Our Verdict

Shark AI Ultra Robot AV2501S

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.
