Roomba e5, at mAh3,300
has the same battery power as the iRobot Roomba i7+
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba i7+'s operating time is 1.25h
Roomba e5, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7+ with a difference of 0.25h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba i7+ has a charge time of 3h, 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. Roomba e5, at 3h
has the same charge time as the iRobot Roomba i7+.
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.
iRobot Roomba i7+ has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
