I have owned this version the robot vacuums for about 6 months now. It looks nice and vacuums ok. But the mop and base are terribly designed. A step up from some of the previous versions. I use the shark cleaning fluid and there are two line behind the robot on the floor after the mop goes over than never seem to go away, no matter what mop heads I have tried. While you are able to wipe out some of the dirt from the bottom of the base, it does not come apart to actually really clean it. Also, I don’t think the lite stream of air that blows from the base onto the mop pad is really doing anything but making it more acceptable for gems to get on. Everyone knows heat kill germs. So this must of been a rush job to get something new out. The brush that moves back and forth to clean the mop head is not removable, so you are moving the gems back and forth between the cleaner and mop head. I see they now have one that has heat and a dryer. These are things their comparable competitors have had for a while. Save your money and get the new one, or a competitors that already have this stuff figured out for around the same price or cheaper.

I bought this vacuum/mop about 2 month ago because i heard good things about the shark robot vacuums but im not impressed. My regular shark vacuum works way better. For the price I honestly expected way better
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m very pleased with this vac/mop robot, it does a really good job. I have two dogs that shed and this vac keeps my floors looking great! The app is easy to use as well.
Unfortunately it just doesn't work. It gets lost, despite having mapped out the home, it somehow can find its way back to the dock and even gets distracted (it'll say its going back to the doc but decides to keep going in circles in a room. It slams into EVERYTHING. And the app just doesn't work. I'm supposed to be able to schedule rooms and times... decides to do its own thing. The buttons are grayed out and won't allow me to control the robot. It goes to the dock and says it'll resume where it left off as soon as its charged... reached 100% and still wouldn't allow me to activate it. Finally, it goes so... miserably slow... drains the battery fast and takes a lifetime to charge up. Should've bought a different robot....

I bought this product 1 year ago and I am so glad I did. It’s is wonderful. Easy setup. Easy to use. Robot does great with vacuuming and I use it every other day. The mopping function is good but I prefer to self mop. This product definitely decreases my daily chores. I am pleased. I have not been disappointed yet with any of the Shark products. I mostly purchase when items go on sale!
