My robot is almost a year old. At first it worked really good. Now I have scheduled it to go 2 times a week. It worked well at first, now does not run at all unless I hit the clean button on the remote. How long do these lithium batteries last??
Thank you

Just got mine for $300 at Bed Bath and Beyond. Totally worth the money, it did a pretty good job overall considering its saving me from needing to sweep and vacuum constantly.

Maybe run the Hoover once on the weekend for a deep clean.

I will say that on the bare floor I’ve noticed that at times the edge brushes can “kick” away food if moving in the opposite direction which may make it less effective. Still did a phenomenal job considering.

Cleaned 4 rooms, about 1,700 square feet, open concept house. I don’t believe it got to my kitchen though.

Despite it being “random” it definitely seems to remember at times. You can watch it avoid obsticals that may have been moved mid cleaning. It eventually got around to knowing it was “okay” but I felt it had some idea of where it was going and cleaned just about every spot in the rooms it did find.

Didn’t go down my hallway or around the kitchen island…. makes me wonder if it will “store” some sort of detail/ floor layout moving forward.

I received my robot for Christmas. I love it. I run it three days a week. I use my Shark Rotator for a thorough vacuum job. You wrote a wonderful review. I will say that as far as the edges go, I have seen the robot go fairly close and then go back again very close. I know that it does not have a memory, but at times it acts like it does. I am very happy with the cleaning job it does. I’m never embarrassed when someone drops by unexpectedly anymore.

Thanks again for your wonderful review.

Thank you very much for this review. I found this site while searching for a Shark ION ROBOT 750 review. I just purchased it from BestBuy.com for $279.99; I received a $70 Best Buy gift card with the purchase, so the product is effectively $209.99.

I usually do not care much for product reviews where the author hasn’t personally tested the product because it often just comes across as regurgitating manufacturer’s information, but this one was very smartly written. Thank you for your thoughts and opinions.

Most sites of this type I find through Google searches are pretty generic, so I was really impressed with this one and ended up reading every word of it! I was pleasantly surprised at the mentions of brands such as Xiaomi and retailers such as GearBest, as I don’t think mainstream customers in the US are aware of those sites. On that note, I’m glad you compared this vacuum to popular and expensive vacuums (e.g., iRobot Roomba, Dyson 360 Eye), as well as lesser-known and lower-priced ones (e.g., iLife, Eufy).

The one statement I found surprising was the multiple mentions that this robot vacuum does not deep clean carpets, as I thought to myself that there aren’t any mainstream robot vacuums that can. I’m very glad you added to the conclusion paragraph, “Don’t expect deep cleaning on carpet because it lacks power and agitation. Frankly, none of the robot vacuums currently available will be able to deep clean even the $1,000 Dyson 360 Eye.”

Thank you, and have a good day.
