Roborock Q5+ can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean flooring materials without much limitations.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Roborock Q5+ having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states 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 areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock Q5+ is one of them. 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.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock Q5+ are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo 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 iRobot Roomba i4 Evo.
