Roborock S7 can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it means that the vacuum is capable to clean most flooring materials without any limitations.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. A 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 desired space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. the Roborock S7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 leaving out those that aren't. Roborock S7 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 i4 Evo has this 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 and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.
No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Roborock S7 is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roborock S7 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important 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 cleaned to maintain the vacuum's performance.
The Roborock S7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S7 by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size 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 thus 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 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 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 S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, 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 space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer 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
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. The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 3h. 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 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 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 valuable addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process. True, many modern robot vacuum cleaners can 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, this enables the vacuum to detect and adjust to all kinds of floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like hardwood to carpeted areas.
