measures less in width than the Eufy RoboVac X8 by 5mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Eufy RoboVac X8's height measures 97.2mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. Shark EZ, at 89mm
measures less in height than the Eufy RoboVac X8 by 8.2mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage.
The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Eufy RoboVac X8's battery power is 5,200mAh
The Shark EZ, at mAh2,450
has less battery power than the Eufy RoboVac X8 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Eufy RoboVac X8 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Eufy RoboVac X8's operating time is 3h
The Shark EZ, at 2.4h
spends less time than the Eufy RoboVac X8 with a difference of only 0.6h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Eufy RoboVac X8 has a charge time of 6h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. Shark EZ, at 3.3h
spends lesser time charging than the Eufy RoboVac X8 by only 2.7h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
