Got this mainly to use for the carpet in our basement. I do like the sleek look of the Shark Robot. Comes with wifi capability which is nice since you don't have to leave the couch to start cleaning. It's not too loud. Comparable to all the robot cleaners out there. It feels and looks nice and sturdy. The quality of build is there and easy to assemble and clean. We have two cats so a cleaning often is needed. This didn't pick up all the cat hair from the carpet, which isn't a thick carpet. It did a light cleaning, which is better than nothing. This I feel would work better on a hard floor. I was really hoping it would pick it up better than it did. The other thing is to definitely listen to the recommendation of clearing the space you want to clean. This robot will bump into anything in it's way. I wish it slowed down when coming close to an object.
