iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is capable to clean flooring materials without any significant issues.
Roborock S7 MaxV can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, giving best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to create a digital 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 different situations, for example the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Roborock S7 MaxV also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 leaving out those that aren't.
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 S7 MaxV has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, 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. iRobot Roomba s9+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied.
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 0.25L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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 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 S7 MaxV 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 to easily get around and portability.
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 0.7kg. It's important 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 room
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 79mm.
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 looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 11mm. 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 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 S7 MaxV, 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 beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent 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 MaxV, 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, 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 operation. 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. Also, Roborock S7 MaxV is self-emptying, have it in mind 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, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV and iRobot Roomba s9+ have mobile application support, mobile apps enhance your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum getting stuck while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, however the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further eliminate the chances of getting stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through 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 S7 MaxV support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for homes having areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck. 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 clean effectively and systematically.
Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 MaxV to adapt to the layout of your space to work more efficiently and reduce the risk of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum emits to give you information on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock S7 MaxV also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who prefer audible notifications or users who have visual impairments.
Auto-docking is a feature in robot vacuum cleaners that refers to the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both Roborock S7 MaxV and iRobot Roomba s9+ support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it makes sure that the robot vacuum keeps its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention. 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 during operation. This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S7 MaxV is key in avoiding accidents and protecting 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.
