The Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. iRobot Roomba 676, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 0.6kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when getting 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 key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roborock S6's height measures 97mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 676, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 5mm.
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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S6's battery power is 5,200mAh
iRobot Roomba 676, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S6 by 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 without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the 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
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 measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. iRobot Roomba 676, at 33W
consumes less power than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 25W. Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
True, many modern robot vacuum cleaners have the capability to mop floors in addition to vacuuming. Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum with mopping function models and Roborock S6 is one of those robot vacuums
Roborock S6 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability 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 iRobot Roomba 676 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 room.
