A robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space. This can be used for different situations, for example the iRobot Roomba i7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
iRobot Roomba i7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV752 has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, making it possible 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 advanced robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba i7 is one of them.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba i7 are designed 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 iRobot Roomba i7 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The Shark AV752 is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba i7 has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners can vary depending on the design of the robot vacuum.

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 iRobot Roomba i7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. The Shark AV752, at 0.5L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba i7
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba i7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means 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 show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring.
iRobot Roomba i7 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The Shark AV752, at 3kg
has the same weight as the iRobot Roomba i7. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7 has a width of 338mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Shark AV752, at 315mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 23mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i7's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Shark AV752, at 90mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
Shark AV752, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba i7's operating time is 1.25h
The Shark AV752, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 0.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba i7 has a charge time of 2h, 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. Shark AV752, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Shark AV752 has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process. iRobot Roomba i7 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
