is lighter than the Roomba j7+ by 0.3kg.
It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba j7+ has a width of 330mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Roomba 676, at 340mm
measures more in width than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 10mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba j7+'s height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Roomba 676, at 92mm
has the same height as that of Roomba j7+.
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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
Roomba 676, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
Roomba j7+'s operating time is 1.25h
The Roomba 676, at 2h
lasts more than the Roomba j7+ 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. Roomba j7+ has a charge time of 5h, 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 Roomba 676, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of only 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. Roomba j7+ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, Roomba 676 has 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. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the Roomba j7+, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
