Roborock S7 can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is stated as being able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is capable to clean several flooring materials without much significant issues.
The robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, for example the Roborock S7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Roborock S7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and the Roborock S7 supports this feature. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S7 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus 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 S7 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 i1 Plus is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. The Roborock S7 has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies depending on the design of the robot vacuum. The Roborock S7 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end models may give longer warranty periods.
The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S7. 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 S7 has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and washed to maintain the vacuum's performance.
The Roborock S7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied.
Roborock S7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S7 by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Roborock S7 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roborock S7's operating time is 3h
The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S7 by only 1.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Roborock S7 has a charge time of 5h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 2.5h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roborock S7 has a power consumption of 68W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 28W
consumes less power than the Roborock S7 by 40W.
Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur. Roborock S7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
True, many modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming. Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum and mop models and Roborock S7 is one of those robot vacuums
Roborock S7 has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adapt to different floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpets. Roborock S7 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 i1 Plus and Roborock S7 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 designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming trapped while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roborock S7 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus and Roborock S7 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 becoming stuck while cleaning. Virtual barriers are set up and managed via 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 S7 and iRobot Roomba i1 Plus support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is mostly useful for homes with areas where the robot vacuum may become stuck.
