It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially 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 it can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 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 of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 76mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity 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 of advantage if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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 battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba i7's operating time is 1.25h
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1.7h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 0.45h
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 2h, 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.
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 3h. 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.
