Review of the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum with Self-Empty Base

What Does The Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum Have To Offer?

The Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum is a unique robot vacuum. It may not look like a unique robot vacuum, but when you look at the features that this robot vacuum offers, you’ll realize just how unique, and effective, this robot vacuum is.

Unlike just about every other robot vacuum, you don’t need to empty the dustbin. When the dustbin is full, which prevents the device from vacuuming up anything else, the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum doesn’t just stop and wait for you to empty that dustbin. Instead, it goes over to a docking bay, which you’ll find in the package that houses this vacuum, and it lets out the contents of the dustbin into the bay.

Having access to this feature is fantastic because it makes things SO MUCH easier. There’s no need for you to spend time emptying the dustbin. Instead, you can just allow the robot vacuum to vacuum your home, and that’s it. It’s a completely hands-off process, and that’s the beautiful thing about it.

As for the capacity of this docking bay, if you vacuum every day, for thirty-days, then the docking bay would be full. It takes thirty-days for the bay to reach full capacity, which is quite a bit of time and speaks to the large capacity of the bay.

Of course, that’s not all the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum has to offer. That is one of the main features, and it epitomizes the focus on convenience and efficiency that Shark has given this particular robot vacuum, but there are a couple of other features that do the same thing.

To use the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum, you’re probably going to be relying on your smartphone. When you use your smartphone, you have access to conventional features, such as being able to turn on the vacuum, turn off the vacuum, and create a custom schedule that tells the vacuum when it should be on, and when it should be off. But, you also have access to a map, and on this map, you can choose the specific rooms and areas within your home, that you would like the robot vacuum to clean.

Being able to do that makes the entire vacuuming process so much easier, and so much more enjoyable. You have complete control over the specifics of the vacuuming process, and you’re able to guide and direct the vacuum cleaner, to exactly where you want it to go. You can choose what it cleans, where it cleans, and how it cleans.

Without good performance, though, this robot vacuum wouldn’t be worth that much. Fortunately, the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum is an incredibly powerful robot vacuum that has an excellent motor, and a fantastic brush roll.

Using the motor, which provides the suction, the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum can vacuum on just about any surface. It’s able to vacuum on hard floors, as well as soft floors. Even on a thick carpet or rug, which are often difficult to vacuum on, the Shark IQ R101AE Robot Vacuum has no problems!

What’s also really nice is that the brushroll is great at reaching into those surfaces, and removing the material that’s deep within there. And, it’s a self-cleaning brushroll, so it gets rid of the hair that laces itself around the brushroll.
