Shark EZ cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean several flooring materials without much significant issues.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. Shark EZ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, 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 environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
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 different cleaning challenges. Shark EZ has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties.
Shark AV2501S, 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 cleaned to maintain the vacuum's performance.
Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. The Shark EZ's dustbin capacity is at 0.2L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Shark EZ by 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.
Shark EZ has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, since 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 often-neglected areas.
Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify 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 reduces the need for constant monitoring.
Shark EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ by 0.3kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially 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 it can properly 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 space
The Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures more in width than the Shark EZ by 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 measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the Shark EZ by 15mm. 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 run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
The 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 space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Shark EZ refers to the amount of 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
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 by 0.7h.
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. 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 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 several key 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, the indicator helps mitigate this risk by preventing the robot vacuum from operating under unsafe conditions.
This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. Shark EZ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Shark AV2501S 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 process.
