has the same warranty period as that of Roomba j7+.
When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Roomba j7+'s dustbin capacity is at 0.4L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied.
Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Roomba j7+ by 0.3L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. Roomba j7+ supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
The Roomba j7+ weighs 3.3kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 2.3kg. It's important to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when getting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
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 time it takes to clean a space
The Shark RV912S, at 330mm
has the same width as that of Roomba j7+.
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 measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home.
The Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures less in height than the Roomba j7+ by 9mm. 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
The operating time of the Roomba j7+ 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
Shark RV912S, at 2h
lasts more than the Roomba j7+ by 0.75h
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.
Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 1h. 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 an operation or when certain conditions occur.
Roomba j7+ has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Shark RV912S has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the Roomba j7+, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically.
Also, Shark RV912S is self-emptying, it's important to note 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, which allows the vacuum to detect and adjust to different floor surfaces, specifically recognizing when it transitions from hard floors like tile to carpeted areas.
