The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations 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 charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba i7's operating time is 1.25h
The Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, 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 Pro Ultra, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2h.
