A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space. This can be used for different situations, 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.
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 and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV752 has an obstacle 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 preventing 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 integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

The Shark IQ AV1010AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. The Shark AV752, at 0.5L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies 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.
The Shark IQ AV1010AE has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be useful for specific cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum 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 Shark AV752's reach, enabling it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these often-neglected areas.
Most 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. Shark AV752 also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring.
Shark IQ AV1010AE weighs 7.9kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. Shark AV752, at 3kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 4.9kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting 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, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Shark AV752, at 315mm
measures less in width than the Shark IQ AV1010AE by 10mm. 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 measure 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. Shark AV752, at 90mm
measures more in height than the Shark IQ AV1010AE with a difference of 1mm. When selecting 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 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
The Shark AV752, 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.
Shark AV752, 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to 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.
