Our Verdict

Shark IQ Robot

eufy RoboVac X8

The eufy RoboVac X8 is better than the Shark IQ Robot RV1001 for most use cases. The eufy has fewer parts requiring regular maintenance, incurs lower recurring costs, lasts longer on a single charge, and delivers notably better performance on bare floors. However, the Shark is a little better at maneuvering itself, clears more debris on low-pile carpets, and has a larger dustbin.
