iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, giving best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max Plus has this 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. The iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity 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.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roborock Q7 Max Plus with better sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3.7kg
has the same weight as the iRobot Roomba s9+.
It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting 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 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 space
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 42mm. 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 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 low clearance in your home. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 6mm.
When selecting 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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by
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 without frequent 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 be recharged. iRobot Roomba s9+'s operating time is 1h
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 2h
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 space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba s9+, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 s9+ supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 reduce the chance of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
Both the Roborock Q7 Max Plus and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further reduce the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock Q7 Max Plus support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is mostly 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 clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock Q7 Max Plus to adapt to the layout of your space to work more efficiently and reduce the possibility of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum states to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who prefer audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. 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.
Both Roborock Q7 Max Plus and iRobot Roomba s9+ support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it ensures that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention. 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, hence its safety while cleaning.
This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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.
