Shark EZ cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. Shark EZ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
The Shark EZ has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. Shark AV2501S, having only 3
has the same number of cleaning modes as the Shark EZ
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning floors. The Shark EZ has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods.
Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark EZ. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. 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.

Shark EZ's dustbin capacity is at 0.2L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Shark EZ with a difference of 0.6L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity 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, twin side brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively 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 Shark AV2501S's reach, allowing it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these hard to clean areas.
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 thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Shark AV2501S 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 minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
The Shark EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ by 0.3kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures more in width than the Shark EZ with a difference of 8mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening 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 a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the Shark EZ by 15mm. 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 operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the Shark EZ by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Shark EZ 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
The Shark AV2501S, at 1.5h
spends less time than the Shark EZ with a difference of only 0.9h
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. Shark AV2501S, at 4h
charges for longer than the Shark EZ with a difference of 0.7h.
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 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves several important purposes, making it a valuable 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. Shark AV2501S also has an overheating indicator, such an indicator helps mitigate this risk by preventing the robot vacuum from working under unsafe conditions.
