Shark AV2501S AI Ultra
Score: 74/100
Roborock Q7 M5+ Black
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Roborock Q7 M5+ combines 10 000 Pa suction with an auto-empty dock for up to seven weeks, featuring dual anti-tangle brushes and a sizable water tank for mopping. Its battery efficiency and less precise LiDAR can limit runtime and cleaning accuracy on complex layouts. It works well in spacious, mostly hard-floor homes with pets.
The Shark AV2501S AI Ultra provides quiet 59 dBA operation, Matrix Clean navigation and a HEPA self-empty base for low-maintenance cleaning. Its pet-hair pickup is only moderate and it can stumble in cluttered spaces. It fits users who value quiet, app-controlled cleaning on mixed floors.

Professional reviewers commend the AV2501S for its strong airflow, quiet 59 dBA operation, and sophisticated Matrix Clean mapping, while noting its limited pet-hair pickup and modest obstacle handling.
Everyday users praise the convenience of the self-emptying base, the quiet night-time cleaning, and the easy-to-use app with voice control. Common themes include appreciation for reliable whole-home mapping and strong suction on hard floors, while concerns revolve around pet-hair performance and occasional navigation issues in cluttered spaces.
“Users appreciate hands-off self-empty (30+ days), pet hair handling, app ease, and night cleaning.”
“RIPS through open space”
“better dock noise than Roombas”
Professional reviewers consider the Q7 M5+ the best entry-level robot vacuum, lauding its strong hard-floor pickup, high suction, and generous coverage while noting its average carpet deep-clean, modest battery efficiency and less precise LiDAR compared with premium models.
Everyday users praise the robot's speed on open hard floors, quieter dock operation and the convenience of automatic emptying and mopping, but repeatedly mention the need for extra passes on fine debris and the limitation that auto-empty only occurs when the bin is completely full.
