Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms inside a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
Roborock S6 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 supports this feature.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing 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 implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. The iRobot Roomba 698 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 iRobot Roomba 698.
Roborock S6 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The iRobot Roomba 698 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 typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods.
iRobot Roomba 698, at 2 year
has a longer warranty period than the Roborock S6 by 1 year. When considering 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 determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the Roborock S6 by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary 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. The Roborock S6 can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact.
The Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. iRobot Roomba 698, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 by 0.6kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, and that's 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 the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 340mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 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 measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 698, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 by 5mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can fit 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. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S6's battery power is 5,200mAh
The operating time of the Roborock S6 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 698, 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 changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. True, 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 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 area 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 698 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, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the iRobot Roomba 698 and Roborock S6 have mobile application support, this enhances your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting trapped during 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 varies among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba 698 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 eliminate the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning. Both Roborock S6 and iRobot Roomba 698 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 that enables it to generate a map of your space and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 698 to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and minimize the chance of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts refer to notifications that the vacuum emits to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. Roborock S6 has this feature
Most robot vacuum cleaners such as Roborock S6 come equipped with 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 during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba 698 is key in avoiding accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle. Roborock S6 has this convenient feature, which enables you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start working.
The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is specifically useful in keeping a consistently clean home without the need for manual intervention. iRobot Roomba 698 too allows scheduling.
