Shark AV2501AE AI Robot Vacuum with XL HEPA Self-Empty Base
The Shark AV2501AE is an AI robot vacuum with an XL HEPA self-empty base that holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris — and the base is bagless, so there are no replacement dust bags to buy.
The Shark AV2501AE is an AI robot vacuum with an XL HEPA self-empty base that holds up to 60 days of dirt and debris — and the base is bagless, so there are no replacement dust bags to buy. Its True HEPA filtration captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns, as stated by Shark, and the self-cleaning brushroll is designed for pet hair.
It navigates with LiDAR and home mapping, and it works with Alexa and Google Assistant. It is a vacuuming-only model, and the base's dust cup and filter still need manual emptying and cleaning — bagless means no bags, not no maintenance.
