Battery life

If you're looking to invest in a dual-functioning robot cleaner, you're probably hoping it to offer stellar multitasking capabilities. The Shark AI Ultra lives up its word on. It's incredibly effective in cleaning up pet hair and its mowing capabilities are quite good. Its careful application of water and cleaning solution lifted small stains and moderate staining off my bathroom and kitchen flooring and left them feeling clean and soft.

The battery's life span is its main disadvantage. Vacuuming and mopping use a lot of power, and drain the Shark's battery quickly. After a 40-minute cleaning and mopping session, the robot's battery was depleted by 50 percent. This isn't bad but it's not ideal also. If you're planning to rely on this vacuum cleaner to clean your whole home, or if you have plenty of furniture and other obstacles that could hinder the robot's cleaning, you'll need think ahead and have a spare charger in the vicinity.
