Roomba 694's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied. Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Roomba 694 with a difference of 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies 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 Roomba 694 adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. Roomba 694 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Roomba 694 with a difference of 2.2kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba 694 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Roomba 694 with a difference of 10mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba 694's height measures 100mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures less in height than the Roomba 694 with a difference of 17mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure 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 operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba 694's battery power is 2,100mAh
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
The Shark RV912S, at 2h
spends less time than the Roomba 694 with a difference of only 1h
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. Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Roomba 694 by 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 694 has a power consumption of 33W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
