While iRobot's Roomba may be the best known robot vacuum range, two brands in particular have become serious competitors: Shark and Eufy. According to retail experts NPD, Shark – part of the large SharkNinja home appliance company, also known for producing some of the best air fryers and multi-function cookers – is now the number one multi-function brand in America; meanwhile Eufy is a sub-brand of the electronics giant Anker and makes a wide range of home products including smart scales and security systems.
In recent years we've seen both of these brands deliver increasingly smart and powerful robot vacuums at a range of prices. From affordable, compact cleaners to extremely clever laser-guided models there's a Shark or Eufy to suit every kind of home. But there are differences in what they do, and in how much you'll pay for the features you need.
