Shark Ion Robot Vacuum: The Evolution Of Shark Ion Robot Vacuum

Shark Ion Robot Vacuum 750 Review

Out-of-the-box assembly is fairly simple and requires you to attach the side brushes into place and then plug it into its dock station. The robot's body is constructed of hard plastic with a matte finish, feels sturdy.

It has a limited set of physical automation capabilities and relies on random paths to navigate. It has a dustbin capacity that isn't particularly impressive and no maximum-fill sensor.

Battery life

The Ion Robot 750 offers impressive battery performance, providing 90 minutes of running time at the maximum suction power. This robot is set to an energy-efficient Eco mode, and you can switch between it and the more powerful Max mode via the app. The app allows you to control many settings, including scheduling the robot to clean at an hour that is convenient for you. The app's History tab provides you with an entire report of every cleaning session also, so you can check how the vacuum performed and whether it was required to return to its dock to recharge.

The ION Robot 750 feels well-made and has a long battery life that should enable it to wash most rooms without needing to return to its dock. However, it can struggle with carpets with low pile and pet hair Its automation features are less advanced than the more expensive Shark AI Robot.

The Ion Robot 750 is not very maneuverable and relies on a random route to cover a large space. This could cause it to miss certain areas or often end up going back over the same spot more than once. It is also prone to getting stuck on rugs and cords. This robot takes around four hours to fully charge, even though it doesn't have a docking station that automatically emptys itself. You can tell when it's charging by observing its two lights, which will switch from flashing white to solid white when fully charged. The app lets you check the battery level, which is displayed in the form of a bar graph. You can also use the app to create cleaning schedules as well as activate extended cleaning.

Performance on Floors with no floor

Shark's ION robot is a budget-friendly choice that is able to run a battery and cleans floors efficiently. It has issues with carpets that are not pliable, pet hair and has a less sophisticated range of automation features when as compared to higher-end Shark models.

The Tri-Brush System is used to get rid of dust, dirt and other debris from any surface, including corners and edges. It works with the SharkClean App and can be controlled through Alexa and Google Assistant.

Unlike the iRobot Roomba, which has a clever path and a smart path, the ION Robot is not as maneuverable and tends to miss certain spots while cleaning other areas several times. Its random pathing may cause it to get stuck in furniture, get into obstacles such as electrical cords or miss some places. It also can't remove as much dirt from carpets.

The ION Robot is compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home. It can be activated by pressing a side button. It also has an infrared sensor that can detect if it's running low of battery and automatically return to its charging station.

You can switch between three power modes via the shark vacuum robot self empty companion app - the energy-efficient 'Eco' mode and the default 'Normal' mode, and the high-suction Max mode. There are physical buttons on top that let you select these modes. This vacuum comes with two side brushes which help to push debris into the path of its main brushroll. It also has a convenient bin that can be empty by pressing the trash button at the top.

Performance on carpets with a low-pile

The Shark ION RV700 Series does well on low-pile flooring however it has a tough time with pet hair or fine debris. It also has limited maneuverability and its basic random pathing navigation system is inefficient at covering the entire area, which can lead to it missing spots and needing to cover them many times. It can also climb over rug tassels it sometimes gets stuck on them and will require a trip around them a few times.

It has a tiny dust bin that has to be empty after every cleaning session. And it doesn't have any sort of sensor to notify you when it's close to filling up, which could be frustrating if you want to keep your robot in standby mode between scheduled cleaning sessions.

If you're looking for a reliable budget-friendly robot that can give you a clean and effective cleaning on unfinished floors and carpets with low pile The Eufy 11S is an alternative worth looking into. It's more convenient to store and more maneuverable than the shark stick vacuum self empty ION, especially when it comes to carpets with higher pile. It doesn't have the "Max" power mode the RV700 is equipped with and its dust bin isn't as big.

The iRobot Roomba E5 is much more durable, has a larger dirt compartment and is also less expensive. It also charges faster than the Shark ION. However it has a lower battery life and isn't able to handle rug as well. It does have a smart app and voice control though, which can make it a bit more useful than the shark Robot mop vacuum for certain users. But if you want an appliance that can do well at vacuuming without the need for WiFi connectivity or a smartphone, then the shark robot vacuum and mop ION is a decent choice.

Performance on high-pile carpet

The Shark ION RV700 Series is capable of picking up small debris from low-pile carpet and also removing pet hair in the smallest dog bed, but struggles with more substantial debris like cereal crumbs and melting chocolate. It also struggles to uproot the dirt that is embedded in a wool rug, such as a rug called a kilim or Persian rug. It is also prone to getting stuck on wires and tassels on heavier rugs.

The robot has poor maneuverability, relying on random pathing to traverse its coverage area instead of mapping it out and following effective cleaning routes. That means that it can miss some areas while vacuuming other areas more than once and it isn't able to detect magnetic boundary strips to stop it from entering rooms you don't want to be in.

However, it's simple to control using the SharkClean companion app, which is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa devices. The app allows you to remotely turn on or off your vacuum, change between power settings, make it return to its dock, plan an appointment for cleaning, and more. You can also set up virtual boundary lines to stop the robot from entering rooms you do not want it to enter.

The app will also inform you whether the robot is fully charged or charging. The dust bin of the robot isn't huge, though it's important to empty it every cleaning session. It's also crucial to regularly change the pre-motor filter and brushroll. You should also be sure to check the extension cord frequently for tangled wires or obstructions if your vacuum is connected to it. The robotic vacuum can also fall down the stairs when placed too close.

The following are some of the most recent reviews:

This model is a basic robot vacuum that feels well-made and has a excellent battery life. It also does a great job of removing pet hair and is able to work on flooring that is not clean. However, it's not the best at navigating itself around obstacles, and it has a basic navigation system that can result in it missing parts of your home. It also has high costs for recurring maintenance and requires demanding maintenance.

The eufy RoboVac 11S is an excellent alternative to this model. It is less expensive, removes pet hair more effectively on all types of surfaces and also has better performance on carpets with a low pile than the Shark ION Robot. It is also simpler to store, and cost of maintenance is less. However, it's not equipped with self-emptying base stations which means you'll need to empty the debris bin when it reaches capacity.

The iRobot Roomba j7 is another alternative. It has many of the same features as the ION Robot, but is more costly. It is more durable and comfortable to hold, has a much larger dustbin, and it can resume the cleaning process from where it left off after returning to its dock to recharge. It's also capable of setting up virtual boundary markers to ensure it is not in certain areas. It also comes with an extensive set of automated features.

As with most robotic vacuums the Shark Ion Robot comes with a companion mobile app that allows you to manage its functions and plan cleaning times. The main screen lets you start the cleaning process from scratch alter the power settings, and choose different modes of operation. The app is compatible with both Android and iOS devices, and integrates with smart home devices that allow certain features via voice commands.
