The roomba does a really good job - the dust bin makes all the difference

My initial excitement about the iRobot Roomba j7+ (7550) quickly faded. I bought it hoping for the reliable, powerful cleaning iRobot is known for, but this model just doesn't live up to the brand's reputation. While it does an okay job on my hardwood floors, the performance is pretty mediocre. It's frustrating to see it consistently miss small bits of debris, and it seems to struggle especially with pet hair. For a robot vacuum at this price point, I expected it to handle a basic task like that without any issues. The automatic dirt disposal is a nice convenience, and the vacuum is good at avoiding obstacles like cords and furniture. But those features don't make up for the fact that its main job—actually vacuuming well—is a letdown.

So far, very good. It’s way quieter than I expected. Except when it empties into the base unit. But that also works well. The only thing I don’t like is the proprietary bags in the base unit. I empty them myself between cleanings and I will have to find some tweezers that can get in the opening better. Hair (2 cats, 2 dogs) is sucked up from hard wood and rugs. Is it perfect? Close! And I don’t have to push a vacuum around the house every other day. J7 with self emptying base is pretty awesome. $200 off at Best Buy or I would have went one model down.

Love this vacuum! So convenient and very effective. Took a little time to get the rooms mapped the way that I wanted them but it was worth the effort.

Automap generation and navigation is not that great, does clean well to the path it travels. But the coverage of the entire home is limited.

Its very convenient and easy to schedule even when you are out of the house.

Love the Roomba! We have a Golden Retriever who of course sheds hair. Our carpet is short pile nylon in a dark gray color. I couldn't keep up with the maintenance it took to keep our home looking "ready for company". This machine was a game changer. I would recommend this to anyone with pets.

I bought it to pick up my german shepherd’s hair and it does the job perfectly. The automatic emptying of the robot is great as well.

The Roomba j7 is a great vacuum. It literally takes all of the stress out of keeping your house clean. The automatic dirt disposal feature is the best!

Great lil helper! Very accurate in the mapping. Odd that it didn’t come with instructions but looked it up online. Thorough cleaning. Lil loud but cleans and avoids.

Does just as described! Feels like a ton of weight lifted off my shoulder. Less tress worrying about vacuuming, this guy does it all for you.

Supposed to be an improvement over my i7. But it has gotten lost a couple times for no noticeable reason. Still don’t comprehend the reasons for 2 bags in the waste bin.

Coming from a 600 series, this thing is worth its weight in gold. I haven't had to go find why it got stuck yet after 4 months of use.

Worked great until it failed after about 15 months of light duty. Could no longer reliably attach to the base to charge and wouldn’t charge to completion when it did. We cleaned the connectors and everything to no avail. Thankfully we had the Best Buy plan for it.

Good but pet hair gets stuck in vacuum. Have to manually dump it instead of the hair being sucked into the bin. Would be best if did not have to manually dump it. Needs tweaking.

leaves pet hair rolls on carpet, does not auto empty when bin is fill as pet hair falls out of bin, does not recognize keep out zones. My roborock s5 max blows this non sucking vacuum out of water, very very poor performance for 600 dollars. I'm returning this in a few days extremely disappointed with this not sure why all the high reviews on this the suction power is so low they don't even advertise it. even after it auto empty's there's still dirt and debris inside the bin and all over the exhaust port. I have less than 1200 sqft and its 85% tile this robot cant even vacuum the house with out returning to recharge. Don't believe the hyped reviews this thing is a poor excuse for a robot vacuum.

Works great for pet hair. I have two huskies and it picks up the hair just fine and the self empty is extremely helpful.

The j7+ does what it says it will. We have mostly tile with some carpet and the only problem is that it takes about twice as long to clean as the app estimates it will. It doesn't pick up everything from the corners, but it is ideal for taking care of the main areas on a regular basis. We go through and get the corners with our standard vacuum.

Does a pretty good job It does go under furniture where I would have to move furniture around to vacuum.

Great addition to our house keeping supply. Easy to program to do what you want it to do. Cleans when want it to clean - hands free!
