iRobot Roomba i6 vs iRobot Roomba i7+

I was expecting a little bit better from Roomba who's bread and butter is the robot vacuum. There are a few other brands that have vacuums that are so much quieter and after hearing those, I regret choosing this one almost entirely based on that. The battery: This stupid thing runs out of battery in 30-45 minutes, has to recharge for an hour, comes back out for a bit, and then recharges.

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
