The SharkClean mobile application enables remote control and customization of Shark robot vacuums. Users can schedule cleanings, create home maps, and receive cleaning reports, though some mapping limitations exist.

Detailed Review

The SharkClean application serves as the central control interface for SharkNinja's ecosystem of robot vacuums, providing users with remote management capabilities and detailed cleaning customization. This Android application positions itself as a comprehensive smart home solution for vacuum maintenance, competing in the crowded IoT device management market with specific focus on home cleaning automation. The application's core functionality revolves around three primary areas: scheduling, mapping, and reporting. Users can program cleaning sessions through an intuitive calendar interface, create detailed home maps through the vacuum's initial learning run, and designate specific rooms or zones for targeted cleaning. The mapping system allows for custom no-go zones to prevent the vacuum from entering problematic areas, while cleaning reports provide detailed metrics on coverage area and duration. These features collectively enable precise control over cleaning routines without physical interaction with the device. User experience demonstrates generally responsive performance with some interface quirks. The mapping interface, while functional, presents challenges in room customization and zone sizing according to multiple user reports. Navigation through the application follows standard smart home app patterns, with dashboard access to all major functions. Real-world usage patterns show most users engaging with scheduling features daily while modifying maps weekly or as home layouts change. The application maintains consistent connectivity with supported Shark devices, though setup requires initial physical proximity for pairing. User feedback reveals consistent praise for mapping accuracy and scheduling reliability, balanced by frustrations with customization limitations. Todd Miller's June 24, 2025 review notes the map 'could be easier to use and it always defaults to a certain room,' while Jonathan Sankey's July 10, 2025 review praises the self-setup capability but wishes for 'smaller No-Go zones.' Gaige Crabtree's June 22, 2025 review specifically mentions inability to separate adjacent rooms due to size constraints. Daniel Mendiola's June 29, 2025 review requests expanded smart home integration beyond Google Home to include platforms like Samsung SmartThings. The application demonstrates strongest performance in basic scheduling and automated cleaning operations, making it suitable for users seeking hands-off maintenance of Shark robot vacuums. Limitations in mapping customization and smart home integration may frustrate users with complex floor plans or multi-platform smart home ecosystems. The 3.3 rating reflects this balance between reliable core functionality and desired advanced features, positioning SharkClean as a competent but not exceptional entry in the robot vacuum control market.

Nice app, keeps my three Shark mop-vacs cleaning my house multiple times a day. They had just fixed the app to correct not being able to set parameters. Worked great a few days then they changed the app a day ago and all parameters are no longer accessible. No way to changed water flow whatsoever. Really because they had just got it to where you could change both water and power before sending my units out. Really disappointed with this. Lost a lot of functionality and pretty useless now. 😡

I wish I would have bought this year's ago. I set it up on a schedule and now I can go about doing other chores while it vacuums and mops.

Looking at these ratings, I think I've been quite lucky. I've had a good experience with my shark and the app thus far. No bugs, all rooms labeled well, and I send the thing cleaning every morning and get up to a dog-hair free floor. I'm pretty happy! Only thing is I've thrown the robot off with a particularly small half bathroom - the app doesn't accommodate for such small sizes. But that's a pretty small nit pick, convenience considered.

I love my shark clean. I have animals and all wood floors. Her help around the house, she saves a lot of time with the sweeping and cuts a lot of dusting out.

This app does everything I want it to do. I use some features a lot such as "no go zones". Others, not so much. But my floors never looked better.
