iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the robot vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
Roborock S6 can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is built to be versatile, giving effective cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for different situations, 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. iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, 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 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.
The 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 requires to 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 size 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.
iRobot Roomba s9+ can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving 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 S6 with better 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 generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around 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 take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially 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, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum 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
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 looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture 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. It is typically 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 implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba s9+ refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single 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+ 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 room 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 prefer 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 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. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports a smartphone app, through which you can 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 your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance 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, however the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the Roborock S6 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 while cleaning.
These virtual barriers are set up and controlled via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed 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, the ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for homes with areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature that enables it to generate a map of your space and plan efficient cleaning routes.
This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 to adapt to the layout of your home to clean more efficiently and minimize the chance of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum emits to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
Roborock S6 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 that refers to the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when certain 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 "anti-fall" feature.
This feature is intended to save 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 essential in mitigating accidents and protecting 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.
