Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean flooring materials without any significant issues.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni is one of them.
