A robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Shark IQ AV1010AE having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
The Lefant M210P 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 IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Lefant M210P has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ AV1010AE are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed 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 Lefant M210P.
Shark IQ AV1010AE 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. Lefant M210P is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. Shark IQ AV1010AE has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuum cleaners can vary widely depending on the design 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 various cleaning scenarios. 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 warranty periods. The Lefant M210P, at 1 year

When thinking of buying 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 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 indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied.
The Lefant M210P, at 0.5L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary 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. Shark IQ AV1010AE has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be useful 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 often-neglected areas. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin 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 to easily get around and portability. The Lefant M210P, at 1.2kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 6.7kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting 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 one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Shark IQ AV1010AE's height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low 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 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 IQ AV1010AE refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Shark IQ AV1010AE's operating time is 2h
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 by 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.
