Thanks for the video. Shark was on my short list due to the bagless collection bin. Ran my shark for the first time this morning and it ran the perimeter first with the clean edge. I will say I set it to run specific rooms not just the whole house.

I'm curious about your thoughts on the pattern of how the thing mops. So I'll probably have to wait for that part of a later video. I've seen another video of it mopping and thought it was interesting since it did it differently than all the other mopping robot vacuums.

Really enjoy watching your videos! Since this model has an Ultra feature (cleaning from multiple angles), will this feature solve the navigation/edge problem?

Hey Adam thanks for the review. Are you planning a final thoughts video on this? I’m planning on getting a robot this month but I’m between this and the new iRobot and just not sure which one I should go for

In the next video, I hope you discuss tweaking the map for rooms. My first cleaning showed that I had the walls slightly too far one way or the other, and had to adjust.

Well done video, going to watch the next one

Hi Adam I just received my new shark 2610 I believe shark must have watched ur video because it dose the outer edge and then the middle so I’m glad u do these videos last night while wait to fully charge my vacuum I watched ur video and was so disappointed after watching it but as of today when I used the vacuum it does the outside then the middle glad u brought this to there attention after my first use was quite impressive thanks again Steve

I just got the non-self empty version (personally dont feel it's worth the extra money for a 10 second job). Cant wait to try it because I was already impressed by the previous gen without the LIDAR. I do hope they improve on the perimeter cleaning, think this is a software update away from being A+

Just to follow up on my comment below: I ran mine the first time around last night. Mapping was pretty quick for my ~1000sq ft main floor. It didnt have to "outline" the walls and literally went in the middle and figured out where the walls are The odd thing was it did START with the PERIMETER with my initial cleaning. It went against the walls then it started cleaning in a pattern, but what confused me was that after doing the pattern it went on to do random routes Still, it cleaned very well. Im in the process of selling my home so it's always clean but this thing picked up more pet hair and dust I didnt know I still have. Think this is 1 software update away from being great. It's an excellent buy IMO.

It makes a lot more sense to run the border clean after the main cleaning because robot vacuums have a slight tendency of flicking debris along the wall especially the shark robots and even roombas do it sometimes.

For me, most vacs do fine on hard floors. My thing is dog hair on carpet. Any that actually gets the hair and not just push it deeper into the carpet?? Would love to see a test like that

Well I thought this robot has the “matrix” cleaning pattern with it did it not? Maybe check that feature out since the cleaning pattern was weird this time

I agree they are trying to improve.I got the older AI and this one does have improvement

Adam, I have a revolutionary idea 😑. Make an option in the app so people can choose perimeter cleaning first or last. But as far as the air perimeter feature, it seems to have some effect. If you had the time maybe get the best round vacuums and do a corner test to see if it does better. Preferably minus the spider webs lol.

I had this robot vacuum for a while, and I loved it!! However, after about a month cleaning hardwood floors and carpet it started to not pick up some debris as on the first runs. I noticed that a small rubber on the bottom of the robot, near to the brush roll was missing (maybe ripped off during carpet cleaning?). That is when cleaning performance was not so good as before. So, I am wondering how is the cleaning performance compared to first runs and if this rubber is still present on your robot?

any changes in how it works (Parameter first now maybe?) great video, thanks.

A quick software update to adjust the cleaning algorithm and this is one of the best robot vacuums.

Its spposed to run a vertical then horizontal pattern if so then edge cleaning should be between both. My guess this is as close to edge cleaning of a upright they can get. At lest someone is trying to bring it to robot vacumm. Looking forward to see how well it mops since it has sonic mopping pad.

Nice video. I would like to see the mopping in action and your thoughts on how it does. Thanks!

Howdy! When do you plan on releasing your final thoughts on this bot? Maybe even how it compares to the roborock s7 plus ultra or whatever it’s called, 😂? Thank you 😊

Most smart vacs are programmed to clean in the direction they are oriented when parked on the base. I do have one 360 S5 that vacuums 90 degrees to the parked orientation though. I've made several of my robot vacuums clean diagonally by placing the station at an angle. Not efficient but it is pretty amusing. I only noticed now that Shark went with LiDAR this time. I guess the fiasco with their last few VSLAM bots has caused a change in direction for the company. Too bad about that end result. I would like to see someone challenge Roomba in the non-lidar space for shorter bots. My experience with the S9 suggests that the 360 S10, with it's in-frame lidar emitters, won't be a good vacuum. Eufy is too expensive even if the gyro navigation is pretty good and the Roborock e-series is just as tall as thier lidar bots anyway.

Got my Model AV2610BFCA 4 months ago. Now it stopped working with lots of red lights on the operation panel+ a red exclamation mark. Can you tell me how to bring it back to life? thx Michael

Roomba Combo J7 here, but no self washing weak suction no vibrating mop and 1100 dollars

Is it quiet compared to their last AI model?

What about the mopping aspect?!

U guys like this one? I'd like a robot vac mop that self cleans whats best options

not bad, if you do an ultra clean it would go in both directions, maybe it would be a good idea for it to do an edge clean at the beginning and the end. I sure hope the app has been upgraded. I feel like shark is years behind other lidar vacuums

Where do you guys buy consumables dor this robot ?

I would like to see the border run done twice.. at the beginning and at the end..

Thanks Adam for this first impression on the new Shark AI Ultra 2-in-1. Looks like it failed the hardwood floor test. Also I'm very disappointed they got rid of the 2nd side brush! All the other models have it. :^( It's too expensive IMO too. I'll pass on this one.

Adam, are you still planning to release a full review video for this robot?

I'm interested to see the review of this Shark when you finish it. I'm hoping you'll address obstacle avoidance vs other vacuums. Your's is the only independent video I've seen of this vacuum, all the other channels either haven't covered it or are obviously being paid to promote it, no other honest opinions on it.

for the shark iq

I heard that there is a dust bin sensor now.

noice

does this unit have obstical avoidance

From the videos seen object identification & avoidance isn't available on this model like other top of the line models. It will run over cables & poop not go around them not very smart for shark to leave that out since that is a feature which is becoming more desirable among robot vacumms
