When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside 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 keep up the vacuum's performance.
The iRobot Roomba 621's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied. iRobot Roomba 698, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 0.1L
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 can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. iRobot Roomba 621 weighs 4.3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. iRobot Roomba 698, at 3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of 1.3kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 621 has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 340mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba 621. 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 an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 698, at 92mm
has the same height as that of iRobot Roomba 621.
When choosing 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the 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
The iRobot Roomba 698, 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. iRobot Roomba 698, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 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 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 measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
An overheating indicator in a robot vacuum serves several important purposes, making it a very important safety feature. It helps protect the iRobot Roomba 621 from damage by sensing when key components, such as the motor or battery, are operating at temperatures that are dangerous. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur.
iRobot Roomba 621 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba 698 supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process. iRobot Roomba 621 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 698 or iRobot Roomba 621 If you prefer the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your room.
