iRobot Roomba i7 has a width of 338mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
The Shark AV752, at 315mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 23mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing 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 a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. Shark AV752, at 90mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 2mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit 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. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
Shark AV752, at mAh2,500
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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 charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba i7's operating time is 1.25h
The Shark AV752, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 0.75h
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. Shark AV752, at 4h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 2h.
