The robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Eufy RoboVac G20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Roomba j7 supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Roomba j7 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. Eufy RoboVac G20 can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with Eufy RoboVac G20. Roomba j7 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets.
Eufy RoboVac G20 is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. The Roomba j7 has 3 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum. The Eufy RoboVac G20, having only 4
has more modes than the Roomba j7 by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning challenges.
The Roomba j7 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, however some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Roomba j7. When thinking of buying 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 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Roomba j7
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity 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 alert 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 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 2.7kg
is lighter than the Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.7kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, 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 space
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the Roomba j7 with a difference of 20mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 76mm
measures less in height than the Roomba j7 by 14mm.
When selecting 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 operating time of the Roomba j7 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1.7h
lasts more than the Roomba j7 by 0.3h
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 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. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 5h
spends lesser time charging than the Roomba j7 by only 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.
This feature is 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, Eufy RoboVac G20 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 process.
Roomba j7 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the Roomba j7, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Roomba j7 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is intended to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting trapped during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the Roomba j7 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting trapped, but the effectiveness of this feature varies among different models. These virtual barriers are set up and managed via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are setup to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go while cleaning.
Roomba j7 has a route mapping feature that enables it to generate a map of your home and plan efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to work effectively and systematically. Route mapping is a valuable feature as it makes it possible for robot vacuums such as the Eufy RoboVac G20 to adapt to the layout of your home to work more efficiently and minimize the risk of missing certain spots.
Auto-docking is a feature in robot vacuum cleaners that refers to the vacuum's ability to autonomously return to its docking station when certain conditions are met such as getting work done, battery running low, or any malfunction. Both Eufy RoboVac G20 and Roomba j7 support this feature, considered a convenient feature because it ensures that the robot vacuum keeps its charge and readiness for cleaning with little or no manual intervention. Most robot vacuum cleaners such as Roomba j7 come equipped with an "cliff detection" feature.
