Shark AI cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, giving effective cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in 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 space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, for example the Shark AI having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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.
Shark AI has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Shark AI supports this feature.
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. Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark AI are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with Roborock Q7 Max Plus. The Shark AI is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.
The Shark AI has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners can vary depending on the design of the robot vacuum. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, having only 4
has more modes than the Shark AI by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning floors. The Shark AI has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranties.
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark AI. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Shark AI 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 keep up the vacuum's performance.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. Shark AI's dustbin capacity is at 0.3L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the Shark AI with a difference of 0.2L
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.
The Shark AI has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. The Shark AI weighs 3.2kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3.7kg
weighs more than the Shark AI by 0.5kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark AI has a width of 348mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the Shark AI by 5mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
Shark AI's height measures 104mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures less in height than the Shark AI by 9mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The operating time of the Shark AI refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. Shark AI's operating time is 2h
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the Shark AI by 1h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Shark AI has a charge time of 4h, 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. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 4h
has the same charge time as the Shark AI. 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.
This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. Shark AI has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 operations.
This feature enables you to program a robot vacuum to focus on cleaning a particular spot in your home, the Shark AI supports this, which can be really useful for dealing with particular area messes or high-traffic areas. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports problem area cleaning, the problem area cleaning feature is a convenient way to deal with specific area messes or busy areas without running a full cleaning cycle for your entire home.
