AV753 ION Robot Vacuum, Tri-Brush System, Wifi Connected, 120 Min Runtime, Works with Alexa, Multi Surface Cleaning, Grey

I have received the Shark ION Robit Vacuum and I am totally shocked to see that it is equipped with a 110-120 V AC power adapter. But in UAE we only use 220 -240 V AC. Two things to raise a flag for: 1- Nothing anywhere in the product description says that it will come with a 110-120 V AC power adapter. 2- More than 20 years back, everyone in the world is making only switching power adapters that can handle both 110-120 and 220-240 VAC. So what shall I do now, perhaps throw it in the garbage....

Pros: Cleans well Simple to clean/replace parts Good for single floor homes Cons: Loud/bumps into walls App not fantastic but servicable No grid cleaning Floor needs to be clear (no items laying around) After nearly two years my device finally stopped working. I absolutely loved this machine and was devastated when it stopped working. I used this machine daily, often twice a day, for nearly two years. In that time, I used my standup vacuum maybe a handful of times for big messes that need to be cleaned up immediately. Other than that, I used the robot vacuum. I lived in single story 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with a mix of carpet/tile while the vacuum was in use. Mostly live alone with one cat. I learned quickly that prior to having this robot vacuum, I was not cleaning my floor often enough. Every single time I would run the Shark it would pick up huge clumps of cat hair, dirt, and debris. I often received compliments on how clean my place was. For the first year or so, I had the Shark set to start cleaning while I was at work. After it got stuck a few times and ran out of battery I decided to just run it manually. Manual use is super simple - literally just press the button on the device and it takes off. It would run for about two hours or so and return to the charging base. It is not methodical in the way it cleans - it just bounces from wall to wall like that old screensaver (it’s kind of addictive to watch) - but it does the job. You do need to make sure to pick up any big things on the floor before you run it. It will get caught in curtains, shoe strings, phone charging cables, dirty clothes, etc. and it’s kind of loud. Definitely not anywhere near a standup vacuum, but it does make a whirring noise and bumps a little too loudly against the walls. Living in an apartment, I didn’t run it at night because the thumps might’ve bothered my downstairs neighbors. I didn’t like to have it running while I had company over or when I was trying to nap, but other than that it was fine. Cleaning (the vacuum) is self explanatory I think, comparable to other robot vacuums from what I can tell. I needed to open it up and clean the brush maybe quarterly if necessary. The brushes start to bend after getting used, but I just switched which side they were on to get them to bend the other way - not an issue at all. I actually replaced the brushes and filter only once after about a year. I accidentally threw away the filter and didn’t even realize it was gone for months, the vacuum still worked great. This was easily the cleaning device I used the most and I will be prioritizing getting a replacement asap.

