The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1.7kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot 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 it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 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 to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 5mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure 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 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
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 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 Plus, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 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. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation 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 MaxV Plus 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, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the area 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 identify and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas.
