Shark AV2501S can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to clean most flooring materials without much limitations.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space.
This can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Shark AV2501S having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor 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 S8 Pro Ultra 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 thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark AV2501S are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.

Roborock S8 Pro Ultra comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. Shark AV2501S's dustbin capacity is at 0.8L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied.
The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the Shark AV2501S by only 0.45L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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. Shark AV2501S has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
Shark AV2501S can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Shark AV2501S supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
