Shark EZ cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. Shark EZ has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba i4 Evo 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 and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Shark EZ has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies depending on the design of the robot vacuum. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, having only 3
has the same number of cleaning modes as the Shark EZ
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning challenges. The Shark EZ has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods.
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark EZ. 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 EZ 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 maintain the vacuum's performance.
The Shark EZ's dustbin capacity is at 0.2L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
has more capacity than the Shark EZ with a difference of 0.2L
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. The Shark EZ has twin side brushes, these brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. Shark EZ supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo 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 EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ with a difference of 1.9kg. 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, 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 time it takes to clean a space
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 337mm
measures less in width than the Shark EZ with a difference of 3mm. 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 to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 92mm
measures more in height than the Shark EZ by 3mm. When choosing 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 run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Shark EZ by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Shark EZ refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
Shark EZ's operating time is 2.4h
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Shark EZ by only 1.15h
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. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Shark EZ by only 1.3h.
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. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to 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 measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves many key purposes, making it a very important safety feature. It helps protect the Shark EZ from damage by sensing when critical components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that are dangerous. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur.
Shark EZ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the Shark EZ, are modern robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo is self-emptying, have it in mind that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature. This feature enables you to instruct a robot vacuum to focus on cleaning a particular area in your space, the Shark EZ supports this, which can be really useful for dealing with localized messes or high-traffic areas.
