So hard on sharks despite the cheap price tags, especially with sales. Keep in mind the self empty dock is Hepa, unlike most other cheap vacs with self empty docks. Vacuum Wars tested the difference between the Hepa and non-heapa emptying docks and the difference is startling. I think especially this new lidar shark is one of the best bang for the bucks when it's on sale, by far. Shark also has great customer service. My old Shark AI might be dumb as a rock, but it does its job and shark has replaced it once no-questions-asked when it had its roller brush malfunction after getting a cat toy stuck in it. Any other company would be like "you broke it, tough poop". I called asking if they have parts that could fix it and they just were like "no, give address, we'll send you another". It was like 2 years old. New one arrived quick in entirely new retail box. They're great over there. Even if their app is pretty bad and the bot is a little dumb. Lol. Just needs to clean on schedule and clean well, which it does IMO.
I came here to see if Adam had tried out Shark's latest update that does edge clean first. They must definitely be listening haha!! I love the difference the air blower makes!! Love this robot vacuum!
I know this video is 2 yrs old but just FYI I Love mine, I replaced the single side brush with the 3 brushes and it works amazing, for the corners The APP could definetly use an update after the 2 yrs of customer requests. Thanks for the video.
Totally agree. I upgraded to the Lidar self empty and wish I would have waited for this one. The edge cleaning on previous models was a joke. I feel like they should give me my money back but it’s too late. Lidar great, self empty great and edge cleaning now better but not great. If they upgrade the software with the perimeter clean at the end, I may have to get it. I don’t use mine now because I have to clean again anyway.
Just for all the features and innovation I think this is a great robot even for $699 I mean it has everything and even more that others don't. The mop isn't useless like on other robot vacuums that's just drag a towel, in this price range. The only negative is no 3D front obstacle avoidance, it still does have ir sensors but it's not that great with small objects like cables but I feel like that's a good trade off to keep the price down.
How come you haven’t tested out the Eufy L35 and X8 models ? I would love to have a comparison. I haven’t seen any solid reviews on them yet on youtube!
What would be interesting, is once it was done, if you ran it a 2nd time, to see if it got what it moved back to the edges, and finished the job perfectly
That's definitely interesting that the edge blower actually works. I'm still waiting to see the mopping video part of this pupper. Mainly because I've only seen it in a couple of videos but not very detailed on it. You usually have a really well done mop detailed video. I still find the Roomba mopping video part where it slipped on the ketchup then accidentally wiped it up was hilarious
If helpful It's pretty decent from the one I have, gets rid of mud and food stains from the kids and dog pretty easily for me! Tank is much bigger than the old robot I had, mops my whole home now which is a major win!!
I am testing out the Eufy L35, so far it’s doing a great job. Has 2 side brushes and does the perimeter first and zig zag patterns. Mops well too. Was on sale for 230$!
You cannot compare the eufy to this shark, the eufy is a cheap crappy robot while the shark actually has innovative features like the scrubbing mop and edge clean and all problems have been fixed in the latest updates.
@@marsel108 Comments below says the app is crappy ? Still has bad reviews compared to others like Eufy. Eufy is way over priced! But I got a good price on it on Black Friday. Seems to work fine so far for the price.
@@Idkjk971 for the price some of the eufys are good but the shark is just much better with lidar and edge clean and vibrating mop, everything the more expensive robots have and more.
update the app?? it has been trashing for years already for every single robot, are you expecting a miracle? go find a better brand and dont waste time
@@xeon2k8 hello btw your comment is irrelevant because they did have a huge update which added a lot of features and added the extra edge pass in the cleaning algorithm.
@@marsel108 hello your opinion is irrelevant as mentioned their track history is garbage regarding app and firmware, you are looking at 1 update alone
I'd like to see more of how the map in the app looks/works. The one with the shark IQ is frustrating because the maps don't look accurate and they take a while to delete, you get to sit there looking at the loading screen while it deletes the crappy map. This shark AI should make good maps since it uses lidar but you never know, they could have bad software. Also I'd like to see whether this vacuum runs over your feet if you don't move...the old IQ has done it to me a good few times, again the lidar should help it see an obstacle so it doesn't run over feet but who knows if it works well in that. Thanks for the update on the vacuum. I'm probably going to wait until it's on a better sale or until it gets price drop when they come out with a newer model. I was thinking about last years model @$320 on sale but the wife wants the new side blower.
The side blower is worth every penny! I used to always have to vacuum corners and edges on older robots. This one cleans it up pretty neatly! To answer your other questions the map was accurate 1st go round. For avoiding objects the robot I have avoids myself, kids and my pets pretty easily while they run around it. I also noticed that if the dog was lying down and it went around him it will come back later to check if he's moved and if he has it'll clean that spot which is pretty neat!!!
I will say, this is probably one of the more innovative robots for that edge clean idea. Not the biggest fan of Shark, their past robots just were ok (not great, but better than some of the "dumb" bots...that's not saying much 🤣) Switching to Lidar was a good move for them, their vslam bots got lost way too often. I just wish they would improve their software and App experience, so many other companies just blow them out of the water on this.
Yeah I agree, the App has been updated several times for me though in the last few weeks and again over the Black Friday weekend too! Seems they are trying. I'm all about replacing having to vacuum and all about does it actually mop well (which it does!!). Once its setup in my home I havent really used the App that much as it runs on a schedule. Spot mopping and the ultraclean options in the App are usefull but you can also get those with long button pushes on the robot.
Model 2610WA is the unit with LiDAR, vac and mop. I've had it for a month now, app does suck but the unit itself vacs and mops very well for normal cleaning.
It's not the only one with lidar, there's one very similar without the silver or in Amazons case the gold panel on top. The other shark with lidar doesn't have the mop or the side blower, I think it's been about $100 or $200 cheaper for the old lidar vacuum.
I think you got last year's model without the side blower or mop at that price but should be pretty similar otherwise. I was tempted by that lower price.
Wow impressive I might get this instead of a iRobot, but in general iRobot infinite times better. EDIT: ps DONT GET THIS ITS 699😭. Coulda bought an roomba s9 or a j8+ with a i3 evo+

