A robot vacuum's ability to create 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 desired space. This 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 keeping out of those that are not.
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring 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 way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Roborock S7 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. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ AV1010AE are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 your robot vacuum.

Shark IQ AV1010AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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. Shark IQ AV1010AE has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert 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 thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Roborock S7 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 reduces 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 Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 4.7kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 3.2kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting 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 the robot vacuum can effectively 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
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 350mm
measures more in width than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 25mm. 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 to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 97mm
measures more in height than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 8mm. 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 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 Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 3h
lasts more than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 1h
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.
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
