ECOVACS Deebot R98 VS. iRobot Roomba 690

Its height is 10.2 cm, low profile design - it can go under most furniture in your room or apartment.

1615 Sq.ft - Ideal for medium to large rooms

500 pa – very poor suction power for such an expensive robotic vacuum. I’m quite disappointed

With its 5-stage cleaning system which vacuums, mops and dries, no pet hair will be left on the floor or carpet.

The two side long tangle free brushes will clean both wall edges and corners effectively.

90 minutes – not so bad but still it is not the best basing on its price.

240 minutes – standard charging time for most robotic vacuums

Can clean all types of hard floors and medium pile carpets

Covers wide areas, 90 minutes battery run time; it empties its self, creates a map and plans its routes systematically.

After the 90 minutes runtime, the robot will auto dock to recharge the battery for 240 minutes.

After recharging, the robot will go back to where it cleaned last - follow its cleaning map and go ahead to complete the tusk.

It plans its routes very well and moves back-and-fourth while cleaning to ensure no dust is left behind. So it will clean from room to room without getting confused.

With its Obstacle Detection Technology, DEEBOT R98 will avoid stairs and objects on the floor.

69 db – not loud but it makes some little noise.

Using a Smart Navigation Technology, DEEBOT scans the entire floor and plan back-and-forth cleaning path.

This is a multipurpose robotic vacuum cleaner. It can sweep, mop and dry the floor in just a single pass.

Select the Spot Mode when spot cleaning is required. The robot will spin over a specific area until it is totally clean.

When the dustbin is full, the robot dock its self, empty the dustbin and auto resume with its cleaning tusk – starting from where it stopped.

You can operate the device with a Smartphone App, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Use your Smart Phone to define which areas the robot should clean or not. Setting boundaries has become easier.

Wifi Enabled – that is how it manages to connect with Amazon Alexa and the Mobile App.

Create cleaning schedules for some good days.

After setting cleaning schedule, you can monitor the performance or set cleaning modes from anywhere at any time.

When you select the Area cleaning mode, the robot will clean a designated area which we call a ZONE.

Its height is 10.2 cm – not too low but it can still clean under furniture, beds and sofas that are raised above 10.2 cm

2850 mAh - Quite a strong battery

400 ml – not too big. But it can self empty its self. So no worries

Comes with a virtual wall which you can use to stop the robot from entering a specific room.
