is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 0.6kg.
It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot 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, refers to 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 time it takes to clean a room
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 325mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 15mm. 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 limited clearance in your home. The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 78.7mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 11.3mm.
When selecting 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 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
Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.6h
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 Tikom G8000 Pro, 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, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
