has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 694 with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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.
The iRobot Roomba 694 adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. The iRobot Roomba 694 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. iRobot Roomba 694 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
iRobot 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.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 694's battery power is 2,100mAh
Roborock S7, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba 694 by
A bigger capacity usually means 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba 694's operating time is 3h
The Roborock S7, at 3h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 694
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
iRobot 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 iRobot Roomba 694 with a difference of 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. iRobot Roomba 694 has a power consumption of 33W, power is often 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 iRobot Roomba 694 by 35W.
Lower power consumption can be 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. iRobot Roomba 694 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
