A robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba 698 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Roborock S7 MaxV also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 MaxV has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba 698 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
Roborock S7 MaxV can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. The iRobot Roomba 698 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. Roborock S7 MaxV too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.

has a shorter warranty period than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 1 year. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
The iRobot Roomba 698's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. Roborock S7 MaxV, at 0.25L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of only 0.35L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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 alert 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 MaxV 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. iRobot Roomba 698 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around.
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 1.4kg. 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is 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
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 50mm.
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 looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 8mm. 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
Roborock S7 MaxV, 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 MaxV, 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 certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Roborock S7 MaxV 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 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 can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. 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, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV and iRobot Roomba 698 have mobile application support, mobile apps enhance your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting 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 stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV and iRobot Roomba 698 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while 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 during cleaning.
Both iRobot Roomba 698 and Roborock S7 MaxV support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. iRobot Roomba 698 has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your space and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically.
Route mapping is a valuable feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 MaxV to adapt to the layout of your home to clean more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots. Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 698 come having an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is designed to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, ensuring its safety during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S7 MaxV is essential in avoiding accidents and protecting the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 698 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start working.
The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is particularly useful in keeping a consistently clean space without the need for manual intervention.
