The ULTIMATE Test - Saw Dust - Hair - Concrete Pieces - Bug - SHARK IQ -VS- iRobot Roomba i7 i7+

Huge test to see which robot can get the job done! Long video but lots of good info if you are deciding on which one to get.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes, Once again this is an extreme test! People have been asking for this. If one can get it done then the other should be able to as well. (If it is a good robot) Some people comment saying its a stupid useless test. Well a few of my robots can complete this test. Please like and subscribe!

I agree that the shark iq should, but comparing the roomba i7+ which is twice as expensive as the shark iq is an unfair comparison and its unreasonable to expect the same level of performance imo. Its like comparing a 500 dollar phone to a 1000 dollar phone, two different ball games imo.

[@dragngt]

I get your argument. It should have a bin sensor to help it in situations like this. However... almost no one will let a robot clean up a mess like this. These robots are meant to maintain your floors on a day to day basis. If the Shark empties its bin every time it docks and keeps your floor neat and tidy, what’s the issue?

[@xPaulRulesTheWorldx]

Agreed. When I got my roomba 960 it filled the bin twice the first few cleaning cycles, after that it would last 3-4 days (daily cleaning because of cat and dog). For home use it should be just fine :)

[@Kingovcali8667]

I agree. It is suppose to maintain. Not clean a big mess lol.

So far so good with this vacuum. kzbin.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

In the settings for your robot there's a toggle to turn off or on the evacuate and resume feature. If that's off it won't return to empty and then continue again I believe.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

In his other video it did return but not until after it was so full it errored out trying to get there so I'd say it's not off. Of course, defective units are a thing so maybe that's it.

[@mlichaelongmire]

Miy shark does and it empties frequently.and never has an issue with normal vacuuming. It’s an unfair test . High end roombe vs mid range shark I have no complaints with my shark

[@lolhippo3711]

Went from a roomba 980 to this shark. The Shark works way better, empties the bin when full and carries on cleaning, sometimes 2 or 3 times per daily cleaning. It must have a sensor? I have several large birds that scatter food and pieces of wood around the cages and this has been less problematic than the roomba and kept things noticeably cleaner. Hair used to destroy the brush rollers on the 980, shark doesn't collect hair. I've owned roombas since the early series ( owned 5 of them in the last 7 years ) and the shark is the best robot yet. Also no bags to buy, and a quarter of the price.

[@AdamsReviews]

Glad you like it but it does not have a sensor that was one of my main complaints.

[@TheHailstorm77]

Tech Reviews and More! It’s called turn on your settings to do self emptying. Hello! 😂 You even avoid people on here asking if you even turned it on. Because if you didn’t, that means you didn’t even read the manual.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

We have a 980 the only issues we really have with it were inadvertently caused by us. The short version is we killed its wifi so the app doesn't work and it doesn't navigate as well. We're getting the i7 but we're going to let the 980 run out in the garage on demand until it dies.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

@@TheHailstorm77 In his other video it tried to self empty but not until it was so full it errored out on the way. Other reviewers have stated that the i7 and s9 are the only robots with full bin sensors. The other robots either use a timer or an algorithm. Does that matter in day-to-day cleaning? I suppose it depends on how big or dirty your house is. I'd say in most cases not much. Also, why would that setting be off by default if it comes with an emptying bin? That's kind of stupid.

[@mrb692]

It will empty in the middle of the run, but there is no full bin sensor. The mid-clean self emptying works by having it clean for 30 minutes, then go back to the dock, and then resume cleaning

How loud is those robots that clean the floor

[@SirSteveFury]

Both the units could not complete the task without your intervention plus the Roomba malfunctioned several times(indicator ight malfunctions,bag problems,jammed hair wrapped rollers and debris backups). You discredit the shark because it wont do the extreme unrealistic test even though both failed. If you scatter 1/2 inch bolts around will the Roomba clean them up? If not then the Roomba is junk using your own logic. A real test would be to start each unit and see if they can complete the task without you having to tinker with them. Bottom line is they both failed.

[@robovaccollector]

You're right, but this is unrealistic test, and he mainly wanted to test the self emptying docks, not the robots. And really, Shark IQ is garbage. It can't even map the entire house after 30 cycles 🤦‍♂️ Just look at the price of it, price says everything. Also, btw, I was trying simillar test in my garage with my old Roomba 555 and it picked up all of the mess, small nails, workshop dust, leaves, long hair, some other dirt, with just 3x cleaning the bin, because it was full. AeroForce is system made especially for dust, crumbs, or some smaller cereal, old iRobot dual brush system cleaning heads picked up everything, and even some smaller LEGO bricks!

