Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all types of floors, this means that the robot vacuum is capable to clean several flooring materials without any significant issues.
Airrobo P20 aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The 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 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 dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Airrobo P20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 RV1001AE 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 Airrobo P20 has this 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 preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ RV1001AE are designed 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 RV1001AE'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 Airrobo P20, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Shark IQ RV1001AE
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend 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 demand, 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. 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 RV1001AE supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means 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 show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
