Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is stated as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without much significant issues.
Airrobo P20 aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be versatile, providing effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space 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 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 involves 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 areas 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 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, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas 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 built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
The Airrobo P20 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. The Shark IQ RV1001AE is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The Airrobo P20 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.
The Shark IQ RV1001AE has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuum cleaners varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. The Airrobo P20, having only 4
has the same number of cleaning modes as the Shark IQ RV1001AE
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning floors. The Shark IQ RV1001AE has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods.
The Airrobo P20, at 1 year
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, as well as 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 maintain the vacuum's performance.
Airrobo P20 comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. 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 requires to be emptied. The Airrobo P20, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Shark IQ RV1001AE
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity 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 alert 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 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. The Shark IQ RV1001AE weighs 6kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around.
Airrobo P20, at 3.8kg
is lighter than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by 2.2kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Shark IQ RV1001AE has a width of 328mm, aslo known 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 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Shark IQ RV1001AE's height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
The Airrobo P20, at 78mm
measures less in height than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of 11mm. 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it 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
The Airrobo P20, at mAh2,800
has less battery power than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. Shark IQ RV1001AE's operating time is 4h
Airrobo P20, at 2h
spends less time than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of only 2h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Shark IQ RV1001AE has a charge time of 4h, 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. Airrobo P20, at 6h
charges for longer than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by 2h. 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.
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 RV1001AE has a power consumption of 58W, power is often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Airrobo P20, at 25W
consumes less power than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of 33W.
Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
