A vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba i7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The Eufy RoboVac G20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba i7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba i7 is one of them. These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.

It's important to consider the weight of the robot 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, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is key 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba i7's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measure 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 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 1,800mAh
Eufy RoboVac G20, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of
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 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 be recharged. 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.
The 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
