A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Roomba i1 Plus having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces 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. Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are locations that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roomba i1 Plus are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 Roborock S7 MaxV Plus.

has the same dustbin capacity as the Roomba i1 Plus
The dustbin capacity can vary 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. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
Roomba i1 Plus can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for 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 Plus with advanced 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 notify 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 which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
Roomba i1 Plus weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 4.7kg
has the same weight as the Roomba i1 Plus. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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, often referred to 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 key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 350mm
measures more in width than the Roomba i1 Plus by 12mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing 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 limited clearance in your home. Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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 space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. 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 be recharged.
Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This is 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 measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
