The 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. This can be used for different situations, e.g.
the Shark IQ AV1010AE having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Lefant M210P 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 navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
Shark IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Lefant M210P has this 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. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ AV1010AE are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The Lefant M210P can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Shark IQ AV1010AE is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. Lefant M210P too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.
Shark IQ AV1010AE has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuum cleaners varies widely depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. The Lefant M210P, having only 4
has more modes than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning floors. The Shark IQ AV1010AE has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranties.
The Lefant M210P, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Shark IQ AV1010AE. 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. Shark IQ AV1010AE 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 keep up the vacuum's performance.
The Shark IQ AV1010AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Lefant M210P, at 0.5L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. The Shark IQ AV1010AE has twin side brushes, these brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges.
Instead of a single side brush, which is commonly found on many robot vacuums, twin side brushes have two side brushes one on each side of the robot vacuum. They extend the Lefant M210P's reach, allowing it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these hard to clean areas. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
Shark IQ AV1010AE supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Lefant M210P also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The Shark IQ AV1010AE weighs 7.9kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
Lefant M210P, at 1.2kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 6.7kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark IQ AV1010AE has a width of 325mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it 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 room
The Lefant M210P, at 279.4mm
measures less in width than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 45.6mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Shark IQ AV1010AE's height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
The Lefant M210P, at 73.7mm
measures less in height than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 15.3mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Shark IQ AV1010AE's operating time is 2h
The Lefant M210P, at 2h
has the same operating time as the Shark IQ AV1010AE
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Shark IQ AV1010AE 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. Lefant M210P, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of only 1h.
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. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Shark IQ AV1010AE has a power consumption of 50W, power is measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur. Shark IQ AV1010AE has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Lefant M210P supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations.
