Buy the Roborock Qrevo S5V Robot Vacuum.

It mops, dodges clutter, and pulls more dirt out of carpet than the Shark ever will.

What was compared

1. Mops floors while the Shark only vacuums
The S5V's FlexiArm mop washes and dries itself and actually scrubs hard floors, something the AV2501S cannot do at all. If tile or hardwood needs more than dust pickup, only the Roborock delivers it.
2. Pulls more dirt out of carpet and pet hair
12,000Pa of suction digs into carpet pile that Shark's lower-tier motor tends to leave behind. On light daily dust both cope fine, but on ground-in grit and pet hair the Roborock's extra pull actually shows up.
3. Skips the getting-stuck reputation Shark carries
Community feedback repeatedly flags Shark's robot line for navigation and reliability gripes, while the Qrevo series pairs LiDAR with AI obstacle avoidance for steadier runs. On a cluttered floor plan that consistency matters daily.
4. An app that actually manages the cleaning
Direct comparisons call out Roborock's app as more capable than Shark's for scheduling, zone control and mapping. If you tweak routines often, that daily interface gap outweighs any spec sheet number.
5. Yes it costs more. Here is why that is fine.
The Shark undercuts the S5V by about $470 and even edges it on warranty support. But it skips mopping entirely, trails on suction and navigation, and Shark's robot line carries a wider reliability gripe in reviews. Unless you strictly want cheap dry vacuuming, the extra spend buys real capability.
