Roborock Q7 Max cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all types of floors, it means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to generate a 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 space.
This 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. Shark AV2501S 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 navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Roborock Q7 Max has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock Q7 Max supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas 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 added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
