iRobot Roomba e5 vs iRobot Roomba 692

Roomba e5 vs 692: Low vs High Suction Force

The Roomba E5 vs 692 are vacuum cleaners designed to clean hardwood floors, carpets, and other surfaces. However, the E5 features a motor with three times more suction force than the 692. Both models have an automatic recharging feature and a 90-minute run time, but they don't have an auto-resume capability for when the robot runs out of power while cleaning. The iRobot E5 model boasts a HEPA filter that traps small and harmful particles such as pollen, dust mites, and smoke; but the 692 robot lacks this feature.

Suction and dustbin capacity

After testing the iRobot Roomba E5 vs 692 robot models, I observed that the E5 has a suction force of 1700 Pa. When compared to the 692 model, which has a suction force of 600 Pa, the suction force effortlessly removes difficult stains, grime, and smoke from carpets and hard floors, providing a thorough clean. The iRobot 692 and E5 models also feature a 3-stage cleaning system that employs the suction force and brushes in the robot to remove dirt and dust while vacuuming. The Roomba 692 vs E5 robot models also come with dual multi-surface and edge-sweeping brushes to clean your home’s wall edges, hair, and debris. Furthermore, the E5 robot sports a more significant 0.5-liter dustbin capacity than the 692 robot model with a dustbin capacity of 0.3-liter.

Using area

When you compare the usage area of the iRobot 692 vs e5, you’ll notice that they have different maximums in a single battery charge. The 692 model has a using area of 1000 square feet while the E5 model has a using area of 1600 square feet hence cleaning more area with a single charge. Yet, the area of both robot vacuum cleaners varies depending on the level of debris or dirt, the type of surface being cleaned, and the age of the robot’s battery. Moreover, the iRobot Roomba 692 vs E5 robots boasts Dirt Detect Sensors that enable the robotic cleaners to scan and target dirt and debris in your home for effective cleaning. The Roomba 692 model doesn’t offer digital mapping; it relies on Dirt Sensors to move around your home. In contrast, the E5 is a versatile vacuum cleaner that uses iAdapt 2.0 Navigation Technology to navigate and adapt to the layout of your home.

Noise level

The iRobot 692 has a noise level of 58 decibels, versus the iRobot E5 robot model, which has 65 decibels. However, the vacuum cleaner’s noise level varies depending on the type of surface cleaned and the level of debris and dirt. Also, the noise level depends on the power setting and the mode of the iRobot models. Overall, the Roomba E5 is louder, while the Roomba 692 is quieter and may be suitable for a calm cleaning experience.

Carpet cleaning

The Roomba 692 vs Roomba E5 have different carpet cleaning capabilities thanks to their 3-stage cleaning system. These robots use multi-surface brushes, edge-sweeping brushes, and high suction force to remove dirt and debris from carpets while vacuuming your home. However, the Roomba 692 is less powerful than the Roomba E5 model, which offers a higher suction power, tangle-free multi-surface rubber brushes, and a HEPA filter that traps 99% of pet allergens, pollen, and pollutants.
