Best Roomba Yet!

This Roomba is the best one yet! Other than it being a typical Roomba, the new smarts this one has is the best yet. This has the best obstacle detection I've seen yet. If it happens upon an obstacle it takes a picture of it and at the end of the session the app prompts you to review the last job so you can choose what you want it to do in that spot next time. Hasn't run over anything it wasn't supposed to, not once. The room mapping was the main reason I purchased this and it is stellar. You tell it to clean a certain room or rooms and it does exactly what you tell it to. And it's constantly learning so it'll only get smarter the more it vacuums. I'm kinda kicking myself for not getting the plus version but I don't mind emptying the dust cup after every session. I purchased an open box excellent condition one from the app and saved over $100 too, which is nice.

It dose a pretty great job at cleaning most of the time. That being said some sensors broke after 8 months and fortunately i had it under warranty. I bought it on a huge sale for black Friday. I wouldn't pay full price

Very reliable! We have a household with 3 teens and 3 dogs and this robot vacuum keeps up! The only thing I would recommend is that is you have a large household to spend the extra money on the dock that empties it for you. No complaints here, over a year later and ours is still going strong.

We. Bought this vacuum to replace another brand. That did not work for us. This one was vastly superior.. It creates a map of your house that is very helpful to keep track of what has been done. You can also separate portions. Of the house. To. Give more attention to areas with a greater need. The only thing we still wanted was not to have to constantly empty the canister with its dusty mess. So we returned it and bought the same vac, but the version with the home base that vacuums it out as needed. That way you only have to remove and replace a bag with the debris every month or two.

I was a little skeptical at first, but after watching it vacuum for a week or so I can’t believe I didn’t buy one years ago. Now I will say it is quieter than I expected it to be because other people who have older models said is was loud. No this one, its very quiet.

I had previously been skeptical about the purchase of a robotic vacuum until now. I recently purchased on sale based on positive reviews and recommendations from a friend . I am currently using to clean a mix of tile floors and area rugs. Overall the vacuum does a good job cleaning both. However, it does remove a significant amount of material fibers from the area rug. This fills the vacuum bin quickly and requires the vacuum to be emptied multiple times. Otherwise, the product does a good job cleaning and is more convenient than a non-robotic unit.

Id say this is more of a useful tool for upkeeping already cleaned homes. Keeps floors clean and carpets maintained. Id still buy a vacuum for the carpets to get a deeper clean than this can provide

Still gets stuck transitioning from throw-rugs to floor too often, like previous generation Roombas. But does a great job vacuuming otherwise.

Excellent vacuum. It won’t take the place of your vacuum completely but it does cut down on day to day dust, lint and dog hair. I have two golden receivers and this handles their hair no problem. It does get stuck on rollers but that takes ten seconds to clean. Long hair gets stuck in any vacuum This vacuum has a light and a camera that shows by what blocked its path. I actually cleaned under my bed because its SO NICE to get rid of the dust and dirt under the bed without having to pick up your mattress. Very happy

I like that this can map rooms. Makes it easier to vacuum different parts of the house when needed. Doesn’t always vacuum the correct rooms though.

This is my 4th robot vacuum over the past six years… Finally, one that actually understands where it’s cleaning. It did a great job mapping my house and it cleans methodically in rows, so it doesn’t miss a lot of dirt/etc. it also has successfully avoided running over various pet-related accidents — the sensors are very sensitive about seeing “obstacles” which I appreciate. I also love that you can just ask it to clean one specific area/room. I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5 so far.

Had this for a while now and while I had really high hopes for it, it doesn’t work exactly as described. Potty training two puppies means accidents….and this model is supposed to recognize pet OOPS and avoid them. It failed. It also drags dog fur all over the house and deposits it on the carpets it’s supposed to be cleaning. It’s a good secondary vacuum when you don’t want to vacuum every day, but it’s no match for my terrier on its own.

Best robot vacuum I’ve ever had. I bought the 690 version years ago and loved it. But it had zero intelligence. It would just go and bump into things endlessly until it finished the house. This model has a camera, a light and cleans in lines, it remembers furniture and alerts you to obstacles it encountered during is cleaning. We even have a shag area rug that it cleans without getting stuck. I was am so impressed with then technology and it cleans Better then if you walked around with your upright vacuum. My best purchase of the year !

Tough on rugs, messy to change

I purchased two of these about 18 months ago, one for upstairs, one for downstairs, intrigued by the ability to go back and forth in rows after mapping rooms. It took a long time to map the house, and the Roomba j7 seems to take a long time to figure out room to room cleaning where you've partitioned in open space into two or three areas with flooring transitions. It had really aggressive rubber rollers as bristles that ripped up the edges of our large living room area rug, so we setup an "avoid" area on the map and do the rug with a manual vacuum cleaner. It also has problem flipping up lighter washable vinyl backed area rugs so we have to pick those up before running a cleaning. Pulling out the bin when it's half full or more to empty it always leaves a mess, so it's an obligation to bring a handheld vac to clean up the mess from the robot vac bin.
Honestly, I'm not sure that's really saving us any time since we can't just let it run and cope with the house as it is. It's largest benefit is as a threat to our children to pick up their mess otherwise the ambivalent robovac will suck up their toys and other things left on the floor.
