iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all floor types, this means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, giving best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate 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 different situations, 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. Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba s9+ has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus has this 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. 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 can be emptied.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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 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. iRobot Roomba s9+ adjusts 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 S7 MaxV Plus with advanced 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 S7 MaxV Plus, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 1kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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, refers to the width of the area that it 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 MaxV Plus, 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 measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 8mm. When choosing 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 operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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 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 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 Plus, 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 area 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 advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting stuck during 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 varies among different models. Both the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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. These virtual barriers are 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 during cleaning.
Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically.
Route mapping is an important feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and minimize the chance of missing certain spots. Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum emits to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 indicates the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as done with cleaning, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both Roborock S7 MaxV Plus and iRobot Roomba s9+ support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it makes sure 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 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 S7 MaxV Plus is essential in avoiding 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.
