It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba 981 has a width of 351mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Lefant M210P, at 279.4mm
measures less in width than the Roomba 981 with a difference of 71.6mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
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 Lefant M210P, at 73.7mm
measures less in height than the Roomba 981 by 18.3mm.
When selecting 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 run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba 981's battery power is 3,000mAh
The Lefant M210P, at mAh2,000
has less battery power than the Roomba 981 by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Roomba 981 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba 981's operating time is 2h
Lefant M210P, at 2h
has the same operating time as the Roomba 981
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. 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.
The Lefant M210P, at 4h
charges for longer than the Roomba 981 with a difference of 1h. 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
