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 size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied.
Roborock S7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means 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 indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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 battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Roborock S7's operating time is 3h
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S7 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.
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. The iRobot Roomba i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 by 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 often measured in watts (W) and changes 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 can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, but 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.
That's right, 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 S7 is one of those robot vacuums
Roborock S7 has carpet detection, which allows the vacuum to identify and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it moves from hard floors like tile to carpets.