[@SirSteveFury]

Well we've had our Shark for almost 10 months and its done very well. It had mapped the house after its second use. It picks up the normal things I'd expect it to. We have a Great Pyrenees dog. If the floor isn't vacuumed every other day then the hair clumps in clouds everywhere especially in the corners. If the bin is full then it returns to base for an empty, then continues on its task without intervention. Let me do an analogy. I could go to a vehicle dealership and buy a $140,000 2 ton truck when the only thing I'm ever going to haul is myself and a dog. The big truck can haul gravel, a 5th wheel gooseneck trailer loaded with farm products or heavy cars and other very heavy things. -But if the truck isn't ever going to be used for that utility then its a huge waste of money. Better to spend $28K on a nice 1/4 ton truck and pocket the $112,000 savings. Is the 1/4T truck really "junk"? If the heavy utility isn't needed then the a junk statement would be misleading and untrue. Since I'm not going to be cleaning up chunks of cement, nuts n bolts, bits of brick or sizeable splintered wood fragments from my household hardwood and carpeted floors then spending twice the amount for one of the most expensive model produced just doesn't make any sense. That's pretty much what these tests have confirmed.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

It only errored twice to the point it stopped and one was the bag being full. Is that even really an error? He states it's unrealistic most stress tests are. He could've tried longer with the shark but as overfull as it was I don't think there was a point. I watched the other test he referred to in this video(with the pasta) where he let it try longer. In that test it did try to self empty but apparently too late and would get the same error only when he turned it over there wasn't a bunch of crap under it the bin was just full so apparently, it thought it couldn't move. I have a 980 that I don't recall ever stopping because of a full bin. I've actually wondered why it would keep going. I'm not sure if that's a good thing but we've had it a long time and it's still going soo...

A sensor would add unnecessary cost and complexity. The thing is designed to clean your house everyday so your floors will never be dirty enough to fill the tray. Why build something that's able to suck up an ocean when you only need a glass. Events that happen maybe once every couple of years like spilling an entire box of cereal should be cleaned up immediately by a human. The robot handles the monotony of day to day cleaning without any human intervention and as an owner im greatly satisfied.

I agree with you. The Shark IQ IMO w/o the empty bin should be selling for under $200 at Big Lots. And negative ghostrider, those updates didn't do poo. Last one, in 2022, didn't help or do anything. And even after 20+ runs, it still doesn't have the right map layout of my home. As far as the iRobot, I have a scooba Gen2. Not a fan of it's non-mapping ability but it cleans the hardwood floor well enough. THe ONLY issue I see with the iRobot is, the side brushes spin TOO fast. Throws more then it picks up.

When I run my IQ+ robot as a pollen, dust, pet hair cleaner on a daily basis, most I get is a baseball card wad of hair & debris inside the base's dust bin. You ask too much from this budget robot, I like mine with the Oct 2019 firmware, but the latest 2.3.4 (1063) dropped battery % display, which was useful. As a big job cleanup device, this robot isn't it, correct. But seriously, all these robots take so long to clean I would never give a large cleanup task to robot. The $499 price was right in the market, even with i7+ down to $799. Mine used to appear to empty at 50% battery charge, around 30 minutes of cleaning.

I think only the top line Roomba models have a sensor that detects if the bin is full or not. For the money I think most won't miss that feature seeing as it's unlikely that the vacuum would fill itself prior to completing a cleaning run, so I disagree with you, unless of coarse the fore mentioned feature could be implemented without increasing the cost at all. My problem with the shark is that the docking bin doesn't use bags which means exposing yourself to the dust that was vacuumed every time you empty the bin. Deebot T8+ get my vote because it's arguably better at finding it's way around a house than the i7 and while it lacks the bin sensor, it's dock does use bags so no dust issue. Those are twice as much as the shark but navigate better are still less than half the price of the i7.

RailgunCat Puff So I had a similar problem with the Shark IQ and large messes like this. The Shark does not have a dirt detection or dirt bin full sensor so the robot does not know when to return to the dock and empty itself. There is a feature in the app called Evacuate and Resume which is a timer based function, so basically the robot will go out for about 30 minutes than return to the dock to empty it self and resume where it left off. During my testing I noticed the robot only did this once covering my 2,800 sq-ft main level.

