Welcome back to Reviews Inside TV, where we strip back the hype and get to the truth about the tech and tools that claim to make life easier. Today, we’re pulling open the dust bin—literally—and checking out the Shark Navigator Robot Vacuum, model AV2110S. A self-emptying robot that promises to tackle hair, dirt, and the chaos of everyday life on both carpets and hard floors… but does it actually deliver? Or is it just another flashy machine with a slick name and a short lifespan? Let’s find out.
The Shark Navigator AV2110S is a bagless, self-emptying robot vacuum equipped with Shark’s SmartPath Navigation and a self-cleaning brushroll. Designed with both carpet and hard floor users in mind, it boasts up to 50% more suction compared to competitor robot vacuums and up to 1.5 times more coverage than older Shark ION models. It maps your home using spot LiDAR, moves in a deliberate row-by-row pattern, and—yes—it empties itself after each clean into a dust bin that holds up to 30 days of debris. That bagless base is a huge selling point: no extra costs on disposal bags. And with the self-cleaning brushroll designed to resist hair wrap, it’s clearly targeting homes with pets or long-haired humans. It even dodges obstacles—ideal for cluttered spaces or when you just don’t feel like tidying up before running it. You can control it via voice commands or through the app, and if it runs low on juice mid-job, it’ll charge up and resume right where it left off. On paper, it checks a lot of boxes. But real-world use is where these promises get tested.
Setting up the Navigator was surprisingly painless. The base snaps into place quickly, the app walks you through Wi-Fi pairing with minimal friction, and after a quick map of the home, it was ready to go. I ran it across a two-bedroom setup with mixed surfaces—hardwood in the living spaces, low-pile carpet in the bedrooms, and a kitchen notorious for crumb warfare. It performed best in open spaces, methodically cleaning with a sense of purpose, not that random zig-zagging you get from entry-level bots. On carpet, the suction showed up: it pulled fine dust and pet hair that a standard upright had clearly missed. And the self-cleaning brushroll? That thing works. I checked after a week of daily runs—barely any tangled hair. However, the object avoidance was hit-or-miss. It dodged obvious obstacles like shoes or chair legs but occasionally bumped into pet toys or dark-colored furniture. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. Also, while it claims a 30-day dirt capacity, that’ll vary depending on how messy your home is. With a shedding dog and kids, I had to empty it around the 22-day mark.
Let’s talk strengths and shortcomings. The suction is legitimately powerful for its class, especially on carpets. The app is intuitive, with features like zone cleaning and scheduling that actually work. Voice command through Alexa was responsive, and the recharge-and-resume feature did its job without drama. The anti-hair wrap brushroll is a standout—it’s not just a gimmick. On the flip side, the object detection, while helpful, isn’t bulletproof. It doesn’t do well with very small or dark objects. And while the dustbin is bagless—which saves money—it’s a bit messier to clean than sealed bag systems. That’s subjective, though; some might prefer it for environmental or budget reasons.
If you’re wondering whether the AV2110S justifies its price tag, it sits comfortably in the mid-tier zone for self-emptying robot vacuums. You’re getting serious suction, a bagless self-empty dock, and some premium features like LiDAR navigation without going into premium pricing territory. Compared to models like the Roborock Q5+ or the Roomba i3+ EVO, Shark holds its own with stronger carpet performance and lower long-term costs thanks to its no-bag base. However, if you want the most advanced object avoidance, Roborock’s reactive AI sensors still outpace Shark’s solution. So you’re trading some precision for savings and raw power.

Back to it. One thing I noticed about the build is how solid it feels compared to many plastic-heavy robots in the same range. The body doesn’t flex under pressure, and the base is compact without feeling flimsy. The brushroll is easily accessible for cleaning, and the components snap into place with a tight, confident fit. While we don’t have long-term reliability data on this exact model yet, Shark has a solid track record in the home cleaning space. Their vacuums typically last well beyond their warranties, and nothing about the design here suggests otherwise. The brush motor feels robust, and there’s no odd creaking or rattling during runs—a good early indicator of build quality.
As for customer support, Shark’s service has earned mixed reviews over the years, but I didn’t run into any issues with this unit that required contacting them. That said, the brand generally has a solid reputation for honoring warranties and replacement parts are easy to find, which is more than you can say for some competitors.
So, what’s the bottom line? The Shark Navigator AV2110S is a capable, carpet-crushing, hair-fighting robot vacuum that gets most things right for the price. It doesn’t pretend to be a luxury model, but it hits a very sweet spot for users who want hands-off cleaning with powerful performance and minimal long-term cost. If you have a mix of hard floors and carpet, pets that shed, and want to skip the hassle of buying disposal bags, this model makes a strong case for itself. Just know that object detection isn’t perfect, and cleaning out the bagless bin can be slightly messier than sealed systems. But for what it sets out to do—and how consistently it does it—it’s a dependable choice for most households.
