iRobot Roomba j7 Plus has a width of 330mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Neato D8, at 330mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba j7 Plus. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Neato D8, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus by 8mm. When selecting 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba j7 Plus's battery power is 2,210mAh
The Neato D8, at mAh2,100
has less battery power than the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus with a difference of only
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large room or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba j7 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
The Neato D8, at 1.7h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus by 0.45h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus 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. Neato D8, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus by only 2h.
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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
