iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S7 MaxV can also clean all floor types, this means that it too 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. 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 several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba s9+ having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Roborock S7 MaxV also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out 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, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 MaxV has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing 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, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied.
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 0.25L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by only 0.15L
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. 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 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 MaxV with sophiscated 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 S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.7kg. 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to 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 duration it takes to clean a room
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 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 considering 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.
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 11mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 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 with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba s9+ 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+ 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 space being cleaned and can be used to 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, that allows you to 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 designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming 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 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, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup 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 spaces with 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 home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically.
Route mapping is a valuable feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 MaxV to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and minimize the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum states to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock S7 MaxV 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 in robot vacuum cleaners that indicates 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 ensures that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning without requiring manual intervention. Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature.
This feature is designed to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, hence its safety during operation. This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S7 MaxV 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 off a ledge during its cleaning cycle.
