Our Verdict
Shark AI Robot RV2001
Roborock Q5+
The Roborock Q5+ is better than the Shark AI Robot RV2001. The Roborock can be bundled with a self-emptying dock that reduces hands-on maintenance requirements, has an automatic surface adjustment feature, and does a better job of handling pet hair. The Mi Home app is also far more intuitive than the SharkClean app and has a broader range of features, including manual directional control and 3D map viewing.
