A robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, for example the iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
iRobot Roomba j7 Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't. iRobot Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the iRobot Roomba j7 Plus 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 avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba j7 supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba j7 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. iRobot Roomba j7 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.

The iRobot Roomba j7 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties.
The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of iRobot Roomba j7. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. iRobot Roomba j7's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied.
The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the iRobot Roomba j7 by only 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba j7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
iRobot Roomba j7 Plus 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. The iRobot Roomba j7 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, at 3.3kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.1kg.
It's important to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, especially 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 effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, 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, shortening the time it takes to clean a room.
iRobot Roomba j7's height measures 90mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, at 92mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 2mm.
When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure 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 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 j7 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the iRobot Roomba j7 by only 0.15h
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. The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus, at 5h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 by only 1h. 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.
This feature is 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 j7 Plus has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a valuable addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations.
iRobot Roomba j7 has a dirt sensor, these are designed to detect the availability of dirt, dust, or debris in the space being cleaned and based on their readings adjust the vacuum's cleaning behavior during operation. Self-emptying robot vacuum cleaners like the iRobot Roomba j7, are modern robot vacuum models that have the ease of use feature to empty their dustbins automatically. Also, iRobot Roomba j7 Plus is self-emptying, it's important to note that self-emptying robot vacuums tend to be on the higher end of the price spectrum due to this advanced feature.
