First of all the Xiaomi Roborock S6 is a suction robot with wiping function, which has little priority for me. The iRobot Roomba 980 is intended only as a vacuum robot. Both I tested 2 week. Both vacuum robots have a charging station and other accessories included. You can read the technical specifications and details about the functions in every shop and I will spare you here.

The iRobot Roomba 980 never came up the carpet to suck on. Of the Xiaomi Roborock S6 If he notices where he was not yet and drives this area, if it does not work the first time, he tries to get on the open area to suck it. Not always the first time, BUT he can do it! When he's on the rug, he just sucks it off because the area in the app is still open and it was already off.

The  APP is at Xiaomi Roborock S6 more versatile and enjoyable to handle, you can easily set and control much more than the iRobot Roomba 980.

Although the iRobot Roomba 980 looks qualitatively of the case and parts of higher value, but the many advantages, sensor technology and my brief experience with the Xiaomi Roborock S6 weigh much more with me. The suction result for me is the same for both.
