I have had several robot vacs. This one was promising. I had high hopes. It cleans well but the mapping and app are horrible. We got a Roomba I8 last Christmas and moved the shark upstairs. The roomba had a map created perfectly in a few runs. The Shark has STILL not created a full map. It cleans rooms and never adds them to the map. It took 2 months to create the main floor map when we had it there. Over 60 days of running with no map. I'm not sure why they have that much trouble.

It will clean your floors. Just know that the mapping, and therefore, the ability to send it to one specific room, will take a while. It may not happen for you. Check online reviews. I highly suggest another brand.

Do you have the Gen 1, or the Gen 2 with the additional floor tracking downward facing sensor? I just picked up this one, after seeing some reviews that the Gen 2 additional sensor helped alleviate some of the mapping problems you're describing. Hoping it works out for me when it arrives later this week

Thanks, but I was more wondering whether CxThree's poor mapping experience was with a Gen 1 or Gen 2, not about AV1010AE being Gen 1 or Gen2 ( it's Gen 2).
My AV10101AE arrived late last week and has been peforming well. It's the first time I've used a robot vacuum, so I don't have much to compare to. However, it mapped the first floor creating very recognizable outlines of the rooms. It is now effectively able to be commanded to clean foyer/kitchen/whatever, it travels to that room, and then heads back to the dock. Good Stuff!

I am happy with the purchase, I'd buy it again if I was sent back to Prime day.
It does a nice job on the floors; carpet looks similar to to when I vacuum by hand, and the hard floors get the crumbs and dust picked up.
In one run recently, I had the chance to see the anti-fall stair detection in play. The robot went right up to the basement stairs and overhung it, but, backed up and shuffled along the edge of the steps without falling. I was ready to jump in and grab it if it went over, but, I didn't have to.
The vacuum sucked up a sock recently, that I must've missed when attempting to make sure the area was clean before running the Shark. The robot and the app notified me that something was caught underneath, and I was able to yank the sock out and get things going again.

Thanks for the feedback. Does it do a good job of vacuuming in neat rows? My old roomba just randomly bounces around and it is so inefficient. One more question. Does this have the option for no-go zones on the map?

Yes, it does attempt to navigate edge-to-edge and then turn to go in the parallel opposite direction.
I haven't used the no-go zones feature, but it's there. I do have a few areas where cords hang out, so I've been careful to tuck those out of reach before running the vacuum. I may have to give this a shot though!

Thanks for such helpful responses. I saw some comments on other platforms complain about the lack of no go zones but some people seem to have it. Maybe there was a software update.
