How To Setup Zones On SharkClean App

The Shark AI is a self navigating robot vacuum that you can setup and control via their SharkClean™ smart phone app. It has a lot of cool features including a charging station, self emptying base, self cleaning brushroll, side brushes, filter, and of course the option for home mapping of different zones.

The SharkClean™ app is voice control compatible and provides a way to setup and monitor the AI robot cleaner. The different zones can tell the machine where it can go and where it should not, as well as the different areas that might require more frequent vacuuming. Doing this is a great way to maximize the effectiveness of your Shark AI.

How to Buy The Best Robotic Pool Cleaner

A pool can provide countless hours of summertime fun for the entire family. There is nothing better than jumping in to cool off during a hot and sunny day. While this is definitely something to look forward to, it is not as much fun if the pool water is dirty or the liner is covered in grime. A vacuum cleaner is a must have tool for those who want to keep their pool looking like new. You can either do it by hand or buy a robotic vacuum to do it for you.

One big advantage to buying a robot cleaner instead of a manual one is it runs independent of your filter system. This means it can run on its’ own even when your filter is off. You can let the filter do what it does best without being bogged down with powering the vacuum.

Get Your Home Ready For Your Robot Vacuum

Robot vacuums are all the craze lately. They clean your home on a regular basis, and most of them have ‘Smart’ capabilities so you can control and program them via an app or smart phone. These types of vacuum cleaners work best on smooth or lower pile carpets, and especially well in more open rooms. You could describe them by using the words Convenient or Time Saving, especially if you have pets running around your home.

So you have decided to buy a new robotic vacuum but before you bring it home there are a few things you can do to get the rooms ready. These would include removing small items or cords and moving certain things out of the way to give it the best chance at thoroughly learning and cleaning each area. Here is a quick video that goes into detail of the things you can do for the most success. It is by Shark and geared towards their IQ Robot but it is applicable to really any smart capable brand.

Shark ION S87 vs R85 vs R75 vs R72

Shark is certainly one of the most innovative vacuum companies in the world. If you look at their lineup from top to bottom you will see a lot of features exclusive only to them, or at the very least invented by them. So it’s not surprising that they have multiple robot vacuums that you can put on auto-pilot, letting them do the cleaning that you don’t want to. One thing Shark has always done is looked at what their customers want out of a vacuum, and then responded by filling those needs. The ION lineup demonstrates that perfectly.

The robotic vacuum was originally made for hard floors to safe the trouble of using a broom and dust pan on a regular basis. They didn’t have sturdy brushrolls or much power so they were almost useless on anything other than tile, hardwood, or linoleum. But like most products sold today, the technology has improved dramatically in that area. Shark ION robots can tackle a variety of surfaces including carpeting. Let’s take a look at some of the main features found in this lineup before comparing each of the models side by side:

Dyson 360 Eye Robot Vacuum

The Dyson 360 Eye was designed from the start to NOT be your typical robot vacuum cleaner. Just like their larger models the Eye was built on the premise that more suction power is always better. In fact, their testing showed that it had twice the suction as the other top robotic vacuums sold today when picking up dust on multiple floor types. While this might not be something you would expect from a robot it is important because you want it to be effective during use as it typically won’t be making multiple passes over the same areas unless programmed to. The Dyson engineers wanted it to be much more efficient than other similar priced brands.

It’s hard to believe but Dyson engineers actually started working on the designs for a robot cleaner in 1999. They wanted to build a machine that cleaned properly on a regular schedule with no intervention on the owner’s part. It’s pretty obvious that this is no simple feat so they put time into the effort over the years, incorporating the improvements found on their more popular vacuums into what would eventually become the Eye. Just under 300 different validation tests were run to make sure it not only picked up dirt on many different surfaces but also that it would hold up under many years of typical use. It may have taken 17 years to hit the market, but in 2016 the first Dyson robotic vacuum rolled off the assembly line.
