Today in our duel of the titans We face three of the most interesting robots on the market: The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, Roomba i7 and Roborock S7, three machines that combine efficiency and comfort to obtain the best result with minimal effort on the part of the user.
On the one hand we have the Roomba i7, one of the most successful robots from the American company iRobot; and on the other hand, two Chinese models belonging to two of the most powerful and appreciated brands in the segment: the versatile Roborock S7 and the new Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, a model in which the Asian brand shows its full potential.
If you want to know more details about any of these models, we invite you to visit our individual analyses.

Common features
These three models share some characteristics (some of them, with nuances, which we will discuss later). In any caseBy purchasing one of these three machines, you will have a high-performance robot, with:
Smart navigation with room mapping
The navigation of the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, the Roomba i7 and the Roborock S7 is intelligent. These models map the home and know at all times where they are, where they have passed and where they have not, which allows them move in an orderly, fluid and fast way, covering 100% of the home and finishing in less time than other robots with less advanced systems.
Wi-Fi connectivity and app management
the three models They can connect to Wi-Fi and be managed through a mobile application; This provides great comfort and versatility, since we can control them whenever we want and wherever we are.
Using the app allows you to access a wide variety of functions, such as cleaning of rooms or specific areas, or the creation of restricted areas which the robot will not access (the room where a baby sleeps, the pet feeder, etc.), program the robot so that it works the days and hours we want, and many others.
In addition, all three models can also be controlled through voice commands.
effective cleaning
The three robots in this duel of titans achieve high efficiency in cleaning, combining good suction power with effective brushes on all types of terrain; However, there are differences between them that we will comment on in the analysis by characteristics.
automatic emptying
The Roomba i7, the Roborock S7 and the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro are compatible with a self-emptying base, a system that provides maximum comfort and hygiene.
The automatic emptying base is a kind of vacuum cleaner, with a bag inside, into which the robot empties the contents of its internal tank when returning to the base. This way, we avoid one of the most cumbersome tasks in robot maintenance, emptying your tank.
The bags have a capacity for several weeks (as an estimate, about two months, depending on how they are used) and In addition to the comfort it provides, it is an ideal system for people with allergies, by avoiding the clouds of dust that are generated when emptying a tank.
Comfort and hygiene
Yeedi Vac 2 Pro vs Roomba i7 vs Roborock S7
Once we have seen the similarities, we are going to further analyze the characteristics of each one, so that you can assess which one is most interesting to you.
Suction power
All three models show good suction capacity, but there are significant differences between them:
Both the Roborock S7 and Yeedi Vac 2 Pro automatically increase power when placed on carpet (the Roomba does not), improving cleaning on any surface with total comfort for the user.
Brushes
All three models have a single side brush, since by having intelligent navigation, they always know how they are oriented, where they have passed and where they have not, so they do not need to have two like other less sophisticated models.
As for the central brush, these three machines offer a different system than most robots. vacuum cleaners to achieve greater efficiency and comfort:
Advanced navigation
These three robots have advanced navigation, which allows them to reach a greater efficiency in cleaning (going through the entire home in an orderly and systematic manner) and greater efficiency, moving quickly and fluidly to finish in less time.
Room mapping
The technology used is different in the three cases:
In this section, therefore, The Roomba i7, even doing well, falls short of the other two models.
Another notable aspect in this section is that The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has a noticeably smaller profile, its height is lower than that of the other two robots, so it is easier to get under furniture or sofas.
Autonomy
In the autonomy section there are also notable differences, leaving the Roomba i7 quite behind in relation to the other two robots. The American model only has 75 minutes of autonomy, while the Roborock S7 reaches up to 180 and the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro up to 240 minutes, one of the longest on the market.
Yes, The three machines in this duel of the titans have loading and continuation, so if they don't finish, they return to base to charge and then resume cleaning where they left off.
Scrub
This is a feature included in the Roborock S7 and Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, but not the Roomba i7, so the first two provide a more complete cleaning of the home.
In the scrubbing section, both the Roborock S7 and the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro achieve better results than other multifunction robots on the market, including:
The Roborock S7 includes sonic scrubbing, with a scrubbing module that vibrates up to 3.000 times per minute to "break up" dirt.
In the case of the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, it includes vibrating scrubbing, in which the entire plate moves from one side to the other, at a speed of 480 times per minute (it doesn't move that fast, but the entire plate vibrates, not just the mop, so the result is similar).
Price
As for the price, although it depends on the offers that may be available at any given time, The Roomba i7 is the most expensive of the three models, the Roborock S7 is in the middle and the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is the most affordable in this duel of titans, offering a very interesting quality-price ratio.
Conclusions
In conclusion, After years leading the market, Roomba has fallen behind other alternatives, like in this case Yeedi or Roborock. The North American robot has a lower level of performance and its price is higher, making models such as the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro and the Roborock S7 more interesting.
Between these two, The Roborock has laser navigation and the Yeedi has a camera + 3D light and both have a magnificent scrubbing system, although the Roborock has a higher price.
