1. The IQ XL

The IQ XL is one of the few robots to offer a true "set it and forget it" experience thanks to its intelligent features, such as visual mapping and self-emptying. Its all-black utilitarian design won't be a winner in style awards, but it's sturdy enough and feels well-built. Its features make it a good choice for pet owners.

In our tests, we observed that the IQ XL was able to remove a large amount of dirt from floors that were not cleaned. It also did well on low-pile carpets. It was also able to navigate furniture and other obstacles with ease and was able to move itself to clean the edges of rooms. It was prone to push things like chair legs or bowls of dog food too strongly. It also had difficulty picking up large debris, such as sand and baking soda, off of low-pile flooring.

You can control the IQ XL by using the Clean and Dock buttons or by interacting by voice commands using Alexa or Google Assistant. You can also make use of the SharkClean application that is stylish and simple to use. Once you've created your account, you'll need to connect to WiFi and name the robot. You can also create an agenda and assign rooms.

The IQ XL comes with three power modes which include the Eco mode that saves energy and the default Normal mode and Max which is a high-powered mode. It comes with two side brushes that help to pull in debris closer to the edges of the robot's body and into the direction of its main brushroll. It also comes with an Evacuate-and-Resume feature that allows the robot to return to its base and empty its dust bin before beginning the cleaning cycle. The robot is then able to resume right where it left.

The IQ is a robot vacuum that operates quickly and efficiently. It is rarely stuck. It has a large bin in its base that requires emptying once a month. The HEPA-certified filter makes it easy to clean and catches airborne allergens while it vacuums.

The IQ is a little more expensive than other robotic vacuums we've looked at, but it provides better mapping and virtual boundary creation that prevents lamp cords and pet waste from being swept away into your carpet. It can also be controlled via an app for mobile devices, which allows you to set up a schedule and control it using your voice.

This model has a slim profile of 11.8 inches by 3 inches, which allows it to be placed under furniture that larger models such as the Eufy 11s or iRobot j7+ could not. It comes with a Wi-Fi radio that is built-in and connects to your home's router. The app lets you create cleaning schedules and establish no-go zones, and check the battery level as well as other information. The only downside is that you must manually empty the bin. This could be messy as dust will fly all over.

3. The RV2502AE

The RV2502AE is Shark's first robot vacuum to utilize LiDAR navigation, an advanced feature that lets it better navigate around your home and avoid obstacles. The previous robots from shark robot vacmop all used V-SLAM, which is a navigation system based on cameras that works well but isn’t as precise as LiDAR.

This is our most expensive runner-up, but it delivers lots of value for the extra cost. It is equipped with powerful cleaning capacity, lots of advanced features and a self-emptying bagless base that is able to store up to 60 days of dirt.

It is equipped with a long-lasting battery, and it returns automatically to its charging dock when completed or when its internal battery gets depleted. You can control it through the intuitive app, using Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant or by pressing the Clean and Dock buttons at the top.

You can choose from three different power settings: Eco, which is energy efficient and requires the least amount of suction. Normal, which is the default mode and is ideal for the majority of situations; and Max, which provides maximum suction, but consumes more battery. It also has the ability to create virtual no-go zones and customize its cleaning schedule according to your requirements.

The RV2502AE is not our top choice because of several flaws. It's also taller than our runner-up picks, which means it can't be placed under low couches or TV stands. Also, the V-SLAM navigation may have difficulty navigating around cords, and the robot may get stuck in corners or on stairs.

It's still a great choice for those who want a versatile robotic vacuum that can vacuum and mop.

Most robot vacuums require regular cleaning or emptying. The shark self empty robot vacuum IQ Self-Empty XL RV1001AE, which costs $599, cuts down this maintenance to once a month. It comes with a bagless base to hold 30 days' worth of dust and other debris. In our testing it worked swiftly and efficiently, never getting stuck, and provided powerful suction power.

It's particularly useful for homes with pets. The IQ Lite XL robot is the only shark robot vacuum mop robot that we've tested with a dedicated sensor for marking no-go zones. Other robots use their upward-facing cameras for this however the sensor on the IQ Lite sits between the Dock and Clean buttons.
