is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 4.3kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark IQ AV1010AE has a width of 325mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The Eufy Clean x9 Pro, at 353mm
measures more in width than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 28mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Shark IQ AV1010AE's height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Eufy Clean x9 Pro, at 114mm
measures more in height than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 25mm. 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 operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Shark IQ AV1010AE's operating time is 2h
The Eufy Clean x9 Pro, at 3.3h
lasts more than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 1.3h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Shark IQ AV1010AE has a charge time of 5h, 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.