Been waiting for this update video thanks!!
Thanks for the great test. And thanks for no back round music so we can actually hear what the vacuum sounds like. I just subscribed.
I agree. It did a good job with all that you had put down.
Great, honest test. I just bought one of these. Thank you!
I just received mine, and it vacuums and mops so good

cool it cleans in both directions

Can I just but the self empty base for the Shark RV2610WD convert into the RV2610WA?
What if it recognize flipping the blade brushes the opposite way on one side to avoid flicking the flakes to the corners again……..
Impressive edge cleaning and like you said another pass at the end it would be dang near perfect! Come on Shark update your app and I'm interested.

Tbh i wouldn't mind running it twice if I had to clean that deep.
Do you think the CleanEdge feature is worth the extra money over the Shark RV2502 with two side brushes?
It for sure does a better job....if you can get it for the right price then maybe.
Any future videos planned on this Shark?
Yes. May put it up against the roomba j7+ combo
I will say, this is probably one of the more innovative robots for that edge clean idea. Not the biggest fan of Shark, their past robots just were ok (not great, but better than some of the "dumb" bots...that's not saying much 🤣)

Sharks clean well, but their app looks like it's written by 5th graders.
No
Yes the app is straight up trash.
The apps gotten a little better than it used to be but it still sucks
Kind of but It’s useful
Is this particular model a mop and a vacuum on Amazon it says it is? And this is the only model that has LiDAR?
Model 2610WA is the unit with LiDAR, vac and mop. I've had it for a month now, app does suck but the unit itself vacs and mops very well for normal cleaning.
It's not the only one with lidar, there's one very similar without the silver or in Amazons case the gold panel on top. The other shark with lidar doesn't have the mop or the side blower, I think it's been about $100 or $200 cheaper for the old lidar vacuum.
Shark quality is typically subpar. Also I won't go bagless for a robot vacuum, I just find it pretty gross.
What are you talking about?? Your normal vacuum is bagless. Why would you want to spend an extra 200 dollars on bags????
Just picked this up for $320 Black Friday sale via their website. Hopefully it does well with pet hair on hard floor and obstacle avoidance. 🤞
I think you got last year's model without the side blower or mop at that price but should be pretty similar otherwise. I was tempted by that lower price.
it’s $299 right now with the mop part too. on their website
Does it touch the baseboard. Scrap along it or leave small gap?
Leaves a gap
Would you rate this over the roomba a j7?
I will make a video on it
Can this mop travel across a rug to mop the other side of a room?
You would have to tell it there is no carpet there in the app so yes it can.
No one is mentioning the baby ghost face on the walkway?!?
what do you mean?
Don't need this robot vacuum I have iRobot Roomba i1+
I'm going to get another one if
I am older
Wow impressive I might get this instead of a iRobot, but in general iRobot infinite times better. EDIT: ps DONT GET THIS ITS 699😭. Coulda bought an roomba s9 or a j8+ with a i3 evo+
