iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S6 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. The robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the 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 keeping out of 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 route, 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, enabling it 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 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 varies 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 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 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.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The Roborock S6, at 3.6kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 0.1kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when getting 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 duration 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba s9+'s height measures 89mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles 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, 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 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 cleaning cycles 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 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 availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. 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 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 without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S6 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 chance of the robot vacuum becoming 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 stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary 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 during cleaning.
These virtual barriers are typically 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 during cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S6 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 generate a map of your space 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 work more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots. Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum states 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 like 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 getting work done, 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, thus its safety while cleaning. This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S6 is essential in avoiding accidents and protecting 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.
