Shark AV2501S — Features
Bring home a robot cleaner that works for you — not the other way around. The Shark AI ULTRA Robot Self-Empty (AV2501S) combines powerful suction, smart navigation, and a self-emptying base to deliver a near-effortless cleaning experience. Whether you have hard floors, rugs, pets, or allergies, this intelligent robot is engineered to adapt, detect, and clean with precision.
Smarter Cleaning. Less Hassle.
You shouldn’t have to worry about emptying bins every day or checking if your robot missed a corner. The AV2501S addresses these pain points with features designed for real life:
-
Self-Emptying Base with Extended Capacity – The bagless base can store up to 30 days of dust and debris, greatly reducing how often you need to intervene.
-
True HEPA Filtration – Dust, allergens, and micro-particles down to 0.3 microns are trapped, helping maintain cleaner air in your home.
-
Matrix Clean Navigation – Rather than random movements, this robot moves in a grid pattern, passing over areas multiple times to ensure full coverage.
-
360° LiDAR Vision & Home Mapping – Using LiDAR sensors, the AV2501S scans your space and builds detailed maps to avoid obstacles, adjust to changes, and clean methodically, including in low light or darkness.
-
Powerful Suction & Self-Cleaning Brushroll – Strong suction tackles dust, dirt, and pet hair, while the brushroll resists tangling for consistent performance.
-
Recharge & Resume Functionality – If battery runs low mid-clean, the robot returns to its base, recharges, and continues cleaning where it left off.
-
Up to 120 Minutes Runtime – On a full charge, it can clean continuously for up to two hours under optimal conditions.
-
App & Voice Control – Use the companion app to schedule cleans, set no-go zones, or send the robot to specific rooms. It also supports voice commands via Alexa or Google Assistant.
-
Low Profile & Edge Reach – With a height of about 10.3 cm (4.1″), the unit slides under furniture, while side brushes reach edges and corners seamlessly.
-
Carpet Threshold Performance – It handles transitions up to ~1.9 cm (0.7″) in height, making it versatile between hard floors and low rugs.

How It Works — Simple Setup, Smarter Operation
-
Position the Base — Place the self-empty station against a wall with open space around it for robot movement.
-
Power It Up — Plug in the base, then dock the robot to charge and initialize.
-
Install the App — Connect via Wi-Fi, run a mapping cycle, and label rooms or zones.
-
Customize Cleaning Preferences — Use the app to choose suction strength, cleaning zones, or restricted areas.
-
Schedule or Start on Demand — Set cleaning times or send the robot into action with voice/app commands.
-
Empty Base, Rarely — The robot offloads its dustbin into the base automatically for up to a month.
Once everything is set up, the robot runs largely independently — you just check the base occasionally, replace filters when needed, and let it do its work.
Ideal Use Cases & Scenarios
-
Homes with Pets — Excellent at picking up hair and preventing tangles, even with shedding breeds.
-
Allergy-Sensitive Environments — True HEPA filtration helps reduce airborne dust and allergens.
-
Multi-Room Spaces — Smart mapping and recharge/resume let it clean entire homes in segments.
-
Busy Lifestyles — Automated emptying and scheduling mean minimal hands-on upkeep.
-
Mixed Floors & Rugs — Smooth transitions across hard floors and low carpet surfaces.
Strengths & Considerations

Why the Shark AI ULTRA (AV2501S) Stands Out
The AV2501S integrates multiple next-gen features into a seamless cleaning experience. By combining powerful suction, self-emptying convenience, smart obstacle detection, HEPA filtration, and adaptive navigation, it moves beyond being “just another robot vacuum.” It’s a cleaner that thinks — and works — on its own.
If you’re looking for a robot vacuum that reduces your weekly workload, handles complex room layouts, manages pet hair, and requires minimal day-to-day attention, this is one of the most capable options available today.
