Our Verdict

Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty

iRobot Roomba i1

The Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty and the iRobot Roomba i1 each have their strengths, meaning one might suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The Shark incurs lower ownership costs, as its self-emptying base station doesn't use disposable dirtbags. The Shark also struggles less with bulky debris. However, the iRobot's self-emptying base station has a greater debris capacity. The iRobot is also easier to maintain, takes much less time to recharge, and has a more intuitive companion app.
