Our Verdict

Shark IQ Robot AV992

Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty AV911S

The Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty AV911S is better than the Shark IQ Robot AV992. The EZ has an automatic dirt disposal function, charges slightly faster while offering similar overall battery life, and maneuvers over tasseled rugs with less difficulty. Meanwhile, the AV992 has fewer parts that need regular cleaning and incurs lower recurring costs.
