It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba 692 has a width of 330mm, often referred to 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 important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
iRobot Roomba i3, at 337mm
measures more in width than the Roomba 692 with a difference of 7mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba 692's height measures 93mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i3, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roomba 692 by 1mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba 692's battery power is 1,800mAh
The iRobot Roomba i3, at mAh1,800
has the same battery power as the Roomba 692
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 without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Roomba 692 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roomba 692's operating time is 1.5h
The iRobot Roomba i3, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roomba 692 by only 0.25h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roomba 692 has a charge time of 2h, 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 i3, at 5h
charges for longer than the Roomba 692 with a difference of 3h. 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. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
Roomba 692 has a power consumption of 33W, power is often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. Roomba 692 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, iRobot Roomba i3 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. Roomba 692 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. Roomba 692 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
