I got the shark AI vacuum yesterday and promptly returned it today.

Few thoughts
* connectivity was a breeze
* Excellent build quality

And that's where the good stuff ended
* It has LiDAR, but it's a joke. I set the robot in explore mode, hoping it would map out our 2nd floor, and boy was I disappointed; the shark came out, took a spin(rotated) 4 feet from the base station, and decided it had enough and declared it's done mapping.
* First of all, the room map is so incomplete; I can't even say it tried.
* Secondly, it decided the satires and lower level is also part of the map. Maybe it couldn't detect where the second floor ended.
* Third, I don't think you can have multiple floor plans. You will have to delete the existing one in order to add a new one.
* I also had a shark camera-based self-empty model on sale for ~$280, which I had better luck with, but would not listen when I wanted it to vacuum a specific room. It would always clean everywhere. While I could not get that far, I am not very confident it will work as intended.

Maybe I got a dud, but my 3-year Roomba 980 seems to do a better job.

I will try i8+ tomorrow, which is far more expensive, but I guess you get what you pay for.

Oof..I pulled the trigger on the Shark AI hoping to have a better experience. I figure the multi-floor mapping will be addressed with a software update. Should be a fairly easy fix.

I too bought and returned it in February.. you are not alone. I took i8+ and i am happy. I wish roomba had the lidar sensors. But then i8+ is reliable, and spares are cheap.

T8 has better technology over this i7 with it's Lidar.
Can be run at night where the i7 cannot.
A decent mopping ability too.
$130 cheaper.

The biggest con is it's 1 year warranty where Costco is practically lifetime.

So it comes down to the long-term quality of ecovacs done they only have a 1 year warranty

How come you say Costco is lifetime warranty? Thanks!

Have used it for 2 weeks now. I have to say its navigation is not good. I noticed the room light plays a big role there. At first, the map was learned during evening with lighting on. Roomba seems lost when running in daylight. Today, it was totally lost when trying to head home base. This really sucks
