The vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba 981 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. iRobot Roomba 981 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba 981 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The iRobot Roomba 981 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. iRobot Roomba 981 has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba 981 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods.
iRobot Roomba 981's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba 981 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
The iRobot Roomba 981 weighs 4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. iRobot Roomba 981 has a width of 351mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. 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's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 981's battery power is 3000mAh The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 981 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 981's operating time is 2h iRobot Roomba 981 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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 981 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
iRobot Roomba 981 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to eliminate the chance of the robot vacuum getting stuck while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba 981 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.
iRobot Roomba 981 has a route mapping feature which enables it to create a map of your home and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability enhances the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Voice prompts are notifications that the vacuum emits to give you information on the different states of the vacuum.
iRobot Roomba 981 supports this feature Auto-docking is a feature in robot vacuum cleaners that indicates 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. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as iRobot Roomba 981 come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature. This feature is intended to save the robot vacuum from falling off stairs, ledges, or other elevated surfaces, hence its safety while cleaning.
