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 key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The 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, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus's height measures 92mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. 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 go 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. It 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 beneficial if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles 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.
iRobot Roomba j7 Plus's operating time is 1.25h
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. The Neato D8, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
