Roborock S7 cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms inside your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all types of floors, this means that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean most flooring materials without much significant issues.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, giving best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. The vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, e.g. the Roborock S7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces 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 way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba i4 Evo has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S7 supports this feature. 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 S7 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo 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 your robot vacuum. The Roborock S7 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum.
Roborock S7 has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuum cleaners varies depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, having only 3
has less modes than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning floors. The Roborock S7 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roborock S7. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. 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 keep up the vacuum's performance.
The Roborock S7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S7 by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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 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 i4 Evo 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 important as it 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
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S7 by 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 the Roborock S7 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 S7's operating time is 3h
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, 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 i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 by only 3h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins 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 can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. This feature is 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. Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process. True, most 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 detect and adapt to all kinds of floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it moves from hard floors like hardwood to carpets. This feature is designed to improve cleaning performance and also ensure that it adjusts its settings right when cleaning carpeted areas. Robot vacuums with a carpet detection feature like the Roborock S7 and iRobot Roomba i4 Evo use sensors to detect surfaces, enabling them to make required adjustments for efficient cleaning.
