Shark EZ cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated as being able to clean all floor types, this implies that the robot vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
Shark RV912S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. Shark EZ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark RV912S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Shark EZ has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. The 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 floors. The Shark EZ has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods.
The 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, 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 RV912S comes with washable filters, the good thing about 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. Shark EZ's dustbin capacity is at 0.2L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Shark EZ with a difference of 0.5L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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 useful 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 RV912S's reach, enabling 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 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. Shark EZ weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around.
Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Shark EZ with a difference of 2.8kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting 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 it can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Shark EZ by 10mm.
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 looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
The Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures less in height than the Shark EZ by 6mm. When choosing 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark EZ's battery power is 2,450mAh
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. 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.
Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Shark EZ with a difference of 2.7h. 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 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 measured in watts (W) and changes 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 are dangerous.
Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific 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 key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process.
Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the Shark EZ, are advanced robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Shark RV912S 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. Problem area cleaning allows you to command a robot vacuum to focus on cleaning a specific spot in your space, the Shark EZ supports this, which can be particularly useful for dealing with particular area messes or high-traffic areas.
Shark RV912S also supports problem area cleaning, the problem area cleaning feature is a better way to address specific area messes or high-traffic areas without running a full cleaning cycle for your entire home.
