A:AnswerThe Roomba i7+ doesn’t have mopping capabilities. If you’re referring to the line of robotic mops offered by iRobot then yes, all Braava mops are tested and approved for use on all sealed hard-floor surfaces.
A:AnswerIt gets up and down area rugs without a problem in my home. The cleaning power is a bit lacking on rugs though. I wouldn’t expect too much if you’re looking to vacuum a whole room filled with carpet. We have hardwood throughout the house with some area rugs and it’s works awesome on the hardwood but I’m assuming it’s not really deep cleaning the rugs.
A:AnswerNo, it does not require Wifi to work. But to take advantage of all the features you do need a wifi connection so that the app can synch with the Roomba. On the app you can choose your preferences (if it should vaccum the same room twice, if you need the carpet boost when a carpet is detected, if you want it to clean edges) and also set up a cleaning schedule. The app will also let you know when the bin is full and if the Roomba has gotten stuck somewhere and needs rescuing.
A:AnswerI know the virtual walls work. I had the older 980 and those virtual walls work with the new i7 and i7+. I'm not sure about the lighthouses but you shouldn't need them because the i7 maps your house. Then, you can create your own virtual rooms. You can set the schedule to clean only certain rooms on certain days and times. I'm currently configuring the new schedule and it seems to be working great! No more setting up virtual walls to stop Roomba from going into rooms you don't want. I love the future!
