Shark IQ RV1001AE can clean all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, giving best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A robot 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 keep a record of the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation 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 keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Shark IQ RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max Plus has an obstacle 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 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 is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
