carries less dirt than the Roborock S5 Max by only 0.2L
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. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert 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. Roomba i1 Plus also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. Roborock S5 Max weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
The Roomba i1 Plus, at 4.7kg
weighs more than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 1.3kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's 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 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
The Roomba i1 Plus, at 338mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S5 Max by 13mm.
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 looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
The Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 5mm. When selecting 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 run on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S5 Max's battery power is 5,200mAh
Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations 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 charge before it needs to be recharged. Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S5 Max by only 1.25h
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 i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only 2.5h. 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.
