Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers like how easy it is to set up and use the robotic vacuum cleaner. They say it has a mapping operation that seemingly would require no effort from them. They also say the app is very easy to use and you can schedule cleanings by area or for the whole house. However, some customers have reported issues with the battery life and value of the vacuum. They feel the vacuum runs out of charge and dies before it finishes cleaning. Customers are mixed on mapping, noise, ease of cleaning, quality, and performance.

Customers are dissatisfied with the battery life of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it doesn't last, it runs out of charge and dies before it finishes cleaning. The vacuum is incredibly loud and lasts about 15-20 seconds. This leads to the battery draining way faster per job than it needs to, and it would burn its battery.
"...Sometimes it said it is stuck, it's not, sometimes is said out of power, yet about 2-3 feet from clean base and sometimes just stops, ends job..." Read more
"...Cons:- Battery life isn’t great. We have a 1700 sq ft home with carpet in the bedrooms and tile everywhere else...." Read more
"...Battery life is pretty poor - it'll vacuum for about 1 hour, then needs to recharge (no change compared to when new)...." Read more
"...On many occasions the Roomba would run out of charge and die before it finished cleaning and before it could return itself to the charging base,..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
UPDATE: It has now been another month or so. I like the machine more and more and am changing the review to 5 stars. I have continued to tweak the programs I have set up on the app, and its performance improves. Since we have a cat, a major issue is the cat litter which she manages to drag all over. The machine sometimes will miss some litter in certain areas, and since we have dark floors it shows up brightly and drives me nuts. I can tell the robot to go over certain areas twice and that solves that problem. (Honestly the cleaners we hired would sometimes miss just as much if not more because the tiny specks get ground into the carpet). Another thing is that on our smooth wooden floors, the edge sweeping brush sometimes seems to scatter small particles around rather than pushing them into the rollers, and I have to have it go twice in places for that reason too. But with these tweaks it has been doing a really good job!! The suction is very good and the machine is surprisingly quiet. Also I am getting used to it and learning to leave it alone and not follow it around, so I’m much more relaxed about it. Another good thing—in the app the machine will tell you when it needs maintenance. There is a countdown to when I will need to change the filter and rollers, and I see that I will not need to change them nearly as often as I thought! The manual says filter every 2 month and rollers every 6 months, but according to my runtime it is going to be about double that, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice 😉.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I do like this little machine. I hate and I mean HATE vacuuming and my husband has a bad neck and can’t vacuum. We had hired a cleaning service but it made the cat go crazy and just became much more stressful than it was worth. So we decided to get this realizing it would pay for itself (in the absence of the cleaning service) after a few months.
You need to pick up all your things and allow it to make mapping runs when you first get started. The interface is an app on the iPad and it is very straightforward to operate, and you can make detailed programs and constantly tweak them based on the machine’s performance. The suction power and ability to pick stuff up—including cat hair and cat litter—is excellent. It is not very loud. The cat is not bothered by it, and EVERYTHING bothers her, so I am kind of amazed by that. I love that it goes back to its base and empties itself when its little bin is full.
I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple reasons. It is godawful expensive. I have learned that the replacement rollers and filters are kind of expensive and have to be changed very regularly. Also—and I admit a lot of this is my issue due to OCD—so far I feel like I have to babysit it and be aware of where it is and what it’s doing, which defeats some of the purpose of getting the machine to do the work in the first place. I am hoping this will improve in time since I have tweaked some of the programs and the machine is learning, and I just need to get used to it. Some of this is due to the fact that I have a multilevel home and have to carry the base around and then tell it to go, rather than just setting programs and ignoring it, which can’t be helped. It would be much better in a single level.
All in all it’s really good, and has the potential to be great, but time will tell. We will see if the rollers and filters have to be changed as often as it says. Probably the filters do, because of my cat, but maybe the rollers can last a little longer.
First time buyer of any model of IRobot Roomba vacuum.
Purchased the J7+ that includes the robot and the waste station.
I do like it. It is not perfect but after a couple of days of use, I am impressed.
There is a learning period for both myself and the robot.
1) First off, after unboxing, put the station in and put the robot into position to charge for a few hours. While charging download the app to your phone and connect. Read the user manual about how the ring light on the robot works. It is context based - charging, vacuuming, etc. - and means different things based on the context.
2)The light on the waste station is peculiar and does not stay on when plugged in and charging.
Nor does the light on the robot stay on when charging. There is a momentary initial light on each.
3) I should have read up on from their support website about Smartmaps first. After a full charge, I let the robot run through the first floor of my home. On the initial pass, It was able to do about 2.5 rooms before it needed to be recharged. While recharging, I mistakenly cancelled the initial full floor job. It worked out OK after the second full floor job - completing the first map and a new second map at the same time. Be prepared to walk around with your robot to train it where not to go. I was able to use the pause button on the phone and the top button on the robot. However, it may be better to hit the sense bars on the robot to initially avoid areas while you create the first couple maps. Subsequently, I plan to mark out the no-go zones.
4) Apparently, the position of the charge station is very important. You may want to plan this out in advance even before buying. The station needs to be near an outlet and have a clearance on each side of 1.5 feet, more distance is required if near a stairway. I am not sure how this effects your first maps if you move your station to another location on the same floor. iRobot advises getting a second waste station if you move your robot between two floors - one station for each floor. Clearly, the station position is important for the robot to know.
5) Preparation of your home for the robot can be important before using it. Pet food bowls, electrical cords, and floor mats are some of the things to consider. I found the robot had problems with a raised fireplace hearth. It was low enough to try to go on top of it but had trouble negotiating while trying to vaccuum along the edge. The fire place hearth is one area I plan on giving a no-go zone to, as well as the pet food bowls. Because preparation is needed, I am not sure how useful scheduling is going to be, unless you have a sparse home with no pets and little moveable furniture.
6) Maintenance - While on the first job ever, the vaccuum managed to wrap a cat play string around the rotating brush. I had to stop the robot and unwrap the string. (note to self - pick up all string) There was also cat hair around the rotating brush in the in joints of roller shafts that also needed clearing. I can see how maintenance is going to be a recurring thing with the robot, when you usually ignore your upright vaccums, but for emptying its bag and cleaning filters. Maintenance costs are going to be more than your upright vacuum, which you may want to consider with the upfront purchase costs.
7) Cleaner home? With hair shedding pets, I can see how one's home may remain cleaner if you regularly run the robot. The robot can also run under some things (some couches, some cabinets) where you cannot vacuum with an upright. However, there are likely to still be some areas/rooms where you don't want to run the vacuum robot - areas near food bowls, cat litter boxes, and bathrooms.
8) With a camera on the front of the robot, I think there is much that the irobot can do in programming it to clean better and navigate better.
9) I have much to learn about using the robot due to my inexperience. However, I think I can make this work to keep my home cleaner.

