Our Verdict

iRobot Roomba i7

Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty

The iRobot Roomba i7 is slightly better than the Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty. The iRobot feels better built, is easier to maintain, delivers slightly better performance on low-pile carpets, maneuvers itself more efficiently, and allows you to set up virtual boundary lines through its companion app. Its external dustbin uses disposable dirtbags that have a larger total capacity than the Shark's bagless base station too. Meanwhile, the Shark incurs fewer recurring costs, clears more debris on bare floors and high-pile carpets, and has a considerably longer maximum battery life, though the iRobot does charge a lot faster.
