Shark ION ROBOT 750 Vacuum with Wi-Fi Connectivity + Voice Control, Works with Amazon Alexa (RV750)

Background: Let me first start by saying that I have owned two Roomba units before this (first a low end Roomba and then a 800 series Roomba that I paid $600 for and broke after two years). Because I was frustrated by how quickly my expensive Roomba broke, I next bought a much cheaper Ecovas unit for $200. I found the performance of Ecovas to be inferior to the Roomba (unit got stuck more often) so I decided to try the newly released Shark unit (which I ordered directly from Shark’s website).

Shark Review:
Overall, I think the Shark 750 is clearly better than the Ecovas unit I currently own and similar to Roomba quality. Actually, the Shark unit offered improvements to my Roomba in a few ways.

Navigation: I found that the Shark unit had the right height profile to avoid getting stuck under furniture (similar to Roomba). The Ecovas was getting stuck under my kitchen cabinets, certain parts of bed frame, etc. There were a few times where the Shark seemed to get stuck, but it wiggled around for a while and managed to free itself. The Shark also seemed to be able to navigate this super thick rug that my dog uses.

Cleaning power: I have hard surface floors (mix of wood and tile) and a 2-year old lab that sheds a lot. I found the Shark to be quite good at picking up dust / hair. The shark dusk bin has these pointed edges which I think reduces hair tangling for long hair around the brushes. The 800 series Roomba unit has these tangle free rollers which you can pull the hairs off which I like a lot, but I am not sure if it is worth $600 vs the $350 Shark.

Side brushes: The Shark unit has two side brushes compared to only one on my old Roomba unit (I guess two is better then one). The Ecovas unit also had two side brushes, but I found the bristles tended to tangle. The Shark unit has 1 long strand and 2 short strands, which looks a bit odd, but I think helps avoid tangling of bristles.

Magnetic tape: This was something new that I did not have with the Roomba or Ecovas. The Shark unit comes with magnetic tape to zone off unwanted areas. I have these electric cables under my desk that the Roomba and Ecovas would always get tangled and drag around. I zoned off the area with the tape and it seemed effective at keeping the Shark unit out (see picture). It is not the most pretty thing, but I’ll take it over having to untangle the cords from the vacuum. (Note I used up all the tape they gave me so if you have a bigger section or more areas, you’ll have to buy more tape).

Mobile App: The mobile app worked fine once I connected the Shark to the wifi. I was able to schedule cleaning sessions right from the app. (Note, I did have some trouble connecting to the wifi initially and had to try a few times).

Conclusion: For $350 (what I paid), the Shark 750 gives you similar performance to the much more expensive $600 Roomba unit that I had before and significantly better performance than the $200 Ecovas. I also like the magnetic tape solution to zone off the electronic cables.

Let me start this by saying I bought this product on my own and DID NOT receive it for free so this is an honest review from someone who actually spent the money on this product.
I have an Australian Shepherd who blows his coat twice a year (aka sheds all day, everyday all day). If you don’t keep up with the hair… it’s like the wild wild west with tumbleweeds just floating across my carpet and hardwood floors.
I have been looking into buying a robot vacuum for a while to help with maintenance vacuuming in between vacuuming with my shark upright duo clean (which is my second shark vacuum and it is absolutely amazing). I was looking at Roombas for a very long time but was hesitant as the price was so expensive and the lesser models I thought were not going to do a good job so I was looking to spend almost $1000 for the 900 model and almost pulled the trigger. Then I came across this shark ion robot vacuum by chance when it came out a week or month or so ago I believe. I waited to see some of the reviews on here and then went ahead and purchased it and boy am I glad I did! It has been well worth the $350 I paid. I can’t say I’ve ever owned a rumor but my parents have and comparing their experience and the experience as I have read through several reviews I believe that this vacuum meets up to the same standards at a reasonable price.
It does a wonderful job of picking up the dog hair, I was actually surprised of how much it actually picks up. Almost as much as my Shark upright. It also doesn’t really good job of picking up the find debris such as dust, dirt and sand. Also does a great job on larger debris such as dog food, leaves, grass, bark and other things that get tracked in from the bottom of shoes. I have used my upright directly after a robot cleaning just to see how much more I would get up and honestly I was surprised that it was minimal hair and debris and I mainly think it is because the vacuum can’t obviously get into every, nook, crany and tight corners.
I have used the app and scheduled timer and so far it works great. I love that you can start it and stop it away from home. I love that you also get alerts on exactly what is going on and what is wrong with the robot vacuum when it’s not working. The only problem I’ve had is that it was getting stuck under a shelf and I easily fixed this problem with the magnetic tape that came with this product. It bumps into the magnetic tape and keeps on doing it’s job. I like that it has a low profile clearance though so it can go under my bed and other pieces of furniture that have a higher clearance where a lot of dust and hair or not reachable with an upright vacuum. I do pick up the dogs toys and chewys to make sure it does not get stuck on them.
It does take a while to find it’s charger when running out of battery but it is just a robot and it makes sure it holds enough battery so it can do so. I’m pretty happy with the battery life. I live in a one bedroom, one bathroom apartment with a walk in closet, decent size kitchen and living room/dining room area. It is approximatley +900 ft.² and can clean all of it in one charge.
Overall, I am very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this to any family or friends and also to you. I would like to finish this review by saying it will not replace your upright vacuum but is a wonderful tool for maintenance vacuuming especially for someone with OCD like myself. I will update this review if I have any problems in the future. Thank you Shark for another well made product at a reasonable price!

I have been shopping around for robotic vacuums for several months but didn’t buy one because a) the Roomba models are expensive and b) many of the other, cheaper brands are unfamiliar to me. I own two regular Shark vacuum cleaners that I’m very happy with, so I was excited to discover they are also in this market at a price point I can accept. I waited for this model to come out because of the smartphone app (which works well) and the Alexa connection (which I haven’t actually tried out yet).

I love, love, love this vacuum. I have a combination of wood and carpet floors downstairs, it seems to navigate around fairly well, although it does have a tendency to get stuck in the thicker carpet in my front room. I have two cats, one is a medium hair that produces clouds of fur on a daily basis, this little robot has no problem keeping up with the fur. And it does pick up cat litter, while not perfect, very pleased with this. Self-docking works well. I appreciate both the audio alert from the unit and the text alert through the app when it gets stuck – if I’m upstairs I don’t always hear it asking for help.

Very happy with my purchase.

Fantastic! Keeps up with the endless supply of dog fur. Very quiet. It’s become my favorite family member. When it got stuck under the couch, it sent me a message that it was stuck and powering off. How considerate! The receptacle is large and easy to empty. Shark brand delivers a good product again!
