The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be of advantage if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles without frequent interruptions to recharge.
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. Roborock S5 Max's operating time is 2.5h
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S5 Max by only 1.25h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roborock S5 Max has a charge time of 5h, 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 iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S5 Max with a difference of only 3h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle.
