If you're looking for a hybrid robot vacuum and mop, the shark 2 in 1 is a solid option. Its incredibly fast performance and sophisticated navigation make it a must have for anyone who wants to keep their home clean without a lot of effort.
This model comes in an assortment with a bagless self-emptying base station, or you can get it by itself for $699 / about PS559 or about AU$1,054. The vacuum comes with a small dust bin, as well as an water tank to store the cleaning solution. It is very maneuverable and uses a thorough pathing system that starts at the perimeter and then moves in a row-by-row fashion across rooms. It is able to maneuver around obstacles like electrical cords, furniture and even climb on high-pile carpets. The LIDAR sensor lets the robot track its surroundings. You can also label rooms and establish zones that are not allowed to enter using the Shark app.
The mopping system is also very effective, thanks to its precise routing and Sonic mopping technology. It may be slower than a higher-priced model such as the Roborock S8+/S8, but it's better at removing dirt and grime. The water tank will have to be filled and empty regularly and mopping pads will require washing. It's the same from any other mopping robot.
Another issue is that the vacuum has a hard time recognizing carpets, and you'll need to manually establish areas that are not allowed to be used or block off areas with rugs that are thick to avoid it sucking up your carpets. The crevice cleaning capabilities of the vacuum are not the best and it does not do a very good job of cleaning debris from corners.
Design
Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 robot mop and vacuum with XL-HEPA Self-Empty dock is a sleek cleaner with an innovative design that includes two dustbins. The first bin is used to store debris and the second bin is for water and cleaning solution that the vacuum can use to mop. Its sleek, minimalist design and powerful performance make this vacuum a great choice for anyone who wants to take a few manual chores from their cleaning routine.
The vacuum cleaner offers several essential smart home features. You can utilize your smartphone to start cleaning or switch between modes. It also supports a variety of cleaning methods, such as Matrix Clean, which uses a rotating brushroll to pick up pet hair and stuck-on debris from floors that are not covered. The app allows you to set up no-mop schedules or vacuuming schedules and customize power levels for both mopping and suction.
In our tests, the robot vacuum was capable of picking up most small debris and hair of pets with ease. It was also able to get into corners and other hard-to-reach spots. However, the vacuum's brushroll was not able to grab larger, more difficult to remove debris, and it was more prone to be stuck on furniture and other objects.
During our tests, we observed the mopping function of this vacuum very efficient. It was able to get rid of some stubborn stains, and we were impressed by the way the pad moved between two directions in a scrubbing motion.
The vacuum comes with three options for power settings: an energy-saving Eco mode, a default 'Normal Mode' and a max-power mode with high power. The battery life of this vacuum is not as good as other top robotic vacuums. It was exhausted by 50% after just 40 minutes of vacuuming and mopping.
The Performance of the Performance of
While there are superior robot vacuums on the market Shark's 2-in-1 model feels very well-built and is a solid choice for those who have to vacuum and clean their floors. The mops it comes with are efficient on floors that are not bare, and can remove dirt and dried spills with ease. It can even deal with pet hair.
It is unable to deal with the high pile carpet. It is unable to take up fine particles like baking soda, and is unable to handle larger particles, like sand. Additionally, it could become stuck on rugs or electrical cords. It also has a huge LIDAR sensor, which may make it difficult to move under low-lying chairs and tables.
Despite these limitations, the Shark 2 in 1 vacuum and mop is still an excellent choice for those who have a busy schedule and small homes. Its intuitive navigation and user-friendly app allow it to keep up with most other robot vacuums and its battery lifespan is sufficient to take care of even the biggest rooms in your home.
The Shark 2 in 1, vacuum and mop is only lacking in its performance with carpets and an automated cleaning mode. If you're looking for a machine capable of tackling rugs and bare floors, consider the Roborock S6 MaxV. It has a better maximum battery life, a more user-friendly app, and real-time hazard avoidance.
The best thing about this device is that it's available in different configurations. If you don't require mopping you can purchase it as a normal smart vacuum that has an auto-emptying base.
Battery life
If you're planning to invest in a dual-functioning robotic cleaner, you're probably hoping it to have impressive multitasking capabilities. The Shark AI Ultra delivers on its promises. It is very effective in cleaning pet hair and messes, and its mowing capabilities are surprising. Its judicious use of water and cleaning solutions removed minor to moderate stains from my kitchen and bathroom floors, and left them feeling pristinely smooth and clean to walk on.
The main drawback is its battery life. Vacuuming and mopping use lots of power, and consume the Shark's battery quickly. After a 40-minute vacuuming and mopping session, the battery of the robot had been depleted by 50 percent. This isn't a huge problem however it's not the best neither. If you're planning on using this vacuum cleaner to clean your whole home or if you have many furniture pieces and other obstacles that would hinder the robot's cleaning, you'll need to plan ahead and keep an extra charger on hand.
The Shark app is loaded with features that will aid you in managing the robot's capabilities. It includes a scheduling tool and the capability to set physical boundaries to keep the cleaner away from certain areas. The app allows users to change the robot's power modes as well as view its current location and status, receive push notifications, and much more.
It's not difficult to comprehend why the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Vacuum Mop with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base is among our favorite dual-functioning robot cleaners, but it's worth mentioning that it's not inexpensive. The bundle we tested (without charging station) costs $699. This is a substantial purchase for homeowners.
Conclusions
The shark 2 in one vacuum and mop robot cleaner is not without its flaws, but it is still a great choice for those who are looking for a dual-purpose robotic cleaner. It has excellent maneuverability and its laser mapping system functions better than the basic random-pathing robots. It's also able to navigate around objects like rug tassels and electrical cords without getting stuck. It's also small enough to clean under tables and couches.
It's important to know that mopping needs more attention, as you'll have to manually empty out the water tank and wash the mop pad after each use. It can be a pain however, it's necessary to stop the growth of mold. However, the application makes it easy to see when it's time to empty the bin and fill the water tank. It also has a convenient power-saving 'Eco' mode that only consumes half of the motor's power.
As for mop mops The shark 2 in 1 mop and vacuum can be used to remove the stains on hardwood floors though it may take multiple passes to fully remove stubborn spots. It can also climb onto carpet with a low pile and performs well on this kind of surface. However, it has a hard to remove fine particles on carpets and could be stuck on more dense flooring rug.
Overall the shark 2 in 1 vacuum and mop has a better navigation system than the iRobot Roomba 675, and it's more user-friendly. It's also less expensive, comes with a bigger dust bin as well as a longer battery life and recharges faster. It is also able to create carpeted areas to reduce the need to mow floor rugs. This can be useful for pet owners.
