A robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, e.g.
the Roomba i1 Plus having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Roomba i1 Plus is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roomba i1 Plus are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. Shark AV752 can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. The Roomba i1 Plus is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.
The Shark AV752 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. The Roomba i1 Plus has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods. The Shark AV752, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roomba i1 Plus.
When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Roomba i1 Plus's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Shark AV752, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. Roomba i1 Plus can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Shark AV752 with better sensor technology and adaptability.
This feature is essential for maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. Roomba i1 Plus supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Shark AV752 also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. Roomba i1 Plus weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The Shark AV752, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 1.7kg.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba i1 Plus has a width of 338mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
Shark AV752, at 315mm
measures less in width than the Roomba i1 Plus by 23mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba i1 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. Shark AV752, at 90mm
measures less in height than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 2mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh
Shark AV752, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the Roomba i1 Plus by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Roomba i1 Plus refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Shark AV752, at 2h
lasts more than the Roomba i1 Plus by 0.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roomba i1 Plus has a charge time of 2.5h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle.
The Shark AV752, at 4h
charges for longer than the Roomba i1 Plus by 1.5h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
Roomba i1 Plus has a power consumption of 28W, power is often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Roomba i1 Plus has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the Shark AV752 or Roomba i1 Plus If you value the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your home.
