It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba 981 has a width of 351mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly 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 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 looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. 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 go 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is 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 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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.
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 begins its next cleaning cycle. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur.
