iRobot Roomba s9+ can clean all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to clean several flooring materials without any significant issues.
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The vacuum's ability to create 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 space.
This 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 Pro Ultra also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move 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 objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding 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, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and 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, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied.

has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba s9+
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different 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. The iRobot Roomba s9+ can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to allow for 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 Pro Ultra 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 for easy maneuverability and portability.
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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 getting a model, and that's 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 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 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 limited clearance in your home.
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 8mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 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
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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 home 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 battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. 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, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area 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 the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 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 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 while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba s9+ are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move 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 eliminate the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed 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 Pro Ultra support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for homes having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. iRobot Roomba s9+ has a route mapping feature which enables it to create a map of your space 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 enables robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 Pro Ultra to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and minimize the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum emits to provide you information on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra 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 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 ensures that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature.
