is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.4kg. 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 a single pass. 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 698, at 340mm
has the same width as that of iRobot Roomba j7.
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 obstacles with low clearance in your home.
The iRobot Roomba 698, 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 the iRobot Roomba j7 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
iRobot Roomba 698, at 1.5h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 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 698, 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, 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 a cleaning cycle 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 698 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, dirt sensors are designed to detect the concentration of dirt, dust, or debris in the room being cleaned and can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
