The iRobot Roomba 692, at 3.5kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 0.5kg.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 698 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 one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba 692, at 330mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 10mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba 698's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 692, at 93mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 698 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
The iRobot Roomba 692, at 1.5h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 698
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
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. iRobot Roomba 692, at 2h
has the same charge time as the iRobot Roomba 698. 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.
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 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba 692 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.
iRobot Roomba 698 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 692 or iRobot Roomba 698 If you value the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your space. iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adjust to different floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like hardwood to carpeted areas.
iRobot Roomba 698 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the iRobot Roomba 692 and iRobot Roomba 698 have mobile application support, mobile apps enhance the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 698 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, however the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the iRobot Roomba 692 and iRobot Roomba 698 have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck during cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning.
