Our verdict
This is Shark's flagship and a genuinely strong cleaner. It is best for single-storey homes because it cannot store maps for several floors. In the UK, the black version is often hundreds of pounds cheaper than other colours.
What we like
- Vacuum Wars called it Shark's best robot yet and it avoided 20 of 24 test obstacles
- 88% in Vacuum Wars' carpet deep-clean test
- Expert Reviews praised its navigation and stain detection
- Cheap replacement parts in the UK
What to know
- No multi-floor map storage, according to Expert Reviews
- Noisy and uses a lot of water
- Struggles with thresholds above about 25 mm (Vacuum Wars)
