iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
Roomba e5 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, giving effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, e.g. the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the Roomba e5 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, 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 vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Roomba e5, at 3.3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.4kg.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the 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, is 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 time it takes to clean a room
The Roomba e5, 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 considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roomba e5, at 92mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 3mm.
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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
Roomba e5, at mAh3,300
has the same battery power as the iRobot Roomba s9+
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 cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the 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
Roomba e5, 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, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
You may want to consider buying either the Roomba e5 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 home. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba s9+, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the Roomba e5 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 getting 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 can vary among different models.
Both the Roomba e5 and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of getting stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are set up and managed via 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 during cleaning. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature that enables it to generate a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes.
This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum states to provide you information on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports 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.
Both Roomba e5 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 without requiring manual intervention. Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come having an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is intended to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, hence its safety during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the Roomba e5 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.
