Our Verdict

Shark IQ Robot

iRobot Roomba i3

The Shark IQ Robot is a better-performing vacuum than the iRobot Roomba i3. The Shark picks up more pet hair from bare floors and has a better performance on low- and high-pile carpets. It also has fewer recurring costs. On the other hand, the iRobot is better built and has an automatic dirt disposal feature.
