Shark AV2501S can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without much limitations.
Airrobo P20 can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be versatile, giving best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. The vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Shark AV2501S having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Airrobo P20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Airrobo P20 has this 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.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark AV2501S are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The Airrobo P20 can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Shark AV2501S is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.
The Airrobo P20 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. Shark AV2501S has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners can vary depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. The Airrobo P20, having only 4
has more modes than the Shark AV2501S by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces.
Shark AV2501S has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties. Airrobo P20, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark AV2501S. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
The Shark AV2501S 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 maintain the vacuum's performance. Airrobo P20 comes with washable filters, the advantage of 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 for the environment. Shark AV2501S's dustbin capacity is at 0.8L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
The Airrobo P20, at 0.6L
carries less dirt than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. The Shark AV2501S has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
Shark AV2501S can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. Shark AV2501S supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Airrobo P20 also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The Shark AV2501S weighs 3.1kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Airrobo P20, at 3.8kg
weighs more than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of 0.7kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark AV2501S has a width of 348mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively 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 Airrobo P20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the Shark AV2501S by 28mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Shark AV2501S's height measures 104mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Airrobo P20, at 78mm
measures less in height than the Shark AV2501S by 26mm.
When selecting 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. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark AV2501S's battery power is 2,500mAh
The Airrobo P20, at mAh2,800
has more battery power than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of
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 operations with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Shark AV2501S's operating time is 1.5h
The Airrobo P20, at 2h
lasts more than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Shark AV2501S has a charge time of 4h, 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 Airrobo P20, at 6h
charges for longer than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of 2h. 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. An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves many key purposes, making it a valuable safety feature.
It helps protect the Shark AV2501S from damage by detecting when key components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that could cause harm.
