アイロボッ ルンバ 692 対 アイロボッ ルンバ i4+

Roomba 692 vs i4+: Low vs High Suction Power

The Roomba 692 vs i4+ are functional robot vacuum cleaners with modern design and intelligent technology. Besides, the 692 is a standard medium-performance robot, while the i4+ is a premium robotic vacuum cleaner with the exceptional build quality and advanced technology. However, the i4+ boasts a superior three-stage cleaning system, better navigation, a self-emptying base, a neat row cleaning pattern, and better accessories.

Suction and dustbin capacity

A look at the suction power in the Roomba 692 vs i4+ vacuum cleaners reveals that the i4+ offers 10X power-lifting suction that vacuums up larger debris, dirt, and hairs from floors. In contrast, the 692 model has a power-lifting suction of 5X which handles small dirt, dust, debris, and furs. However, the i4+ iRobot has a larger 0.5-liter dustbin that holds more dust, debris, and hair compared to the 0.3-liter dustbin in the 692 iRobot model. What makes the i4+ robot stand out is the clean base automatic dirt disposal that allows the vacuum cleaner to empty itself for up to 60 days.

Using area

After testing the Roomba 692 vs i4+ robots, I noticed that the iRobot 692 is designed for smaller apartments and homes and sports a lithium-ion battery with a battery life of 90 minutes that enables the robot to clean homes up to 1,000 square feet. The iRobot i4+ model, on the other hand, is intended for larger homes and comes with a lithium-ion battery with a 75-minute power duration that enables the robot to clean homes up to 2000 square feet.

Moreover, the Roomba 692 and i4+ run the iRobot OS, which enables them to learn your cleaning patterns and make cleaning suggestions. You may set the robot to clean when you leave the house and stop before you get back using the iRobot Home app. Also, with the iRobot Home app and Google or Alexa voice assistant, you can clean your home using voice commands. Yet, the 692 mapping system versus the i4+ mapping system reveals that the 692 lacks advanced mapping capabilities and tends to clean homes randomly. Besides, the Roomba i4+ robot boasts the iAdapt 2.0 navigation with vSLAM technology, allowing the robot to create a map of your home before its first cleaning session. While the 692 features the iAdapt, which maps specific cleaning regions before each cleaning session.

Noise level

The noise level of the Roomba 692 vs i4+ is essential, especially if you have sensitive ears. The Roomba 692 has a noise level of 64.3 decibels on bare floor and 63.7 decibels on low-pile carpet. Also, the robot is relatively quiet and would not disrupt or distract you if you work while the robot cleans. Conversely, the i4+ has a noise level of 65.3 decibels on bare floor and 64.7 decibels on low-pile carpet. But, the i4+ comes with a powerful motor, and hence it’s slightly louder than the 692 robots but not loud enough to disrupt your conversation with family or friends. However, you can avoid the robot’s noise and distraction by using the cleaning schedule feature on the iRobot Home app.

Carpet cleaning

When you compare the carpet cleaning capabilities of the Roomba 692 and the i4+ robots, you notice they have different performance capabilities. The 692 is designed with a three-stage cleaning system and multi-surface brushes that perform better on hard floors and low-pile carpets. Yet, the robotic vacuum cleaner has trouble cleaning deep-pile carpets or carpets with long fibers. In contrast, the i4+ is designed with a high-efficiency particle anti-allergy filter (HEPA) that captures 99% of dust mites, pollen, and other allergens trapped in carpets.

The robot also comes with AeroForce three-stage cleaning with tangle-resistant rollers and brushes to clean carpets better. The i4+ also sports an adaptive cleaning pattern that handles different dirt and debris in your home. In addition, both vacuum cleaners feature different cleaning modes, such as spot cleaning, edge cleaning, and auto cleaning, to tackle other stains and dirt.
