Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
Roomba 676 aslo cleans all floor types, this means that it too is designed to be versatile, providing effective cleaning performance on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. Roborock S6 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roomba 676 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 supports this feature. 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. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S6 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The Roomba 676 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. The Roborock S6 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. Roomba 676 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum.
The Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, warranty periods for robot vacuums typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranty periods. Roomba 676, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S6. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important 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 indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied. Roomba 676, at 0.35L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 0.15L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the size 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 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 ensure the brushes make good contact. Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Roomba 676, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 by 0.6kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the 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, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roborock S6's height measures 97mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The Roomba 676, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 by 5mm.
When choosing 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 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
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 would like 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 be recharged. Roborock S6's operating time is 3h
The Roomba 676, at 2h
spends less time than the Roborock S6 by only 1h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Roomba 676, at 33W
consumes less power than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 25W. Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, but 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
Roborock S6 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. You may want to consider buying either the Roomba 676 or Roborock S6 If you prefer 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, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roomba 676 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 chance of the robot vacuum getting trapped while cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the Roomba 676 and Roborock S6 have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning.
Both Roborock S6 and Roomba 676 support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck. Roborock S6 has a route mapping feature which enables it to generate a map of your space and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically.
Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum emits to give you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. Roborock S6 has this feature
The Roomba 676 also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as Roborock S6 come having an "cliff detection" feature.
This feature is intended to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, thus its safety while cleaning. This safety feature that is also available on the Roomba 676 is essential in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle.
