iRobot Roomba i3 has a width of 337mm, often referred to 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 duration it takes to clean a room
The Roidmi EVA, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i3 with a difference of 53mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening 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 a key 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, ensure 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
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 space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba i3's operating time is 1.25h
The 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 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i3 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Roidmi EVA has 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 bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba i3, are advanced robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Roidmi EVA is self-emptying, it's important to note 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 without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
