A vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba i7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
iRobot Roomba i7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV752 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, 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 found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot Roomba i7 supports this feature.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many 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.
iRobot Roomba i7 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through 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 buying a robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba i7 has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.

When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba i7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot 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 different 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.
Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba i7 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.
iRobot Roomba i7 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The 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 considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Shark AV752, at 90mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure 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 operate on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Shark AV752, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity usually means 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 iRobot Roomba i7 refers to the amount of 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 with a difference of 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, as 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.
