible mapping abilities. Has this Shark finally improved upon that? Thanks
I find your assumptions hilarious. I have never been paid a dime for a review. They do send me units to review but I make my review honest. Also you are very wrong. The shark is literally the only robot vacuum that gets a little jelly bean stuck in it's bar. Thats because sharks are designed poorly. It's even loud without anything in its bar LOL. You should buy a shark! Also did you ever think roborock gets soooo many praises because it's actually a great robot?
@@AdamsReviews You might not get paid per se for reviewing but the fact that you get sent vacuum cleaners for free to review is a form of payment as those vacuum cleaners are not cheap. Even the cheapest Roborock S50 back several years ago can easily run for $600+ with the most recent S7 one that can cost over $1000 so the fact that you receive them for free to review vs. somebody who would have to spend that much money to buy them to review is what I would consider as getting paid for reviewing. And it is obvious that you do consistently review Roborock more positively and it is not always because Roborock is necessarily a better vacuum which I will talk about in the next paragraph. So I and all of your viewers, I am sure, would appreciate if you disclose when you are given vacuum cleaners for free and when you are not in your review videos so we can take into consideration of all information when assessing your review.
I had two Roborocks and I can tell you they are not that great. Yes its cleaning mechanisms are very well designed in that it cleans very efficiently and well but the quality of the accessories and the assembly quality leaves much to be desired and they have non-existent customer service and repair services. The first Roborock that I bought lasted about two years and then I started to get Error 13 where it just refuses to charge beyond a certain percentage. It turns out it's due to a problem with either the transistor or a charger fuse on the motherboard. And since Roborock only has a 1-year warranty and its dealers and HQ is located all the way in China, you are pretty much on your own to find ways to repair it. As far as I know, there are no repair services for Roborock in North America, the closest one is in Europe where it cost 100+ Euro to get it fixed or you kiss your $600+ (which is how much I paid) goodbye. The second Roborock I had had less issues with charging the robot but it constantly runs into errors like error 10 when you just had the tiniest dust stuck somewhere in one of those filters or error 6 or error 21, it just stops vacuuming altogether in the middle of its operation after having started for just 10 minutes. And the noise problem with having picked up hard objects is, like I said, a given and it happens all the time. So this is why I am quite puzzled why you would choose to scrutinize such a trivial issue with Shark vac when it happens with pretty much all vacuum cleaners.
Shark is just terrible. I’ve owned two of their robots and have returned them both. Also where’s the full J7 review?? Waiting on you before I pull the trigger
I just bought mine from amazon, love it.
I have to agree. My shark IQ does okay overall but their app has constant issues which makes me hate it. I’ve been looking at the J7 for my upstairs floor plan and will probably get it later this year
Here is a video I did.
ua-cam.com/video/9eCP6Fw2BTA/v-deo.html
You haven't owned the 2nd gen then. Our first gen couldn't map well but when you put it in the corner if the room and pressed clean it worked well. Our second gen maps greatly and cleans better
I've got the second gen Shark self emptying model. It works good but this model is a good improvement 👍
it looks like cheap 200 dollar robot
Sadly it does.
To much time noise electricity and money. My broom and moist mop dont leave debris behind and its faster lol
Thanks for saving me $429 !
You're being too picky. It's the best robo vacuum out.
not even close.
