iRobot Roomba 694's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. Roborock S7, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 694 by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among 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 694 adjusts its height to match this demand, 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 make sure the brushes make good contact. The iRobot Roomba 694 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. iRobot Roomba 694 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 effectively clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
iRobot Roomba 694's height measures 100mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. 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 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 with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer 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. iRobot Roomba 694's operating time is 3h
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 by 2h. 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. iRobot Roomba 694 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. The Roborock S7, at 68W
consumes more power than the iRobot 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. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 694 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
