carries less dirt than the Roborock S6 by only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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.
Roborock S6 can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. The Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. iRobot Roomba 676, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 by 0.6kg.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roborock S6 has a width of 350mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively 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 space
The iRobot Roomba 676, 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.

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 measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S6's battery power is 5,200mAh
The iRobot Roomba 676, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S6 by 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 the Roborock S6 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 S6's operating time is 3h
The iRobot Roomba 676, at 2h
spends less time than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 1h
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 changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. iRobot Roomba 676, at 33W
consumes less power than the Roborock S6 by 25W. Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
True, many modern robot vacuum cleaners can 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
Roborock S6 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
