It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing 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 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 time it takes to clean a space
The Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 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 a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home. The Roborock S7 Max Ultra, at 96.5mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 6.5mm.
When selecting 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 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
Roborock S7 Max Ultra, 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. Roborock S7 Max Ultra, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
