The vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. This can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the Roomba i1 Plus having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Roborock S7 MaxV also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Roomba i1 Plus is one of them. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock S7 MaxV also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are areas that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roomba i1 Plus are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. The Roborock S7 MaxV can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Roomba i1 Plus 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.
Roborock S7 MaxV is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. Roomba i1 Plus has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods. Roborock S7 MaxV, at 1 year

carries less dirt than the Roomba i1 Plus by only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. The Roomba i1 Plus adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roborock S7 MaxV with sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability.
This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Roomba i1 Plus supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Roborock S7 MaxV also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. Roomba i1 Plus weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
is lighter than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 0.3kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba i1 Plus has a width of 338mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the Roomba i1 Plus by 52mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba i1 Plus'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 obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the Roomba i1 Plus by 8mm.
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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh
Roborock S7 MaxV, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Roomba i1 Plus refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 3h
lasts more than the Roomba i1 Plus by 1.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roomba i1 Plus has a charge time of 2.5h, 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, at 4h
charges for longer than the Roomba i1 Plus by 1.5h. 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. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
Roomba i1 Plus has a power consumption of 28W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Roborock S7 MaxV, at 74W
