Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, it means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock Q5 aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets 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 "understand" the layout of the space.
This can be used for different situations, for example the Shark IQ RV1001AE having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Roborock Q5 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 ignoring those that aren't.
Shark IQ RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
The Roborock Q5 also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ RV1001AE are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