When I get a new house I’ll probably do the same thing but it’ll probably be with lots of small Legos and literally the only Legos I have that are small or my Mario Legos and then I’ll probably get a room for 900 series which I don’t like kidding how do you like it but I’ve never had one of them and I’ve been asking for the room to be in my room but my dad won’t let me at Allens tech curve use

Who the crap uses a robot vacuum for a job site cleanup?

[@Vortechtral]

It was an extreme test, he even said so himself. People want to see how these things handle a lot of debris. While normally no you would never use it for this much, and got for a shop vac or a broom , its good to see what is and isn't good in the end. You now know Shark doesn't have a sensor in its dust bin. The one thing I do however like about Shark's has the slow edge cleaning brushes, and that it has 2 edge cleaners over Roomba's 1 and fast spinning. Roomba flicks things around often where the slow brushes have less chance to toss things around. In the end the test proves that you pay more for Roomba, but you do get quality.

It is not an extreme test, it is an idiot of a test, using a product to attempt something it was not designed for, then crying about its performance. Good for rumba, it did better, and cost how much more? My Shark IQ works fine and does a great job after completing the mapping process, ......... but I use mine for its intended purpose. This silly “Extreme Testing” is a huge misrepresentation!

[@JonPoklop]

I know I always leave concrete lying around the house for a $500-$1000 robot designed for hardwood floors and carpet to clean instead of is using a $50 shop vac designed for the job.

[@JonPoklop]

@@Vortechtral It's not an extreme test. It's doing multiple things the product manual says not to do.

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

@@johnt5468 It amazes me how many people don't understand the concept of a stress test. It's just a test to see where a robot's limits are. I think it succeeded in that regard.

[@curtishoward9013]

I watched this video and looked at it as over kill of this robot, even with the commentary. I have purchased this product and am awaiting delivery. I don't see this being an issue for me in that I live in a 850 square food condo, not in a construction site. My space is two bed rooms, kitchen, living room and dinning room. a complete cleaning won't fill the the internal storage and when it docks after cleaning will void the contents of this cleaning. It looks like Roomba i7 had similar issues. This video was not a decision maker for me.

[@AdamsReviews]

Thanks Curtis but it was just a head to head challenge showing the difference between the two.

[@nizarnabhan7573]

You said it yourself they are not make to do construction job to clean up, even if told the company what you did you will lose your warranty right way too for any vacuums except the one are made for it.

[@mrniceguy3563]

I don't see how a sensor for self-empanying when it's full makes any sense I don't see a vacuum like this getting full after vacuuming your whole house unless you don't clean it for several months my vacuum is the same one it never fool after a full vacuum it will sell empty after done

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

It depends on how often you run it, how large your house is, how many pets you have, and how much they shed.

[@beepboopsbandjam9406]

It has a better way to clean than a romba but that empty system is just sad.

[@TheDiabeticDietShow]

What happened to the bug? Did he go to bug heaven? Shark should give you new rollers for this video.

How would the Roomba S9 do on this test?

[@AdamsReviews]

Better then all of them

[@pourartistacrylicsbyshanno3987]

@@AdamsReviews I can't get past the s9s price especially when I don't like how it looks or how loud it is.

[@markrocka8718]

Shark vacuums are junk. Mine broke in 3 months and they refuse to honor the warranty because I unscrewed a single screw that held on a side brush. They said that voided the warranty.

[@prissnelson1083]

I agree with you

[@PumpUptheJam81]

It is not designed to clean up a big mess. That is was a broom is for. These are made to maintain a space day to day, not deep clean. Go to anyone’s home who is too lazy to sweep or use a real vacuum and it will be filthy.

It’s a pretty abnormal amount of dirt on the floor I guess that’s why they both might be having a bit of trouble but the shark is just trash in general: it’s just my opinion

Yes...it was more just for fun thats why I called it the ultimate test.

Colbryn Roberts yes is that turned on?

[@AdamsReviews]

@@transammatt of course it is turned on. Like i said the problem is no sensor so it will only go back once or twice even for a large floor plan.

[@kevinjohnson5176]

No mention of the rumba erroring out. Looks like the rumba errored out just as quick as the shark did. but heard all kinds of excuses for the rumba. looks like someone is bias about the product.

[@tomas_bartek]

The Shark IQ is only made for theese beeping noises😂

[@undergod1987]

These are where the random path works a little nicer (minus the auto empty). The random path would clean everything a lot better because when the side brush flung stuff it would on average run over the whole floor at least twice on a room this size and no obstruction a.

[@tomrmal1]

Ridiculous! To be so smart and not empty itself.
