The vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, for example the Roomba i1 Plus having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
The Roborock S7 MaxV also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and Roomba i1 Plus supports this feature.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock S7 MaxV also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.

Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Roborock S7 MaxV, at 3h
lasts more than the Roomba i1 Plus by 1.75h
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. The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4h
charges for longer than the Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 1.5h.
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 is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Roomba i1 Plus has a power consumption of 28W, power is measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
