The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 694's battery power is 2,100mAh
Roborock S7, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba 694 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. 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 be recharged. iRobot Roomba 694's operating time is 3h
Roborock S7, at 3h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 694
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
iRobot Roomba 694 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. Roborock S7, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 694 by 2h. 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.
The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. iRobot Roomba 694 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. Roborock S7, at 68W
consumes more power than the iRobot Roomba 694 by 35W.
