 My acid test for it was if I could just tell my smart speaker “Start vacuum”, and come back and find a clean without me babysitting it and it delivers there. You have to setup avoid zones if you have wire heavy areas though once it’s setup it works. Thank you to other people on this subreddit for helping me and also to Vaccum Wars.

**Roomba S9+:** More powerful but didn’t feel worth it for the price. Didn’t have a lidar. 1099$.

 Some parts could be more intuitive, and I would like more than 2 floor maps - though these are nice to haves. All in all the app is well done and polished. Tells you when you need to take a specific action like clean the filter.

I need a vacuum I can "Set and forget", that won't yell at me that it's stuck every single time I have it try to clean while I'm out of the house.  I don't care about the cost, I'll spend 10 grand on one of these fuckers if it can actually friggin' work without needing to be babysat.  Any recommendations?

I can't seem to find one that checks my boxes.  The one I see recommended the most on here is the Ecovacs deebot, but I tried that and it sucked.

The Roomba s9+ appears to be the best cleaning robot, but it's 3+ years old now, and also is missing obstacle avoidance, which even budget-priced vacuums have today.

First, the robovac works well - it mapped our house, created zones, navigates well, etc.  All of the promise of a robovac - it's the real deal.  I can give it commands, even navigate it around the house with the camera going when I'm at work to take a look if I want.  The auto-empty base station is pretty neat too (well, except for 1 thing)

  Unfortunately there is a design hinderance with it, at least with our specific dog hair situation.  Basically, in the robovac (and the regular Lupe), dog hair tends to ball up - becoming a tumbleweed mass.  The dust bins are fairly small - look closely at video reviews.  The auto-empty stations tend to have smaller openings even yet - ours is on the bottom - two little vents in the dock that go to the bottom of the robot

How does it do?  As indicated it navigates very well.  It cleans pretty decently too - better than I expected in regards to dog hair in the rugs.  As you might imagine it isn't perfect because of how it navigates around objects (it's a round vacuum and some corners it can't get in has dog hair tumbleweeds), but we use our regular vacuum to hit those corners/etc.

We have a three-story townhouse with 2 sets of stairs, about 1500 square feet total. We also have a 100 lb dog that sheds an amount of hair the size of a small child on a daily basis. 

We are two working professionals, so we realistically only get to vacuum once a week even though it could probably use it every day.

We are looking to automate the process a bit and get a robot vacuum that we can run on a daily basis and move to different floors every other day to help keep the place from turning into one huge shag carpet. 

The top floor is carpet, the first and second floor is vinyl with a few rugs here and there.

Any recommendations? I wasn't sure if a robot vacuum is the right solution since the multiple stories and the long narrow setup of the house.

Though will admit, I have noticed increasing muscle tone from hauling our vacuum up and down the floors. Still would gladly let a robot take that over. 

Budget is open -- I will gladly pay for something that is good and saves us time and stress in the long run

Robot vacuum recommendation -- 3 story townhouse with a huge, constantly shedding dog

- mopping (although I have seen the d9 I think it's called which looks to be the ecovacs competitor to the narwhal)

Ordered Ecovacs T9+ AIVI from AliExpress (this version is not being sold in US) as I needed all these and this was the only one which fit the bill

Once I filtered with these criteria(Auto empty base, LiDAR, Camera AI, Mop) in vacuum wars, it was clear this is what I needed(no results but T9+ AIVI fits the bill)

The world's smartest cleaning robots just got smarter…and that's Genius. The Roomba j7+ robot vacuum with Genius technology is thoughtfully designed with you and your specific needs in mind. It avoids objects in its way (including pet waste), it allows for automatic multiple cleanings a day, it empties its bin so you don’t have to and is ready to start cleaning the moment you open the box! It does all of the work, so that you don’t have to!

America's Test Kitchen

This robot was outstanding at picking up nearly every last bit of the sample messes we scattered, partly due to its unique dual counter-rotating rubber brushes. We appreciated that it would periodically dock to recharge and empty its own bin (the dock holds replaceable vacuum cleaner bags) before returning to cleaning. It quickly mapped multiple rooms accurately, making it easy to set cleaning schedules and assign it to specific rooms on demand. Its app wasn’t always the most user-friendly, with some tasks taking multiple steps, but it was adequate. One caveat: While the manufacturer guarantees that this robot avoids pet “accidents,” it didn’t do so consistently: Sometimes it was remarkably clever in dodging the larger pieces of soft plastic dog poo we placed on the floor, but it plowed right over small ones. It did avoid electrical cords as promised. We liked that this robot can be set to start cleaning when it detects that you have left the house and stop when you return, using the location on your phone or by linking to other smart home features such as your door locks. You can also set it to be silent at specific times, such as while you have Zoom meetings or the baby naps.

Consumer Reports

The iRobot Roomba j7+ is a solid performer in CR’s tests, and that includes an Excellent score on bare floors. The manufacturer says the vacuum has smart mapping technology that allows it to learn, map, and adapt to the areas to be cleaned. Once the robot is docked, a vacuum in the docking station automatically sucks the contents from the bin into an enclosed disposable bag in the base.

CR’s take: The iRobot Roomba j7+ builds on the same robotic core as the Roomba i3 Evo above and earns similar scores on most of our tests. But the Roomba j7+’s navigation system is much more advanced. For starters, it can learn Smart Maps for multiple levels of your home (instead of just one floor, as with the i3 Evo), so you can use a smartphone app to tell it to clean certain rooms and skip others. But the most significant upgrade is the j7+’s obstacle-avoidance system. It uses a camera on the front of the bot to recognize certain hazards, including socks, clothes, towels, and—drumroll, please—pet waste. Once it spots a hazard, the j7+ adjusts its cleaning path to make sure it doesn’t snarl (or smear) the obstacle. CR has not tested this particular feature. Worth noting: iRobot promises that it’ll replace the vacuum if it fails to avoid pet waste in the first year after purchase. One downside of that front-facing camera: The Roomba j7+ is the only iRobot model that falls short of our top rating for data security.Another option to consider is the lower-priced Roomba i7+, which has the same cleaning system and Smart Map capabilities as the j7+ but doesn’t have the obstacle-avoidance feature. It’s an older model, but it’s still available from many retailers.

