iRobot Roomba BATTLE - S9+ VS i6+ Robot Vacuum | 2 POUNDS of Rice in the Testing Room

[@ianoyama9665]

Yay love these types of videos, putting the robots to their limits

[@xraargu6212]

Love my S9 - got it on sale before Christmas. Can't beat it. The higher suction really helps getting dust out of corners it doesn't necessarily touch directly as well as some of that fine dust that sticks to the floors. That said I recently got the Braava M6 and using the dusting mop on that is clutch. I have mostly hardwood and running them one after the other leaves the floors amazingly clean. I use the wet mop as well but just in the kitchen once or twice a week (no kids, no pets, shoes off house, so pretty clean already). Family room in basement is rug but it's soft and the fibers get wrapped around the S9 rollers so I only do that area every couple of weeks.

[@Zcahm]

You need to check the bin on the main robot To make sure the self empty bin left nothing behind this makes the test more accurate

[@AdamsReviews]

I will take a look

[@Zcahm]

@@AdamsReviews just a suggestion for future videos

Do you still have the Bissell SpinWave? Have you received your Neato D8 replacement unit? Hope you can review the Roborock S7!

[@AdamsReviews]

No, they did not reply. when the self empty bin comes out if it ever does.

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@@AdamsReviews the Roborock Self-emptying dock will arrive in the US in the middle of June, most likely June 15th.

[@MrBlueCreeper]

@Creation to invention The S7 is on Amazon already, but man, that Auto-Empty dock is what I'm waiting for Adam to review. I'm hoping that the dock will release on June 15th. Roborock mentioned that it will be released in the middle of June.

[@rlg1976x]

For the next gen Roomba, I'd like them to take a cue from smartphones and incorporate fast charging to reduce the downtime. Fast charging might keep the costs down over a bigger (and expensive) battery.

[@XJaylord]

The plastic rectangle that broke off the i6 wasnt weighed was it?

[@cheapskatetech]

On the i6 it was missing the sliding piece when you weighed it the 2nd time. What is the weight of just the sliding piece?

[@AdamsReviews]

I bet that would barely even register...maybe .1 oz

[@gix40]

S9+ fan have had mine for about a year paired with a M6. What if you did this same test with the S9 on regular suction vs Max to eliminate the battery issue. I agree the battery on max drains as it should utilizing more power. Also the navigation on the roombas has gotten worst since I received them last year. What do you think?

[@RileySlaya]

hey adam, this is not related to irobot, but i just want to know maybe why the neato d8 was acting strange. hope you can get a replacement! it was working just fine on the first test, except for the docking tho.

[@AdamsReviews]

I am going to try something different will update.

[@TacodanStMarys]

Great video. I’d love to see roomba a battle of i6+, 7+, s9+. I’m wanting to upgrade to one of those but only thing is I’m worried about is the battery on the S9+.

[@SylvieTheBagel]

i6 and i7 are the same

[@arnoldm889]

Did you vacuum the area with a traditional vacuum between tests, otherwise the S9 has an advantage with some leftover rice.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes with a dyson

[@carwashreviewsandmore7609]

9:39 yeah that’s why I hate the iRobot bag design

[@Ludwig203]

did you clean the area for the s9+ test? otherwise, it picked 1.8 pounds out of 2.7 (more or less) not out of 2 pounds, remember there was rice left from the first test.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yes, I vacuum the area after each robot goes.

[@djtommy1864]

Hi Adam. I thought of a test that might interest you for a future video. I saw a video on the roborock S7 and in the video the guy shows that the long brush underneath the S7 that sucks up the dirt. Can also work with the S5. But he doesn't do any tests with it. If you can. I would love to see how well the S7 brush works with the S5 to see if it makes any difference. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

[@kylek29]

What, no fight to the death? There can only be one! But seriously, my only suggestion is to incorporate some obstacles in the test room. Tricky (obviously not real) wall patterns and different levels of overhangs. That'll help test the mapping and navigation ability of the bots. There's some bots that map really weird (Wyze as of latest updates) and others that refuse to go under obstacles they can fit under for some reason. As for the successor to the S9+, they really need to bring a bigger battery, and forward obstacle awareness (cam or lidar). Even cheaper Chinese botvacs are starting to show up with that.

[@AdamsReviews]

Agree...there is gonna be a huge "Fight" Soon ;)

[@pamkaur1176]

Can you get a eufy X10 Pro Omni

[@MimicGriphon]

Bought my s9+ for $500 off of ebay. Just had to buy one that had an issue I knew I could fix. (Replaceble parts) Yea, it doesn't have a warranty, but I'm OK with that.

