These vacuums are definitely worth the investment!!

The Roomba j7+ is the 4th robot vacuum I've used in my home. My first foray into robot vacs was a basic off-brand model which only had to cover one small room and didn't do a great job of it. It was the type that does the drunk walk around your room, bouncing off object and walls until it thinks it got everything. Next, we purchased a mid ranged model with LiDAR and wifi connectivity. This unit did a great job, but ultimately was undone by a home with twin toddlers and too much mess on the floor too much of the time. Then, last year, I received a model with mopping built in through the Tech Insider Network, which also relied on LiDAR and did a great job - it just had really low capacity and required being emptied all the time. Finally, we come to this iRobot Roomba j7+ - my first robot vac from the company that popularized the robot vac. I highlighted my previous robots because I think there are some key things that set this j7+ apart from my old models. First, the j7+ relies on a front mounted camera and machine learning instead of a LiDAR system. Second, the j7+ attempts to solve the 'capacity' problem by having the cleaning base station which empties the robot for you, greatly extending the amount of time between emptying the vacuum into the trash. On the first front, the j7+ using a camera instead of LiDAR, is a blessing and a curse. On the blessing side, it does a really good job of avoiding small obstacles (for example, socks) that are left on the ground. When you have two 5 year old boys running around, this is a great feature! Of course, iRobot advertises this model as avoiding dog poop, and I hope to never test that feature - but I absolutely believe it could do so. The downside of the system is that it does not quite map the edges of a space as accurately as my LiDAR vacs have done in the past. As a result, the Roomba j7+ bumps into more things than my previous vacuum (especially when moving in reverse). It's not like it bounds around crashing into things with force that could knock a vase over. It's just noticeable that it hits chair legs occasionally. So keep that in mind. On the second point, the base station that empties the robot for you -- I hate it. It's ludicrously, obnoxiously loud. Picture having the loudest, most powerful shopvac in the world, with no sound insulation, going off every time the vacuum returns home. It is beyond awful. My home has a semi open floor plan and hardwood floors - the base station is two rooms away from my bedroom, next to the trash can in the kitchen/dining room. It is such a cacophony of sound that it can function as an alarm clock for me even though the base station is on the other side of the house. It's around a corner and down a short hallway. It's insane. The noise from the base is enough that I really regret not picking the model without it, because the robot itself is really, really good (and not at all loud!). Due to the base, I can't use the robot how I normally used my previous units - we'd pick up the floor after the twins went to bed, then run the vac. Now I'd be too worried it will wake them up. So the robot will be running during the day when we are gone, and the base station will be scaring the crap out of our pets. Finally, this sorta goes in the section about the camera vs LiDAR, but I wanted to end the review on a high note and explain why I gave it 4 stars despite the loud base. The smart map feature of the Roomba j7+ is awesome. I was actually genuinely surprised at how accurate the map is given the lack of LiDAR - I just assumed it would be worse than the model I'm replacing. Definitely not the case. The map is very accurate, and iRobot's clearly done a lot of work to make it user friendly. When you go to divide the map into different "rooms," the app suggests a name for each space - it was perfectly right with each suggestion for me, even though my living, dining, and kitchen 'rooms' are almost the same space being divvied up. It was kind of a wow moment when setting up the map. Now that I've done the set up, it's really easy to tell my google assistant to run the roomba for just the kitchen, or just the entryway. Overall, the Roomba j7+ is a 5 star robot vacuum - great cleaning ability, good coverage, not very loud, good run time per charge. Unfortunately, it's got a 2 start base - a great idea that DOES work (and provides a great benefit!). The base is just too loud to be used when my kids (or us adults) are sleeping. If you can work around that, not having to constantly empty the bin from your robot is a huge plus. Either way, this vacuum is an upgrade from either of the premium models I have had before.

It takes some days to learn but it cleans everything

Does a very good job of vacuuming our whole house.

Waste of money. I have had it replaced twice u der warranty.

Not very good at suction. The Roomba S9 does much better job at cleaning.

I would give it a 5 star but it doesn’t vacuum against the baseboards. It’s such a time waste to have to go behind it and pick up debri on the floor.

Worst Vaccum I have ever tried, and I have stuck with it, as the problems didn't show up until the 30 days return period was over, IRobot sent me another vacuum, and I still have some issues, They are sending me another base. Let me tell you an honest opinion, I have paid $700 from hard-earned money, for Pain in the butt, I maintain this vacuum more than it works. Not good wit Pet's hair at all, unless you are someone who retired and needed something to waste your time on. It can't find the base most of the time and doesn't self-empty most of the time. Bin is full is my life story. Save your money do not buy this Junk. The customer service is good tho. The extending warranty is worth the new vacuum. I think that was my worst buy ever in my whole intier life.