Yo me acabo de actualizar de una Roomba 960 a esta J7+ y sólo puedo decir que no me arrepiento para nada.
Esta roomba es la más “inteligente” de mercado por la gran cantidad de sensores y cámara con luz que ayudan a la detección de obstáculos, sin embargo, esto no la hace que sea excelente en todo, pero si una de las mejores opciones a considerar vs otras.
Pros:
Sensores por todos lados, esto evita que se caiga por las escaleras, que choque o raspe innecesariamente los muebles, paredes o puertas de tu casa.
Cámara delantera: mejora su sistema de navegación y detecta obstáculos COMUNES: ropa, cables, zapatos, bolsas… la lista se actualiza en cada nueva actualización que reciba la roomba, y como tiene un led integrado, no es necesario prender siempre la luz para ayudar en su camino.
* Base de limpieza: su bolsa se cambia entre 3 y 6 meses dependiendo de cuanto espacio aspira tu roomba.
* Mapeo inteligente: agrega habitaciones o zonas de limpieza o zonas prohibidas.
* Una o dos pasadas para aspirar.
* Compatible con Alexa, Google Assistant o atajos de Siri.
Cons:
* Es bastante ruidosa, sobre todo cuando se activa la base para limpiar la roomba.
* A pesar de que la base limpia la roomba hay que darle mantenimiento cada semana o cada 2 semanas para remover cabellos atorados o posibles basuras que no permitan su funcionamiento optimo.
* La batería dura poco.
* A veces la app de Alexa no es asertiva con las instrucciones dadas.
* Es grande, considera el espacio si es que tu depa o casa es pequeña y ni cuentas con espacio en tu piso para darle un buen acomodo.
* Dado que es un producto recién lanzado al mercado aún tiene ciertos errores.
* La creación de mapas no es la mejor, yo he tenido problemas que he resuelto cambiando de lugar su base y corriendo un par de veces el mapeo.
* Ya no tiene el botón para limpieza circular manual.
Algunos tips para su mejor uso:
Si eres un desesperado y quieres usarla antes de mapear TODA tu casa, puedes comenzar situando la base en un lugar con buen espacio y comenzar con un trabajo de descubrimiento, pararlo cuando sea necesario y continuar después con el resto de tu casa.
Los mapas no son tan precisos como los genera la Braava Jet m6, pero tiene la ventaja de que al completarlo puedas compartirlo con tu otroa robots compatibles ( o si ya tienes otro robot que mapea, puedes usarlos)
No dejes nada tirado en tu piso, aun cuando es bueno detectando obstáculos no siempre los evita, sobre todo cosas pequeñas como aretes, monedas, pasadores y cosas por el estilo.
No lo dejes limpiar zonas mojadas, pueden dañar los sensores.
Crea tantas zonas de limpieza o prohibidas como necesites, siempre ayudan con los pequeños detalles como zonas que no se limpian bien en las pasadas por habitación o tapetes que son delicados y no debe pasar la roomba.
Yo recomiendo comprar una cinta de “Burletes” para suavizar los bumpers de la roomba y ni lastimar muebles delicados.
Revisa rodillos y ruedas cada 15 días o cada mes para retirar cualquier detalle que evite que funcione adecuadamente.
Recuerda que estos robots están para ayudarnos con tareas diarias que nos consumen tiempo, no esperes que reemplacen al 100% el trabajo humano.

other than that, if this rumba version is launched in your country, then it is worth the cost, as it cleans quite nicely.
