iRobot Roomba j7+ Wi-Fi Connect Robot Vacuum with Automatic Dirt Disposal - Dual Multi Surface Rubber Brushes, Ideal for Pets, Learns, Maps, and Adapts to your Home, Object Detection and Avoidance

Was a little dubious buying this after past experiences with robot vacuums. Most I'd had in the past were dumb navigation, bouncing around the room noisily and hopefully getting most things whilst getting their brushes so stuck together with hair they needed maintenance after each run. Kinda defeated the point there.This product however has been a pleasant surprise. Smart navigation makes all the difference really. It cleans in nice rows and gets every corner. Can even see in the app afterward if it did miss anywhere. The floorplan it generated for my home is accurate and has only gotten better after subsequent runs. The machine is also quieter than I'm used to and, whilst not having the best suction, is evidently picking up the vast majority in carpet and basically everything on hard floors. Very impressed so far.The obstacle avoidance feature on this model is very cool. Seeing it avoid driving over cables or around obstacles without hitting them makes me a lot more confident to run this when I'm not at home. I don't have a pet so I can't tell you if it's good at avoiding poop, but fairly sure iRobot replace it for free if it doesn't so probably doesn't matter!The new base is also great. It is very compact compared to the older models, much shorter and much more aesthetically appealing in my opinion. The base is also very powerful and has emptied the vacuum every time completely. Never had any blockages or other issues. The bags also last for ages so rarely need replacing.Would definitely recommend this for anyone needing a robot vacuum that has been burned before by cheaper/older options. It's expensive but worth it.

I am very happy with j7+ iRobot, very very Smart, it clean perfectly, mapping the floor plan very smart and accurate, clean everywhere, I have high pie carpet you can see in picture and she clean it very well, it will do her job without need of supervise, every few days I will remove the long hairs stuck in rollers. It detect wires and obstacles, only stuck somewhere once and never happened again, in overall I am very happy, she is very smart, do the job alone and it’s pretty quiet, battery life is not great but doesn’t matter as she come back to base and after an hour recharge she will continue from where she left and clean the rest, very good app and you can track everything and where she cleaned and floor map on the app.Easy setup, and really keep the flat always clean, I wish she could do more things and wash the dishes too lol.

This machine is absolutely categorically useless. Product support are not helping at all. For past 3 months it has not completed one single cleaning run. It gets stuck, spins around, gets lost, and complains constantly bin is full (it isn't, as its not cleaning, so how could it be), and now latest its 'unable to connect' to base. Support always says we need to change place, do more runs, more tweaks, but they cannot explain its claiming bin is full and its not charging. Its all about placement apparently. Its absolute nonsense. It also hits objects, pushes them along its path. Its never getting itself docked properly, and even if you carry it in, whuch you tend to do as its just randomly running out of battery, at least its not able to charge itself aftee. That said, even if it was, that would only prolong our suffering. The device is clearly faulty, but we don't get any support. Its always a weeks wait to get repeated same useless details. Its akways our fault. Avoid this device, avoid Roomba, avoid anything to do with these people.

This is a decent iRobot. I’ve had three before. Cleaning is good, as were the other two. But whereas the previous generations you pressed the button and they started, this one is way more clever. You download the app and the “button” is on your phone. Genius. If it worked. The issue is that there are constantly problems that cause it to stall, and fair enough the problems are sorted when you reboot, but the reboot involves being physically there! In other words no real advantage in being able to control from your phone. I’ve had mine for a month. I’ve had to do 4 manual re-boots in that time and I’ve also had to take it apart and take the battery out when one reboot didn’t work. It’s a total pain in the neck. I wouldn’t buy it again and wish I’d gone for an older generation tried and tested “manual” iRobot
