Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" 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 dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Shark AV2501S 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 spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. Shark IQ RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S 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 and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ RV1001AE are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

The Shark IQ RV1001AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Shark IQ RV1001AE with a difference of 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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. 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 enable 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 Shark AV2501S with better sensor technology and adaptability.
This feature is essential for maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert 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 thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Shark AV2501S also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. Shark IQ RV1001AE weighs 6kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
