The iRobot Roomba 698's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba 698 by only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container 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. Roborock S7 Max Ultra also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The iRobot Roomba 698 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 4.8kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 1.8kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when choosing 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, refers to 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 room
The 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 considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home.
The 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 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 charge before it needs to be recharged.
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 is ready for its next 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.
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 availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. iRobot Roomba 698 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to detect and adjust to different floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas.
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.
