Where are the differences?

The Roomba S9+ robot vacuum cleaner differs a few points from the Roborock Q7 Max+. Let's go into the differences in detail.

release date (release)

The age of the two vacuum cleaner robots is of course interesting in the comparison. After all, there are changes in technology every year. There are 2 years between the releases of the two models. The iRobot Roomba S9+ was introduced in the year 2020. Thus the Roborock Q7 Max+ is newer from the year 2022.

Which robot vacuum cleaner is falcher?

When it comes to the technical specifications of a robot vacuum cleaner, height is especially important. The height of the vacuum robot is interesting in comparison. At 8.7 cm, the iRobot Roomba S9+ is built more hawkishly and thus performs better. The flatter the robot is, the better it can clean under cabinets, the couch or other furniture. The Roborock Q7 Max+ is higher with a device height of 9.6 cm.

Vacuum power comparison

The suction power depends on the maximum suction force. This is specified in Pascal (short: pa). In this point there is a difference in the comparison iRobot Roomba S9+ vs Roborock Q7 Max+. The Roborock Q7 Max+ offers higher suction power in comparison with 4200 pa. This makes it the better vacuum robot in this point. However, the suction power is lower depending on the suction level. The maximum suction power is always indicated. With the iRobot Roomba S9+ you get a suction power of 2200 pa.

Does the battery performance differ?

The iRobot Roomba S9+ has a lower battery life than 1,5 hours with the Roborock Q7 Max+ in comparison. The longer battery life means the Roborock Q7 Max+ has to return to the charging station less often, allowing it to clean longer at a stretch. This also allows the model to vacuum more quad meters at a time.

What can the apps do?

Numerous vacuum robots can now be programmed and also controlled via apps. Adjustable are, for example, premises, maps as well as running times. Some suction robots can then be started conveniently on the go. For both vacuum robots, the iRobot Roomba S9+ and the Roborock Q7 Max+, there is an App. The two vacuum robots are addressed and programmed with different apps. The app for the iRobot Roomba S9+ is called iRobot HOME. The name for the app of the Roborock Q7 Max+ was Roborock. Both vacuum robots allow zone cleaning via the app. Thus, only certain areas are cleaned without having to set up additional obstacles.

Voice control

Many robotic vacuum cleaners can now be controlled by voice assistants, allowing for convenient operation.

The two vacuum robots can be operated with Amazon's Alexa voice control. Both the iRobot Roomba S9+ and the Roborock Q7 Max+ are controllable via Google's voice assistants (Google Assistant).

Is there a wipe function?

In addition to the pure suction function, some vacuum robots also have an integrated wiping function. This combines two devices in one and the cleaning performance is significantly increased - not to mention the time saved. The models are then called suction-wiping robots.

Compared to the iRobot Roomba S9+, the Roborock Q7 Max+ can not only vacuum the floor but also mop it.

The water tank of the Roborock Q7 Max+ can be filled with 350 ml.

Which vacuum motor has the larger collection tank?

Since the collection bin of the iRobot Roomba S9+ with 550 ml has a larger capacity compared to the Roborock Q7 Max+, it can hold more dirt. Thus, the dust chamber of the Roomba S9+ needs to be emptied less frequently. The Roborock Q7 Max+ has a dust bin with 470 ml capacity.

However, it should be noted that both vacuum cleaners from the comparison include a suction station for self-draining. This means that the dirt collection bin of the iRobot Roomba S9+ and the Roborock Q7 Max+ is automatically emptied after the cleaning process during recharging. For you, this means that you will need to empty the dust chamber from the vacuum cleaners themselves less often.
