iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively 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 space
iRobot Roomba 692, at 330mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 10mm. 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 to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba 692, at 93mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 3mm. When choosing 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 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
The 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 by only 4h. 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 begins 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.
