has more modes than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces. The iRobot Roomba 770 has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end brands may offer longer warranty periods. iRobot Roomba 981, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba 770.
When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba 770's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. iRobot Roomba 981, at 0.5L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba 770
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. The iRobot Roomba 770 can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to make sure the brushes make good contact. The iRobot Roomba 770 weighs 3.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
iRobot Roomba 981, at 4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 0.2kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba 770 has a width of 353mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba 981, at 351mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 2mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba 770's height measures 91mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
The iRobot Roomba 981, at 92mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 1mm. 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 operating time of the iRobot Roomba 770 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba 770's operating time is 2h
The iRobot Roomba 981, at 2h
has the same operating time as the iRobot Roomba 770
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba 770 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 981, at 3h
has the same charge time as the iRobot Roomba 770.
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 is ready for 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 770 has a power consumption of 30W, power is measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
iRobot Roomba 770 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration 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 designed to reduce the likelihood of the robot vacuum becoming trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 770 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models.
Both the iRobot Roomba 981 and iRobot Roomba 770 have the "anti-stuck" feature, but clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums helps to further eliminate the chances of getting stuck while cleaning. These virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to enable you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. Auto-docking is a feature that refers to the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction.
Both iRobot Roomba 981 and iRobot Roomba 770 support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it makes sure that the robot vacuum maintains its charge and readiness for cleaning without requiring manual intervention. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 770 come having an "anti-fall" feature. This feature is intended to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, thus its safety during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba 981 is essential in preventing accidents and keeping the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall off a ledge during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 770 has this convenient feature, which allows you to set certain days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start cleaning your space.
The scheduling feature in robot vacuums is specifically useful in maintaining a consistently clean home without the need for manual intervention. iRobot Roomba 981 too allows scheduling. iRobot Roomba 770 has a remote control, this allows you to control the vacuum's direction and actions from a distance.
