iRobot Roomba J7+

The Roomba j7+ and j7 are both on sale currently for Amazon’s early Black Friday deals. The j7+ is $150 off at $699.

I got this J7 plus on sale for $599 so for what I paid it's a really decent vacuum. I've owned a lot of iRobot Roombas for the past 20 years so I consider myself sort of an expert. Also keep in mind I do not hand out 5 star reviews lightly. This one gets 3 stars because I had some issues with the ap...

What worked for me to help sort out some kinks with the robot cleaning and it’s job success rate was doing a mapping run right after getting the update. Sorted out all the kinks in how well it performed.

Long story short I didn't so much have an issue with the Roomba j7+ itself it did its job at maintaining all of my carpets. As far as tile, laminate, and hardwood floors go it didn't do a very good job. With that said robot vacuums are not designed to clean carpets that are super dirty like a lot of...

I have used my Roomba J7 a few times to clean the downstairs of our house. This includes two mappings of the room too. I'd say it's only cleaning about 80% of the room, missing random spots here and there.

I had a very good, 5 year experience with my IRobot 900. I fully expected the J7+ to out perform the 900. I thought I was upgrading because I splurged and also bought the self emptying bin. I was completely wrong. I have been holding off on writing this review in order to give it a chance to do all ...

## Noise (2 stars). If it does not break the ears, the robot is not the quietest. In standard mode, it reaches 62 dB (A) against 54 dB (A) for the [iRobot Roomba .

Had the 9 and watched it literally chew up the edges of some small carpets. 20 years of wear in a minute. Sent it back and got the 9j. It does not destroy carpets, does not get tangled in fringe and overall does a satisfactory job. It has a shorter run time than the 9 but like the 9 it comes in for ...

Didn’t have a lidar. 1099$. **Roomba J7+:** Looked like it would have gotten me better carpet cleaning, but it wasn’t clear how good the object detection was. Didn’t have a Lidar.

I bought this model because it is specifically recommended for pet owners. It does a reasonably good job with pet hair, though does require frequent cleaning of the rollers (which fortunately is very easy to do). Makes some odd choices for navigation, but eventually does cover all areas. Battery lif...
