Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S7 Max Ultra can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is built to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation 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 Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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 spaces 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 objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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 avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are essentially 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 Roborock S7 Max Ultra also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are locations that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum.

Shark IQ RV1001AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ RV1001AE by only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based 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. Shark IQ RV1001AE can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roborock S7 Max Ultra with sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
