The companion app isn't the best with a clunky interface and inputs that do not always get a response. It also doesn't have mapping capabilities and is unable to see coverage maps of previous cleaning sessions or establish boundary markers. It also lacks a sensor that measures the fill level to the maximum.
The ION Robot AV2500 Series

Ion works with the hospital's PACS system and PlanPoint software to provide seamless workflow from preparing through completing a lung nodule biopsy procedure. Ion's pre-planned navigation paths are designed to ensure tool-in lesion accuracy and navigate to the far end of the peripheral lung. The non-magnetic navigation system is able to integrate easily into bronchoscopy suites and without the need for external electromagnetic navigation or a magnetic shield. The ultrathin bronchoscopy catheter it uses is thin enough for it to be inserted into a sleeve in the case of cystic fibrosis.
The ION Robot AV3500 Series
This vacuum feels very well-made, clears pet hair and bulky particles easily, and comes with an extended battery life. It has a rudimentary navigation system that can hit objects and be caught in rugs tassels. It's also a little noisier than some models and comes with recurring expenses like replacing the pre-motor filter as well as the brushroll and side brushes when needed.

It's also difficult to use when inputs don't always register and a complicated menu system.
The ION Robot AV4500 Series
The ION Robot is a budget robot that cleans the majority of surfaces effectively and feels very well-made. It has a long-lasting battery, simple-to-use controls, and several operating modes. It also comes with a good dust bin that snaps in and out for quick refills. However, it is possible for it to become stuck on items such as socks, and requires manual intervention in tight spaces.
The ION Robot's companion application allows it to switch between three power modes: the energy-efficient Eco mode and the standard Normal mode and a high-suction mode. Physical buttons on top allow you to begin and end a cleaning session, return the robot to its dock, or activate the suction mode called 'Max. It isn't equipped with the advanced room mapping features found on more expensive Shark robot models. It has some recurring expenses, like a premotor filter and brushroll that must be replaced every two months.
The ION Robot AV5500 Series
The Shark robot vacuum is made well, clears debris effectively on all surfaces, and has an extended battery life. It's not equipped to handle pet hair or other difficult mess, and its automation features are rudimentary.
It uses random navigation to move about its coverage area, which may lead it to miss spots or pass over them multiple times. It may also be caught in rug tassels or have difficulty trying to climb steps.
Its ION application has basic functions such as scheduling and setting power modes, but the interface can be frustrating to use due to inputs that aren't always recognized and a convoluted menu structure. The Shark AI Ultra Robot, for example, offers boundary maker and coverage map options. It's not available on the cheaper models. It's also important to keep track of ongoing expenses like changing the pre-motor filter as well as brushroll.
The ION Robot AV6500 Series
The robot is easy to use and comes with a companion app. It is also quiet and can be operated without wifi by pressing the robot's operating buttons. The dust bin is easy to empty and snaps back in place.
It is able to take away small and bulky objects like rice or cereal. Its rudimentary navigation system which relies on random paths to map its coverage area and is not equipped with room mapping capabilities, may cause it to miss some areas of the home or become stuck on rug tassels.
The EZ Robot is superior to this model in most instances. It is better made and has less components that need periodic replacement or maintenance and incurs less recurring costs. It also maneuvers more efficiently and has superior performance when used on low pile and bare floors. It also comes with a wider variety of automation features and a bigger trash bin.
