iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside a 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 vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S6 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, giving best 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 "understand" the layout of the space.
This 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 s9+ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the Roborock S6 has this 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 preventing 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 vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. Roborock S6, 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 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+ 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. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roborock S6 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. The iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The Roborock S6, at 3.6kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.1kg.
It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing 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 the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Roborock S6, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 39mm. 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 a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. Roborock S6, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 8mm.
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 a crucial factor that 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
The Roborock S6, 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 home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba s9+ 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
The Roborock S6, 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 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 Roborock S6 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 a convenient 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 Roborock S6 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 reduce 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 navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models.
Both the Roborock S6 and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while 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 while cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S6 support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your home and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances 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 S6 to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and reduce the possibility of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum emits to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
The Roborock S6 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 certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come having an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended 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 Roborock S6 is key in preventing accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle.
