A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. This can be used for several purposes, for example the iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
The Eufy RoboVac G20 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. iRobot Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba j7 is one of them. 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 built 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.

has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba j7. When thinking of buying 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, debris, and pet hair the 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 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 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 generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The Eufy RoboVac G20, at 2.7kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.7kg. It's advisable to consider 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 effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
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 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 limited clearance in your home. Eufy RoboVac G20, at 76mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 14mm. 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the 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
Eufy RoboVac G20, at 1.7h
lasts more than the iRobot 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. 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 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. Auto-off is a feature 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 has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable 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 space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
Self-emptying bins or automatic dirt disposal systems like the iRobot Roomba j7, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. iRobot Roomba j7 supports a smartphone app, through which you can control and monitor the vacuum remotely through your smartphone or tablet. This feature in robot vacuum cleaners is designed to reduce the likelihood 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 varies among different models. Virtual barriers are typically set up and controlled through 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 while cleaning. iRobot Roomba j7 has a route mapping feature which enables it to generate 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 an important 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 minimize the chance of missing certain spots.
