measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 by 7mm. 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 typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i3 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner 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's operating time is 1.25h
Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i3 by 0.25h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
iRobot Roomba i3 has a charge time of 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. Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid, at 6h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 1h. 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i3 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process.
Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba i3, are advanced robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. iRobot Roomba i3 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
