Roborock Q7 Max cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, e.g. the Roborock Q7 Max having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
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. Roborock Q7 Max has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S 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 and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock Q7 Max supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly 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 Roborock Q7 Max are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
Shark AV2501S can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Roborock Q7 Max 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 AV2501S is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.

Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning floors. Roborock Q7 Max has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods.
Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock Q7 Max. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Roborock Q7 Max has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and washed to maintain the vacuum's performance.
Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. The Roborock Q7 Max's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Roborock Q7 Max by 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the size 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. The Roborock Q7 Max adjusts 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 AV2501S with sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability.
This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Roborock Q7 Max 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 AV2501S 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. Roborock Q7 Max weighs 3.8kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
is lighter than the Roborock Q7 Max by 0.7kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock Q7 Max has a width of 350mm, 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 room
The Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures less in width than the Roborock Q7 Max by 2mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
Roborock Q7 Max's height measures 97mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the Roborock Q7 Max by 7mm.
When choosing 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock Q7 Max's battery power is 5,200mAh
Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has less battery power than the Roborock Q7 Max with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
