Roborock S5 Max has a width of 351mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly 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 iRobot 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 an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S5 Max by 5mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can fit 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), 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 usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room 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.
Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
iRobot 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. 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, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
