the RV2001WD is the model number of R201WD.

The AI Robot R201/RV2001 and R211/RV2011 have the same features, the difference between them is where sold and the accessories included.
The AI Robot R201/RV2001 may comes with:
(2)Filters, (2)Sets of Side Brushes, or (1)Filter, (1)Set of Side Brushes.

the Vacmop and Vacmop Pro feature sonic mopping function to mop hard floors whereas the basic AI Robot does not have this feature.
You cannot buy the AI Robot R201/RV2001 and R211/RV2011, then add the fluid reservoir later. Because the AI Robot is not compatible with fluid reservoir.
The Vacmop can only wet mop hard floors, but cannot wet clean carpets.
The robot has the ability to detect carpets and rugs.
You can activate the Carpet Detection in the app when it mops to stop it from moving onto carpets and rugs, or set up no-go zones in the app.

According to product specifications on Shark official site, the AI Robot dust bin capacity is 0.33 quarts versus 0.27 on the vacmop and vacmop pro.
And the AI robot weighs 7 lbs versus 7.6 lbs on the vacmop and vacmop pro.
AI Robot dimensions (in.): 12.52″ X 12.83″ X 3.48″ (LxWxH)
Vacmop dimensions (in.): 12.52″ X 13.52″ X 3.48″ (LxWxH)

What’s new on these Shark AI robots?
The Shark AI robots adds the new AI Laser Vision which claimed to be Shark’s most advanced vision module. It enables the robot to detect and avoid obstacles, and respond to no-go zone you set up in the app. Unlike the previous robot versions, it does not require the physical boundary strip to keep the robot out of certain areas. The Vacmop models also feature sonic mopping which scrubs hard floors 100 times per minute. You can not schedule the vacmop robot to dry vacuum first then wet mop. It vacuums and mops simultaneously when the fluid reservoir and mop pad attached. To vacuum only, the fluid reservoir must NOT be attached to the robot. And it does not mop only.
And according to Shark, the AI Laser Vision is not dependent on ambient lighting and can navigate your home at night or in low lighting conditions. Previous series robots needs light to know where they are going, if clean in dark areas, they cannot clean properly in a row by row way.

Some questions and answers:

  • Do they clean randomly or methodically?
    They clean row by row methodically.
  • Do these Shark AI robots have the self empty feature like the IQ self empty robot?
    No. The Shark AI robots is not compatible with the self empty base.
  • Can you use it to clean a multiple story house?
    It can only map one floor. You would need to manually move it to another floor. When the Robot is low in battery, you would need to manually put the Robot on the charging dock to recharge.
  • Do they return to charge automatically and resume cleaning?
    Yes. As long as you use them on one level, and follow the user guide, these things should be done automatically.
  • Do they include boundary strip so that you can stop them from entering no go zone?
    No. These AI robots now support virtual no go zone, so they do not need the boundary strip anymore.
  • Do they work without internet connection?
    Yes. But any features that require Wi-Fi will not work.
  • How tall are these vacuum robots?
    They are 3.48-inch in height.
  • With the AI robot vacmop, can you set it to vacuum only?
    It will not mop hard floors unless you attach the fluid reservoir.

The main difference between the Shark IQ Robot XL Vacuum R101AE and Shark IQ R100 is the R101AE has the self empty feature. The R101AE includes a self empty base which allows the robot to empty the dust and debris when it returns to the base. According to Shark, this bagless base can hold up to 30 full bins of dust and debris before being emptied. While the R100 comes with a standard charging base. It is not compatible with the Self Empty Base. The robot needs to be manually emptied when bin is full.
And at this moment, Shark does not offer the Self Empty Base separately. If you want it, you have to buy the bundle that includes it.
Another difference is the dust bin capacity. The bin on R100 holds up to 0.6 quarts while the R101AE has a much smaller dust bin which holds up to 0.2 quarts. However, since the R101AE features self empty base, the smaller bin does not matter.

Shark Rocket Pet Pro Cordless Stick Vacuum IZ163H vs IZ162H vs IZ162HC what’s the difference?

1 Reply

The difference between Shark IZ162H, IZ162HC and IZ163H are as follows:

  • The IZ162H comes with a Standard Wand, a Pet Multi-Tool, and an 8-inch Crevice Tool.
  • The IZ162HC comes with a Standard Wand, an Upholstery Tool, and an 8-inch Crevice Tool.
  • The IZ163H comes with a MultiFLEX Wand, a Pet Multi-Tool, and an 8-inch Crevice Tool.

Simple info on the attachments:

  • The Standard Wand cannot bend whereas the MultiFLEX Wand can flex down to easily get under bed, chair, table and other furniture, or flex over to stand upright by its own for storage. So if you want a stick vacuum that bends, you should get the IZ163H. However, the MultiFLEX Wand can be purchased separately. If you already have the IZ162H or IZ162HC, you can also buy the flexible wand to replace the standard wand with no need to purchase a new vacuum cleaner.

  • They have battery indicator to show battery power level.
  • 2-in-1 design: can be used as a stick vacuum to clean hard floors and carpet, or a hand held vacuum to do above floor cleaning, automobile cleaning, etc.

  • Anti-Allergen Complete Seal and HEPA filtration help trap messes inside the vacuum.
  • They have swivel cleaner head.

Some questions and answers:

  • How long will it take to fully change?
    Approximately 3 – 3.5 hours.
  • How long will the battery run per charge?
    Depends on what mode you set.
    According to Shark, when using without the nozzle, it can run up to 40 minutes.
    When using as a stick vacuum, it can run approximately 25 minutes in bare floor mode and 20 minutes in carpet mode.
    When using in Boost mode, it will run approximately 10 minutes.
  • If run out of battery, can it be used when it is plugged in charging?
    No.
  • Does it come with a charging station?
    No.
    It comes with a plug in charger. You can remove the battery to charge, or charge it without removing the battery.

  • How big is the dust bin?
    The dust cup capacity is 0.34 dry quarts.

Likes:

  • Battery is detachable to charge, so you can buy a spare one to extend the working time. And when the battery die, you can still use the machine by ordering a replacement battery. This is a plus compared to those cordless vacuums that use a built-in battery which cannot be replaced by users. Because the battery will die sooner or later, I think most people prefer a cordless vacuum with replaceable battery.
  • Anti-Allergen Complete Seal system with HEPA filtration trap dust, dander, and allergens inside the vacuum, make the Shark Rocket Pet Pro a good handheld and stick vacuum option for allergy sufferer. For handheld and stick vacuum with HEPA filter, there are limited options on the market.
  • Less tangled hair problem on the self cleaning brushroll than other vacuums.
  • Battery indicator light to show remaining charge and charging status.
  • Easy to maneuver around.
  • Easy to switch out tools.
  • Have headlights to help clean low light spots.

Dislikes:

  • If you do your research on the IZ162H, you probably have found that many users complain that hair get wrapped on the little wheels at the front of the floor nozzle, and also on the narrow brush behind the self cleaning brushroll. Don’t know if the IZ163H have the same problems.
    Some users shared their experience on solving the hair tangle issue on the small wheels – replace the velvet covered wheels with rubber wheels.
  • There are some user reviews pointed out that hair and other messes might be collected around the central hole of the nozzle without being sucked up into the dust cup.
  • No kits to attach the tools on board.
  • Does not do a good job on carpets.
