A robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba i3 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Roidmi EVA also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba i3 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roidmi EVA has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba i3 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

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 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 Roidmi EVA, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i3 by 53mm.
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 measurement 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.
Roidmi EVA, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 8mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure 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 measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i3's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Roidmi EVA, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i3 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba i3's operating time is 1.25h
Roidmi EVA, 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 Roidmi EVA, 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 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 certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i3 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roidmi EVA 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 operations.
Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba i3, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Roidmi EVA is self-emptying, have it in mind that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature. iRobot Roomba i3 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet.
