Lefant M213 has a width of 335mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that the robot vacuum can effectively clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Lefant M213 with a difference of 5mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Lefant M213's height measures 60mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home.
The Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures more in height than the Lefant M213 with a difference of 23mm. 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 battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Lefant M213's battery power is 1,800mAh
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner 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. Lefant M213's operating time is 2h
The Shark RV912S, at 2h
has the same operating time as the Lefant M213
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Lefant M213 has a charge time of 4h, 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.
