Shark AV2501S cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without much limitations.
Airrobo P20 can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A 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 keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Shark AV2501S having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Airrobo P20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states 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 leaving out those that aren't. Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Airrobo P20 has an obstacle 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 and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark AV2501S are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
