    So far so good. It is still learning how to map the house and I had to manually empty the robot on the fifth time because the bag was full.

    This is my third robotic vacuum. The first two were epic fails (neither of them had the app for home mapping, which is a feature I feel is a *MUST HAVE* if you want your vacuum to run correctly.) I cant believe I actually paid $650 (with tax) for this one, but I have to say Im pretty happy I did. Overall, the Roomba j7+ is an awesome way to keep your house tidy—with a few exceptions. See below: The good: The first day was intense. It took a total of 8 hours (including two breaks for a recharge), but I finally got it to map out my house. Its an open concept design and on Roombas map, I unfortunately couldnt tell where some rooms begin and others end. The placeholders (rugs, doorways, etc) arent set to scale, and sometimes my estimations of the boundaries were way off based on Roombas diagram. Part of the problem was my fault because I was so picky about getting the boundaries accurate. Once it was all set up, Roomba and its software really showed its strength. I was very impressed with how efficient it was at cleaning. It even readjusted and learned better ways at cleaning tight corners after taking a few trips around the same space—proof that the vacuum truly does get smarter over time, as is promised. This was a welcome surprise because I usually have to vacuum daily due to our pets. The bad: The living room is the only room where the Roomba completely failed. I tried running 8 separate cleaning sessions on this room, and it only seemed to get more confused over time. Its your typical rectangular room with a couch, multiple chairs, end tables, a few planters, and a coffee table on a rug in the center. The rug is a high pile, so I never expected the Roomba to be able to tackle it (even traditional vacuums struggle with it). Surprisingly, the Roomba *was* able to make its way over the rug, but only after fighting and curling the rug every which way, which I fear will damage it in the long run. ... AND... It never correctly identified the rug on the map. If it had marked it as a rug, I could have drawn a shape over the area and marked it as a zone to avoid. But without the map, I have no idea where the rug is in the app. I tried making an estimated guess, but it ended up missing important parts of the living area off the rug. And each time I edited the rug, I had to run the vacuum again to re-map it. I finally gave up. This will just have to be a room I continue to vacuum manually. The fugly: After cutting my sons hair, I figured Id let Roomba clean up the mess instead of cleaning it myself. MASSIVE MISTAKE. The Roomba gathered all the hair into a tidy pile on the bathroom floor, then proceeded to mow right through it and drag huge clumps onto the rug over by the shower! Then it backed up and ran more clumps over the rug again. After it had sufficiently painted the rug with hundreds of tiny hairs (which I swear Ill never be able to get all out), it went outside its boundary and spread more hairs into the bedroom. I was convinced that Roomba would somehow fix this based on its dirt detect technology. But no, instead of going back and cleaning up the mess it made, it traveled merrily back to its home base, leaving a long trail of hair behind it. On the clean-up summary, there was no mention of dirt detection, and no indication of an irregular cleaning session. Lesson learned, and I was the idiot for sending a robot to do a humans job. I wont make the mistake again. All that to say, I wouldnt trust Roomba again if there was a mess to clean up, such as spilled chips. Id be afraid the vacuum would just crush them and spread the bits all over the house. Where it really seems to excel is cleaning small day-to-day things, such as dust and pet hair. It does a really solid job of this. My house was already clean when I started using it, and Ive watched each day as it cleans up new clumps of pet hair and little bits of dust and debris. Overall, Id say its a good vacuum for maintaining an already clean home. For that, Im still pretty happy. It saves me a lot of work. I run its cycle daily and its so much nicer to not have to do the work myself.

    This is the best money Ive ever spent on a cleaning product. I hate vacuuming but I love clean floors. I have a dog and lots of visiting pets, mostly carpets and some tile. This little robot does it all. After about 3 or 4 mapping runs he knew my whole apartment, it was super easy to set up cleaning zones, and I can set it and forget it and he cleans the whole apartment weekly and my main living areas daily. Been doing it for over 3 months now. My floors have never looked so good. Best parts? 1. Plugs himself back in and cleans himself out. Will pause a job to recharge if needed and resume when charged. 2. Sends me a notification to my phone if he gets stuck, needs a part replaced, or the bag is full 3. Vacuums my thick rugs with fringe that sit on carpet with no issues. 4. Makes the nice, professional looking vacuum lines on my carpets. 10/10 5. You get to name it and can put googly eyes on it. In my opinion, this makes the little robot a full fledged member of the family. Downsides? 1. He has gotten stuck on these sheer curtains I have that drape on the floor, I just put them up if hes set to clean that room and the problem is solved 2. He doesnt deep clean. He cant get corners and edges perfectly. Youll still need the occasional deep clean with a regular vacuum and moving furniture. I highly recommend this little robot. From reading reviews of others, these newer versions are MUCH better than the older ones.

