measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 10mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 621's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 692, at 93mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 1mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit 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 measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
The iRobot Roomba 692, 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 beneficial if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less 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 692, at 1.5h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 621
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. The iRobot Roomba 692, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins 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 692, 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 important purposes, making it a valuable safety feature.
