It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting 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, is 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 time it takes to clean a room
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba 698's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measure 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. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 5mm.
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 return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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. The 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, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
