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 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 770's operating time is 2h
The iRobot Roomba i3, at 1.25h
spends less time than the iRobot Roomba 770 by only 0.75h
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 i3, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 770 with a difference of 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.
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 changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. iRobot Roomba 770 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to eliminate the chance of the robot vacuum becoming stuck while 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 i3 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 reduce the chances of getting stuck during cleaning.
Virtual barriers are set up and managed 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. Auto-docking is a feature that refers to the vacuum's ability to return to its docking station when predetermined conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both iRobot Roomba i3 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 with little or no manual intervention.
