A vacuum's ability to generate 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. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. The iRobot Roomba 621 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves 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 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 way, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the iRobot Roomba 621 has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot Roomba j7 supports this feature.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces 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 implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

iRobot Roomba j7 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. The iRobot Roomba 621, at 4.3kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.9kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the 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, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The iRobot Roomba 621, at 340mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba j7. 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 an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 621, at 92mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 2mm. 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 charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
The iRobot Roomba 621, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.1h
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.
iRobot Roomba 621, at 3h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of only 3h. 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. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when specific conditions occur.
iRobot Roomba j7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba 621 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. iRobot Roomba j7 has a dirt sensor, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the area being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation.
You may want to consider buying either the iRobot Roomba 621 or iRobot Roomba j7 If you prefer the ability to automatically adjust the cleaning modes of the robot vacuum based on the level of dirt and debris in your room. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba j7, are advanced robot vacuum models that have the ease of use 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.
