iRobot Roomba i3+ vs iRobot Roomba i7+

Much noisier than I expected. Lately it is providing an error that claims "The Robot Base Needs Your Attention" but does NOT identify specifically what is the problem (seems to evacuate OK, bag is NOT full). Submitted issue to support and they sent out a new base, but it does the same thing. Have followed cleaning instructions for sensors in the base and the robot but nothing seems to address this issue

1. It is very loud when cleaning. As both my wife and I work from home I quickly learned that it can not be run during the day because it is just too loud and distracting. I also found that I couldn't run it in the evenings as it made TV watching unbearable

This product is so bad. The battery is always low, despite it barely running and only cleans one area of our home. Will never buy an iRobot product again and would not recommend this to anyone.

Also important to note is that the N8 will want to recharge at 15% battery, so the most you ever really get out of this thing is 85%. The next big problem for me was the design of the auto-empty base. They opted to use a dual port discharge method that sucks from 2 doors in the dust bin simultaneously. I was prompted with a firmware update right away so let that run and waited until the next day to do the initial mapping run
