measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo with a difference of 54mm.
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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3 Evo's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Shark AV752, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba i3 Evo's operating time is 1.5h
The Shark AV752, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo with a difference of 0.5h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba i3 Evo has a charge time of 2h, 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.
Shark AV752, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo by 2h. 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.
