Our Verdict

Shark AI Robot

Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty

The Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty AV911S and the Shark AI Robot RV2001 both have advantages, meaning one may suit you better depending on your own needs. The EZ has a much greater dirt compartment capacity because of its external dustbin and delivers superior performance on low- and high-pile carpets, especially when dealing with pet hair. Meanwhile, the AI incurs fewer recurring costs, has fewer parts that need regular cleaning, and maneuvers over obstructions like electrical cords with less difficulty. In addition, you can use its companion app to set up virtual boundary lines that the AI won't cross.
