weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 0.7kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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 the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 13mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 698's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 3mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of 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
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 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.
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, 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, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur.
iRobot Roomba 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 process. iRobot Roomba 698 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to detect and adapt to different floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas. This feature is intended to optimize cleaning performance and also ensure that it adjusts its settings appropriately when cleaning areas with carpets. Robot vacuums with a carpet detection feature such as the iRobot Roomba 698 and Roborock Q7 Max Plus utilize sensors to detect surfaces, allowing them to make necessary adjustments for efficient cleaning.
