weighs more than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 1kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly 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 space
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 362mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 22mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, 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 furniture with low clearance in your home. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 103.5mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 13.5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage.
The operating time of the iRobot Roomba j7 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 2.9h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba j7 has a charge time of 6h, 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.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 6.5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.5h. 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.
