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 determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
iRobot Roomba 698, at 0.6L
has more capacity than the Roborock S6 by 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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. Roborock S6 adjusts its height to match this demand, 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 carrying around. The iRobot Roomba 698, at 3kg
is lighter than the Roborock S6 by 0.6kg. It's advisable 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 properly 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 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Roborock S6's height measures 97mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 698, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 5mm. When choosing 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S6's battery power is 5,200mAh
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of 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 by 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 changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
