iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of 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 provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock S7 Pro Ultra has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
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 Pro Ultra, at 0.4L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba s9+
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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.
The iRobot Roomba s9+ adjusts 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 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 Pro 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.
iRobot Roomba s9+ weighs 3.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 1kg. It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, and that's 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 effectively clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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 measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba s9+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by
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 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 charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba s9+'s operating time is 1h
Roborock S7 Pro 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 concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room 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 a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, Roborock S7 Pro 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, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 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 Pro Ultra and iRobot Roomba s9+ have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of getting stuck during cleaning.
These virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba s9+ and Roborock S7 Pro Ultra support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature which enables it to generate a map of your home and schedule efficient cleaning routes.
This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 Pro Ultra to adapt to the layout of your home to clean more efficiently and reduce the chance of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum states to give you information on the different states of the vacuum.
iRobot Roomba s9+ supports this feature
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 refers to the vacuum's ability to return to its docking station when certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 without requiring manual intervention.
Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come equipped with an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is designed to prevent 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 Pro Ultra is essential in preventing 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.
