Roborock S7 cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, giving effective cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for different situations, for example the Roborock S7 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 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 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing 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, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S7 is one of them.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S7 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces. The Roborock S7 has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. The Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S7.
When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Roborock S7 has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to maintain the vacuum's performance. Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally.
Roborock S7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Roborock S7 with a difference of 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. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied.
Roborock S7 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 show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
The Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has less battery power than the Roborock S7 by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Roborock S7 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roborock S7's operating time is 3h
The Shark AV2501S, at 1.5h
spends less time than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 1.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Roborock S7 has a charge time of 5h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. Shark AV2501S, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 by only 1h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roborock S7 has a power consumption of 68W, power is measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur.
Roborock S7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Shark AV2501S supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations. That's right, most modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum and mop models and Roborock S7 is one of those robot vacuums
Roborock S7 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to detect and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas. This feature is intended to optimize cleaning performance and also make sure that it adjusts its settings appropriately when cleaning carpeted areas. Robot vacuums with a carpet detection feature such as the Roborock S7 and Shark AV2501S use sensors for surface detection, allowing them to make required adjustments for better cleaning.
Roborock S7 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
