Shark AV2501S can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space 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 several purposes, e.g. the Shark AV2501S having the mapping feature can provide 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 involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space.
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. Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra has an obstacle 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 preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Most 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 controlled using voice commands.

The Shark AV2501S is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. Shark AV2501S has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, 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 different cleaning floors.
Shark AV2501S has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark AV2501S. When thinking of buying 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.
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. Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. The Shark AV2501S's dustbin capacity is at 0.8L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of only 0.45L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Shark AV2501S has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum 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 adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Shark AV2501S supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus 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 minimizes the need for constant monitoring. Shark AV2501S weighs 3.1kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 4.9kg
weighs more than the Shark AV2501S by 1.8kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark AV2501S has a width of 348mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 353mm
measures more in width than the Shark AV2501S by 5mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
Shark AV2501S's height measures 104mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 96.5mm
measures less in height than the Shark AV2501S by 7.5mm.
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 a crucial factor that 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
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Shark AV2501S by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less 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
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 3h
lasts more than the Shark AV2501S with a difference of 1.5h
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 Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 4h
has the same charge time as the Shark AV2501S. 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. An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves many important purposes, making it a very important safety feature.
It helps protect the Shark AV2501S from damage by sensing when critical components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that could cause harm.
