Shark EZ Robot Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum

The robot vacuum automatically empties into its bagless self-emptying base after each cleaning session. It also comes with a self-cleaning brushroll which prevents hair wrapping. It is also able to move better over obstacles like electrical cords.

The IQ application is easy to use and allows you to set up schedules and start Matrix Clean anywhere. You can also make use of Alexa or Google Assistant to control the robotvac.

The following are some examples of

Shark's EZ Robot Self-Emptying robot vacuum is a convenient and hands-free cleaning solution. It is equipped with an automatic base that empty the dustbin into an external dirt container mounted on the charging station of the robot. This feature makes robot maintenance much easier.

The EZ comes with a number of impressive physical automation options and it is connected to Amazon Alexa via voice control. The SharkClean App makes it easy to create virtual no-go areas and to set up cleaning schedules. It takes around two hours to fully clean and charge a single room.

However, it falls short in a few important areas. For example, it lacks an actual obstacle avoidance system which could prevent the robot from accidentally running into objects like errant shoes or stuffed animals. It relies instead on a laser mounted at the top and an infrared sensor located at the front to spot obstacles. It's adequate, but not as accurate as an advanced bump sensor.

The EZ Robot is also limited by the type of floor. It performs well on hard floors and bare flooring, but it isn't able to remove pet hair that is embedded in low-pile carpeting. In our testing it was also not able to remove sticky spills or fresh dirt. However, it's far more efficient than hand mopping, and comes with lower recurring costs than traditional uprights. It's a better choice over the more expensive Shark AI Ultra Robot, which is similarly priced but comes with an LIDAR sensor for better and more precise room mapping, doesn't get caught in carpet tassels as frequently and is more efficient in charging. It also delivers better overall cleaning performance on both carpets that are low and bare.

Design

The self-emptying shark robot vacuum has a compact design with an external bin and large battery capacity. This makes it easy to operate and maintain as in comparison to other robotic vacuums that often require a complicated set up or extra monitoring. It comes with a simple app that works well with Alexa or Google Assistant. Voice commands let you schedule whole-home cleanings or select rooms to clean. The app also lets you to begin and stop a cleaning session and return the robot to its dock.

The model also comes with self-emptying function that automatically empties the base of debris. It will continue to work until it is full. This makes it easier to maintain the unit and saves you money on replacement bags. The puck filter for neutralizing odor is also simple to remove anllergies. The Auto-Empty feature lets you to set the bin to empty at certain intervals, which can save time and money on garbage removal. It also has a Enhanced Smart Cleaning Solutions: Wi-Fi Connected Shark ION Robot Vacuum navigation system, which is able to steer clear of objects with an appropriate height and also registers common household objects as obstacles to avoid.

The vacuum can also be controlled via a mobile application, which allows you to monitor its condition and schedule cleaning sessions. The app can be used to alter the vacuum's mode of operation, direct it to the desired area, and receive push notification. It's a little more expensive than the Shark AV993 Robot Vacuum: Wi-Fi Enabled And Black ION 3-in-1 robotic but it's more efficient on floors with carpet and bare and is able to move more easily, and has a bigger debris capacity. It also comes with an LIDAR map sensor that allows it to navigate faster and more accurately.

Battery life

A self-emptying robot vacuum utilizes a special base station to automatically remove debris from its dust bin when it is full. This feature helps in cleaning up small spills much easier, and it also frees space in the main bin. However, the system is a little noisy. The motor that pumps debris into the base could sound like a rocket taking off.

The process of setting up this device is easy and requires just a simple download of the Shark app and Wifi connection. In the app, you can identify your robot remotely, start it, look at its cleaning history, and receive error notifications. The app also lets you to create rooms and no-go zones.

Another important feature is the capability to create a specific time for your robot cleaner to run on a daily basis or on specific days. For example, we have ours set to clean our entire house every other day, at 9:15 AM. After it is finished it returns to the base where it recharges prior to the next scheduled cleaning.

The Detect Pro is Shark's newest model, and it comes with several upgrades over older models. For one, it uses grid-like "matrix" cleaning formation for precise coverage. It also has a bigger dustbin that has an HEPA filter and odor neutralizer. Moreover, it offers an optional boundary sensor and cliff, allowing you to control the areas it cleans. It also has a more efficient design that requires less set-up. It's more expensive than competitors like the iRobot Roomba i7+ or the i9+.

Cost

This Shark model is among the company's most advanced and most affordable robot vacuums. It has self-emptying bases that discharges debris into an external dirt compartment. This makes maintenance easier and saves you money on new dirt bags. It also has a HEPA bin that can hold up to 60 days of waste. It is simple to empty into the trash. The IQ Robot Self-Empty XL RV1001AE is extremely effective on bare floors and carpets and is well-suited for pet hair. Its self-emptying function removes the need to empty the bin manually after each cleaning, and it comes with a longer maximum battery life than other models. It can also be controlled with voice commands and connected to your WiFI at home.

The IQ robot is one of the most well-known models made by Shark and with good reason. Its smart mapping and high-performance suction makes it the best choice for whole-home cleaning. You can set the robot to clean your house on schedule within the app and it will then return to its dock once the job is complete.

You can still use this robot despite not connecting to the Wi-Fi in your home. However, you'll be missing the mapping feature and other features that are controlled in the app. It's also important to keep in mind that if you don't connect the robot to the Wi-Fi in your home the robot will only be able to run in the rooms it's been identified as.

The EZ robot has a lower price than the Shark AI Ultra, but it does not have the LIDAR mapping sensors. It's less precise in its navigation and isn't able to climb over power cords or other obstacles. However, it does offer a much larger external dustbin and better cleaning of pet hair on bare floors.
