Roborock Q7 Max, at 3.8kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 0.8kg.
It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 698 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 key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Roborock Q7 Max, at 350mm
measures more 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 limited clearance in your home. Roborock Q7 Max, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 5mm.
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 operating time of the iRobot Roomba 698 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
Roborock Q7 Max, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1.5h
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. Roborock Q7 Max, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roborock Q7 Max has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process.
iRobot Roomba 698 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to detect and adjust to different floor surfaces, specifically 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.
