iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Roborock S7 with a difference of only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Roborock S7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring. 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 measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Roborock S7's battery power is 5,200mAh
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Roborock S7 by 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 the Roborock S7 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Roborock S7's operating time is 3h
The iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Roborock S7 by only 1.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Roborock S7 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.
iRobot Roomba i4 Evo, at 2h
spends lesser time charging than the Roborock S7 by only 3h. 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. The operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
Roborock S7 has a power consumption of 68W, power is often measured in watts (W) and changes among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. Auto-off is a feature designed to automatically turn off the vacuum after it has completed an operation or when certain conditions occur. Roborock S7 has an auto-off feature, which is useful for energy efficiency and battery preservation.
Also, iRobot Roomba i4 Evo has this feature, overall, the auto-off feature in a robot vacuum is a key addition that in a way promotes energy efficiency, prolongs the vacuum's lifespan, enhances safety, and adds convenience to the cleaning operations. True, most modern robot vacuum cleaners can mop floors in addition to vacuuming. Such robot vacuums are often referred to as robot vacuum and mop models and Roborock S7 is one of those robot vacuums
