Roborock S7 can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
The vacuum's ability to create 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 desired space. This can be used for several purposes, for example the Roborock S7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
Shark IQ AV1010AE 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 navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Roborock S7 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 and avoid collisions.
Also, the Shark IQ AV1010AE has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it 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 S7 supports this feature. 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.

has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S7. When thinking of buying 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.
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 IQ AV1010AE comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. The Roborock S7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied.
Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the Roborock S7 by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity 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 thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Shark IQ AV1010AE 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 reduces the need for constant monitoring. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
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 IQ AV1010AE, at 2h
spends less time than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 1h
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 IQ AV1010AE, at 5h
has the same charge time as the Roborock S7.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This is 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 50W
consumes less power than the Roborock S7 by 18W. Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, but it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur.
Roborock S7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Shark IQ AV1010AE 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 process. That's right, most modern robot vacuum cleaners have the capability to mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum with mopping function models and Roborock S7 is one of those robot vacuums
Roborock S7 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to identify and adapt to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like hardwood to carpets.
