can a robot really help you clean your
0:01
house let's find out Dave Taylor here
0:11
and I'd like you to meet Rosie Rosie is
0:13
my shark ion robot vacuum cleaner so
0:17
technical is model our v85 1wv but we
0:22
call her Rosie her/him we call it Rosie
0:26
and it is 6.6 pounds and it has 8 12 and
0:32
1/2 inches across so it's about the size
0:34
of a good-sized frisbee and the cleaning
0:36
path you can see here on the roller the
0:39
cleaning path basically between the
0:41
wheels and it's about 6 inches so it is
0:44
Wi-Fi enabled you can control it from
0:47
your smart phone which gives you access
0:50
to obviously remote controls you can
0:52
schedule things I had this thing go on
0:54
at 7 a.m. and Rosie started cleaning the
0:57
downstairs and I was still laying in bed
0:59
that is how you should be doing your
1:01
chores also has a history so you can see
1:03
did it work is it actually working now
1:06
it does come with some interesting
1:07
things but first let's just watch this
1:09
thing in action as you can see it just
1:12
sort of does the same thing that all
1:13
these robot vacuums do which is wander
1:15
around fairly randomly I suppose
1:18
eventually it covers every square inch
1:20
but that might take two vacuums
1:23
doesn't really matter because it's just
1:25
picking up as much as it can right now
1:27
one of the interesting things about it
1:29
is that the device comes with it they
1:32
call bot boundary strips and it's this
1:35
heavy metal
1:36
I don't know sort of rubber with maybe I
1:39
think wire inside of it or something I'm
1:41
exactly sure how this works but
1:43
basically you cut this to length and
1:45
then you put this across any boundary
1:47
that you don't want it to cross here's
1:49
an example of me just putting it in the
1:51
middle of the floor and you can see
1:52
Rosie does not cross that line now where
1:56
I'm actually using it is that strip is
1:58
blocking off the bathroom that we have
2:00
the cat litter in because we really
2:03
don't want Rosie dealing with that
2:04
that's a pretty hard thing to clean so
2:06
we'll just do that manually you can it
2:09
comes the package comes with some of
2:11
this
2:12
and you can pick up another eight feet
2:14
for 20 bucks through shark or it looks
2:17
like there's third-party solutions that
2:19
offer the same feature set and those you
2:21
can get for about twice the length for
2:23
the same price so probably you don't
2:26
need a lot of this I wouldn't be using
2:27
this to block off huge regions of your
2:30
house but you know it is definitely
2:32
handy to be able to say don't go in the
2:34
laundry room don't go in this room
2:36
stay out of my teenage daughter's room
2:38
because you will pick up everything and
2:40
it will be a disaster now it does have
2:43
things like a stair sensor so it's not
2:45
going to just go dooku and crash down
2:48
the stairs that would be bad right so
2:51
one of the things that makes it really
2:53
cool is it comes with this attachment
2:54
too so it has this additional W one
2:58
handheld vacuum and it's pretty strong
3:02
this is great for picking you know like
3:03
cleaning stairs and stuff and so I was
3:05
trying to think of how can I show you
3:06
how strong it is and I decided I just
3:08
got this new game to review so let's see
3:11
if this can pick up an actual game and
3:15
it can that is pretty cool
3:18
now it has a sensor so it says
3:21
something's blocking my intake so I'm
3:23
gonna turn off that's not a bad thing
3:25
but as you can see it just lives here on
3:28
the charging stand and you take this
3:30
Rosie off you can see here's the
3:32
charging stand pretty basic stuff and
3:35
then this is our bot and let's see this
3:40
comes with accessories one two three
3:43
accessories and I already showed you the
3:45
bot boundary stuff so let's look at the
3:48
actual robot itself now on the front
3:51
there are three very simple buttons and
3:53
there's a charge indicator super
3:56
important there's the power switch on
3:57
the side if you don't turn it on it will
3:59
do nothing and the remote will not work
4:03
and then if we flip it on its back this
4:06
is sort of like the turtle it's like
4:08
that scene in Blade Runner right where
4:09
what would you do if there was a
4:10
tortoise on its back baking in the Sun
4:12
but I'm gonna assume you're not a
4:15
replicant so we'll just keep going so it
4:17
has these two little tiny brushes and
