A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g.
the iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Roborock Q7 Max Plus 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.
iRobot Roomba j7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Roborock Q7 Max Plus has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba j7 supports this feature.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.

weighs more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.3kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing 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 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
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 353mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 13mm. 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 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. The Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 95mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 5mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. iRobot Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 1.6h
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 Roborock Q7 Max Plus, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 by only 2h. 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.
