What is it?
The Shark ION RV750 is a budget Wi-Fi connected robot vacuum in Shark's ION series. It targets price-sensitive buyers who want basic automation with app control and voice assistant compatibility, without the cost of mapping or self-emptying.
Who is it for?
Small apartment or single-floor home owners wanting a low-cost daily cleaning robot with app scheduling and Alexa voice control. Users who do not need systematic mapping or self-emptying, and are comfortable emptying the dustbin manually after each run.
Key specs
- Navigation: Reactive (no mapping) — bounce-and-navigate pattern
- Brushroll: Dual brushroll with two side brushes
- Battery: ~60 minutes runtime
- Dustbin: 0.54L
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, Alexa, Google Assistant
- Price: $199
How it compares
The RV750 is directly comparable to the iRobot Roomba 694 at $179 and the Eufy RoboVac 25C at a similar price. All three use reactive navigation with no mapping. The RV750 has a larger 0.54L dustbin than the Roomba 694's 0.3L — a practical advantage for infrequent emptying. The Eufy 11S is slimmer at 2.85 inches vs Shark's profile but lacks Wi-Fi.
Limitations
- No mapping — random navigation may miss areas
- 60-minute runtime is the shortest in class for Wi-Fi models
- No self-emptying
- Not HEPA filtered
- Now outdated relative to newer Shark models at similar street prices
FAQ
How long does the Shark ION RV750 run on a charge?
Approximately 60 minutes on a full charge. This is shorter than most competitors at this price point — suitable for homes up to approximately 80-100 square metres per session.
Does the Shark RV750 work with Alexa?
Yes. The RV750 connects via the SharkClean skill for Alexa, allowing voice commands to start, stop, pause, and dock the robot.
Is the Shark ION RV750 still worth buying?
At its current street price (often $150-$199), the RV750 offers solid Shark build quality and ecosystem integration for budget buyers. However, newer models like the Shark IQ AV970 offer self-emptying and mapping at not-much-higher prices, making the RV750 best suited to buyers with strict budgets.
Does the RV750 return to its dock automatically?
Yes. When the battery runs low or cleaning is complete, the RV750 automatically returns to its charging dock.
Can the Shark RV750 clean multiple rooms?
The RV750 has no room mapping — it navigates reactively and will clean across rooms if doors are open, but you cannot schedule or direct it to specific rooms.
