Shark AV753 ION Robot Vacuum, Tri-Brush System, Wifi Connected, 120 Min Runtime, Works with Alexa, Multi Surface Cleaning, Grey

Pros:Cleans wellSimple to clean/replace partsGood for single floor homesCons:Loud/bumps into wallsApp not fantastic but servicableNo grid cleaningFloor needs to be clear (no items laying around)After nearly two years my device finally stopped working. I absolutely loved this machine and was devastated when it stopped working.I used this machine daily, often twice a day, for nearly two years. In that time, I used my standup vacuum maybe a handful of times for big messes that need to be cleaned up immediately. Other than that, I used the robot vacuum. I lived in single story 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with a mix of carpet/tile while the vacuum was in use. Mostly live alone with one cat.I learned quickly that prior to having this robot vacuum, I was not cleaning my floor often enough. Every single time I would run the Shark it would pick up huge clumps of cat hair, dirt, and debris. I often received compliments on how clean my place was. For the first year or so, I had the Shark set to start cleaning while I was at work. After it got stuck a few times and ran out of battery I decided to just run it manually. Manual use is super simple - literally just press the button on the device and it takes off. It would run for about two hours or so and return to the charging base. It is not methodical in the way it cleans - it just bounces from wall to wall like that old screensaver (it’s kind of addictive to watch) - but it does the job.You do need to make sure to pick up any big things on the floor before you run it. It will get caught in curtains, shoe strings, phone charging cables, dirty clothes, etc. and it’s kind of loud. Definitely not anywhere near a standup vacuum, but it does make a whirring noise and bumps a little too loudly against the walls. Living in an apartment, I didn’t run it at night because the thumps might’ve bothered my downstairs neighbors. I didn’t like to have it running while I had company over or when I was trying to nap, but other than that it was fine.Cleaning (the vacuum) is self explanatory I think, comparable to other robot vacuums from what I can tell. I needed to open it up and clean the brush maybe quarterly if necessary. The brushes start to bend after getting used, but I just switched which side they were on to get them to bend the other way - not an issue at all. I actually replaced the brushes and filter only once after about a year. I accidentally threw away the filter and didn’t even realize it was gone for months, the vacuum still worked great.This was easily the cleaning device I used the most and I will be prioritizing getting a replacement asap.

The Shark AV753 ION Robot Vacuum is a game-changer in the battle against dust bunnies, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Here’s why it’s now my new best friend (no, seriously, we hang out while it works):Why It’s AMAZING:✔ Set It and Forget It – You basically hit “start,” walk away, and the robot does all the work. It's like having a cleaning assistant that doesn’t ask for a raise.✔ Suction Power Like a Pro – This little guy has some serious suction! It picks up crumbs, pet hair (if you have dogs like me, you know the struggle), and debris like it’s training for a marathon.✔ Smart Navigation – The AV753 is like the GPS of vacuums. It maps out your space and gets into places you didn’t even know needed cleaning. Watch it dodge furniture like a pro—no more getting stuck under the couch!✔ Quiet Operation – It’s quiet enough to be an undercover cleaning agent. You won’t even know it’s working—until you see all the dirt it’s sucked up.✔ Self-Charging – When it’s done vacuuming, it heads back to its dock to charge itself. It’s like having a robot that knows when to take a break (I could learn a thing or two).✔ Pet Friendly – It actually gets the pet hair. Enough said.Why It’s Also HILARIOUS:You’ll probably find yourself talking to it. It’s like a little vacuum buddy that you never knew you needed.You’ll feel oddly proud when it finishes its work. You didn’t do anything, but you’re like, "Look at this little champ!"In summary, the Shark AV753 ION Robot Vacuum is my new favorite household employee. It works hard, is low maintenance, and doesn’t mind cleaning up after me (or my dog’s fur explosion). If you want a smarter, quieter, and more efficient cleaning experience, this is your robot. Get one, and prepare for your floors to never be the same again!

I've owned a few robo-vacs and I am generally pleased with this one. I'd offer up one of those "I love my Shark Ion", but these never provide much useful information. So, here is my experience, so far1. Set up should be easy, but both the app and the manual feature an earlier iteration of the product. Hitting the website was of little help. On the app, there is a disconnect between what I ordered (AV752) and the available models to pair with. The manual was no help. I had to rely on my technical prowess (not insubstantial, IMHO) to track down the likely settings;2. The instructions for resetting (which I needed to do during setup so I could start fresh) are nonexistent, or at least not apparent in the support section of the website.3. A summary evaluation: The documentation needs updating as it refers to previous versions of the app.And for cleaning? No complaints. The Shark is programmed like your usual robo-vac in it bumps in a semi-random and it's cleaning area is a bit small. It did fine on dust and pet hair.However,The dust bin is small and filled quickly and emptying it spilled some of the contents on my clean floor. Dog hair from my black lab wadded up in the bin intake and had to be cleaned out with my fingers. Yuck. I suppose I could have sprung for an automatically emptying model, but I'm cheap.So, this is good value for what you get if you can put up with inadequate documentation and figure things out yourself. Patience is a virtue and sometimes, it pays off.
