It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7 has a width of 338mm, aslo known 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 important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 18mm. 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 considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 76mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 16mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, make sure 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
Eufy RoboVac G20, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent 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
The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1.7h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 0.45h
