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 effectively 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
iRobot Roomba 692, at 330mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 10mm.
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 furniture with limited clearance in your home.
iRobot Roomba 692, at 93mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 3mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 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
iRobot Roomba 692, 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 692, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of only 4h.
