Great cleaning bot with a lot of smarts. Note the i7 will give you a scare the first few times you run it in your home. Not because there was a problem with how it cleans but how much it picks up. I was totally shocked when it returned home with a full bin error and I found the bin fully packed. The cleaning paths are detailed and thorough. The speed of the cleaning edge brush is not as fast as older models which helps to stop the bot from spreading the dust and materials around allowing it to clean more efficiently. The smart mapping is awesome in conjunction with smart assistants like Google. I can't tell you how many times I see a mess caused by the kiddos and quickly ask Google to "vacuum the living room" only to hear the little chime of my i7 as it comes to life. I love the scheduling ability of this vacuum as well and if you really want to use this feature to its fullest schedule it to clean the kids room in the morning as a roaming alarm clock ;). Draw backs if you have deep shag carpets this may not work for you and if I had to purchase this again I would just get it with the clean base ( I purchased the self empty base separately). However those areas can, with recent updates, create keep out zones in the app allowing the robot to avoid these areas. Maintenance for this bot is reasonable and most replacement parts can easily be found on Amazon for cheap.

Overall, this has become a much appreciated and loved item in our home!! Initially, we just wanted it to spot clean the home to keep up with our foot traffic (adults, young child, long haired dog). That said, after seeing how much dirt it keeps coming up with, we have kept it on a schedule of vacuuming everyday. Every single day we fill up the bin full of fur and dirt and we are a pretty clean family! You can schedule times for it to run, label your rooms and do new jobs to any room, view the worst dirt spots on the app, etc! When we had family visiting and things were scattered everywhere, we turned the schedule off and severely missed it! It cannot vacuum the downstairs of our home on one charge (1800 sq ft approximately). It takes 2 charges, but since it returns to home on its own, I don’t have to do anything during that timeframe. My only complaint is the small bin size! However, with the vacuum being the size that it is, I don’t know how much it could be improved. Since we vacuum daily, we have to empty it daily. If you didn’t have a pet, this likely wouldn’t be as large of an issue. Overall, I have no large complaints! It vacuums in a methodical pattern, has pretty good suction, doesn’t miss much, always returns to its charging dock on its own, maps the home really well, has an app, and does the job!

Money well spent! Highly recommend this machine. I've put it through it's paces and this thing is a champ. We have a German Shepherd, a cat and two kids, needless to say pet hair and dirt are a real problem in our home. This vacuum takes care of it all! I love being able to tell Alexa to start the vacuum in whatever room is needing cleaning. Also the fact that it can map the room and I can add No clean zones or areas that require its own special cleaning (think “clean in front of the couch the ”) is great. My only regret is not buying the base that can hold the dirt for several days. I will be buying one in the coming days.

This little Guy is oddly entertaining to watch which ironically defeats the purpose of having it! If I have time to watch it then I have time to get up and do it myself, but I don't care! Anyways this vacuum is everything I'd hoped it'd be. Its quiet and very thorough. and true to I robots claim it learns it's area and barely taps permanently placed items in your house after a couple of cycles. It does not crash into hardly anything and hasn't fallen down the stairs. I have all laminate floors so they get dirty quickly and it gets everything in one run and has no issues going over my various rugs and door mats. I feel blessed to have this fine piece of machinery in my home, just buy it already! you wont regret it.

I love the i7 Roomba. This is my second i7.......it’s easy to operate, even for an older woman! I bought the first i7 two years ago. I have both Roomba’s set up on my iPhone and I can vacuum the sunken den and upper floor at the same time, from anywhere! The Roomba’s really help me keep my floors clean. I have a blonde lab who sheds a lot........and it’s amazing how much dog hair and dander it picks up. It also vacuums under beds and sofas. I clean the rubber brushes when they get dirty and replace the filter and edge sweeping brushes as needed. My two i7 Roomba’s really make my life a lot easier!
