has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba 770. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba 770's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 770 by 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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 770 adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning 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 maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. The iRobot Roomba 770 weighs 3.8kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba 770 by 0.7kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 770 has a width of 353mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 770 by 5mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 770's height measures 91mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
The Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 13mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 770 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba 770's operating time is 2h
The Shark AV2501S, at 1.5h
spends less time than the iRobot Roomba 770 by only 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 770 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 770 by 1h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since 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 770 has a power consumption of 30W, power is measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
iRobot Roomba 770 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the Shark AV2501S or iRobot Roomba 770 If you prefer the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your space. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum becoming trapped during cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 770 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the Shark AV2501S and iRobot Roomba 770 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning.
Both iRobot Roomba 770 and Shark AV2501S support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. Auto-docking is a feature that indicates the vacuum's ability to return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as done with cleaning, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both Shark AV2501S and iRobot Roomba 770 support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it makes sure that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention.
Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 770 come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is designed to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, hence its safety during operation. This safety feature that is also available on the Shark AV2501S is essential in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 770 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start working. This feature in robot vacuums is particularly useful in keeping a consistently clean space without the need for manual intervention.
