Effective, and set it and forget it!

This is not my first Shark Robot Vacuum, and probably won't be my last, because they work well, rarely get hung up, and are easy to schedule, so cleaning up isn't a hassle. And the Navigator Robot Vacuum lives up to all my expectations. The vacuum comes well packaged and safe, double boxed and i...n perfect condition, film covering sensitive areas to make sure nothing is scuffed or damaged. The directions for getting it up and running are large and clear, and it is mostly intuitive. I experienced the most hassle when connecting to the app (which o already had), but I think it was a problem with my wifi. Other than that, you pretty much just plug in the base, connect the spinning edge cleaner (mine came with 2, a backup, which is fantastic), place the vacuum on the base. It immediately began to charge, so I gave it a bit before setting it on its way. Functionally, I really like this base better than my older model. The robot self empties, of course, and you will have to occasionally dump it out. Because the base has a sleek, smooth front, to empty it, there is a large, easy to push button on the back right. It's simple to find with your fingers (as you won't be able to see it easily), and after pressing, the right side disconnects so you can take it to the trash. I really like this feature. Another feature I like is that the base has a way to wind up the cord inset into the back, so you no longer have to worry about excess cord, which is perfect for me as my Robot sits almost directly under an outlet. Most importantly though, how well does it work? Outstandingly! I have it on a tile floor, and a thin carpet, and it handles both like a champ. It keeps my dust and dirt under control, and I don't have to fret over it. True to its name, it navigates the space well, even when encountering unexpected cords and furniture. My Shark is in my photo studio, and I'm constantly moving and replacing equipment, tables and chairs. Seldom do I find that my Robot has lost its way. The app is fairly intuitive to use, and you can schedule your Robot to do its job on a consistent basis, then forget it (until it's time to dump the waste). I use it weekly, as my space isn't constantly used, but I do have sandstone walls the weep dust consistently. I am a very happy Shark user for years, and the Navigator Robot Vacuum is worthy of the name. I have a lot of Sharp products, from vacuums to kitchen and bathroom gear, and all have lived up to my high standards. I will and have recommended them, and will continue to do so.
