The robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba 698 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roidmi EVA also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roidmi EVA has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba 698 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
Roidmi EVA can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. The iRobot Roomba 698 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. The Roidmi EVA is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.
The iRobot Roomba 698 has a period of 2 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods. Roidmi EVA, at 1 year
has a shorter warranty period than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 1 year. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
The iRobot Roomba 698's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied. Roidmi EVA, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
iRobot Roomba 698 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Roidmi EVA also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. iRobot Roomba 698 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
The Roidmi EVA, at 3.6kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 698 by 0.6kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing 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 properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roidmi EVA, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 50mm.
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 looking at 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.
The Roidmi EVA, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 698 with a difference of 8mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba 698's operating time is 1.5h
Roidmi EVA, 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. Roidmi EVA, 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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 698 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Roidmi EVA 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, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space 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 detect and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas.
Such a feature is designed to improve cleaning performance and also make sure that it adjusts its settings right when cleaning carpeted areas. Robot vacuums with a carpet detection feature such as the iRobot Roomba 698 and Roidmi EVA use sensors to detect surfaces, allowing them to make necessary adjustments for better cleaning. iRobot Roomba 698 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.

Both the Roidmi EVA and iRobot Roomba 698 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba 698 and Roidmi EVA support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck.
iRobot Roomba 698 has a route mapping feature that enables it to generate a map of your space and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roidmi EVA to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and reduce the chance of missing certain spots.
Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 698 come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, thus its safety while cleaning. This safety feature that is also available on the Roidmi EVA is key in preventing accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 698 has this convenient feature, which enables you to set certain days or times of day for the robot vacuum to automatically start cleaning your home. The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is specifically useful in keeping a consistently clean space without the need for manual intervention.
