The Shark Navigator AV2120 is a mid-range robot vacuum with SmartPath navigation (gyroscopic/bump-based, not LiDAR), 4000Pa suction, and a self-cleaning brushroll for pet hair. It vacuums carpets and hard floors but does not mop. Features include a 120-minute runtime, 0.5L bin, WiFi app control with scheduling, and voice compatibility (Alexa/Google Home). The vacuum climbs ¾-inch thresholds and measures 13.4" diameter × 3.6" height.

Positioning: A budget-friendly entry for small-to-medium homes and pet owners who prioritize hair management over smart mapping. No self-empty dock; users must manually empty the bin. Solid suction and brushroll design appeal to carpet users, but the random-navigation approach means longer coverage times and occasional furniture bumps compared to LiDAR rivals.
