The most common place to find your Shark robot vacuum is at its charging dock. When the vacuum is not in use, it will automatically return to its dock to recharge. If you can’t find your vacuum, start by checking the charging dock. If the vacuum is not there, move on to the next step.

If your Shark robot vacuum is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity, you can use the Shark app to locate it. Open the app on your smartphone or tablet and select the “Find My Robot” feature. The app will use Bluetooth technology to locate your vacuum and display its location on a map.

If your Shark robot vacuum is still running, you may be able to hear it. Listen for the sound of the vacuum cleaner as it moves around your home. If you can hear the vacuum, follow the sound to find it.
4. Check Under Furniture
Shark robot vacuums are designed to clean under furniture, so it’s possible that your vacuum may have gotten stuck under a piece of furniture. Check under beds, sofas, and other large pieces of furniture to see if your vacuum is hiding there.
5. Look in Closets and Cabinets
Another place to check for your Shark robot vacuum is in closets and cabinets. The vacuum may have accidentally wandered into a closet or cabinet and gotten stuck. Open all the closets and cabinets in your home and check inside to see if your vacuum is there.
6. Check Behind Curtains
Shark robot vacuums can sometimes get tangled in curtains or drapes. Check behind curtains and drapes to see if your vacuum is stuck there.
7. Use a Flashlight
If you still can’t find your Shark robot vacuum, try using a flashlight to look for it. Shine the flashlight under furniture, in closets and cabinets, and behind curtains. The flashlight may help you spot your vacuum even if it’s in a dark corner.
