I've done some research and this is a good one. I've been waiting for the price to drop and purchased this AM 😁

Better than the ECOVACS DeeBot N8+ Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop for $288?

Hard to say, I see mixed reviews on robots with mopping features which I'm not interested. I wanted one with the waste removal feature and lidar to not tear up my walls and furniture as much.

This is the one I've had my eye on because of the price/performance. Going to read some reviews again before I pull the trigger.

I have been using the XL base version of this for the last 5-6 months (since BF) I got it at around $330 direct from Shark. (their warranty is pretty good, first one died after the 3rd month and they immediately sent a new one)

Good:
Bagless base is awesome
Untangle brush is good, not great but can go on weeks or months without having to clean the brush.
3yr Shark VIP warranty.(not sure if it's the same for the ones purchased on Amazon)

Bad:
Loud, compared to my other two robot vacuums.
App doesn't show the exact point of the vac. and it's path so there is no way of knowing where exactly it cleaned through the app.
App is not reliable.
Battery life is poor cleaning an entire 1500 SF floor takes hours
No mop feature. I used this feature a lot with my eufy before it's battery died, and honestly I miss it.

Recommended?
At this price yes, But I wouldn't pay more than $300-350 for it. I don't think it will last more than a year. Shark warranty gives you 3 years replacement. (I guess they replace max number of 2 units so probably I will get another one after this one dies)

Thanks for your review. Can you verify your model #? The XL series you mentioned is an older, discontinued model. https://www.sharkclean.ca/product...dRV1001AEC

I have this with the 60 day base and I'm pretty happy with it. Roller is super easy to clean and suction seems decent. It does a much better than our older model roomba that bumps into everything. App is a little buggy though and doesn't show where it cleaned exactly which would be cool. Also it would be nice to have the the option to vacuum different areas on their own schedules. But overall I'm pretty happy and I've had it since Black Friday. Might get another for downstairs…

Thanks. The deal has only 4.5 hours left, I guess I'd better make up my mind, lol. I don't know if I'll get a better price for a self-emptying, HEPA vacuum before BF. Noise might be an issue, but my regular vac is noisy. This model did as well as Vacuum Wars' top pick in the deep clean test.

I tried this a few months ago. Returned it after 3 days of attempting to use it. The vacuum regularly failed to navigate its way back to the auto-empty base, the navigation was terrible, extremely noisy, and regularly ran into cables/stuff on floor and got stuck.

That was after the stupid robot failed to even connect with the app for the first day of attempting to use the thing.

Highly suggest staying away from this one and get a Roborock, etc.

I purchased this during the deal and used it for 3 days. So far i am very happy about it. Noise is not too loud. Cleans well and goes back to its base when job is done. Could be found if lost with some audio features but not from app.