While relatives have had them for years, this is MY first robot vacuum. In my opinion, this is the BEST budget vacuum at the price point. I purchased one on sale for $139. It was super easy to get started and watch it go with AMAZING results in the dustbin! Okay, so it was purchased to use at my parents' house, but I HAD to test it, right? :) Now, it worked so well, I immediately ordered 2 more (taking advantage of the $ale) and have 2 at my parents' house and one at my own. I use the schedule feature in the app to run mine every day at 9am. It starts up perfectly. With a Basset hound, it does an amazing job of keeping the house livable in between my own vacuum/mop jobs. I'm a firm believer in doing a deep clean with a larger vacuum, but with this running in between, my house is HUGELY improved. To top it off, running it at my parents' house couldn't be easier with the app. I can start and stop them on MY app, and all they have to do is empty the dust bins. I've been running them for a little over a month now, and am very happy with the results. PROS: -Runs much longer than predicted, even on standard power. -Easy to empty dustbin. -It has an Air filter (and despite others saying you have to remove screws to get to it, you don't. The outer mesh is fixed in place with a screw, but the filter cartridge slips out the side). -You can "Set it and forget it" for the most part if you use scheduling. -Compared to a standard vacuum, this baby is VERY quiet. That isn't to say it doesn't make any noise (seriously, it has suction and airflow... it's GONNA make noise). -If you put it in ECO mode, it is even quieter, but regardless of the mode, my basset doesn't run from it. :) CONS: All 3 of the models have a 'different' sound when running. Seriously, they each sound completely different and have different noise levels, which makes me wonder. Next, she -her name is Suzie- completely ignores the boundary strips I purchased to use. (And no, I did NOT place it under anything. I even tested by laying it face up straight across the edge of the carpet... on top. NOPE, she rolls right over it -_- ... and the 2nd one I cut to fit the base of a pole lamp that she kept getting stuck half on/off of. Since it was metal, the strip just magnetically attached to the round base side... NOPE, she still bangs into it. Although she hasn't hopped up onto it anymore so... you be the judge) TIPS: 1st-If you get it on sale, go ahead and add the warranty coverage. I did. In my opinion, a CYA is always a good thing. It gives me piece of mind that if one of them turns out to be a lemon (all things have them, even vehicles) I'm covered. The most I'd have to pay is shipping and that is NOTHING compared to purchasing a new one. Besides, as I said above, they each have a unique motor sound, and I feel better knowing that if there is anything that would take away from the motor life involved, I'll get a repair or a replacement. 2nd-take the time to look at the undercarriage and inspect the roller. You never know what could potentially get wound onto that brush roll, and it's super easy to pop it out and clean it off (if you've ever had a large vacuum, you should already know to do this as regular maintenance). Keep in mind that the harder that brush roll has to work, the more pull it puts on the Motor. Stressing that little thing will potentially take away from its life of service. Final Thoughts? I love it and would recommend it to anybody and everybody. And if it's on sale it is HUGE bang for your buck$! ** I gave all 5 stars except the 4 on Deep Cleaning ONLY because of my own beliefs that you need to get out the big vacuum at least once a month (depending on your environment maybe a little more often).

I've had this for about 1.5 years. I have a dog and 2 cats and very messy children. This little guy handles everything like a champ. He is not super efficient - I'm pretty sure I could vacuum the house significantly faster than he does - but I can turn him on and essentially ignore him while i do something else, until he gets stuck or full (usually every 30 minutes or so). He's very gentle too - he comes right up my dog's tail (my dog is old, blind, and *over it* so he doesn't even move out of the way) and doesn't hurt him at all. But he cleans up everything from Christmas tree pine needles to hair and fur to pieces of foam or cardboard that my cat scratched up to *all the crumbs* - and he does it on carpet or hard surfaces just as well. When he gets hair or a cord wrapped around his various parts, it's really easy to pull off the relevant part, remove the hair, and he's back to work. He's an adventurer and likes to go under or over anything he can, so i make sure to block off anything that could be dangerous (i.e. stairs), but I do love how persistent he is at getting under any furniture he fits under. After he's done, the house looks great! He's also fun to watch (unfortunately I have not convinced either of my cats to go for a ride) and makes only a mild amount of vacuum noise. I *highly* recommend based on value, durability, ease of maintenance, and effectiveness. One of my favorite purchases ever!

Okay, I seriously LOVE this thing. I named mine “Sharky” and he’s basically a member of the family now 😂. The Shark ION does such a good job picking up pet hair, dust, and crumbs—especially from under the couch where I never want to go. It’s super easy to use—just press a button or shout at Alexa and off it goes like a tiny cleaning ninja. The suction is way better than I expected, and the battery lasts long enough to do most of my place in one shot. It goes back to charge itself when it’s tired (wish I could do that), and the dustbin is a decent size too. No constant emptying needed. I’ve got mostly hardwood floors with a couple rugs, and it transitions between them like a pro. If you hate vacuuming or just want your floors to magically stay clean—get this. Total game changer.

Muy buen producto si se utiliza en los lugares adecuados. Lo recomiendo ampliamente para pisos, areas con alfombras de pelo corto y areas despejadas y no muy amplias. Recomendaría un robot con sistema mas avanzado de navegación para areas mas extensas o con muchos cuartos. Nota: no funciona con alexa México, aunque utiliza su propia app y eso es suficiente
