This is the cheapest self-cleaning robot Vac i have seen.

The Shark® EZ Robot is your easy path to a smart clean. After each cleaning session, your robot automatically empties itself into the bagless self-empty base, which holds multiple sessions' worth of dirt and debris so you can forget about vacuuming for weeks. Now that's easy.

FORGET ABOUT VACUUMING: The bagless, self-emptying base holds weeks of dirt and debris.
SHARK SUCTION: Powerful suction to tackle large and small debris, and pet hair.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Methodically cleans row by row, room to room.
RECHARGE & RESUME: It returns to the base, recharges, and can pick up where it left off.
APP/VOICE CONTROL: Easily start cleaning with Google Assistant or one tap in the app.
MULTI-SURFACE CLEANING: Handles dirt and debris on carpets and hard floors.

Been looking for a robot to vacuum all of my husky's hair in lieu of doing it twice a day with a stick vacuum. Going to order this now. Thanks

I have one of these and wouldn't recommend it. It has all the features that you would want, but it just doesn't do a good job utilizing them.
The room mapping is nice, but it took me around 10-15 goes for it to map out a floor which you are stuck with after mapping. You can not use the Shark on another floor without ruining your original mapping. Also, there is no spot cleaning option so it's not effective if you want to clean a small mess real quick.
It's also not that smart. It constantly runs out of batteries before docking, sometimes it won't be able to find the dock that it's literally next to, it doesn't seem to use the map to find the dock, doesn't show itself on the map in the app if you need to recover it, frequently has bumper stuck issues where it'll simply be pressed on the wall or a chair leg and too lazy to reverse out of the situation, it does not receive firmware updates automatically (or manually) and I have read that you have to cal support for them to push updates to this model, and there are a host of other issues as well.

Shark itself doesn't seem to market this version anymore on their website, so it's probably being phases out or this is excess inventory being sold off. Don't expect support for it going forward.

The only plus that I can think of is that, if you can get it to work right, the self empty feature is pretty handy.

I bought this from the link. Works way better than the ecobot I had - which I've relinquished to cleaning my bedroom only. This thing cleans up after 2 whippet Labradors and does a great job of sucking up all their fur. Any complaints about this at $288 are pretty silly and obviously privileged.

I have had this for about a week or more now. I can say it cleans pretty good but it takes several passes before the area is clean. The battery does run out pretty quick and it gets stuck a lot. It hasn't made it back to base at least 3 times and I have no idea why.

This is also my first robot vacuum I have owned so I don't know if this is common for every other robot vacuum. I think I will return this one and try a Roomba one.

I have had the the black release version of this for 2 years now and have 0 problems that you experienced. Yours must be defective. If you bought this on launch it would have lifetime warranty

Same issues that plagued the black one affect this one. Bad product. Best case it works for a very small floor plan with a few furniture pieces. Look for something with lidar.

Or maybe you're just ignorant about what you're missing out on from other vacuums. If you aren't aware of better options, the choice that you've made seems great. Maybe people would prefer to have a better/smarter vacuum in the same price range that doesn't have self-empty capabilities. Perhaps your willingness to pay ~$300 for a mediocre vacuum just so you don't have to empty it every day is "privileged".

That's not normal. Look at Roborock. They're the ones that made the gen1 Xiaomi Mi robovac's. I got my 1800Pa (suction.... the newer roborocks are 2000Pa+). That's not a suction power that you get in most robovacs...with 1000Pa or less being more common.

Plus, mine had laser navigation. As do all the roborock's, except for budget models.
I paid $260 for a gift for folks, and $277 for my own (I didn't want to wait for a sale, after hearing how great it was from them). Back then, they started out at like $250. But, that model was never meant for the intl market, and was meant only for mainland china.

The newer models are more costly (the equivalent type models, not the budget non-laser versions), but they're still an awesome bang for the buck. Also, avoid the units that also "mop." Since those types of robovac "mops" are literally like dragging a wet rag, attached to a string across the room. They do nothing to "mop", but simply leave water marks across the floor.

Current Roborock models are still a lot cheaper than iRoomba. And they're essentially all more powerful than essentially all iRoomba models (the top roomba model(s) are about equivalent on the Pa's of suction. But, the roborock ones are significantly cheaper too)

I bought this same model a week or so ago for the same price. This is my first robot vac but so far it's worked well. It even created a map on the first run and allows me to identify digital no-go zones via the app.

My only (minor) gripe is that the color is more of an off-white/cream color. Against white baseboards and cabinets it looks off.