    I have owned at least six other iRobot Roombas and two iRobot mops. This is the best one yet! I love that it takes pictures of obstacles and allows you to label them and enter into the data base. I did a mapping run first, labeled the rooms and nw I pick and choose where I want the vacuum to go. So far I love it!

    I had a previous robot vacuum but I never ran it because I always had stuff on my floor and it was easier to just vacuum than it was to go around and secure every cord, shoelace, dog toy, etc. I decided to upgrade and after a lot of research decided on this model. I definitely made the right decision. This little guy has effectively cleaned my floors without sucking up a single unwanted things. I can (unfortunately?) confirm the POOP guarantee works. My dog has a bit of a behavioral issue of pooping inside when he’s stressed. He seemed totally fine with the roomba. But after the first run, I found a big ol’ poop on the floor. I definitely was happy the roomba hadn’t run it over, but I wasn’t sure if he had pooped after it had vacuumed. UNTIL… After that first run, I noticed the cool feature where you can review pictures of the obstacles it faced. Low and behold, there is my dog, caught pooping red pawed right in roomba’s face, looking over his shoulder at it like “come at me bro.” The roomba was not deterred by his big poop energy and just apparently turned and went the other way. Thank you roomba, for not turning my house into a literal s***storm!!!

    The navagation and AI on this vacuum are insanly good. IT doesn’t vacuum or have adjustable power levels but it is very quiet and very smart. Would highly recommend to people who have multiple rooms and need a bot smart enough to navigate anywhere and be dependable. Has not got stuck yet.

    A friend had one and raved about it so I bought one. I like it. It won’t replace all your cleaning but it is good for picking things up between cleanings. Quite loud on my tile floors though.

    I ordered this product last week and it arrived a few days later. I ordered the combination that had extra filters, rollers, and brushes since I have 4 kids and 4 animals in my home. I should mention, I have a German Shepherd that is constantly shedding and a long-haired Siamese cat. Between these two animals, I should sweep daily, but I dont have that kind of time, so I splurged on the Roomba. My children were super excited when Paul (the irobot- they are on a Beatles kick right now) arrived. It is easy to set up. You must download the iRobot app in order to set up the room maps and cleaning schedules. Some reviewers said it took their robot quite a few times to get an accurate map, not Paul, he had the main floor mapped on day one. You can label the cleaning map, which is convenient, I have mine saved as main floor but then have each individual room labeled separately. The Roomba can do the entire map or just specific rooms. You can schedule the vacuuming to however you need it or just have it clean specific rooms right then and there by the push of a button. So far, I have Paul cleaning at 9 am and 7 pm. The 9 am cleaning takes less than an hour and the 7 pm was even quicker. Paul had no problem transitioning from wood floor to tile. He struggled a little at first with going from the tile to some area rugs, but watching Paul figure out the best way to approach the carpeted areas was interesting. After initially struggling a little bit and getting caught up on the edge of the rug, Paul figured out the best approach and no longer has that issue. We are currently remodeling so we have spots on the kitchen floor where it goes from tile to the tile backer, so a few millimeters difference in height, and Paul had no issues transitioning from these two levels. Paul is not quiet, but he isnt obnoxiously loud while vacuuming. However, when the Roomba goes back to the docking station to self empty it sounds like a jet airplane taking off. So, I would not schedule the cleaning times for when someone is napping. Beyond that, after two days with Paul, we all love him.

Finally. A robot vacuum you can rely on to get the job done. The Roomba® j7 + robot vacuum empties on its own, packs 10x the power-lifting suction*, and comes with unique intelligence to avoid cords and pet waste. It even understands times when you’re home and seasons when more cleaning may be needed.*Compared to the Roomba® 600 series cleaning system.
