Handsfree bottom9/5/2023 ![]() ![]() There's a short tune and then a robot voices the type of error. It will also announce when there's an issue and what it is. I've gotten an ear for it, so even though the vacuum will keep working with these items lodged inside, when I notice a change in tone, I grab it, perform a dart-ectomy, and send it on its way. For me this is important as I regularly have to remove Nerf darts or other small toys. I can pull off the main cover, take out the entire roller and the small dustbin. The robot vacuum's brushes (shown in the center) easily come apart in case small toys or other debris get lodged inside.Īnother great feature is how much of this thing comes apart. It's amazing to use one tool that can operate all on its own. Before the vacuum, I would either use the cord vacuum on both, switching between modes, or sweeping and vacuuming. Our house is a combo of carpet and hardwood, and the vacuum moves between each without issue. For someone with a less busy household, it could absolutely be run remotely. I turn it on via Alexa or just by pushing the button because I want to ensure there's no mud or cat puke that it could drag through. After each run it re-docks and empties into the freestanding bin. But for me this isn't a con, just proof of how much gunk it's pulling from the floors. We fill up the bin every two weeks, much quicker than the 30 days advertised. (As mentioned I have a messy family.) The amount of dirt this thing pulls in is absolutely disgusting. I run it at least twice a day in the main living areas. Now that our Shark is in place, I can't imagine going back to life without it. As you can see, it pulled up a lot of dust and dirt, though it stops short of actually scrubbing the floors. On the left is the floor near my cabinets before the Shark cleaned, and on the right is the after. My kids set up some obstacles for it in the living room, and we all watched as it maneuvered around them in a grid-like pattern before returning to the dock to empty itself. Even without the app, it began in a line-by-line pattern, using its bumper to detect anything in its way. The battery didn't come fully charged, but I was able to turn it on immediately to see how it worked. This includes my gawking time it was a quick process. In all, I spent about 20 minutes opening, setting up (trying a few spots, deciding where I wanted it) and getting everything plugged in. Though it suggested sitting next to the router, the signal reached fine and had no issues connecting. ![]() Next, I turned everything on and connected the device to my phone. Instead, I chose a smaller space, which hasn't seemed to negatively impact its functioning. I didn't have a large enough empty space that it asked for (three feet on either side or five feet in front). The directions called for an open space that would easily connect to Wi-Fi. I set up the charging base and plugged it in. I got to work unwrapping every piece, from the charging base, to the side brushes, which I had to attach myself. The vacuum arrived in a large box and plenty of secure packaging. I tried a couple of different spaces for the base before deciding on an out-of-the-way place between two baskets. ![]()
