3 months – SharkClean Review

I have used this app for over 3 months now. It mostly works as expected. Initially connecting my shark to WiFi had problems but I was able to figure it out. It took my shark about a week to map out the whole house the first time. It didn’t look right so I erased it and started over. After 1 run it had my house mapped much better. It still looks kind of funny but it resembles my house. Now that my house is mapped out I can send the shark to clean specific rooms. I set my Shark to run everyday and I have had no problems with scheduling the shark. I have had no problems Switching between normal, eco and max modes. No problems with the notifications. The Shark always finds its way back to the dock very quickly and sometimes more then once in a cleaning, unless somebody picks the shark up or a problem occurs. Noticeable problems: when I set it to an area, it starts vacuuming it’s way to the area, doing areas I didn’t tell it to, instead of just manuavireng it’s self to the general area and beginning there. Also sometimes I open this app to send the Shark, which was cleaning because it was scheduled to, back to the dock and they are off sync. The shark is vacuuming but the only options I have on my app is schedule, clean and history. No docking option. What I would like to see in future updates: Have the shark continuously mapping and updating to its map. Just send push notifications to confirm the new map vs the old one. I didn’t have all the bedrooms opened initially but it wonders in there from time to time and still has not realized that it discovered a new area. Plus all the furnitures and obstacles will not always be in the same location. Also, all the functions seem to only work separately. It would be nice to be able to schedule and set the areas and strength. Such as Mondays set to do the kitchen area only at Max strength, Tuesday set to do the entire house “except” the kitchen and bedroom areas on eco mode. It would be nice to tell it where not to go from the app. I refuse to put a hideous magnetic strip any where guest may see it. I have not had the opportunity to try it with Alexa. I have not had Roomba with mapping to compare the mapping to it. Overall I think the app “gets the job done” but could do much better. I hope this helps and I hope you take some suggestions for the future updates.
