The vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for several purposes, 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. Roidmi EVA also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out 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 way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roidmi EVA has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot Roomba i7 is one of them.
These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Roidmi EVA also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba i7 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The Roidmi EVA can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with Roidmi EVA. iRobot Roomba i7 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets.

has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba i7. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba i7's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
The Roidmi EVA, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba i7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
Roidmi EVA also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. The iRobot Roomba i7 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. Roidmi EVA, at 3.6kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 0.6kg.
It's advisable 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Roidmi EVA, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 52mm. 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 measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roidmi EVA, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 8mm.
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 operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
Roidmi EVA, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba i7 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
Roidmi EVA, 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.
Roidmi EVA, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2h. 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
