This Roomba j7 is amazing. It's super smart and can dodge stuff like cables and even pet mess, which is a lifesaver. This is the first roomba that uses an actual camera for obstacles which is a game changer. When it’s done cleaning you can review pictures of obstacles and find things u lost under couch or bed. The smartphone app is easy to use. I can set cleaning schedules and tell it where not to go, all from my phone. Plus, I can just tell it to start cleaning using Alexa, which feels great. It does a good job at cleaning up everyday dust and hair. I run mine everyday and it’s amazing how it always finds dirt even though house looks spotless. If you have a huge house you might want to get the upgraded model j7+ model with a bigger battery. But honestly it’s not a problem since the j7 will dock itself if it needs a charge and resumes cleaning when it gets fully charged. Tip: this j7 model you have to empty out the trash manually from bin on the Roomba. If you have a pet or a big house, I would recommend the j7+ model because it empties the trash from robot into the bigger bin at the dock station. Super convenient since the bin on robot is usually full each time I run mine. Overall, it's a handy little robot that saves me a lot of time. A bit pricey, but worth it for the convenience

Our last roomba sadly died after 5 years, and this model was our replacement. We have a 2,000 sqft tri-level home with carpet, hardwood, and vinyl flooring. We also have 2 large Rottweilers, a white pit bull, and a cat. This roomba outperforms it’s predecessor!!! The battery life is more than enough to vacuum our entire home on a single charge. It is a very powerful little machine and picks up a lot more dander and hair than expected. My only gripe with this model is that the debris tray is half the size of my old 7 series roomba. It’s not a major problem, it just has to be emptied more frequently. Which is not problem when you see what roomba picks up from under your bed The roomba app is also very fun to use, as your helping roomba learn the layout of your house and furniture. You can also control the roomba right from your phone. The built in camera in the front gives you the option to select if that item or person is a permanent or temporary obstacle.

Overall very nice vacuum. It does a decent job avoiding obstacles but seems to get itself stuck in places every couple of weeks. I have had mine for about a year now and it still runs well but seems to be getting louder.
