(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What customers like about Shark RV2500SEU

  • The self-emptying dock stores dust for about a month.
  • The anti-hair-wrap roller makes it excellent for homes with pets.
  • Matrix Grid navigation makes multiple passes without leaving areas uncleaned.
  • Strong suction works across carpets and hard floors.
  • The SharkClean app is easy to control and supports Alexa and Google Assistant.

What customers don't like about Shark RV2500SEU

  • Battery life can be tight for very large spaces or prolonged cleaning.
  • It sometimes repeats similar areas, extending each cycle.
  • Small floor obstacles such as cables can be difficult to avoid.

Verdict

The Shark RV2500SEU is a bagless robot vacuum featuring AI 360° LiDAR laser navigation, an 1800 mAh Lithium-Ion battery providing up to 120 minutes of runtime, and a 36-watt motor with a total capacity of 0.9 liters. Its main characteristics and advantages include an automatic bagless self-emptying base station with an anti-allergen HEPA seal, an anti-hair wrap brush roll, and smart functionality allowing room selection, scheduling, and voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant through the SharkClean app. However, users and reviewers note that the companion mobile app can be buggy with limited tracking, the unit produces noticeable noise when emptying at the base, it lacks a wet mopping feature, and the physical obstacle avoidance struggles with shorter objects, sometimes requiring the placement of virtual no-go zones.
