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 looking at 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.
Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid, at 85mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 7mm. When selecting 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 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's battery power is 1,800mAh
Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with fewer 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 Hybrid, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 0.25h
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 Hybrid, at 6h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 4h. 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.
Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when specific conditions occur. iRobot Roomba i7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Eufy RoboVac G20 Hybrid supports this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations.
iRobot Roomba i7 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
