It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, especially 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, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively 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
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 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.
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. Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 96.5mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 4.5mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, 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. Roborock S7 Max Ultra, 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
This feature is 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. Also, Roborock S7 Max Ultra supports 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, dirt sensors 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 operation. iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to detect and adapt to all kinds of floor surfaces, to be specific 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 remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
