Our Verdict

Shark AI Ultra Robot [AV2501AE, AV2501S, AV2511AE, RV2502AE]

Shark IQ 2-in-1 [RV2410WD, UR2410WD]

The Shark AI Ultra Robot and the Shark IQ 2-in-1 each have advantages, so one might suit you better than the other depending on your needs. The AI Ultra is compatible with a self-emptying dock, helping to reduce hands-on maintenance. It also does a better job of maneuvering itself. That said, the IQ is equipped with a mopping system, takes considerably less time to recharge while offering similar battery life, and feels better built.
