It is also more efficient in charging, is able to maneuver around obstacles like electrical cords, and performs better both on bare floors and on high-pile rugs. The software that comes with it offers a suite of more advanced automation features. The Roomba 694 isn't as effective as the Shark IQ robotic cleaner, that has a larger dirt compartment, lasts for longer on a single charge, and is equipped with physical boundary strips that block it from certain areas.
