Roborock S6 cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
Roborock S6 has an obstacle sensor, this 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 Roomba i3 has an obstacle 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 and 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 essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many 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 controlled using voice commands. The iRobot Roomba i3 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 i3.
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. iRobot Roomba i3 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 - 2 years, however some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods.
iRobot Roomba i3, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S6. When thinking of buying 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, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied.
iRobot Roomba i3, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S6 by only 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 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 generally 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 take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing 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 the robot vacuum can properly 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 space
The iRobot Roomba i3, at 337mm
measures less in width than the Roborock S6 with a difference of 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 measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba i3, 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 typically 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 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent 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
The 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. 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
True, many modern robot vacuum cleaners have the capability to mop floors in addition to vacuuming. These 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, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
Both the iRobot Roomba i3 and Roborock S6 have mobile application support, this enhances the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the chance of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S6 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba i3 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 eliminate the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning. 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 an important feature as it enables robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba i3 to adapt to the layout of your space to work more efficiently and reduce the chance of missing certain spots. Voice prompts refer to audible messages that the vacuum emits to give you information on the different states of the vacuum.
Roborock S6 has this feature
iRobot Roomba i3 also supports voice prompts, this feature can be useful for you who prefer 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, hence its safety during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba i3 is essential in avoiding accidents and protecting 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 enables you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to automatically start cleaning your space.
The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is specifically useful in keeping a consistently clean space without the need for manual intervention. iRobot Roomba i3 too can be scheduled.
