The Roomba i1 Plus's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
The Lefant M210P, at 0.5L has more capacity than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 0.1L The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. The Roomba i1 Plus can adjust its height to match this requirement, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact.
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. Roomba i1 Plus supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Lefant M210P also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
The Roomba i1 Plus weighs 4.7kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Lefant M210P, at 1.2kg is lighter than the Roomba i1 Plus by 3.5kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs Roomba i1 Plus has a width of 338mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space The Lefant M210P, at 279.4mm measures less in width than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 58.6mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roomba i1 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. Lefant M210P, at 73.7mm measures less in height than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh Lefant M210P, at mAh2,000 has more battery power than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Roomba i1 Plus refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h Lefant M210P, at 2h lasts more than the Roomba i1 Plus by 0.75h Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roomba i1 Plus has a charge time of 2.5h, 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 i1 Plus by 1.5h.
