Shark ION Robot RV700 Series [RV750, RV761]
iRobot Roomba 694 [690, 692]
The iRobot Roomba 694 is better than the Shark ION Robot RV700 Series. The iRobot feels better-built, has fewer parts needing regular cleaning, and incurs lower recurring costs. It also does a better job of maneuvering itself and charges faster, though the Shark does have a longer battery life. The Shark also has a slightly larger dustbin and comes with a set of physical boundary strips in the box, unlike the iRobot, with which you need to purchase the boundary strips separately, though you can also opt for the older Roomba 690 variant that comes with a virtual barrier device.
