iRobot Roomba i7 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. iRobot Roomba i7 has a width of 338mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
iRobot Roomba i7's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. 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
Roborock S7, at mAh5,200
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 operations with less interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7 refers to the 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
The Roborock S7, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 1.75h
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.
Roborock S7, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 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 begins its next cleaning cycle. This feature is 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, Roborock S7 has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable 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, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
