Verdict

The Shark IQ Robot RV1000SEU is a bagless, 5 kg robot vacuum designed for hard floors and short-pile carpets, featuring a 36-watt suction nozzle, an onboard 0.66-liter dust bin, and a lithium-ion battery that provides up to a 90-minute runtime with a 6-hour charge time. Measuring 80 mm in height, 340 mm in width, and 320 mm in depth, its main characteristics include IQ Navigation for row-by-row mapping, cliff sensors, dual spinning side brushes, and full app or voice control integration via Wi-Fi. The primary pros of this model are its convenient self-emptying base station, effective pet hair removal, a self-cleaning brush roll that prevents hair wrap, and a bagless dock system that eliminates recurring bag costs. On the downside, the vacuum suffers from ineffective edge-cleaning due to its single-strand side brush design, struggles with deep-cleaning thick carpets, and relies on a buggy companion app that can experience mapping errors or slow map creation.
