Overall Score 5.6
The Roomba 698 is a powerful robot vacuum that uses patented dirt-detect sensors to clean hard floors and carpets. It has an auto-adjust cleaning head that adjusts its height to effectively clean carpets moving from hard floors and back. The robot also has adaptive navigation, allowing it to navigate under furniture and along edges.
It uses cliff-detect technology to avoid falling down the steps, it also has voice assistant capability through Google and Alexa devices, making it easy to clean just at the sound of your voice, and after cleaning, it automatically docks itself.
The 3-stage cleaning system and multi-surface brushes work together to remove dirt and debris as one agitates and loosens dirt the other moves oppositely to pull it in for suction.
A robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba 698 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba 698 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The iRobot Roomba 698 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. iRobot Roomba 698 has a period of 2 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties. iRobot Roomba 698's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba 698 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The iRobot Roomba 698 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
iRobot Roomba 698 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum 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 iRobot Roomba 698's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
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 698's operating time is 1.5h iRobot Roomba 698 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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur.
iRobot Roomba 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. iRobot Roomba 698 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adapt to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like hardwood to areas with carpets.
iRobot Roomba 698 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to reduce the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 698 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
These virtual barriers are set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. iRobot Roomba 698 has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically.
Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 698 come having an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, hence its safety while cleaning. iRobot Roomba 698 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to automatically start working.
iRobot Roomba 698 supports Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi-enabled robot vacuums offer several advantages and features, such as remote control, mobile app integration, voice assistant compatibility, and remote monitoring.
