Shark AI cleans all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all floor types, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be adaptable, giving effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area 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 several purposes, 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. Roborock Q7 Max Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
Shark AI has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing 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 better understanding of its surroundings, making it possible 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 of many robot vacuum cleaners and the Shark AI is one of them.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are areas 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 through 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.

has more modes than the Shark AI with a difference of 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces. Shark AI has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranty periods.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark AI. 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 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 washed to maintain the vacuum's performance.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. Shark AI's dustbin capacity is at 0.3L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The 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 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.
Shark AI has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. The Shark AI weighs 3.2kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3.7kg
weighs more than the Shark AI with a difference of 0.5kg.
It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark AI has a width of 348mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
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 considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures less in height than the Shark AI by 9mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Shark AI's operating time is 2h
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the Shark AI with a difference of 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, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle 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 process.
