I admire Shark\u2019s<\/span> ambition. With its latest vacuum (most recently presented at IFA<\/a>), Shark attempts to solve two major problems. The first is that in many cases, simply lifting the mop pads over the floor often isn\u2019t enough to keep the yucky wet mop pad from dragging on your nice clean carpet. That\u2019s why the newest Shark robot vacuum has a mop plate that automatically detaches when you\u2019re vacuuming.<\/p>\n

The second, and more interesting problem, is that robot vacuums<\/a> tend to get stuck on little ledges or rugs in your house. That\u2019s why the Shark now has what I have been referring to as a \u201cbooty hitch,\u201d to hump itself over obstacles in its path. On its face, both of these improvements are very, very cool\u2014and<\/em> they work. \u201cIs that robot vacuum humping the floor?\u201d my husband asked, as it propelled itself into the living room from the kitchen. However, as if in recompense, the Shark is failing at some basic robot vacuum tasks. If you\u2019re interested in this vacuum, I would suggest waiting for the price to come down and for the company to iron out some basic bugs.<\/p>\n

Smell You Later<\/h2>\n

Setup is very simple. It\u2019s a good-looking robot vacuum, with a docking station that includes a clean water tank, a dirty water tank, a dustbin with a remarkable 0.33-liter capacity, and a refillable odor-neutralizer capsule that prevents the whole thing from stinking to high heaven. It\u2019s compact at less than 18 inches high and less than 15 inches wide, and very easy to set up. I downloaded the app and added the vacuum to it; Shark even provides a list of cute, punny names. (I picked \u201cSteve McClean.\u201d)<\/p>\n
