iRobot Roomba s9+ cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all floor types, it implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to clean several flooring materials without any significant issues.
Tikom G8000 Pro aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning performance 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 "understand" the layout of the desired 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. The Tikom G8000 Pro 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 move 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 route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Tikom G8000 Pro has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, 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. 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 needs to be emptied.
Tikom G8000 Pro, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 0.2L
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. The iRobot Roomba s9+ can adjust its height to match this demand, 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 ensure the brushes make good contact.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Tikom G8000 Pro with sophiscated sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for maintaining 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 portability.
Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2.8kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 0.9kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting 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 properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 325mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by 14mm.
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 measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 78.7mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 10.3mm. 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 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 Tikom G8000 Pro, at mAh2,600
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba s9+ by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer 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 Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba s9+ with a difference of 1h
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 room being cleaned and can be used to 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, Tikom G8000 Pro 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 Tikom G8000 Pro 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 chance of the robot vacuum becoming 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 trapped, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. Both the Tikom G8000 Pro 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 eliminate the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and managed via 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 Tikom G8000 Pro support virtual barriers, the 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 that 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 an important feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Tikom G8000 Pro to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and reduce the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts are audible messages that the vacuum states to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. iRobot Roomba s9+ has this feature
Tikom G8000 Pro 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 Tikom G8000 Pro 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. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba s9+ come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature.
This feature is designed to prevent 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 Tikom G8000 Pro is key 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.
