The vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Eufy RoboVac G20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
iRobot Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. No-go zones is a feature of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot 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.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba j7 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The 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 your robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba j7 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.
The Eufy RoboVac G20 too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba j7 has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners can vary depending on the design of the robot vacuum. The Eufy RoboVac G20, having only 4
has more modes than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning challenges.
iRobot Roomba j7 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may give longer warranty periods. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba j7. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply.
iRobot Roomba j7's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it needs to be emptied. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the iRobot Roomba j7
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different 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.
iRobot Roomba j7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The iRobot Roomba j7 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 2.7kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.7kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 320mm
measures less in width than the iRobot 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.
iRobot Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 76mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 14mm.
When selecting 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 amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1.7h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.3h
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. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 5h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of only 1h. 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 begins 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. iRobot Roomba j7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, Eufy RoboVac G20 supports 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.
iRobot Roomba j7 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba j7, are modern robot vacuum models that have a convenient feature to empty their dustbins automatically. iRobot Roomba j7 supports a smartphone app, that allows you to control and monitor the vacuum without getting to it physically but through your smartphone or tablet.
This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to reduce the chance of the robot vacuum getting stuck during cleaning. Robot vacuums such as the iRobot Roomba j7 are equipped with various sensors and technologies to move around obstacles and avoid getting stuck, but the effectiveness of this feature can vary among different models. These virtual barriers are set up and controlled via the robot vacuum's mobile app, similar to no-go zones, these barriers are designed to help you control and restrict where the robot vacuum can and cannot go during cleaning.
iRobot Roomba j7 has a route mapping feature that enables it to create a map of your space and schedule efficient cleaning routes. This mapping capability improves the vacuum's ability to clean 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 space to work more efficiently and reduce the risk of missing certain spots.
