A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area 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 iRobot Roomba j7 having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
Roborock S7 MaxV 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 navigate 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 objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions.
Also, the Roborock S7 MaxV has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it 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 found on many robot vacuum cleaners and the iRobot Roomba j7 is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
The Roborock S7 MaxV also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba j7 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

iRobot Roomba j7 weighs 3.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 4.4kg
weighs more than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 1kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is 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 space
The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 390mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 50mm. 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 considering the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Roborock S7 MaxV, at 100mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 10mm. 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 the iRobot Roomba j7 refers to the amount of 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 S7 MaxV, at 3h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 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 S7 MaxV, at 4h
spends lesser time charging than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 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 is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This feature is designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed a cleaning cycle or when certain conditions occur.
iRobot Roomba j7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
