When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Roborock S5 Max 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 RV912S comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. Roborock S5 Max's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. The Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 0.1L
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.
Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Roborock S5 Max supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The Roborock S5 Max weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability.
The Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 2.2kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock S5 Max has a width of 351mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S5 Max by 21mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock S5 Max's height measures 97mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
The Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S5 Max by 14mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S5 Max's battery power is 5,200mAh
The operating time of the Roborock S5 Max refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
Shark RV912S, at 2h
spends less time than the Roborock S5 Max by only 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roborock S5 Max has a charge time of 5h, 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.
The Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Roborock S5 Max 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
