Shark ION Robot 750 — Budget Vacuum with Remote Control, Alexa, and App Support
The Shark ION Robot 750 review deals with a low-cost Wi-Fi capable device designed for removing dry dirt and fur. It is fitted with rotating and rolling brushes to handle the most polluted areas.
Dimensions
The product is compact (12.6 x 12.6 x 2.6 inches) being able to slide under low-profile interior items. Its weight is low enough (5.51 lbs), so even a child can carry it effortlessly. The Shark ION Robot 750 is fitted with a small dust collector of 380 ml.
Features
The Shark ION 750 is not very powerful and capable of random navigation, relying on its two side bristle brushes to eliminate dirt on any hard surfaces and a brush roller for carpets that sweep the debris into the dust collector. The unit is good at picking up the tiniest granular objects, crumbs, and powder-like substances.
The users can manage the Shark ION Robot 750 by manual touch, voice Alexa command, or via a phone app. When the battery is drained, the unit comes back to the dock station. It’s possible to program it for scheduled cleaning or whenever it charges.
The ION robot 750 comes with the magnetic barrier that stops the machine from moving to the unwanted areas and its edge brush from being caught on a cord. Besides, the vacuum sends the text alert to the app or the direct audio alert when it gets stuck and notifies the user when the collector is full. This model also has sensors to recognize stairs and to escape falling off them.
The device goes from one type of surface to another hassle-free, and it easily copes with baseboards. If it cannot stop before getting to the baseboard, it slows down, bounces gently, and goes in another direction. The Spot mode makes the robot run in circles and work on a specific area before going back into a normal cleaning mode.
The unit works quietly, making it possible to use it even at night without disturbing anyone. It’s possible to use it on one floor at a time and manually pick it up and put it on each floor upstairs or downstairs. This product does not track where it has been, so it won’t pick up where it has left off. The ION 750 runs only 70 minutes on a single charge and takes about 3 hours to be fully powered.
Design
The round-shaped Shark ION robot 750 has two small rotating bristle brushes and an 11-inch roller brush on the bottom. The latter has a self-cleaning feature to avoid clogging. The rubber wheels of the vac won’t scratch the luxury flooring.
The switch-on button is on the side round panel of the unit. The Spot button and three blue indicators to display the charge level are on the faceplate. The Clean and Dock buttons make the device initiate and finish cleaning, respectively.
It is designed with a HEPA filter that makes this model safe for allergy and asthma sufferers.
Conclusion
The Shark ION robot 750 vacuum ensures tremendous value for the money given its smart features. The device might become a wise solution for pet owners due to its self-grooming brush roll that can completely remove animal hair. However, one should be ready to empty the bin often because of its small size.
