The Roomba 694, at 3.4kg
weighs more than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 0.1kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba j7+ has a width of 330mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly 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 space
Roomba 694, at 340mm
measures more in width than the Roomba j7+ by 10mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roomba j7+'s height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
Roomba 694, at 100mm
measures more in height than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 8mm. When selecting 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
Roomba 694, at mAh2,100
has less battery power than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial 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 battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba j7+'s operating time is 1.25h
Roomba 694, at 3h
lasts more than the Roomba j7+ 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.
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 694, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the Roomba j7+ by only 2h. 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
Auto-off is a feature 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 694 supports 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.
Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the Roomba j7+, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Roomba j7+ has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adjust to different floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to areas with carpets.
