iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, it means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean most flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
This 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 without accessing those that are not. Roborock Q7 Max Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 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, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max Plus has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 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. The iRobot Roomba s9+ can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to enable 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 sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around.
The 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 robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's 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, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 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 measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The 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, 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 a crucial factor that 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
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like 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, these are designed to detect the availability 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, mobile apps enhance the user 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 trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature varies 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 becoming stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed through 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 spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature which enables it to create a map of your home and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Route mapping is an important feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Roborock Q7 Max Plus to adapt to the layout of your space to work more efficiently and minimize the possibility of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum states to give you information on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports voice prompts, this feature can be useful for you who like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Auto-docking is a feature in robot vacuum cleaners that indicates the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as done with cleaning, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Both Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 equipped with an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is intended to prevent 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 Roborock Q7 Max Plus is key in preventing accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle.
