iRobot Roomba i3 has a width of 337mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Roborock Q7 Max, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 13mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i3's height measures 92mm, 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.
Roborock Q7 Max, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 5mm. 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3's battery power is 1,800mAh
Roborock Q7 Max, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i3 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 would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i3 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba i3's operating time is 1.25h
The Roborock Q7 Max, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i3 by 1.75h
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. Roborock Q7 Max, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of only 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i3 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roborock Q7 Max supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning process.
