Our Verdict

Roborock S6

iRobot Roomba S9

The Roborock S6 and the iRobot Roomba S9 are somewhat evenly matched but for different reasons. The Roborock is slightly easier to maintain, incurs marginally lower recurring costs, has a longer overall battery life, and is more effective with clearing large debris, like cereal, on bare floors. It also has a mop attachment to deal with wet messes. Conversely, the iRobot performs better on carpeted surfaces, has a slightly larger dirt compartment, and charges almost twice as fast.