 Easy to set up the "dividers" and "room assignments", and "clean zones" 3. Nice to be able to do a quick small job using the room assignments. 4. The self emptying feature is nice  While the pros are good, I post them with a grain of salt because they don't always work as they should

 I feel the need to be home babysitting the J7+ to get it through a complete job 11. Does not clean as well as the 900 12. It needs bags. Why couldn't it just empty into the big bin and empty that when needed

 While it self empties after each job, you still need to manually wipe and clean all of the other parts. 10. I feel the need to be home babysitting the J7+ to get it through a complete job 11. Does not clean as well as the 900 12

  PROS: 1. Very easy to set up 2. Easy to set up the "dividers" and "room assignments", and "clean zones" 3. Nice to be able to do a quick small job using the room assignments

Expected More - Let Down

 I also can not use the function where you look at the photos with my iphone 11 pro max. I was finally able to do the set up using my OLD ipad air 2. I find it unacceptable that the app will not work for one of the main features or to set it up, using my newish Iphone on the latest iOS software. In talking to other users this problem is common

 This model does an great job on hard surfaces but does not really do the greatest job on carpet compared to my older 980 which had a carpet boost setting that most of the other 900 robots lacked. I also liked that I could set my 980 to focus on cleaning and could turn off edge clean. It's probably silly on my part but I like to see the neat lines on my carpet after it cleans and it seems to do the back and forth cleaning with the j7 and then go around the edges so I see these deep marks on the edges and going around any furniture. I liked that I could turn that off with my 980 so I just saw neat rows

 I could always go turn it on once in awhile but honestly that edge feature is more important with hard floors, than it is with carpet.  One other thing I find odd is that the app shows me carpet the robot has detected, yet there are no settings for changing vac power level and it does not act differently on carpet, so why is the thing worried about detecting my carpet?  I ended up having to set it to clean twice once one way and once across what it vacuumed to get it as clean as it got it with my 980 alone. I probably would have been better off going with the s9 for carpet but I did not want to pay that much and upstairs there is not as much dirt so it does and acceptable job. I just think they could have given it a little more power and more settings

 I did try turning it off and was hoping it would shut that light off but the light still is shining even with the feature turned off. It seems like it would waste power having that light on all the time and if I don't use the feature why is the light still on?  Ok so on to the actual vacuuming. This model does an great job on hard surfaces but does not really do the greatest job on carpet compared to my older 980 which had a carpet boost setting that most of the other 900 robots lacked. I also liked that I could set my 980 to focus on cleaning and could turn off edge clean

Good But Some Glitches

Having two points for the dust to exit creates poor suction and I ALWAYS have to empty the dust bin manually. It always dies out in the middle of the house, and is constantly getting stuck. The app is nice but it will randomly wipe our map away like we have never used it before. The battery dies SO fast that if I want it to clean our entire first floor (We live in a 1,800 sqft home so maybe 1,200 sqft) I have to run it on low suction which I feel like barely makes a difference

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. 

 For now, I say, if you have the funds, and you don't have the time to regularly vacuum, this is worth the price.

## 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 J7+](https://www.lesnumeriques

Robot vacuums have come a long way since the days I used to babysit my original Roomba (circa 2006), following it around to make sure it didn’t thrash around on a threshold or ignore the miniature lighthouses and trundle unseeingly into a no-go zone. Back then, my biggest issue was coming home to a robot vacuum that had gone about 10 minutes into its cleanup route and been derailed by a shoe, sock, or dress-up wig.

 Floors can’t really be cleaned if they’re still littered with clutter. But if it means the bot won’t get tripped up by that stray cable you didn’t know was sitting under the couch or the pair of shoes your significant other carelessly discarded in its path, then there’s some benefit. 

 iRobot does not release suction power stats but says that the j7 is 10 times stronger than its entry-level Roomba 600, whereas the s9 is 40 times stronger. The j7 is just fine for regular dirt and debris, and even if you have more challenging tasks (copious kitty litter, for example), it’s hard to recommend the $250 upgrade to the s9, as you don’t get the obstacle navigation features. In my testing of the s9, it routinely fell prey to socks and charging cables.

Where things diverge significantly is battery life — the Roomba can go an impressive 1 hour and 45 minutes on one charge, whereas the Jet Bot tops out at an hour on full power. Both will go back to the base, recharge, and resume, but the Jet Bot took almost twice as long to clean our entire downstairs living area as the Roomba because it had to recharge in the middle while the Roomba could do the whole space in one go.

Home robots are getting smarter

 I can't imagine going forward they will keep this design. If you live in a small apartment then you should definitely be aware that you will be disturbing your neighbors or yourself when it self empties. It's louder than my large shop vac.

 I'm not that sensitive to noise. The noise level is just a design flaw. I can't imagine going forward they will keep this design. If you live in a small apartment then you should definitely be aware that you will be disturbing your neighbors or yourself when it self empties

The good and bad

I ordered this product last week and it arrived a few days later. I ordered the combination that had extra filters, rollers, and brushes since I have 4 kids and 4 animals in my home. I should mention, I have a German Shepherd that is constantly shedding and a long-haired Siamese cat. Between these two animals, I should sweep daily, but I don't have that kind of time, so I splurged on the Roomba
