Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Shark RV2001EU

  • Excellent suction and pet-hair removal.
  • The self-cleaning brush effectively prevents hair tangles.
  • AI-based intelligent navigation maps the home accurately.
  • No-go zones and targeted room cleaning are easy to configure.
  • Supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home voice assistants.

What customers don't like about Shark RV2001EU

  • App features can feel below expectations or less intuitive than competitors.
  • Battery life is unexceptional in high-power mode.
  • The small dirt bin requires frequent emptying.
  • It may struggle with large, heavy debris such as cereal on hard floors.

Verdict

The Shark RV2001EU is a smart robot vacuum operating at 35.3 watts of power, designed for automated maintenance cleaning across hard floors and carpets. Equipped with AI Laser Vision and Shark IQ Navigation for row-by-row mapping, it features a 0.31-liter dust capacity, smart home integration with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, and a lithium-ion battery delivering up to 90 minutes of runtime. Key advantages include its low-profile 8 cm height for clearance under furniture, continuous floor engagement via PowerFins, and an efficient anti-hair wrap brush roll that self-cleans during operation. However, notable drawbacks include its lack of a self-emptying station, absence of a built-in mopping feature, and documented struggles with fine debris pickup on low-pile carpets alongside occasional navigation lag when returning to its charging dock.
