measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 16mm.
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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Eufy RoboVac G20, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7 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
