Dyson Humdinger vs Shark AI Ultra Robot

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

Before this, with the exception of the vac mop pro ai used v-slam, which means a top-mounted camera to navigate around - and this is the first one to ...

The humdinger uses radial roots cyclone technology, which means you won't have any loss of suction since it has eight cyclones that generate an incred...

If I move it to a shared hall to clean (I try to do several halls once per week), its battery dies WAY faster than the old models did, so I can't just pass by and move it to different spots between other chores like I did with the old one - if I have to stand guard over the vacuum, what is the point of not just sweeping it myself? If I do one area, this model is usually dead before I get it to a second one. I used to be able to do them all with the same time between moving with an old model.

If you're looking for a handheld vacuum that offers HEPA-level filtration, you could look at the Dyson Humdinger. This high-end handheld vacuum is effective at sealing fine particles as you clean, which is good if you suffer from allergies. It performs superbly on flat, even surfaces like tabletops or shelves and does a very good job clearing away debris on low- and high-pile rugs and carpets. It also has a somewhat long battery life compared to most other handheld vacuums, as you can expect a maximum runtime of almost 30 minutes in its most energy-efficient mode

- When cleaning the filter on the vac, there is a ledge/overlay that massively gets full of debris (in my case short dog hair). I don't understand the purpose of this overlay but the auto-clean isn't strong enough to clean it out and I need to do it manually.

It offers a maximum of roughly half an hour of continuous runtime on a single charge, which should be more than sufficient for most spot-cleaning tasks. You can increase its suction power for dealing with especially stubborn messes by using the 'MAX' suction switch, though running it in this power mode decreases its battery life to just roughly 10 minutes.

I have mixed feelings about this robot, who we named Hank (you are supposed to name him for the app). I find him to be quieter than a regular vacuum, and the suction in normal mode is very good. Our carpets and hardwood floors get very clean. However, he seems to suffer from some form of dementia

Installing an Aquasana shower water filter instantly (and dramatically) reduced this effect to the baseline.

But to pull this kind of crap gives all customer service reps a poor image. I hope this information will be helpful to others. BTW - I have 2 dogs and need to empty the main bin twice a week when running the vacuum 3-4x/wk. The filters need to be blown out with a compressor monthly - if you don't have a compressor you probably will not like this machine

I've gone through quite a variety of handheld vacs over the years for cleaning Golden Retriever hair from carpeted steps. They all sucked- until they didn't! Annoying cords, smelly filters, and impossible to change belts made we dread this chore! They were bulky and loud too! I LOVE how the head of the tool pivots so I don't have to do advanced yoga moves on the stairs in order to switch between the horizontal and vertical surfaces! Thank you, Dyson! While your products are expensive and the sticker shock has made me avoid your products in the past, I now understand that you really do get what you pay for! I'm a convert!!!

And that's it. I'm not trying to get this thing to launch into orbit. When I downloaded the app, it could not vacuum our house without first doing a "room mapping". Why?

I primarily used it as a handheld vac. The Humdinger does not have the same power, the crevice nozzle has an inferior design and it is difficult to empty. I have to use tweezers or a knife to remove debris. Quite disappointed

85 inches tall, it can clean where a lot of other robot vacuums won’t fit.

Now I just let it go where ever it decides to go but it doesn't seem to be any smarter when it comes to being logical with it's patterns. I still see it stopping a foot or two short of the wall and cutting rooms in half where it will do one half during one cycle, then move to another room before coming back to do the other half of the original room. Doesn't seem to bright to me when it comes to planning its work.

It's hard to imagine who would throw down $300 on a handheld vacuum when spending a dash more can buy you a far more versatile Dyson. We trust that the Humdinger is probably the strongest handheld on the market, but unless you're looking to misplace a few Benjamins, you should really just buy a stick vacuum.Price: $300SHOP NOW

Love that my wife and I can each have the app on our phones. at $450 (500 with 3 year service plan) I got a great deal on this Shark bot during the Black Friday sale, which is why I give it 5-star for value. With three indoor cats, the hair and sand demands are great on this little trooper, and so far it is meeting them pretty well. Sand pick-up is great but not perfect, especially at the edges of throw-rug and up against walls, but it is pretty good, and generally good enough for me
