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 a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important 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 iRobot Roomba j7 by 207mm. 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 looking at 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 i3 Evo, at 36mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 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 a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of 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 i3 Evo, 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 i3 Evo, at 2h
