Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all types of floors, this means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much significant issues.
Roborock S6 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba 698 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it 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 of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S6 is one of them.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent 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 implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The iRobot Roomba 698 can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum.
Roborock S6 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. iRobot Roomba 698 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods.
iRobot Roomba 698, at 2 year
has a longer warranty period than the Roborock S6 by 1 year. 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 vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied.
The iRobot Roomba 698, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based 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 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 ensure 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 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 getting a model, and that's 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 a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
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 considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 698, 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 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 important as it 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 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
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 often measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. True, most modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming.
These 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 concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 698 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 home. Roborock S6 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the iRobot Roomba 698 and Roborock S6 have mobile application support, mobile apps enhance your experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming stuck during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, 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 can help further eliminate the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are set up and managed through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup 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, the ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles.
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 enhances 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 space to work more efficiently and minimize the chance of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum emits to provide you alerts on the different states of the vacuum. Roborock S6 supports this feature
Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as Roborock S6 come equipped with an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is designed to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, ensuring its safety while cleaning.
This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba 698 is key in mitigating accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind knowing that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle. Roborock S6 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start working.
The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is particularly useful in keeping a consistently clean space without the need for manual intervention. iRobot Roomba 698 too allows scheduling.
