iRobot Roomba 981 has a width of 351mm, aslo known 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 important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Eufy RoboVac LR30, at 350mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba 981 by 1mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. 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 limited clearance in your home. The Eufy RoboVac LR30, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba 981 with a difference of 8mm. 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba 981's battery power is 3,000mAh
The Eufy RoboVac LR30, at mAh3,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba 981 with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba 981 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 981's operating time is 2h
Eufy RoboVac LR30, at 2.4h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba 981 with a difference of 0.4h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. 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. Eufy RoboVac LR30, at 6h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba 981 with a difference of 3h.
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 feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba 981 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Eufy RoboVac LR30 supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process. 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.
