Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this implies that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean flooring materials without much limitations.
iRobot 960 Roomba aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing effective cleaning results 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 way, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the iRobot 960 Roomba has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, making it possible 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 found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the 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 means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
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. Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. The iRobot 960 Roomba, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S6.
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 indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. iRobot 960 Roomba, 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 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 can adjust 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. Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
The iRobot 960 Roomba, at 4kg
weighs more than the Roborock S6 by 0.4kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the 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, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The iRobot 960 Roomba, at 350mm
has the same width as that of Roborock S6.
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 a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
iRobot 960 Roomba, at 91mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 6mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 iRobot 960 Roomba, at mAh2,600
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 room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. 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 960 Roomba, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 1.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to 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 960 Roomba, at 30W
consumes less power than the Roborock S6 by 28W.
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 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
Both Roborock S6 and iRobot 960 Roomba can mop floors, the mopping function in robot vacuum cleaners is a convenient way to maintain clean and polished hard floors without manual mopping.
Roborock S6 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. You may want to consider buying either the iRobot 960 Roomba 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 remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the iRobot 960 Roomba 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 eliminate the likelihood 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 trapped, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models.
Both the iRobot 960 Roomba and Roborock S6 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further reduce the chances of becoming stuck during cleaning. These virtual barriers are set up and managed through 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 960 Roomba support virtual barriers, the ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for homes with areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles.
Roborock S6 has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances the vacuum's ability to clean effectively and systematically. Route mapping is an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the iRobot 960 Roomba to adapt to the layout of your space to work more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots.
Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum emits to give you information on the different states of the vacuum. Roborock S6 supports this feature
The iRobot 960 Roomba also supports voice prompts, this feature is useful for you who like audible notifications or users who have visual impairments. Modern robot vacuum cleaners such as Roborock S6 come equipped with an "anti-fall" feature.
