The vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Narwal Freo having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves 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 spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Narwal Freo has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Narwal Freo are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The Shark AV2501S can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with Shark AV2501S.
The Narwal Freo is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. Shark AV2501S is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. Narwal Freo has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum.
Shark AV2501S, having only 3
has the same number of cleaning modes as the Narwal Freo
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning floors. Narwal Freo has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. The Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Narwal Freo.
When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Narwal Freo has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to keep up the vacuum's performance. Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally.
The Narwal Freo's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Narwal Freo 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. The Narwal Freo has twin side brushes, these brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges.
Instead of a single side brush, which is commonly found on many robot vacuums, twin side brushes have two side brushes one on each side of the robot vacuum. They extend the Shark AV2501S's reach, allowing it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these often-neglected areas. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied.
Narwal Freo supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Shark AV2501S also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. Narwal Freo weighs 4.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
is lighter than the Narwal Freo by 1.3kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Narwal Freo has a width of 350mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures less in width than the Narwal Freo by 2mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Narwal Freo's height measures 106mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures less in height than the Narwal Freo by 2mm. 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.

The Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has less battery power than the Narwal Freo with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Narwal Freo's operating time is 3.3h
The Shark AV2501S, at 1.5h
spends less time than the Narwal Freo with a difference of only 1.8h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Narwal Freo 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 Narwal Freo 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.
