Two-in-One Robotic Vacuums

The Shark ION Robot Cleaning System Integrates a Handheld Component

— September 27, 2018 — Tech
The Shark ION Robot Cleaning System combines two essential household appliances into one easy-to-use system for tackling floors and hard-to-reach areas.

While the system's high-performance robot vacuum boasts the ability to automatically handle carpets and other floor surfaces, the Shark ION W1 Cordless Handheld Vacuum is useful for picking up pet fur and getting into the tight crevices that the self-cleaning robot can't access on its own. These two cleaning devices come together on the ION Charging Dock for recharging and storage.

The Shark ION Robot Cleaning System is said to provide three times more suction as compared to the brand's original robot, as well as other noteworthy features such as a self-cleaning brushroll, an extra-large dust bin, WiFi and voice-enabled features, as well as app connectivity.
