iRobot Roomba i3 Evo has a width of 133mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo by 197mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i3 Evo's height measures 36mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo by 47mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3 Evo's battery power is 1,800mAh
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo refers to the amount of 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
Shark RV912S, 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 RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo by 4h. 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.
