carries less dirt than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Roborock S5 Max supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The Roborock S5 Max weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability.
The Roomba 694, at 3.4kg
has the same weight as the Roborock S5 Max. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock S5 Max has a width of 351mm, aslo known 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 Roomba 694, at 340mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S5 Max by 11mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock S5 Max's height measures 97mm, 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 obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Roomba 694, at 100mm
measures more in height than the Roborock S5 Max by 3mm. 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.

The Roomba 694, at mAh2,100
has less battery power than the Roborock S5 Max by only
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 operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Roborock S5 Max refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
The Roomba 694, at 3h
lasts more than the Roborock S5 Max by 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Roborock S5 Max has a charge time of 5h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. Roomba 694, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only 2h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roborock S5 Max has a power consumption of 58W, power is often measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The Roomba 694, at 33W
