Our Verdict

iRobot Roomba S9

Roborock S6 MaxV

The iRobot Roomba S9 and the Roborock S6 MaxV have different strengths, and you may prefer either one depending on your needs. The iRobot delivers a much better cleaning performance on bare floors as well as low- and high-pile carpets. It uses a sensor to detect areas that need extra cleaning and can automatically adjust the height of its brushroll. However, the S6 Max has better automation. It has a unique 'ReactiveAI' feature intended to detect obstacles and allow the vacuum to avoid them.
