iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean several flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be adaptable, giving effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The vacuum's ability to create 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 space.
This 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 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 spaces to be cleaned ignoring 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, allowing 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 environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus 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, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it requires to 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 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. 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 Plus with advanced 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 commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 1kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot 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 it can properly 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
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, shortening 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 of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 8mm. When choosing 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 operate on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba s9+'s operating time is 1h
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, 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, these 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 cleaning cycle. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems 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 MaxV Plus 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 Plus 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 becoming trapped during cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary 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 helps to further reduce the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are set up and controlled via 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 during cleaning.
Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S7 MaxV Plus support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is mostly 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 space and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically.
Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and minimize the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum emits to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock S7 MaxV Plus 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 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 Plus 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, hence its safety while cleaning. This safety feature that is also available on the Roborock S7 MaxV Plus is essential in mitigating accidents and keeping 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.
