Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum with NeverStuck Technology, Auto Deep-Clean Carpets & Hardfloors, 30 Day Capacity HEPA Bagless Base, for Pet Hair, WiFi Black, AV2820S

We went through so many robot vacuums trying to find one that worked as good as we needed it to. So many returns. Especially if you're going to spend that much money on one you want it to work. This one stands up to our household! 💪🏻 The mapping feature works really well. It was easy to setup. We have 8 dogs & 2 cats and the house easily gets really dirty fast. Especially going in and outside so much. It picks up all the dirt. I barefoot tested it many times after running it. It gets the dirt in the hard to reach places like corners. It holds a lot of dirt\debris. The reservoir also holds a lot before you have to empty it. Also you can set the vacuum to empty every time it gets done vacuuming or after a set amount of times. The suction is so good I've had it pick up spilled dog food and other equally heavy things. The price is amazing considering how well it works. Oh and it's quiet enough that my cat literally lays on the floor and makes it go around her. She wouldn't care if the thing bumped her! 😂 I will say that when it empties the vacuum into the reservoir, the suction is loud but otherwise it's very quiet. 🤫 You are able to set a schedule in the app as far as when you want it to clean what rooms and what times. It has a standard clean and a matrix clean where it goes over the floors twice with more suction. There is also a spot clean function where you can zero in on the area you want vacuumed for a spill. All around this little thing rocks and it's worth every penny!

This little robot has made such a difference in the cleanliness of our home! We have a dog that sheds and we were losing the battle against the dog hair. This vacuum does a great job! We had an older robot vacuum (different brand) and it just couldn’t do the job. The bin on the charging base that collects the debris as the robot returns to empty itself is a very nice feature. It’s advertised to hold many more days of collected debris than it could actually hold in our house but I’m still pleased that I don’t have to empty it every day. The mapping feature is very cool and very accurate. An added bonus is that it is able to transition from hardwoods to rugs with ease and rarely gets stuck. It also has a sensor on it to prevent it from bumping into the furniture before turning around. My old robot scratched up the wooden legs on many pieces of my furniture. This one comes close to objects without running into them.

I was a fan for 2 months, but Shark has pushed a software update that has hobbled my robot and ruined its functionality. We mostly use Google Home connectivity to operate this robot - or I should say, we did before Shark's "update" broke all Google Home functionality. We can no longer run the vacuum at all with Google Home. And Shark customer support keeps my ticket "escalated" but has no solutions. Telling Google Home to run the vacuum now says, "Actually Meryl Sweep doesn't support that functionality." So, um, yeah, the vacuum can't VACUUM. We were loving this robot as it cleans well, navigates well, and keeps our floors cleaner than ever. But since we can't run it the same way, is now used less and is just frustrating. The Shark app is notoriously not great, which was why we were mostly using Google Home. It's absolutely nuts that they can push a software update this bad - not only breaking Google Home, but mapping reports are now incorrect, and we're getting random errors when nothing is actually wrong. I can no longer recommend Shark products, and I will never buy one again. It's so frustrating.

I have been using this since December of 2024. Did a lot of research online and found that process to be very confusing, and prices get way out of control real fast. Watch the model numbers - it is almost impossible to find out (even from You Tube) exactly what the vacs in each series do as well as which are the most up to date model. More on that later. I plan on updating this post after I've put some miles on it, but so far it is help me keep my yellow labs dog hair picked up off of dark wooden floors. One other note - don't expect it to be perfect. It can't get everything you can get to with a regular vacuum. Also, decide what is most important and stick to it! Some of the things I was looking for in this vac was overall good reviews, HEPA filter, bagless, and two brushes. I was not looking for the mop feature at all !!!!!! One other note - I wanted one with two edge brushes and returned the first one I bought because it didn't have that feature. When I saw that this one did list two brushes, I jumped at it because it had everything else I wanted. The two brushes meant that it came with a replacement brush. I did not return and wished I could have found a reasonably priced one with all of these features. Update - April 2025 I initially gave this vac a 5-star review and agreed with many others that it is a "game changer." After using the vac for a few months now - I'm not so sure. The vac cleans the best on the Matrix clean option, but that is only offered when you choose one room at a time. Since it is a longer process (but does a thorough job) the battery life for one room is terrible. I am always in the situation of the vac not finishing an area, taking 3 or more hours to recharge, and having to get out a stick vacuum to finish the job. Then if it finishes in the middle of the night, it will resume cleaning, and I have to send it back to the dock. Also, the edge brush seems to be wearing out quickly. I wanted this vacuum to help with yellow dog hair n dark wood floors, and while it does make a difference, I still have to get the sections it missed. I have remapped my house three times to maximize the best possible layout. So, I am changing my rating to 3 stars.
