It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7+ has a width of 339mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Tikom G8000, at 325mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by 14mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba i7+'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 furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Tikom G8000, at 79mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7+ with a difference of 13mm.
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 run on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7+'s battery power is 3,300mAh
Tikom G8000, at mAh2,600
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7+ 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 i7+'s operating time is 1.25h
The Tikom G8000, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by 0.75h
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.
The Tikom G8000, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7+ by 2h. 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. iRobot Roomba i7+ has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
