When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The iRobot Roomba 770's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The iRobot Roomba 981, at 0.5L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba 770
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend 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. iRobot Roomba 770 adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable 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 commonly 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 important to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing 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, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba 981, at 351mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 770 by 2mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing 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 an important 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 by 1mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go 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 amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba 770's operating time is 2h
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. 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, since 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 770 has a power consumption of 30W, power is measured in watts (W) and can vary 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 room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the chance of the robot vacuum becoming trapped while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 770 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 iRobot Roomba 981 and iRobot Roomba 770 have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further eliminate the chances of getting stuck during cleaning. Virtual barriers are typically set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to help 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 keeps its charge and readiness for cleaning without requiring manual intervention. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 770 come having an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to prevent the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, ensuring its safety during operation.
This safety feature that is also available on the iRobot Roomba 981 is essential in mitigating accidents and protecting the robot vacuum from damage. It gives you peace of mind by ensuring that the vacuum will not fall down a flight of stairs during its cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba 770 has this convenient feature, which enables you to set specific days or times of day for the robot vacuum to start cleaning your space.
