iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
iRobot Roomba 671 can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. 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 "understand" the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. iRobot Roomba s9+ 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.
iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied. The iRobot Roomba 671, at 0.4L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba s9+
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the size 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.
iRobot Roomba s9+ can adjust 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 iRobot Roomba 671 with better sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. iRobot Roomba 671, at 2.3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 1.4kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba s9+ has a width of 311mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it 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
iRobot Roomba 671, at 340mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 29mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba s9+'s height measures 89mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 671, at 90mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 1mm. 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
iRobot Roomba 671, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations 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 charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba s9+'s operating time is 1h
iRobot Roomba 671, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room 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 671 or iRobot Roomba s9+ 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 space.
Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba s9+, are advanced robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Both the iRobot Roomba 671 and iRobot Roomba s9+ have mobile application support, this enhances your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature which enables it to generate a map of your space and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances 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 671 to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum emits to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
The iRobot Roomba 671 also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Auto-docking is a feature that indicates the vacuum's ability to return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Both iRobot Roomba 671 and iRobot Roomba s9+ support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it makes sure that the robot vacuum keeps its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to save 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 iRobot Roomba 671 is key in preventing accidents and protecting the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle.
