weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1.7kg. It's advisable to consider 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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, shortening 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 an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 5mm. When selecting 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 return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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 Pro Ultra, 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
