A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates 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 keeping out of those that are not. The Tikom G8000 Pro also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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 areas to be cleaned leaving out 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 and avoid collisions. Also, the Tikom G8000 Pro has this 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 thus avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles.

Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2.8kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 0.6kg.
It's important 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, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it 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 space
Tikom G8000 Pro, at 325mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba j7 with a difference of 15mm. 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 considering the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Tikom G8000 Pro, at 78.7mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba j7 by 11.3mm.
When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure 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 charge before it needs to be recharged. iRobot Roomba j7's operating time is 1.4h
The 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 with a difference of 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 begins its next cleaning cycle.
