It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 621 has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba 676, at 340mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba 621. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba 621's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The iRobot Roomba 676, at 92mm
has the same height as that of iRobot Roomba 621.
When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 621's battery power is 4,500mAh
The iRobot Roomba 676, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba 621 by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 621 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba 621's operating time is 1.5h
The iRobot Roomba 676, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 621 by 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 621 has a charge time of 3h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle.
The iRobot Roomba 676, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba 621 with a difference of only 1h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
iRobot Roomba 621 has a power consumption of 33W, power is often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The iRobot Roomba 676, at 33W
has the same power consumption as that of iRobot Roomba 621. Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
