Roborock S5 Max cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be as being able to clean all floor types, this implies that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
A 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, e.g.
the Roborock S5 Max having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus 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 navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Roborock S5 Max has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S5 Max is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S5 Max are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum.

carries less dirt than the Roborock S5 Max by only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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 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. iRobot 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.
The Roborock S5 Max weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The iRobot 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 robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock S5 Max has a width of 351mm, 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 key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 338mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 13mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock S5 Max's height measures 97mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S5 Max by 5mm. When selecting 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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S5 Max's battery power is 5,200mAh
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 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 cleaning cycles with less 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 return to its charging dock for recharging.
Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of 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. The iRobot 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.
