The iRobot Roomba 698 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1.4kg.
It's important to take in consideration 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, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 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 considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of 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
The 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, 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 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 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 operations.
iRobot Roomba 698 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability 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, which allows the vacuum to detect and adapt to different floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile 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.
