measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 3mm.
When choosing 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. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i3 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room 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 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
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i3 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 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.
The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba i3 by 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
