Roborock S7 Plus can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. A robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital 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.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Roborock S7 Plus having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Shark AV2501S 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 move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Roborock S7 Plus 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 AV2501S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, enabling it 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 advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S7 Plus is one of them.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
