Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product saved my marriage. - Husband who works from home (wife who doesn't).

It’s very good, very helpful and we can clean home from office by just one click

This is our second Roomba. We love the fact that it is self emptying.

Generally does a good job. Nice that is can vacuum under most of the furniture. Nice that it updates the map when it finds differences while vacuuming.

I’m having issues with the Roomba. It’s a mind of its own when cleaning the apartment even though it has already mapped it. I’m thinking of returning it if it continues behaving like that

Good purchase and good cleaning execution. I love it

The new Roomba does a great job! Thorough and easy to program.

Highly recommend this machine. It is also one of the newest models. It is very efficient and smart.

The best rumba yet. It’s louder than my j7 is the only bad thing, but it is well worth the wait.

This is a powerful unit that does a great job scheduling cleaning and setting up the area map

We have animals so there’s constantly stuff getting tracked into the downstairs. Having this product has completely changed the dynamic in the house as the floor is always clean - mo more stepping on crumbs and debris!

Roomba is awesome, cleans very good. Covers all areas and maps the area very accurately. Certainly will recommend to others. Had Roomba once and purchased this as replacement. Fan of iRomba

Works amazing, very responsive and cleansvery well.

Best value, excellent quality, and ease of use. highly recommended...

Will purchase similar items again at Best Buy. Went with this model as my intro to these type products, not disappointed!

I have enjoyed my Robot sweeper/Vacume, it does a pretty good job!

I don't know how I lived without the iRobot Roomba j9 I would recommend this product to anyone. I love it.

It’s great works nice true to expectations, nothing to complain

Had a problem at first, had to be rebooted a few times, but works great now.

I have had the pleasure of using the Roomba j9+ Self-Emptying Robot for a few cycles now, and this is one of the best investments you can make in your home if you want to save time and have clean floors.   I have been a Roomba user for a few years now, and I had the opportunity to upgrade my robot vacuum, and I'm glad I did. The Roomba j9+ brings all the best features you can ask for and packs them in one unit.   The j9+ took about 10 minutes to set up, including unboxing. I already had the iRobot app, and adding another robot was easy. After I added the robot, it wanted to perform a mapping run. The mapping run took maybe 45 minutes - I didn't pay attention too closely, but the app notified me that the mapping run was complete, and I could define and name the rooms in my home.   How you define rooms takes a bit of getting used to - you define a room border, and then you have to move the map to put the border line where you want it. Once I quickly caught on to this mechanic, I laid out my floor plan in minutes.   After laying out a floor plan, you can start or schedule a job. When scheduling a job, you can select which rooms to clean - and in which order. I only realized this once I started my scheduled job, and the robot started going to my kitchen instead of starting near the base, as I had been accustomed to with my old robot.  This is great in that you can schedule rooms to be cleaned to work around your schedule - i.e., we can be finishing up a meal while the robot is cleaning another area of the home rather than having the robot come in and clean while you're eating dinner, etc...   As to how the robot cleans the floor, I have absolutely no complaints. Being a mapping robot, it cleans in straight lines, and the edge brushes do a great job of sweeping debris just outside the range of the vacuum rollers into the path of the rollers to be vacuumed up. The carpets look refreshed when done; there are nice lines in the carpet showing where the robot has run. Transitions from carpet to hard flooring are no challenge, and the robot is small enough to get under some of our larger furniture pieces.   Battery life is excellent for us. We have 3,000 square feet - spread between two floors, so I'll split the difference and say we have 1,500 square feet on the first floor where this robot runs. It usually cleans the entire first floor on one charge, not having to return to the base to charge and resume a job.   One significant feature this robot brings is obstacle avoidance - the robot uses the camera and other technologies to attempt to avoid obstacles on the floor. This may not seem like a huge deal, but it is a game changer. I used to do an entire floor cleanup before the Roomba ran, but with the advanced obstacle avoidance - the robot will move around most obstacles on my floor. This is great if my son's toys are left on the floor - the robot will maneuver around the toys rather than trying to climb over and get stuck, requiring human intervention. The obstacle avoidance isn't perfect, though, as it didn't detect my son's train tracks on the ground - but they're about the same color as the carpet and only a centimeter or so high.   The best feature of this robot is the self-emptying bin. When the cleaning job is done, the robot docks and empties the contents of the internal container into a much larger bin in the base. This allows you to let the vacuum run with much less human intervention. I can go from emptying the robot three times a week to servicing the bag in the base once a month.   Job stacking is a bonus feature that some users will be able to take advantage of. I now have a job that vacuums the kitchen and then runs our Braava jet in the kitchen. After cooking dinner, we can run this job and always have clean kitchen floors. We frequently leverage this using the iRobot Alexa skill - so all we have to do is ask, and our fleet of robots cleans our kitchen floors.   If there is one downside to this robot, it is a bit loud if it's running near me. If it's running in a different room, the noise level is usually acceptable.   Overall, this robot will be a fantastic addition to any home. Maintaining clean floors saves an immense amount of time, and my floors always look presentable.
