Conga 7090 vs Roborock S6 MaxV: Common Features
Smart navigation
Both robots have the most precise navigation and mapping system, based on a laser sensor LDS
The laser is used in areas such as engineering, architecture, medicine or aeronautics due to its high precision, and in this case allows robots to map centimeter by centimeter, covering 100% of the surface of the home and leaving no corner uncleaned.
artificial intelligence (AI)
One of the most outstanding aspects of these two devices, and which places them above the competition. In addition to the laser sensor, both include a double camera that, together with its great processing capacity and an object database, allows them detect and identify a wide variety of elements.
When mapping or navigating, The robots mark the objects they find around the house on the app's map, so that the user can view it intuitively.
Various maps
The two robots allow save multiple maps, which is useful whether your home has several floors or if you want to use it to clean different homes.
In the case of the Roborock, it allows you to save up to 4 maps, which is enough in most cases, while the Conga can save up to 10 maps, so that it offers you an immense range of possibilities.
Room cleaning
Both models include this functionality, one of the functions most requested by high-end users, which allows quickly and conveniently choose the room or rooms we want to clean. However, as we will see later, there are differences between them in this section.
Management via app
The protagonists of this review are manageable through an app, which provides great comfort and versatility, since we can control them whenever we want and wherever we are: on the street, at work, in a cafe, etc.
In both models we can configure a large number of parameters: power, water flow, rooms to clean, restricted areas, etc.
In addition, both allow you to thoroughly customize the cleaning, since you can choose between various modes and choose the suction power and/or the water flow for each room (that is, you can, for example, clean the living room in Turbo mode, the bedrooms in Eco mode and the hallway in Normal mode), or the order in which the rooms are cleaned.
In the Conga, It can customize differently for each cleaning plan, while on the S6 MaxV it is customized for all cleanings, by clicking Edit map in the Roborock app.
Also indicate that the Conga 7090 has introduced some interesting news compared to previous models of the brand (and also in comparison with the S6 MaxV), as we will explain later.
Autonomy
The protagonists of this comparison have great autonomy, one of the largest on the market, which, together with the great efficiency in their movements, allows them Clean large surfaces with a single charge.
Furthermore, as is common in high-end robot vacuum cleaners, They have loading and continuation, so if they don't finish, they return to base and then resume the cleaning to conclude it, and they do it intelligently, loading what is necessary to finish the cleaning.
Multifunction robots
Both the Roborock S6 MaxV and the Conga 7090 A.I They are multifunction robots, capable of sweeping, vacuuming, mopping and scrubbing.
Thus, provide a more complete cleaning solution in a single device, allowing you to save time, money and space at home.
Roborock S6 MaxV vs Conga 7090 AI: differences
These two robots have advanced features and offer an excellent user experience, and With any of them you will achieve magnificent results on any surface, obtaining a high degree of cleaning with precision and in less time than other models.
However, there are some differences between them that should be noted:
Power
Although both offer a high level of suction compared to other competing robots, la Conga 7090 is much superior in this section, since it reaches a suction power of up to 10.000 Pascals, thanks to its Cy-Clean cyclonic technology, while the Roborock only reaches up to 2.500, a quarter (which allow you, however, to achieve a great result).
App
Both are among the most complete and configurable on the market, and offer a lot of information about the status of the robot, the cleaning history or the maintenance of consumables.
As well allows you to save more maps (10 compared to 4 for the Roborock), cleaning plans are very convenient, and can also be programmed. For its part, the Roborock S6 MaxV has also included room programming, entering Floor Selection and selecting the desired ones.
Video surveillance
Both robots include, in addition to the laser sensor, a double camera. In the case of the Roborock S6 MaxV, it can be used in remote viewing functions, to take a look at the home in real time.
This feature may seem a little invasive for some users, so It is only activated proactively, if the user does so from the corresponding section, in order to preserve privacy and security. Currently, the Conga 7090 has not implemented this feature, and it is unknown if it will do so in the future.
Autonomy
The two protagonists of this analysis have a very wide autonomy, one of the largest on the market, although the of the Conga It is superior, since it reaches up to 240 minutes compared to the 180 of the Roborock.
Pets
Both robots are suitable for homes with pets due to its suction power, the size of the tank, scrubbing, the possibility of creating restricted areas or even the ability to detect and identify the "waste" they may leave behind.
La Conga 7090 seems more specifically adapted for homes with animals, due to aspects such as the Pet Protect technology (which detects dogs and cats by creating a protection area around them and reducing the noise level so as not to disturb them) or BestFriend Care brush, ideal for collecting your hair, since thanks to its studied design, it minimizes tangles.
Brushes
This is another of the clear differences; Both robots are equipped with a motorized central roller and a side brush that collects dirt towards the center.
The Roborock S6 MaxV has a 5-arm side brush while the Conga opt for the usual 3 arms, both doing a good job. The one from the Conga It disassembles easily, making it easier to clean, while the one on the Roborock comes screwed on, so it requires a little more work.
As for the central brush, the S6 MaxV offers a classic multifunction roller, which combines rubber and bristles to achieve good results on both hard floors and rugs and carpets.
For its part, la Conga 7090 includes three specialized rollers: In addition to the multifunction for all types of surfaces, it brings the anti-tangle BestFriend Care, and the Jalisco microfiber brush, three times more effective in cleaning hard floors, especially when collecting fine dust.
Scrub
These two models have a good scrubbing system, with a large water tank and dosing on three levels., to choose the most appropriate depending on the degree of dirt and the type of floor.
However, la Conga offers a better result thanks to Scrubbing technology, by which the robot makes a back-and-forth movement, back and forth, similar to what people do when scrubbing.
Remote control
Although the application is the best alternative to control the robot, since it allows us to access all the functionalities, la Conga includes a remote control for operation, which can be useful for many users, in cases where there is no Wi-Fi or simply for convenience or immediacy.
Connectivity
Both robots connect easily to Wi-Fi, but la Conga 7090 is compatible with 2,4 and 5 GHz networks, while the Roborock is only compatible with 2,4 GHz networks, something that you should take into account when configuring the connection.
Price
Regarding the price, Both are high-end robots and their price is in line, although more affordable than other alternatives such as Roomba or Deebot (which also have a lower level of benefits).
They move at similar levels, so It will depend on the moment or the offers that may be available. (at the time of this review, the Conga 7090 is a little cheaper).
