iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is 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
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 362mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 22mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, 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 obstacles 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 choosing 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 operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. 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 with a difference of 0.5h.
