Features

Shark 2 in 1 is a great choice if you're looking for a robot vacuum that can also mop. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and ease of use make it a must for anyone looking to create an easy and clean home with little effort.

This model comes in the form of a bundle that includes self-emptying bases station that is bagless, or you can get it by itself for $699 or about PS559 or $1054. The vacuum comes with a tiny dust bin, as well as an in-built water tank that holds the cleaning solution. It is very maneuverable and utilizes a system of paths that move from the perimeter to each row in the room. It is capable of navigating obstacles like electrical cords and furniture, and even climbs onto high-pile rug. Its LIDAR sensor allows it to identify its surroundings, and you can label rooms and create no-go zones using the Shark app.

The Sonic mopping technology as well as the precise pathing make the mopping system extremely effective. It may be slower than a more expensive model such as the Roborock S8+/S8, however it's better in removing dirt and grime. The tank of water will need to be filled up and empty regularly and the mopping pads will also require cleaning. This is no different from other mopping machines.

Another disadvantage is that the vacuum has a difficult to recognize carpets, so you'll have to manually set no-go zones or block areas with thick rugs to ensure that it doesn't suck up your carpets. The vacuum's performance in cleaning crevices is not very impressive.

Design

The Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with XL HEPA Self-Empty Dock sleek and stylish cleaner with unique design that has two different dustbins. The first bin is used to collect dust and the second one is for water and cleaning solution that the vacuum can use to mop.

It also supports different cleaning methods, such as Matrix Clean which uses a rotating toothbrush to pick up pet fur and other debris that has accumulated on floors. The app lets you set no-mop and cleaning schedules and customize the power levels for both the suction and the mopping.

In our tests, we found that the robot vacuum was able remove pet hair and most small debris with ease. It was also able to reach corners and other difficult-to-reach areas. However, the vacuum's brushroll had trouble grabbing larger, more difficult to remove debris, and was prone to getting stuck on furniture or other objects.

In our testing we discovered that the mopping function of the robot vacuum was quite effective. It was able to clean away many stubborn stains. We particularly loved the way it moved the pad back and forth in the scrubbing motion.

The vacuum has three options for power settings including an energy-saving Eco Mode and a default Normal Mode, and a max-power mode with high power. Its battery life isn't as long as the other top robot vacuums, though, with 40 minutes of combined vacuuming and mopping which will drain the battery by 50%..

Performance

While there are better robot vacuums on the market, Shark's 2-in-1 robot still is very sturdy and an excellent choice for people who need to vaccuum and clean their floors. Its mops are effective on floors that are not bare, and can remove dried spills and dirt easily. It can even remove some pet hair.

However, it struggles with carpets that have high pile. It struggles to pick fine particles like baking soda, and it is unable to handle larger particles, like sand. Additionally, it could become stuck on rugs or electrical cords. It also has a high LIDAR sensor that makes it difficult for it to pass under low-lying tables and chairs.

Despite these limitations, the Shark 2 in 1 vacuum and mop is an excellent choice for people who have a busy schedule and small homes. Its mobile app is easy to use and smart navigation help it keep up with other robotic vacuums. And its battery life can take on the biggest rooms in your home.

The only areas where the Shark 2 in 1 vacuum and mop fails is its performance on rugs and the lack of an automatic cleaning mode. Take a look at the Roborock S6MaxV if you need a robot to Effortlessly Clean with Shark AV752 Robot Vacuum your rugs and floors. It has an extended battery life, an intuitive app and real-time hazards avoidance.

The most appealing aspect of this vacuum is that it comes in different configurations. If you don't need mopping you can purchase it as a standard smart vacuum that has an auto-emptying base.

Battery life

If you're going to invest in a robot cleaner that can do two tasks, you'll expect it to be able of multitasking. And the Shark AI Ultra delivers on its promises. It is very effective at cleaning pet hair and messes and its mowing capabilities are surprising. The judicious use of water and cleaning solutions lifted minor to moderate stains from my bathroom and kitchen floors, and left them feeling clean and soft to walk on.

The main disadvantage is its battery life. Vacuuming and mopping use plenty of power and consume the Shark's battery quickly. After a 40-minute vacuuming and mopping session, the robot's battery had been diminished by 50 percent. This isn't bad however it's not the best neither. If you're planning on using this cleaner to sweep your whole home, or if you have plenty of furniture or other obstacles that could hinder its cleaning, it's best to plan ahead and keep an extra charger on hand.

The Shark's application comes with plenty of features to help manage its functionality, including scheduling tools and the ability to establish physical boundaries that keep the cleaner out of specific rooms. The app allows you to manage the robot's power mode, see its current location, status, and receive push notifications.

It's easy to comprehend why the Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1 vacuum and Mop with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base is one of our top dual-functioning robot cleaners However, it's worth noting that it's not expensive. In fact, the bundle we looked at here (without a charging station) retails for $699, which is a significant purchase for homeowners.

Conclusions

The shark 2 in one vacuum and mop robot cleaner has some flaws but it's a great choice for those seeking a dual-purpose robotic cleaner. It is extremely maneuverable and its laser mapping system works much better than low-end random-pathing robots. It is also able to navigate around objects like rug tassels and electrical cords without getting stuck. It is small enough to be able to clean under tables and couches.

It's important to know that mopping requires more attention, as you'll need to manually empty the water tank and wash its mop pad after every use. It's not easy, but this is necessary to stop the growth of mold. The app lets you determine when it is time to empty the bin or fill up the water tank. It also features a power-saving 'Eco' mode that only uses a portion of the motor's power.
