A vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for several purposes, for example the Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
iRobot Roomba i3 Evo also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the iRobot Roomba i3 Evo has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and the Roomba j7 is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
iRobot Roomba i3 Evo also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.

has the same warranty period as that of Roomba j7.
When considering 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. Roomba j7's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied. The iRobot Roomba i3 Evo, at 0.5L
carries less dirt than the Roomba j7 by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary 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 dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. 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. iRobot Roomba i3 Evo also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
Roomba j7 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability. The iRobot Roomba i3 Evo, at 6.8kg
weighs more than the Roomba j7 by 3.4kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to 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 i3 Evo, at 133mm
measures less in width than the Roomba j7 with a difference of 207mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba i3 Evo, at 36mm
measures less in height than the Roomba j7 with a difference of 54mm. When selecting 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 the Roomba j7 refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to be recharged. Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
The iRobot Roomba i3 Evo, at 1.5h
lasts more than the 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. 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 i3 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the 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. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur.
Roomba j7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation. Also, iRobot Roomba i3 Evo 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. 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 can be used to adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during cleaning cycle.
