A robot 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 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 keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Roomba i1 Plus is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The 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.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roomba i1 Plus are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.

has the same dustbin capacity as the Roomba i1 Plus
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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. The Roomba i1 Plus adjusts its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving 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. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container 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 Plus 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. 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 Plus, at 4.7kg

Roomba i1 Plus has a width of 338mm, 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 important 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 with a difference of 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 considering 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 by 5mm.
When choosing 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 run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Roomba i1 Plus by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.

The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 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 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 changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 74W
