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. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate 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 carrying around. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ with a difference of 1.9kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark EZ has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively 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 room
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 337mm
measures less in width than the Shark EZ by 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 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 iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 92mm
measures more in height than the Shark EZ by 3mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit 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. It is 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 would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent 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 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 with a difference of only 1.3h.
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. 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 often 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 important purposes, making it a very important safety feature. It helps protect the Shark EZ from damage by detecting when critical components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that could cause harm. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur.
Shark EZ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo has 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 robot vacuum cleaners like the Shark EZ, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo is self-emptying, it's important to note that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature.
