Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Airrobo P20 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a 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 space.
This can be used for different situations, e.g. the Shark IQ RV1001AE having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Airrobo P20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
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 RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Airrobo P20 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE is one of them. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ RV1001AE are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
Airrobo P20 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 Airrobo P20. The Shark IQ RV1001AE 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.

has the same warranty period as that of Shark IQ RV1001AE. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Shark IQ RV1001AE 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.
Airrobo P20 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 for the environment. The Shark IQ RV1001AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Airrobo P20, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Shark IQ RV1001AE
The dustbin capacity can vary 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.
Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. The Shark IQ RV1001AE adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Airrobo P20 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.

Shark IQ RV1001AE has a width of 328mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively 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
Airrobo P20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of 8mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Shark IQ RV1001AE's height measures 89mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
Airrobo P20, at 78mm
measures less in height than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by 11mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Shark IQ RV1001AE's battery power is 5,200mAh
Airrobo P20, at mAh2,800
has less battery power than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Shark IQ RV1001AE refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Shark IQ RV1001AE's operating time is 4h
