has the same warranty period as that of Roomba 694. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
The Roomba 694's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Roborock S7, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the Roomba 694 with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size 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.
Roomba 694 adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. The Roomba 694 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Roomba 694 has a width of 340mm, 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
Roomba 694's height measures 100mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. 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), Roomba 694's battery power is 2,100mAh
Roborock S7, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Roomba 694 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. 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 return to its charging dock for recharging. Roomba 694's operating time is 3h
Roborock S7, at 3h
has the same operating time as the Roomba 694
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Roomba 694 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. Roborock S7, at 5h
charges for longer than the Roomba 694 by 2h. 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.
This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roomba 694 has a power consumption of 33W, power is measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The Roborock S7, at 68W
consumes more power than the Roomba 694 by 35W.
Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. Roomba 694 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Roborock S7 has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations. Roomba 694 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. This feature enables you to instruct a robot vacuum to focus on cleaning a specific spot in your space, the Roomba 694 supports this, which can be particularly useful for addressing localized messes or high-traffic areas.
Roomba 694 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to detect and adjust to different floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it moves from hard floors like tile to areas with carpets.
