iRobot Roomba 621 cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, it means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, providing effective cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba 621 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba 621 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. iRobot Roomba 621 has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies widely depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum.

The iRobot Roomba 621's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
The iRobot Roomba 621 adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Shark AV2501S with sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles.
The iRobot Roomba 621 weighs 4.3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 1.2kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 621 has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 8mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 621's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 12mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba 621 by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 621 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba 621's operating time is 1.5h
The Shark AV2501S, at 1.5h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 621
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 621 has a charge time of 3h, 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 AV2501S, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 1h.
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. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. iRobot Roomba 621 has a power consumption of 33W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves several important purposes, making it a valuable safety feature. It helps protect the iRobot Roomba 621 from damage by sensing when critical components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that are dangerous. Shark AV2501S also has an overheating indicator, the indicator helps reduce this risk by preventing the robot vacuum from working under unsafe conditions.
