Which is better for pet hair?

The Shark is built for it: a self-cleaning brushroll with PowerFins plus an anti-allergen HEPA filter. The Roborock's anti-tangle brush and 210AW suction also handle pet hair well, with less emptying thanks to the dock.

Which has longer battery life?

The Roborock, at up to 90 minutes versus 40 minutes for the Shark. The Shark's battery is detachable, so you can swap in a spare.

Is the Roborock worth the extra money?

At recent lows the gap was about $50 ($249.99 versus $199.98). You pay for the auto-empty dock, double the runtime and stronger suction; skip it if you want a light vacuum for quick pickups.

Which is easier to carry around the house?

The Shark, at 7.17 lbs. The Roborock weighs 9.8 kg, so it is better left on the floor with its dock.

How often do you empty each one?

The Shark's 0.34 qt cup needs emptying after most cleans. The Roborock's 3 L dock bag lasts up to 100 days.

Do both filter allergens?

Yes. The Shark uses a foam pre-motor filter and a HEPA post-motor filter; the Roborock uses HEPA filtration with a stated 99% bacterial removal rate.
