Roborock S7 can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all floor types, it means that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
The robot vacuum's ability to create a 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 several purposes, 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 IQ AV1010AE 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 move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Roborock S7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Shark IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle 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 thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock S7 is one of them. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing 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, 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 washed 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 determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied.
The 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 be based 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 dirt collection container 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 indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged.
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 typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 50W
consumes less power than the Roborock S7 with a difference of 18W. Lower power consumption is 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 an operation or when specific 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 valuable 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, many modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
These robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum with mopping function models and Roborock S7 is one of those robot vacuums
