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 several purposes, e.g.
the Shark IQ AV1010AE having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roidmi EVA 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 spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Shark IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roidmi EVA has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, 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 IQ AV1010AE are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
Roidmi EVA 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, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets.

Roidmi EVA 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 environmentally. The Shark IQ AV1010AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. Roidmi EVA, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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 specific 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 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 thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Roidmi EVA 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 commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Roidmi EVA, at 3.6kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 4.3kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark IQ AV1010AE has a width of 325mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Roidmi EVA, at 390mm
measures more in width than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 65mm. 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 looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Roidmi EVA, at 100mm
measures more in height than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 11mm.
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 return to its charging dock for recharging. Shark IQ AV1010AE's operating time is 2h
Roidmi EVA, 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 Roidmi EVA, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The Roidmi EVA, at 74W
