iRobot Roomba i7 Plus has a width of 339mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is 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 Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus with a difference of 14mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus'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 low clearance in your home. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus 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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's battery power is 3,300mAh
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 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. Roborock Q7 Max Plus, 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, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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 without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
