Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is stated as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the robot vacuum is capable to clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
iRobot Roomba 671 can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, giving effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. Roborock S6 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 is one of them.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S6 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

The Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods. The iRobot Roomba 671, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S6. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
The Roborock S6's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The iRobot Roomba 671, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies 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. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
The Roborock S6 can adjust its height to match this requirement, 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 make sure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the iRobot Roomba 671 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.
Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. iRobot Roomba 671, at 2.3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 1.3kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock S6 has a width of 350mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba 671, at 340mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S6 by 10mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock S6's height measures 97mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 671, at 90mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 7mm. 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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S6's battery power is 5,200mAh
The iRobot Roomba 671, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial 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 the Roborock S6 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Roborock S6's operating time is 3h
iRobot Roomba 671, at 1.5h
spends less time than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 1.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roborock S6 has a power consumption of 58W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
iRobot Roomba 671, at 33W
consumes less power than the Roborock S6 by 25W. Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets. That's right, most modern robot vacuum cleaners have the capability to mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum and mop models and Roborock S6 is one of those robot vacuums
Both Roborock S6 and iRobot Roomba 671 can mop floors, the mopping function in robot vacuum cleaners is a convenient way to maintain clean and polished hard floors without manual mopping. Roborock S6 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 671 or Roborock S6 If you value the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your space.
Roborock S6 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. Both the iRobot Roomba 671 and Roborock S6 have mobile application support, this enhances the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Virtual barriers are 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. Roborock S6 has a route mapping feature that enables it to create 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 enables robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 671 to adapt to the layout of your space to clean more efficiently and reduce the risk of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum states to give you information on the different states of the vacuum.
Roborock S6 supports this feature
The iRobot Roomba 671 also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as Roborock S6 come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is designed to save 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 iRobot Roomba 671 is key in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
