iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S6 aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. The robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital 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 several purposes, e.g. the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can dedicate 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 way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Roborock S6 has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better 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. The 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. The Roborock S6, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based 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 requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for 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 maintaining 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 carrying around. The Roborock S6, at 3.6kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.1kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration 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, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roborock S6, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 39mm. 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. Roborock S6, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 8mm.
When choosing 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 operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
Roborock S6, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba s9+ refers to the amount of 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 S6, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 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 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 space. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems 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, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the Roborock S6 and iRobot Roomba s9+ have mobile application support, this enhances the user 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 during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move 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 can help further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. These 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 while cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S6 support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces with areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles.
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 enhances the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 to adapt to the layout of your home to clean more efficiently and reduce the chance of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum emits to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock S6 also supports voice prompts, this feature can be 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 return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as done with cleaning, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come having an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, ensuring its safety during operation. This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S6 is key in avoiding 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.
