Our Verdict

Shark AI Ultra Robot [AV2501AE, AV2501S, AV2511AE, RV2502AE]

bObsweep Dustin

The Shark AI Ultra Robot AV2501S and the bObsweep Dustin each have their advantages. The Shark performs better overall, with superior debris-pickup performance on hard floors and carpets. It also gets stuck less frequently. That said, the bObsweep provides a slightly more premium ownership experience: it feels better made, and its self-empty station uses disposable dirtbags, unlike the Shark base station's bagless design. This makes for a much easier, more hygienic routine maintenance. While the bObsweep's app is somewhat clunky, it does have a wider range of features than the Shark.
