weighs more than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by 0.3kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7+ has a width of 339mm, often referred to 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 time it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba s9+, at 311mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7+ with a difference of 28mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i7+'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 limited clearance in your home.
iRobot Roomba s9+, at 89mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7+ with a difference of 3mm. When choosing 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
The iRobot Roomba s9+, at mAh3,300
has the same battery power as the iRobot Roomba i7+
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room 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 amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba i7+'s operating time is 1.25h
iRobot Roomba s9+, at 1h
spends less time than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by only 0.25h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
iRobot Roomba i7+ has a charge time of 3h, 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. iRobot Roomba i7+ has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba s9+ or iRobot Roomba i7+ If you value the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your home.
Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba i7+, are modern robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, iRobot Roomba s9+ is self-emptying, have it in mind that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature. iRobot Roomba i7+ 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 iRobot Roomba s9+ and iRobot Roomba i7+ have mobile application support, this enhances the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting stuck during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba i7+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba s9+ and iRobot Roomba i7+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further eliminate the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled via 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 during cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba i7+ and iRobot Roomba s9+ support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces with areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles.
iRobot Roomba i7+ has a route mapping feature which enables it to create a map of your space and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and minimize the possibility of missing certain spots.
Auto-docking is a feature that indicates the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction.
