Roborock S6 MaxV cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is stated as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean most flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark IQ RV1001AE aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to generate 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.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Roborock S6 MaxV having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Shark IQ RV1001AE also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Roborock S6 MaxV has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark IQ RV1001AE has this 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 and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 MaxV is one of them. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Shark IQ RV1001AE also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