[@xraargu6212]

Soooo....S9 vacuum motor starting making VERY loud noise, and now no suction (or noise). In touch with @iRobot they think it is the cleaning head unit, they are wrong but I will go through the motions with them. Still under warranty so fingers crossed.

[@AdamsReviews]

Goodluck!

[@xraargu6212]

@@AdamsReviews Alright, they sent me the new cleaning head unit and as expected it did not solve the problem. In fact before the cleaning head got here the vacuum motor stopped working altogether. Interesting thing to note is that neither the online support person, nor the person I spoke with on the phone understood that there was a vacuum motor inside the unit. So, when you call support, be prepared that you know the robot better than they do. End result is they are shipping out a new robot.

[@thedoeweb]

Nice video, I think it would help to adjust your overhead camera to face outwards, seems like you are losing 25% of the screen showing a ledge.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yea I saw that..will fix thanks

[@hansielategan969]

The I6 could have run three or nearly four times in the same time frame. The floor would then also be spotless - maybe after a third run. So yea, who is better?

[@JanLeaPetra]

Könneten sie mal i7+ vs j7+ testen?

[@IanB1015]

I’d like to see the i9+ have the better battery like you mentioned but also maybe a less flimsy side brush? I almost wonder how competitive the Roborock and Deebot would be if they had the self empty bin and ditch the mopping feature (nobody needs)

[@IanB1015]

Didn’t mean self empty bin, rather the full bin sensor that the Roomba seems to be the only one to have.

[@AdamsReviews]

iRobot has a patent on the bin sensor...thats why no one else has it. yes mops are useless

[@SylvieTheBagel]

Mops would be useful if more had the spinning mop or an ultrasonic mop.

[@Slider-Man]

I bought and paid for a i6+ on amazon for 340 bucks but they sent me a I7+ lol...is this a normal thing that happens? i confirmed its a I7 by looking underneath and the color and just now in app when setting up it says i7....very weird...im confused why they did this but happy too lol. Posted this on older video but rly wanted u to see this as im waiting for them to be like hey send it back, i can show u on the app what i ordered and what showed up.

[@heraklen]

Would be cool to see Neato D8 do this. Let it run 2 times. Empty it between each run. But yours was broken so I guess we have to wait until you get a replacement.

[@AdamsReviews]

Yea but I think it would error out unless I manually stopped it...even with the large bin it would fill up pretty quickly

[@ricke95126]

Same test the irobot i6 vs Roborock

[@grabberfox_5.0]

I wish I could've kept my S9, but the issues I was having just wasn't worth it. Roborock S7 is replacing it.

[@willberger3063]

Thanks! Great Video! I got the s9+ for $799 and just was not sure if I made the right decision.

[@jameslinmd]

I got mine for $600 and Iove it. I prefer my s9+ over my i7+ on carpets because it offers greater suction power for hair. There is great variation among S9+. The quality control of this model is terrible. I tried three S9+ and decided to keep the current one.

[@AdamsReviews]

for $799 I think you did.

[@willberger3063]

@@jameslinmd s9+ for $600? Great deal! Where did you buy it?

[@jameslinmd]

@@willberger3063 eBay. It was brand new sealed. It's risky but I never have any problems.

[@williamthomas6106]

If you don't need virtual walls, or keep out zones, then I'd say the i3+. Same cleaning power as i6+. Same battery life. Same empty and resume or charge and resume. Same imprint link with the M6 mop. My house is small, so I don't need directed room cleaning as the i3 will clean the entire downstairs in about 45 minutes and entire upstairs in about the same time. And from what I've seen the actual clean mapping accuracy of my i3 is pretty spot on when compared to the map that is created by my M6 mop.. Amazon used acceptable as of 6/11/2021... $283.00

[@xraargu6212]

I got my parents the i3+ and they love it. They just press the button (no chance they are using the app) when they want to start it and it just runs around their entire hard wood floor condo. Thinking that is all I need for the 2nd floor of my house.

[@williamthomas6106]

@@xraargu6212 I had 2 692's which worked just fine for my house. Both floors are small enough to be covered by a "Random bot'. But the 692 is a bit "hard" on furniture, and isn't very good at finding it's way out from underneath a dining room set. Bull, meet china shop. But it least it will be clean. It's something I could have lived with except that I found some i3's (without clean bin) for $167.00 each used. That was too good to pass up. I was half expecting to return them, quite frankly. But I really do like the i3 so much better. Quieter, more refined, and much more "post cleaning" information available from the app. Plus my i3 is better at not getting stuck. The i3 is much better in "low clearance" scenarios and with the dining room chair maze.
