iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S7 Max Ultra can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to generate 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 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 keeping out of those that are not. Roborock S7 Max Ultra also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the space.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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 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, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 0.4L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba s9+
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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 transitioning 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 S7 Max Ultra 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 for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 4.8kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 1.1kg. It's important to consider 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, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, 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 measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 96.5mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 7.5mm. 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 a crucial factor that 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 S7 Max Ultra, 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 space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner 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 S7 Max Ultra, 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 availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba s9+, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, Roborock S7 Max Ultra is self-emptying, it's important to note that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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 designed to reduce the likelihood of the robot vacuum getting trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. Both the Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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 during 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 S7 Max Ultra support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for homes with 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 space and schedule efficient cleaning routes.
This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 Max Ultra to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and reduce the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum states to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
The Roborock S7 Max Ultra 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. Both Roborock S7 Max Ultra and iRobot Roomba s9+ support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it ensures that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning without requiring manual intervention.
Most 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 S7 Max Ultra is essential 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.
