Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba 981 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The iRobot Roomba 981 weighs 4kg, robot vacuums are commonly 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, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space iRobot Roomba 981's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
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 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 battery charge before it needs to be recharged. 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 a cleaning cycle or when specific 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, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting stuck while cleaning.
