Our Verdict

Roborock S5

Shark IQ Robot

The Roborock S5 is a better vacuum than the Shark IQ Robot RV1001. The Roborock is better built, is easier to maintain, and has lower recurring costs. It also has better battery performance, with a longer overall battery life despite a shorter charging time. It performs better on bare floors and even comes with a mopping attachment to clear sticky messes, though we don't test for that. However, the Shark clears more debris on carpeted surfaces and is a little more compact.
