Shark IQ RV1001AE can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S7 Plus aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to create a 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 provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Roborock S7 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 move to the mapped-out spaces 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 path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 Plus has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, 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 areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock S7 Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
