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, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba j7+'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 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 choosing a robot vacuum, make sure 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), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
The Roomba 694, at mAh2,100
has less battery power than the Roomba j7+ by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge.
The operating time of the Roomba j7+ refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roomba j7+'s operating time is 1.25h
The Roomba 694, at 3h
lasts more than the Roomba j7+ by 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.
Roomba 694, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
