A vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space. This can be used for different situations, for example the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states 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 spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus is one of them.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Roborock S7 MaxV Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are areas that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.

iRobot Roomba i1 Plus has a width of 338mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly 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
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 12mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i1 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at 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 Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus by 5mm. When choosing 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), iRobot Roomba i1 Plus's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba i1 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
The Roborock S7 MaxV Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 1.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot 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 Plus, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i1 Plus with a difference of 1.5h.
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.
