Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 1.7kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly 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 space
The 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 to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture 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 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 time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
The 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 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 an operation 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 Plus has 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, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration 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, this enables the vacuum to detect and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas.
