    The quick and dirty. Works well enough for our 1700 sq ft. -Wi-Fi enabled -Label and Map rooms (digital barriers, keep out zones) -Set schedule or on demand cleaning -Cleans well on carpet and ok on floors (there is usually a little debris still left on floors) -It is noisy, but so is a regular vacuum -Does sometimes wander but eventually finds its way

    pros and cons- louder than Deebot, small bin

    We have had an N79 deebot for about 3 years, $179. The deebot was random, quiet, and had a bin thrice the size of the I7. We got the I7 and M6 for 1000 sq foot of hardwood floors, 4 kids, 110 lb yellow lab. we do not use it on carpeted areas. Pros- it maps out the house, so it is thorough. Works very well. It should work with the m6 braava mop. Once they finish mapping the house out I hope that will improve. Should be able to pick rooms after the 5th time it sweeps, still smart mapping this would probably work on carpeted areas, no way was our deebot doing carpet Cons- the very small bin needs emptied every time, our deebot was about 3 times larger. We vacuum daily, it holds about a cup of debris. It is loud, you have to turn the tv up quite a bit. Its loud, and needs to be emptied each time, holds about a cup of debris. Very thourough. Works well on our 1000 feet of hardwood floors for dog hair and crumbs form the kids breakfast. It would probably do more that is just all we need it for. if someone had 1000 ft or less of hard floors they could probably do a cheaper version.

    Should have bought a "good one" the first time

    To explain - I've had 3 different robot vacuums - well, technically 4 - before this Roomba. Started out with an Ecovacs Deebot N79. It was good - cleaned well - rambled all over the place, then failed after 7 months. Ecovacs replaced it. I used it for a while then there was a great deal on the updated version, the N79S. Gave the N79 to my daughter then IT failed. Good grief. No warranty support on that one. So I read the Consumer Reports reviews and purchased a Eufy 30C - a bit pricier, but the reviewers raved about it. Gave the N79S to my daughter. I have to tell you, the Eufy is a HUGE disappointment. Gets tangled in everything, doesn't make it back to the charger, doesn't pick up as much dirt as the Ecovacs. Now the other N79S has failed but Ecovacs is replacing it. So I gave the Eufy to my daughter for her second floor, and bit the bullet and bought this Roomba. I've only had it a day, but after 2 sessions I'm already blown away. It is systematic - you can see the grid and the fact that it's mapping - it picks up a lot of dirt - it has made it back to the charging station both times out, and it's not a "wandering search"...no, it makes a bee line straight to the charging station. Sure, it's pricier, but you get what you pay for. Only negative - it's NOISY compared to the Ecovacs and the Eufy, but I can live with the noise to not have to deal with the other frustrations. Do yourself a favor and skip the cheaper products...you'll end up buying this eventually and you can save money in the process.

    I am a Roomba fan, and this is my third. My first was a first generation model that has long ago died. I am also using a 600 series Roomba, but it is very loud. This new member of my Roomba family is very quiet and very effective at cleaning. I haven't yet started to use the app to control the unit. I have just turned in on every morning as I leave my room, and it cleans the master bedroom and my den. I cannot believe how much it picks up. With 4 cats in the house, it collects a lot of fur. I love it! The negative is the price. I did get it on sale, but it is pricey.

    Our new robot vac!

    We had a Samsung and loved it but it kept getting errors so we returned it for the iRobot. It cleans well but my only real complaints are as follows: The bin is way too small and literally has to be emptied every time it runs, it hold barely nothing before it alerts you to empty it It is much louder while running than our old one Overall it gets the job done, but I really wish the bin was large enough to clean a at least twice before being emptied

    Love my Roomba

    This is an upgrade from my Roomba 960 that came in for warranty repair and couldn't be fixed. The i7 does a better job on carpets and has a great mapping system that lets you identify and label each room, set up clean zones and keep out zones. It is reasonably quiet, but it is still a struggle to watch TV or be on the phone with the vacuum in the same room. All in all it does a great job. I ended up purchasing a second one so I have one for each floor.

    This is my 4th Roomba. This one by far has more suction power than the others. The only reason I gave a 3 because it is also louder than the others and no way to adjust the sound or turn it off. Gave 3 also because it does not always detect when the battery is getting low so it can return to base for charging like other one did.

    I am very happy with this product. I do think the self empty base would be nice. It runs around the house and picks up a lot of dirt and animal hair our cat leaves around. It is a little noisy but l can live with that since l have a lot of area to vacuum . It helps a lot. It has a little trouble getting on the base once in a while but maybe because of our tile floors. Most times it is fine.

    I love that I can just set a schedule and Roomba can do it’s thing. It is a little noise which I discovered when I set it to run in the middle of the night. I have cats so the bin filled up fairly quickly and needed to be emptied. I wouldn’t be able to let this run while I was away from home.

    We got the i7 to replace a 10 year old Roomba. It is amazing how much better this is. My old Roomba was essentially a toy that swept debris off the carpet, but this one is a real vacuum cleaner that cleans to a surprising degree. Although it doesn't clean as well as my upright vacuum, it really pulls a lot of dirt and dust from the carpet, and we run it several times a week. The mapping function works extremely well, and I really like the feature that allows me to pick a room for the Roomba to clean. I don't have to spend as much time setting up virtual walls or physical barriers, nor do I have to make sure that all of the rooms are picked up before running the Roomba. I generally run the Roomba either as I'm leaving for work or when we go to bed, and it completes the job 90% of the time. A couple of times it has stopped working because it found something that we didn't clear off the floor beforehand (like a cat toy or a plastic bag), and other times it has trouble reducing in its charging station because it has pushed the dock into a position that makes it inaccessible. That's really just a minor inconvience as it recharges quickly and it is easy to redo the job. It also does an amazing job sweeping our hardwood and tile floors, although it very loud on bare floors. (I can't run it just before going to bed in the kitchen.)

    A little bit noisy and a larger waste bin would be great. Seems to take a while to “learn” the house but that could be our fault and 2 little Shiz Zeus. A bit on the expensive side but so far worth every penny.

    Works wonderful. Especially with pet hair. Slightly loud and can get stuck often. But definitely reduces the need for an actual vacuum cleaner.

    It works OK but it’s very noisy and it bumps into a lot of stuff. If you have thick carpet it gets stuck and can’t get on top of it. Easy to clean. It gets in knowing when you get notifications on your phone that the vacuum gets stuck low battery or bin gets full. Or sometimes unknown air or it gets lost trying to find the docking station.

    Terrible build quality and dumbest robot vacuum ar

    - had to return the first one as the bin was defective and was missing a seal around its moth so all the dust would spill out and under the robot instead of going into the bin. The room a thought it had filled the bin after just five mins of vacuuming every time. - one of the two motors failed after 3 weeks and it couldn’t move without constantly turning - keeps getting confused about what floor it’s on and will not follow instructions on what rooms to clean - noisy !! - mobile app is terrible, needs to be restarted each time you want to use it - drains battery if not plugged into charge constantly.

    Good, but not great. You'd think these would be by far the best robot vacuums available, but the Roomba is much louder and more expensive than a much cheaper brand that we are also using. It does a good job, but really expected more from our 2nd Roomba purchase.

    We had the 980 and were very pleased with how well it cleaned. It stopped working after 3 years and we replaced it with the i7. Absolutely outstanding. Half as loud and twice the pick up ability. The great thing is being able to program it to clean no matter where you are AND it has a memory ability so if you only want to clean one room, it will go to THAT room, clean and return to the charging station. We love it!
