iRobot Roomba 621 cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, it means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
iRobot Roomba 676 can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area 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 iRobot Roomba 621 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. iRobot Roomba 621 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the iRobot Roomba 676 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 preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. The iRobot Roomba 621 has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba 621 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranty periods.

When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba 621 has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to maintain the vacuum's performance.
The iRobot Roomba 621's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. iRobot Roomba 676, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba 621 by only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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 iRobot Roomba 621 adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. The iRobot Roomba 621 weighs 4.3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. iRobot Roomba 676, at 3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 1.3kg.
It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 621 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba 676, at 340mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba 621. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba 621's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 676, at 92mm
has the same height as that of iRobot Roomba 621.
When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
The iRobot Roomba 676, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 621 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba 621's operating time is 1.5h
iRobot Roomba 676, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 621 has a charge time of 3h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle.
iRobot Roomba 676, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of only 1h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
iRobot Roomba 621 has a power consumption of 33W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. iRobot Roomba 676, at 33W
has the same power consumption as that of iRobot Roomba 621. Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves several key purposes, making it a valuable safety feature. It helps protect the iRobot Roomba 621 from damage by detecting when critical components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that are dangerous.
