Shark AV2501S can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all floor types, this means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean several flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, giving best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a digital 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.
This can be used for different situations, e.g. the Shark AV2501S having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring 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 and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark AV2501S are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra 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, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. The Shark AV2501S has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, having only 4
has more modes than the Shark AV2501S by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning floors.
The Shark AV2501S has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 1 year

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 washed to keep up the vacuum's performance. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. Shark AV2501S's dustbin capacity is at 0.8L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the Shark AV2501S by only 0.45L
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. Shark AV2501S has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful 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 allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin 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.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra 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 reduces the need for constant monitoring.
