has more capacity than the Shark EZ by 0.2L
The dustbin capacity varies 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.
The Shark EZ has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum 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 Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni'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 notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Shark EZ supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring.
Shark EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ with a difference of 1.6kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark EZ has a width of 340mm, aslo known 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 important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 362mm
measures more in width than the Shark EZ by 22mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Shark EZ's height measures 89mm, 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 obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 103.5mm
measures more in height than the Shark EZ by 14.5mm. 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Shark EZ with a difference of
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 cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Shark EZ's operating time is 2.4h
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.3h
lasts more than the Shark EZ by 1.9h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Shark EZ has a charge time of 3.3h, 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. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 6.5h
charges for longer than the Shark EZ by 3.2h.
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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Shark EZ has a power consumption of 36W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 45W
consumes more power than the Shark EZ with a difference of 9W. Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
