Roborock S6 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end models may give longer warranties.
The iRobot Roomba i3, 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. The Roborock S6's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
iRobot Roomba i3, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S6 with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary 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 moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact.
Roborock S6 weighs 3.6kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. iRobot Roomba i3, at 4.3kg
weighs more than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 0.7kg. It's advisable to consider 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, 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
iRobot Roomba i3, at 337mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S6 by 13mm. 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 of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i3, at 92mm
measures less in height than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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
iRobot Roomba i3, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S6 by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Roborock S6 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Roborock S6's operating time is 3h
iRobot Roomba i3, 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. 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 can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
That's right, 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 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 area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. 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 i3 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 likelihood of the robot vacuum getting trapped while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba i3 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 becoming stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled 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 during cleaning. Roborock S6 has a route mapping feature which enables it to generate a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes.
This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba i3 to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and reduce the possibility of missing certain spots. Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum states to provide you information on the different states of the vacuum.
Roborock S6 supports this feature
iRobot Roomba i3 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 having 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 i3 is essential in mitigating accidents and protecting the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle. Roborock S6 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set certain days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start working.
This feature in robot vacuums is particularly useful in keeping a consistently clean home with little or no manual intervention. iRobot Roomba i3 too allows scheduling.
