Roomba j7+ has a width of 330mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively 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 room
The Roomba i1 Plus, at 338mm
measures more in width than the Roomba j7+ by 8mm.
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 of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
Roomba i1 Plus, 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 run on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
The Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roomba j7+ by only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations with fewer 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
The Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
has the same operating time as the Roomba j7+
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 i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Roomba j7+ by only 2.5h. 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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur.
Roomba j7+ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. 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. Also, Roomba i1 Plus is self-emptying, have it in mind that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature.
Roomba j7+ has carpet detection, this enables the vacuum to identify and adapt to different floor surfaces, to be specific recognizing when it moves from hard floors like hardwood to areas with carpets.
