Shark Ion Robot Vacuum 750 Review

The assembly process is easy. It's all you need to do is put the side brushes into place and plug it into its dock station. The robot's body, which is made from hard plastic with a matt-finish feels solid.

Like the Shark IQ, it uses random paths to cover its area and has limited physical automation features. It also has a non-descript dustbin capacity and no max fill sensor.

Battery life

The Ion Robot 750 has a battery life of 90 minutes at the maximum suction power. The robot operates in an energy-efficient Eco mode as its default mode, but you can toggle between this and the more robust 'Max' mode using the app. You can also control various options through the app, such as scheduling Upgrade Your Cleaning Routine With Matrix Robot Vacuum robot to clean at a time that is most suitable for you. The History tab of the app provides you with a complete readout of every cleaning session so you can determine if it requires to be recharged or not.

The ION Robot 750 feels well-made and has a long battery lifespan that should allow it to keep most rooms clean without needing to return to its dock. It can struggle to clean carpets with low pile and pet hair. Also, its automated features are not as advanced as those of the Shark AI Robot, which is more expensive.

The Ion Robot 750 is not particularly maneuverable, and relies on a random route to cover a large area. This could cause it to miss certain areas and accidentally go back over the same area more than once. It can also get stuck in rugs and cords. The robot takes about four hours to fully charge, even though it doesn't have a docking station that automatically emptys itself. It can be identified as charging when its two lights change from flashing to solid white. You can also check its battery status using the app, which will show its current state in a bar chart. You can use the app to create cleaning schedules as well as activate extended cleaning.

Performance on floors with no flooring

Shark's ION Robot is a straightforward budget-friendly option that feels well-made and offers decent battery life and does a great job of cleaning floors that are not clean. It isn't able to deal with pet hair, low-pile carpets and has a less sophisticated set of features for automation as compared to higher-end Shark models.

The Tri-Brush System is used to remove dirt, dust and debris from any surface, including corners and edges. It is compatible with the SharkClean App and voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant.

In contrast to the iRobot Roomba, which has a clever path however, the ION Robot is not as maneuverable and is more likely to overlook certain areas when cleaning other areas several times. Its random path can cause it to become stuck in furniture, get into obstacles such as electrical wires, or be unable to reach certain 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 activated by pressing an on-side button. It also comes with an IR sensor that can tell if the battery is depleted and return it to its charging station automatically.

The Shark companion app allows you to toggle between three power settings: the energy efficient 'Eco mode', the default Normal mode', and the High Suction Max mode. These modes can also be selected using the physical buttons on the top. The vacuum has two single-arm side brushes that assist in pushing debris into the direction of the main brushroll. It also has a handy bin that can be filled by pressing the trash button at the top.

Performance on low-pile Carpet

The Shark ION RV700 Series does well on low-pile flooring however it has a tough time dealing with pet hair or small particles. It also has poor maneuverability, and its basic random pathing navigation system is inefficient at covering a large area, which could cause it to miss spots and needing to cover them many times. And while it can climb over rug tassels, it sometimes gets caught in them and may require a trip around them more than once.

It has a relatively small dustbin, which needs to be emptied at the end of each cleaning session. And it doesn't have any sort of sensor to let you know when it's about to fill up, which could be annoying if you like to keep your robot on standby between scheduled cleaning sessions.

Eufy 11S, a low-cost robot that can clean low pile and bare floors effectively is a great choice. It's more convenient to store and more mobile than the Shark ION, especially when it comes to carpets that have higher pile. It doesn't have the "Max" power mode that the RV700 is equipped with and its dustbin isn't as large.

The iRobot Roomba E5 has a better design and dirt compartment that's upgraded, and is also less expensive. It also charges faster. However it has a lower battery life and can't handle rug cleaning as well. It does come with a smart app and voice control, which can make it more useful than the Shark for certain users. Shark ION is a good option if you're in search of robot vacuums that do a great job and doesn't need WiFi connectivity.

Performance on high-pile carpet

The Shark ION RV700 Series is capable of picking up small particles from carpets with low piles and picking up pet hair from the smallest dog bed, but struggles with more substantial debris such as cereal crumbs and melted chocolate. It's also not able to remove dirt embedded in wool rugs that are thick, such as a Persian or Kilim rug. It could also get caught on wires and tassels on heavier rugs.

The robot has poor maneuverability and relies on random pathing to cover its area instead of defining it and following efficient cleaning routes. It can vacuum some areas multiple times and miss others. It also fails to detect magnetic boundaries to keep out of areas it shouldn't be in.

However, it's easy to control with the SharkClean companion app, which is compatible with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa devices. The app lets you remotely control your vacuum. You can turn it off or on, change its power settings, have it return to the dock, schedule a clean session, etc. You can also set up virtual boundary lines to block the robot from entering rooms you don't want it to enter.

The app will also inform you if the robot is fully charged or charging. The dustbin of the robot isn't large, though you'll have to self empty shark vacuum it every cleaning session. It's also essential to replace the pre-motor filter and brushroll. If the vacuum is plugged into an extension cord, you should also periodically check it for tangled cables or any other obstructions. Also, the robotic vac is able to easily fall down stairs if it is placed too close to them.

The following are some of the most recent reviews:

This model is a basic robot vacuum which feels sturdy and has a good battery life. It also does a good job of removing pet hair and works well on flooring that is not clean. However it's not the most efficient at navigating itself around obstacles, and it has a basic navigation system that can result in it missing parts of your home. It also has high costs for recurring maintenance and requires demanding maintenance.

The RoboVac 11S from Eufy is a great alternative to this model. It's less expensive, gets rid of pet hair more effectively on all surfaces, and works better on floors with low pile than the Shark ION Robot. It is also simpler to store and the recurring costs are less. It's just that it doesn't come with an automatic base station that can empty itself, so you will have to empty the debris bin once it has reached capacity.

Another option is the iRobot Roomba j7, which offers many of the same features like the ION Robot but is more expensive. It's more robust and comfortable to hold, comes with a larger dust bin and it can resume cleaning from where it left off after returning to its dock to recharge. It's also able to set virtual boundary markers to keep it out of certain areas and has an extensive set of automated features.

The Shark Ion Robot, like many robotic vacuums, comes with an app that lets you manage its functions and set the time for cleaning. The main screen lets you begin the cleaning process from scratch as well as change the power settings and select various modes of operation. The application is available on Android and iOS and is compatible with your smart home devices so you can activate certain basic functions with voice commands.
