iRobot Roomba j7 has a width of 340mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 350mm
measures more in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 10mm. 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 to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Roborock S7 Pro Ultra, at 97mm
measures more in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 7mm. When choosing 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 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
The Roborock S7 Pro 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 Pro Ultra, 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.
