We've had this robot now for about two years. I frequently/routinely clean all facets of the robot and base to include using mini tools to clean crevices and tubing.
PROs: Vacuums hard floors and rugs with no left behind dirt or hair Battery life for vacuuming covers entire 1st floor Mopping seams to do well enough to keep things clean if done often with map change outs every 3rd "mission."
CONs: Has an extremely hard time ramping up and into the base! We have to constantly return it manually after mopping 9/10 times and vacuuming 2/10 times. Base will not always evacuate/suck-up contents of dust cup from robot especially when manually returned to base. *This was never an issue with the previous non-mopping version Robot dust cup frequently is unable to fully empty into base. *This was never an issue with the previous non-mopping version Robot dust cup will be found overflowing with pet hair and dust into brushes. *This was never an issue with the previous non-mopping version Robot roller constantly entangled with women's hair. Mop plate rusts at metal components. Mop plate velcro strips fall off and are unable to be reglued properly back. Base does not do a good job of cleaning mop and has recently stopped cleaning all together.
Overall, the unit does a fairly good job. We still vacuum and steam mop our floors. Compared to our 2nd floor, the 1st floor is cleaner with the Shark robot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was reluctant to get a robot vacuum/mop, but now that I have I can't see myself without it. It does everything I would expect it to do and more. The only thing that would make it better is if it washed the dishes, too.
I bought this a couple of months ago. The box did not have the cleaning fluid or an owners manual. Now I can’t get the sharkclean.eu to download. I have had 2 of the shark robots and it surprises me. I really want to use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Junk! I am on my third one. This company refuses to refund my money So I can move on from this nightmare of a product. They just keep sending me machines that don’t work after 3 months. Vacuum part works fine. The mopping part works half the time. Save your money and buy an iRobot. Beware of the 5 star reviews. Those people get paid to post a 5 star review.
