iRobot Roomba S9 vs Roborock S7 MaxV

The Roborock S7 MaxV is more advanced than the iRobot Roomba S9. Both are high-end robot vacuums, but the Roborock has a LIDAR mapping sensor that allows it to easily navigate in the dark, as well as twin front-facing cameras that let it spot and avoid hazards in real-time. The Roborock also has an ultrasonic mopping function to scrub away dried-on dirt. However, the iRobot could be a better option for some pet owners. Its HEPA filter is more effective in sealing in fine allergens like pet dander, and it does a significantly better job cleaning up pet hair on carpeting. While you can bundle both with self-emptying stations, the Roborock's top trim docking station is more advanced, as it not only empties its dustbin but also cleans its mopping pads and refills its water tank. However, it's very pricey.
