Verdict

The call

SharkClean and VeSync both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of VeSync's written reviews are positive against 49% of SharkClean's. VeSync also leads on device support (4 vs 2). SharkClean's advantage is ratings volume (506K vs 77K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
