“I had it, and I’ve hated the noise level, and the navigation, not to mention it is the only robot that my dog was scared of.”
“Cleaning performance is excellent, slick app, and the robot is ingeniously easy to clean. However, mapping our 1000 sqft obstacle free hardwood floor unit took almost 2 days”
“Being a new owner in 10 days and wow, what can I say this thing is near perfect in what I need.”
“I have the one. If you expect miracle you should use common vacuum cleaner. If you are lazy like me you will tolerate imperfections as Roomba provides.”
“I have had one for about 40 days. Today is my last day to return it. Mine seems really load.”
“the roomba, despite having worse navigation, seems much more reliable in terms of not getting stuck and emptying the bin every time”
“I ended up going with the IRobot Roomba J7+ as it was supposedly better with pet hair; a big concern for me. I like the unit but i feel it doesnt work as well on carpet as it does on hardwood floors”
“I’ve been using a Roomba j7+ to vacuum my entire upstairs for 8 months. It’s fantastic.”
“The J7+ Combo supposedly had great "poop avoidance" features but it ran over the poop and smeared it all over our floors on two separate occasions, lol.”
“Currently have the iRobot Roomba J7+ and I'm just fed up with it's pretty pathetic excuse for mopping.”
“I have an irobot roomba j7+ I got refurbished off eBay direct from irobot and was as good as new (was a return or something) and was a decent chunk cheaper, so i highly recommend doing that.”
“iRobot Roomba J7+: Been happy with it. Mostly minor issues but sometimes the error messages dont make sense. The base means I dont have to empty the bin.”
“It does tend to get clogged with pet hair. Separately, it does not do well AT ALL if it gets wet even a little bit.”
“Having just purchased this a few weeks ago, and completely loving it so far.”
“The self-emptying base is loud. Really loud. About as loud or louder than a Shop Vac.”
“We went from an iRobot Roomba J7+ and Braava M6—which we suffered through for nearly two years—to a first generation Roborock Q Revo, which we’ve now had for a year. The iRobot machines were so clunky and annoying to use that changing over felt like we had catapulted a decade into the future.”
“I would also recommend the iRobot Roomba J7+, it’s the current top of the line and Roombas are known for being extremely long lasting and easily repairable. I eventually moved away from iRobot because I don’t like their navigation (they still slam into furniture fairly regularly, even the J7)”
“iRobot Roomba j7 on carpet - 50db iRobot Roomba j7 on hardwood - 70db iRobot Roomba j7+ base emptying - 87db So it’s still quieter than an upright vacuum by a good margin. 50db on carpet is crazy quiet.”
“Love my J7+, it's been cleaning our house for two weeks now and it's doing great!”
“It also has many advanced automation features and feels amazingly well-built. Unfortunately, its performance on low-pile carpet and bare floors is notably inferior to older models.”
“The iRobot Roomba j7 Plus is infuriating.”
“I get this issue whenever I install new rollers. Thought it was because I was using ones from Ali express but I just installed new oem ones and had exactly the same thing happen”
“It's pretty good, but I don't like how it bumps into furniture, I thought the camera was supposed to avoid that too but I was wrong. It's still a big help though”
“we recently got an iRobot Roomba j7 during Black Friday and it’s life-changing! No more constantly picking up dog hair whenever I accidentally drop something on the floor.”
