How Much Does A Roomba Cost (A Comparison With Other)

Frankly, if we are honest with our final opinion, we all know that what we desire most is the latest gadget rather than the best.

In the case of Vacuum Cleaners, the choice for the latest can become slightly confusing when cleanliness becomes the primary selection criteria.

The latest vacuum cleaner may not necessarily be as good as a few year old version despite all the stunning additive features.

The iRobot Roomba series has been on the market for a very long time now.

Roomba has inspired many tech companies to create their line of advanced robot Vacuum cleaners.

Feature Comparison of Roomba with Other Robot Vacuum

Roomba primarily has robot vacuum cleaner models only.

However, in the case of Shark Ion and Eufy, they also have other models like Stick, canister, handheld models, etc. available.

Roomba was introduced in the market exclusively as a Robot vacuum, so it is not surprising at all that it does not have any other variation to choose from.

Feature Comparison of Roomba

Battery Life –

The Roomba series has a battery life of 60 to 90 minutes in comparison to Neato Botvac which has a very long Battery life of up to 130 minutes and Eufy Robovac which can last up to 100 minutes.

Maintenance Cost –

The maintenance cost of Shark Ion is about 100 to 115 $ annually while it is 75 to 90 $ in the case of Neato and 50 to 70 $ in the case of Eufy.

Roomba is undoubtedly the most hassle-free and low maintenance Robot Vacuum in the industry as it costs about 30$ annually for maintenance of any of the Roomba models.

Cleaning Technology –

Three modes of deep cleaning are the primary feature of the Roomba series which makes it the best in the field.

The Roomba series has an Autovac deep cleaning with a 5x vacuum capacity. This makes them a reliable cleaner, especially in houses with pets.

Eufy and Neato vac cannot collect fine danders and pet hairs as well as the Roomba series.

Virtual Wall Detection –

All the Roomba models are equipped with Virtual wall barrier detection.

The Effy Series does not have this feature at all though Neato Botvac has a few models installed with this additional feature.

Charging Time –

The NeatoVac models need about 120 minutes to 150 minutes of Charging time while the Roomba models need 180 to 200 minutes to load completely.

Home Return and Autostart –

Almost all the Robot Vaccum cleaners have the automatic home return option available whenever the charge is depleted; however, only a few models restart and resume work after completion of charging.

Roomba 900 series auto resumes work while the 600 and 700 series do not have this feature.

Neato BotVac uses RPS and Boundary marker technology for room detection while Roomba uses the Lighthouse Technology for room detection and differentiation thus making Roomba a better choice than Neato Botvac.

Phone and Remote Controlled Operation –

While the remote-controlled operation is not available in most Roomba models, it is present in Shark Ion as well as Eufy and Neato Vac.

Smartphone operability is possible through Roomba Vacuum cleaners but not in the case of Eufy or Neato models.
