Our Verdict
ILIFE A4s
Shark ION Robot AV753 Series
The Shark ION Robot AV753 Series is slightly superior to the ILIFE A4s. The Shark feels better made, has a much longer battery life, and is more effective on bare floors and high-pile carpets, though it struggles more with pet hair than the ILIFE. The ILIFE is slightly smaller and lighter and does a marginally better job removing fine debris like baking soda from low-pile carpets.
