Roborock S6 can clean all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is capable to clean flooring materials without much significant issues.
iRobot Roomba 692 can also clean all floor types, meaning it is built to be versatile, giving best 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 obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba 692 has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas 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 built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The iRobot Roomba 692 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. The iRobot Roomba 692 is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum.
The Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods. The iRobot Roomba 692, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S6. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
Roborock S6's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. Roborock S6 adjusts 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. The iRobot Roomba 692, at 3.5kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 by 0.1kg. It's important to consider 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly 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 692, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 20mm. 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 an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 692, at 93mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 by 4mm. 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 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 692, 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 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 time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
Roborock S6's operating time is 3h
iRobot Roomba 692, 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 measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
The iRobot Roomba 692, 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. That's right, most modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
These 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, 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 cleaning cycle. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 692 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 home. Roborock S6 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the iRobot Roomba 692 and Roborock S6 have mobile application support, mobile apps enhance the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum becoming trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba 692 and Roborock S6 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further reduce the chances of becoming stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are set up and managed through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. Both Roborock S6 and iRobot Roomba 692 support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for homes 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 schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum emits to give you information on the different states of the vacuum.
Roborock S6 supports this feature
iRobot Roomba 692 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 "anti-fall" feature. This feature is intended to prevent 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 692 is essential in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage.
