Roomba j7+ has a width of 330mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba i3 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 looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i3 Plus, at 92mm
has the same height as that of Roomba j7+.
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 operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
iRobot Roomba i3 Plus, at mAh1,800
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 room 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 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
iRobot Roomba i3 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 iRobot Roomba i3 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
