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. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, this means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
Roborock S6 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, giving best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a digital 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.
Mapping and navigation 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 without accessing those that are not. iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, this 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 thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the 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 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 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. iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are generally 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 advisable to take in consideration 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, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The 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, 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 to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Roborock S6, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 8mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure 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 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+ by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with less 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 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+ 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 concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room 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 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 chance of the robot vacuum getting trapped while 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 eliminate the chances of getting 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 designed to enable 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 mostly useful for homes having 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 home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves 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 space to work more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum states to give you information 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 like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Auto-docking is a feature that refers to the vacuum's ability to 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 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 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.