4:19
that comes with the replacement brushes
4:21
too and those sort of bring the dirt
4:23
into its little radius so it can pick it
4:26
up and then the key thing is it has this
4:29
sort of roller here and I gotta say
4:32
props to them for their design because
4:34
on our regular vacuum this thing is like
4:36
instantly caught up in hair and strings
4:39
and stuff we have a lot of hair in this
4:41
house because we have a lot of pets but
4:43
this seems to be entirely clear which
4:46
leads to the question alright so it's
4:49
been cleaning my house for a couple of
4:50
days has Rosie actually accomplished
4:52
anything so let's find out this is
4:55
perhaps the biggest and most important
4:57
test and as you can see it's super easy
5:00
to pull out the dirt container and
5:03
here's just some yeah some of the lumps
5:08
of dirt this is pretty terrifying
5:11
actually I will definitely have to use
5:13
my vacuum probably this guy to clean
5:15
that up so there's a closed loop here it
5:19
also has a filter and the filter
5:22
unfortunately you can't wash but I think
5:25
you can probably use an you know clean
5:27
it aggressively
5:28
anyway boy I made a mess here I guess
5:33
that's good cuz it's supposed to be
5:34
picking up all this sort of junk right
5:35
so let's see let me show you real quick
5:39
the app actually I guess I ready to show
5:40
you that so we don't have to worry about
5:41
that so we have the attachment we have
5:44
the shark itself let me just tell you my
5:46
experience is that it works really well
5:48
it gets stuck occasionally but when it
5:52
gets stuck you get this little pop-up
5:53
notification on your phone and you can
5:55
say oh I better go deal with it it
5:58
actually beeps this is little help beep
5:59
I'm stuck help me it would be actually
6:02
super funny to have a voice although a
6:04
little creepy if you have a 3:00 a.m.
6:06
schedule for it to vacuum and you know
6:10
you hope that over time it actually
6:12
learns your environment I don't think it
6:14
actually does that I think it's just
6:16
chugging along every single day now the
6:18
plus sign of that is that you can pick
6:20
it up and put it in two different floors
6:21
or different areas of your house I am
6:23
definitely planning on having Rosie help
6:25
clean under my bed in my bedroom that is
6:28
a huge dust trap and it's obviously
6:30
really hard to get to unless you happen
6:32
to be 5 inches tall in which case it's
6:35
perfect so our shark ion robot has a big
6:39
job ahead of it and it's also worth
6:41
noting that because you have the app and
6:43
because you have all this connectivity
6:45
you can actually pair this with your
6:47
Google home or your Amazon Alexa and
6:50
that means you can actually say things
6:52
like sharks start vacuuming and things
6:54
like that I haven't done that I don't
6:56
really know why I would do that when I
6:58
can just has set up a schedule which
7:00
seems a whole lot more reasonable but if
7:02
that's something you really enjoy this
7:04
is through your particular device a
7:07
voice-activated robot - so pretty nice
7:10
little bit Jetsons yes Rosie the robot
7:13
Jetsons ok so it took you this long to
7:16
figure that out Wow jeez ok so the only
7:20
thing let's talk about is the price but
7:21
before we get to the price can I ask if
7:23
you can subscribe to my channel really
7:26
appreciate that and give me some
7:28
feedback do you have one of these or one
7:29
of its competitors and how does it work
7:31
for you I have friends that really don't
7:34
find they work very well because they
7:35
get caught up and all the wires they
7:37
have they might be slightly messy and
7:39
other people that swear by them and say
7:41
that these are the
7:42
device that keeps their house clean
7:44
because they don't have to think about
7:45
it they don't have to consciously say
7:47
hey it's time to vacuum so all that's a
7:50
real benefit
7:51
so this shark ion robot vacuum cleaner
7:55
is four hundred and forty nine dollars
7:59
including the handheld so this is the
8:02
whole setup this for forty nine or if
8:04
you just want this with a smaller
8:07
charging station then that will run you
8:09
three hundred and ninety-nine dollars
8:10
all of this you can check out at sharp
8:13
clean calm and as for me I think I
8:16
better finish emptying Rosie's belly of
8:19
all this dirt and get her him it back to
8:23
work so I'll catch you in my next video
