measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 13.3mm. 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 typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's battery power is 3,300mAh
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at mAh2,600
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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 battery charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba i7 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus with a difference of 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 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 Tikom G8000 Pro, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 Plus by 2h. 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
iRobot Roomba i7 Plus has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space 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 the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, Tikom G8000 Pro is self-emptying, have it in mind that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature.
