Shark vacuum robot self Empty Ion Robot Vacuum 750 Review

The assembly process is simple. All you have to do is attach the side brushes into place and plug it into its dock station. The robot's body is constructed of hard plastic with matte finish, and is very sturdy overall.

Like the Shark IQ, it uses random pathing to navigate its coverage area. It is also limited in its physical automation features. It has an empty dustbin capacity that is not remarkable and has no max-fill sensor.

Battery life

The Ion Robot 750 has a battery time of 90 minutes when using the highest suction power. This robot is set to an energy-efficient Eco mode and can be switched between it and the more powerful Max mode through the app. You can also control various settings from the app, such as scheduling your robot to clean at a certain time that is most suitable for you. The app's History tab provides you with a full readout of each cleaning session, as well, allowing you to see the results of the vacuum and whether it was required to return to its dock for a recharge.

The ION Robot 750 is well-made, and its long battery life will allow it to clean several rooms without having to return to the dock. It can struggle to clean carpets with low piles and pet hair. Also, its automation features aren't as advanced as those of the Shark AI Robot, which is more expensive.

The Ion Robot 750 is not very maneuverable and relies on a random path to cover a large area. This could cause it to miss certain areas or accidentally go back over the same spot more than once. It can also get stuck on rugs and get frequently caught on cords. The robot takes about four hours to fully charge, even though it does not have an automatic docking station that completely emptys itself. It can be identified as charging by the way its two lights change from flashing to solid white. You can also check the status of its battery using the app, which shows its current state in an e-bar chart. You can also utilize the app to design an agenda for cleaning and then enable extended cleaning.

Performance on floors that are not bare

Shark's ION robot is a low-cost option that has a good battery performance and cleans floors well. However, it isn't as effective with carpets with low pile and has a more basic set of automation features as compared to the more expensive Shark models.

The Tri-Brush System is used to remove dirt, dust and debris from any surface, including corners and edges. It also integrates with the SharkClean app and voice control through Alexa or Google Assistant, letting you start and stop cleaning at any time.

In contrast to the smart-pathing iRobot Roomba 675, the ION Robot has mediocre maneuverability and is prone to miss certain spots while vacuuming others over multiple times. The random path it takes can cause it to become stuck in furniture, get into obstacles such as electrical cords, or go through some places. It also isn't able to take as much debris off rugs.

The ION Robot is compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home. It can be triggered by pressing an on-side button. It also has an infrared sensor that can sense if it's running out of battery and automatically return to its charging station.

You can toggle between three different power modes using the shark self-emptying robot vacuum companion application - the energy-efficient 'Eco' mode, the default 'Normal' mode and the high-suction Max mode. There are physical buttons on top that let you choose these modes. This vacuum comes with two side brushes that have single-arms that can move debris along the direction of the main brushroll. It also has a convenient bin that can be emptied by pressing the trash button at the top.

Performance on low-pile Carpet

The shark robot vacmop pro ION RV700 Series performs fairly well on carpets with low pile but struggles with pet hair and fine particles. It is not maneuverable and its random navigation system may be inefficient and cause it to miss spots and require to cover the area more than once. It can also traverse over rug tassels, but sometimes gets stuck on them, and could have to move around several times.

It's got a tiny dustbin, which will need to be cleaned out after each cleaning session. It does not have an indicator that lets you know when it is about to fill up. This can be annoying in the event that your robot is on standby between scheduled cleaning sessions.

If you're looking to find a budget robot that will offer you a clean and effective cleaning on bare floors and low-pile carpets the Eufy 11S is an alternative worth considering. It's easier to store and more maneuverable than the Shark ION, especially when it comes to carpets that have higher pile. However, it's not equipped with the "Max" power mode that the RV700 is equipped with and its dustbin isn't as large.

Alternatively, the iRobot Roomba E5 is much better-built, has an improved dirt compartment and is also less expensive. It also charges faster than the Shark ION. It has a lower life battery and doesn't handle rugs well. It does have an intelligent app and voice control, however which makes it more effective than the Shark for some users. But if you want an appliance that can do a great job of vacuuming, and doesn't require WiFi connectivity and isn't a big deal, then the shark wand vacuum self empty ION is a decent choice.

Performance on high-pile carpet

The Shark ION RV700 Series is capable of picking up fine particles from carpets with low piles and picking up pet hair from the smallest dog bed, but it struggles with more substantial debris like cereal crumbs and melting chocolate. It also has trouble removing the dirt that has been embedded in a wool rug, such as a rug called a kilim or Persian rug. It can also get stuck on wires and tassels on rugs that are heavier.

The robot is not very maneuverable, and relies on random paths to cover its area of coverage instead of laying out and following efficient routes. It can vacuum some areas more than once and leave out other areas. It doesn't even recognize magnetic boundaries to keep out of areas it shouldn't be in.

The SharkClean app is easy to use and is compatible with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. The app allows you to remotely control your vacuum. You can turn it on or off or alter its power settings, have it return to the dock, schedule an emptying session, etc. You can also create virtual boundary lines to stop the robot from entering rooms you do not want to be in.

The app will also inform you if the robot is fully charged or charging. The robot's dustbin is, however, not large, so you'll have empty it after each cleaning session. It's also important to replace the pre-motor filter and brushroll. If the vacuum is hooked into an extension cord, you should also periodically check it for tangled cables or other obstructions. The robot vacuum may slide down the stairs if placed too close.

Here are some of the most recent reviews:

This is a basic robot that is well-made and has an extremely long battery life. It also does a good job of cleaning pet hair and works well on floors that are not paved. It's not very good at getting around obstacles and its navigation system isn't very sophisticated. This can cause it to not be able to locate certain areas in your house. It's expensive to maintain and requires a lot of maintenance.

The eufy RoboVac11S is a great alternative to this model. It's less expensive, cleans pet hair more efficiently across all types of surfaces, and has a better performance on carpets with a low pile than the shark detect pro self-empty robot vacuum ION Robot. It's also more convenient to store and incurs lower recurring costs. However, it's not equipped with self-emptying base stations, so you will have to manually empty its debris bin once it has reached capacity.

The iRobot Roomba j7 is another alternative. It has many of the same features as the ION Robot, but is more expensive. It feels sturdier and more comfortable to hold. It also has a much larger dustbin, and it can resume cleaning from where it left off after returning to its dock to recharge. It can also set up virtual boundaries to block it from certain areas and comes with a range of advanced automation features.

The Shark Ion Robot, like the majority of robotic vacuums, comes with an app that lets you manage its features and set cleaning time. The main screen lets you start a new cleaning task alter the power settings, and select different modes of operation. The app is available on both Android and iOS and integrates with your smart home devices so that you can turn on certain basic functions with voice commands.
