iRobot Roomba i7 Plus cleans all floor types, this is essential, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean most flooring materials without any limitations.
Roborock Q7 Max aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is built to be adaptable, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. The 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 i7 Plus having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Roborock Q7 Max also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area.
Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.

When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Roborock Q7 Max, at 0.5L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
iRobot Roomba i7 Plus weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. Roborock Q7 Max, at 3.8kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus with a difference of 0.4kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7 Plus has a width of 339mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Roborock Q7 Max, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 11mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. Roborock Q7 Max, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 5mm. When choosing 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. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's battery power is 3,300mAh
The Roborock Q7 Max, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus 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 prefer 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 i7 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Roborock Q7 Max, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus 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 i7 Plus 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. The Roborock Q7 Max, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 1h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus 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. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus, are modern robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, Roborock Q7 Max 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 i7 Plus supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. Both the Roborock Q7 Max and iRobot Roomba i7 Plus have mobile application support, this enhances the user experience by providing convenience, and ease update of features and functionalities.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to eliminate the likelihood of the robot vacuum getting trapped while cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, however the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. Both the Roborock Q7 Max and iRobot Roomba i7 Plus have the "anti-stuck" feature, however clearing clutter, ensuring proper cable management, and creating clear paths for the vacuums can help further reduce the chances of getting stuck during cleaning.
These virtual barriers are set up and controlled through the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning. Both iRobot Roomba i7 Plus and Roborock Q7 Max support virtual barriers, this ability to set virtual barriers is especially useful for spaces having areas where the robot vacuum may encounter obstacles. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes.
