iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all types of floors, it means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without any limitations.
A vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, 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 698 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size 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. 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 make sure the brushes make good contact.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The iRobot Roomba 698, at 3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.7kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba s9+ has a width of 311mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 340mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 29mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba s9+'s height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 698, at 92mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 3mm. When choosing 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 run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
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 return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba s9+'s operating time is 1h
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 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 availability 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 698 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 room. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba s9+, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use 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 698 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 intended to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the iRobot Roomba 698 and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further eliminate the chances of getting stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are 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.
Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and iRobot Roomba 698 support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for homes with areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature that enables it to create 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 698 to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and reduce the chance of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum states to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
Auto-docking is a feature in robot vacuum cleaners that indicates the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come having an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is designed to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, ensuring its safety while cleaning. This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba 698 is essential in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle.
