Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is stated as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the robot vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without much significant issues.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, giving effective cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a digital 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 several purposes, e.g. the Shark IQ RV1001AE having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states 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 areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Shark IQ RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni 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 and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
