Key Features
360-Degree LiDAR Navigation
A top-mounted LiDAR sensor sweeps a full circle to map your home quickly and accurately. The robot detects furniture, objects, and room boundaries day or night, adjusting its path whenever the layout changes.
Matrix Clean Navigation
Instead of bouncing unpredictably, the robot moves through rooms in an organized grid. It revisits areas with multiple passes, which makes a noticeable difference on carpet where debris can settle deeper into fibers.
30-Day Bagless Self-Empty Base
After every run, the robot automatically transfers what it collected into the base canister. You can go roughly a month between emptying sessions, which removes one of the most repetitive aspects of robot vacuum ownership.
True HEPA Filtration
The base contains a true HEPA filter rated to capture 99.97% of particulates down to 0.3 microns. Pre-motor felt and washable foam filters add an extra layer before air passes through the HEPA stage.
Self-Cleaning Brushroll
The brushroll is engineered to pull hair in and prevent it from winding tightly around the barrel. This helps sustain consistent suction over time and reduces how often you need to manually clear the brush.
120-Minute Runtime with Recharge and Resume
A single charge powers up to 120 minutes of cleaning. If the battery runs out before the job is done, the robot docks automatically, recharges, then returns to the exact spot it stopped without needing any input from you.
Room-Level Home Mapping
The saved map of your home is accessible through the SharkClean app. You can send the robot to a specific room on demand, draw boundaries it will not cross, and set up automatic cleaning schedules that fit your week.
Voice and App Control
Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant so you can start or stop cleanings with a spoken command. The SharkClean app gives you remote access and scheduling. Wi-Fi is optional for basic on-device operation.

Product Overview
The Shark AV2501S is built around one core idea: floor cleaning should not demand your constant involvement. It vacuums, it maps, and it empties itself, which removes the three things that make robot vacuums feel like more work than they’re worth.
What separates it from less sophisticated models is the LiDAR-based navigation. Rather than learning your home through bumping into things, the robot uses laser-based sensing to build an accurate floor plan from the start. That map then drives the Matrix Clean approach, where it moves through rooms in a structured grid rather than a random path, covering each area more than once for deeper pickup, particularly on carpet.
The self-emptying base handles the debris after each session so you are not touching the dustbin after every clean. A 30-day capacity means the base itself only needs attention occasionally. The HEPA system throughout ensures that whatever gets pulled in from your floors is not just relocated into the air during emptying.
For homes with pets, the self-cleaning brushroll makes a practical difference. It handles pet hair and long human hair without it tangling around the barrel and gradually reducing suction over days or weeks. Combined with the edge-sweeping side brushes and powerful main suction, the AV2501S is designed to handle a realistic home environment, not just a clean test floor.
