Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all types of floors, this means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean flooring materials without any significant issues.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors 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 keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Shark IQ RV1001AE having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring 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 way, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are areas that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum.

Shark IQ RV1001AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size 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. The Shark IQ RV1001AE can adjust 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.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus with advanced sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify 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.
