Shark EZ cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, this means that the vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark RV912S aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, giving 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 obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark RV912S 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.
The Shark EZ has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums can vary depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. Shark RV912S, 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 various cleaning scenarios. Shark EZ has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end brands may offer longer warranty periods.
Shark RV912S, 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, 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 cleaned to keep up the vacuum's performance.
Shark RV912S comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. Shark EZ's dustbin capacity is at 0.2L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Shark EZ by 0.5L
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, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific 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 RV912S's reach, enabling 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. The Shark EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
The Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ by 2.8kg. 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, 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 duration it takes to clean a room
Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Shark EZ with a difference of 10mm.
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 looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home.
The Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures less in height than the Shark EZ with a difference of 6mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
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
Shark RV912S, at 2h
spends less time than the Shark EZ by only 0.4h
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.
The Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Shark EZ by 2.7h. 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 typically 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 very important safety feature. It helps protect the Shark EZ from damage by sensing when key 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 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, Shark RV912S 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 modern robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Shark RV912S 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 program a robot vacuum to focus on cleaning a specific spot in your space, Shark EZ supports this, which can be really useful for addressing particular area messes or busy areas.
Shark RV912S also supports this feature, the problem area cleaning feature is a better way to deal with specific area messes or busy areas without running a full cleaning cycle for your entire space.
