weighs more than the Roomba j7+ by 1.4kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the 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 effectively clean in a single pass.
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 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Roomba j7+'s height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
has the same height as that of Roomba j7+.
When choosing 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 operate 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 usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you prefer 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 charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba j7+'s operating time is 1.25h
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. 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, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
