The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba 630's operating time is 2h
The Xiaomi Mi Robot, at 2.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 630 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 630 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 Xiaomi Mi Robot, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 630 by 1h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.

consumes more power than the iRobot Roomba 630 with a difference of 22W.
Lower power consumption can be more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, however it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets. iRobot Roomba 630 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum getting stuck during cleaning.
Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 630 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to navigate around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, however the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. Both the Xiaomi Mi Robot and iRobot Roomba 630 have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further reduce the chances of getting stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning.
