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 important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 350mm
measures more in width than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 20mm.
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 to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home.
Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 97mm
measures more in height than the Roomba j7+ by 5mm. 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roomba j7+'s battery power is 2,210mAh
Xiaomi X10 Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of
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 without frequent 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
Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 2h
lasts more than the Roomba j7+ with a difference of 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. 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.
