AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the performance of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it does a good job overall, and the feature certainly seems to work very well. However, others say that the performance is lacking, inefficient with time and battery life, and that the unit is rather slow.
"...The robot needs to learn your floorplan and that can take a long time since it's bumping into everything...." Read more
"...The machine is quieter, doesn't have problems and gets the job done in about 40% less time..." Read more
"...My only complaint is that the spinning side brush spins so fast that it often throws light debris out of the cleaning path." Read more
"...This isn’t meant to be a negative review. It works well, but is not perfect...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of cleaning. Some mention that the robot assistant does an amazing job of cleaning, helping keep the floors moderately clean. They also say that it does a pretty good job cleaning up dog hair and cleared spaces. However, others say that the vacuum would not clean saying the bin was full. They say that while the Roomba can empty its own dustbin, it maps and cleans rooms at strange angles.
"...Pros:- Cleans everywhere I tell it to clean.- We have two adults, two dogs, and two cats. It picks up everything we leave behind.-..." Read more
"...Robot refused to work.Along the way, the robot would not clean stating the bin was full. It was empty...." Read more
"...going over areas twice to get all the cat litter, and my house stays so clean...." Read more
"...We no longer use our upright vac. However, the dust mop is useful to get where the robot can't...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that the app is very user friendly and straightforward to operate, while others say that it's not the most user friendly, programming it takes a little learning and patience, and is time consuming and tedious.
"...The Roborock uses lidar which does not require lights and is much more efficient and effective in its journey...." Read more
"...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..." Read more
"...minor issues is that the Roomba software is polished but also very limited on options as compared to my inexpensive LIDAR unit...." Read more
"...PROS:1. Very easy to set up2. Easy to set up the "dividers" and "room assignments", and "clean zones"3...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the mapping function of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's really cool, it does a good job of mapping your house and breaking it down into zones, and the software is impressive. Others say that it is questionable, doesn't work, and is a little wonky.
"...Prior to it learning my house, it's navigation looked like it was non existent...." Read more
"...Mapping was spot on and obstacle avoidance works great...." Read more
"...Speaking of clean maps, it has lost the maps several times which forces me to remap the entire floor...." Read more
"...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...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the noise. Some mention that the vacuum is extremely quiet when cleaning, while others say that it's noisy, the base is loud, and the emptying process is incredibly loud. Some customers also say that the suction is only okay.
"...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...." Read more
"...All in one machine. The machine is quieter, doesn't have problems and gets the job done in about 40% less time..." Read more
"...Roomba takes several minutes of trying, resulting in a lot of noise (sounds like damage is being done to the Roomba), sometimes it fails to cross..." Read more
"...state it as clearly as I can: when the vacuum self empties, the base is LOUD AF...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it runs into things more often, gets stuck all the time, and consistently misses spots. They also say that it spends a lot of time banging into everything and spouts multiple errors at them.
"...Also because LIDAR isn't bumping into things to navigate it gets stuck under my couch because the fabric under my couch sags and the LIDAR robot..." Read more
"...the spinning side brush spins so fast that it often throws light debris out of the cleaning path." Read more
"...They are attached lower to the ground and will bring dirt out better...." Read more
"...They run into things more often, forget where they are, forget where the base is and are not consistently reliable...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it's a little expensive, lackluster, and overpriced. They also say that the replacement rollers and filters are expensive and have to be changed very often. Customers also say it'll waste space and money.
"...They sure have gotten more expensive...." Read more
"...I have learned that the replacement rollers and filters are kind of expensive and have to be changed very regularly...." Read more
"...The bags to me seem reasonable...." Read more
"...Summary: Too much money for too many things that should work but don't! I expected more from this brand!..." Read more
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. Customers also say that the motor will die as soon as the warranty period ends.
"...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
"...4. Seems to be confused while mapping5. Battery life could be MUCH better...." Read more
"...The rollers would wear beyond being usable every 3-4 weeks and if not changed in that period, they'd literally melt on the ends of the rollers..." Read more

Roomba relies more on bumping into things and it's map to navigate. There's good and bad. The bad is that it will often go around the house as if it's a drunk bumping into furniture and objects. The robot needs to learn your floorplan and that can take a long time since it's bumping into everything. It took me about 5 runs of my whole house. Each run took about 3 -4 hours since my house is 2500 sq ft. Prior to it learning my house, it's navigation looked like it was non existent. I thought I had just bought the dumbest robot especially compared to my inexpensive $300 LIDAR robot. However, once the robot declared that it had learned my floorplan everything changed and I began to see the benefits of the iRobot navigation system.
Even after learning my floorplan, the iRobot still takes forever navigating around table and chair legs. Bumping and taking multiple attempts to escape the forest of chair legs, but surprisingly, it has never gotten stuck in my house. I have set it to vacuum my entire house several times and in total it has vacuumed about 20,000 sq ft in it's lifetime so far and it has never gotten stuck. We have kids so there's a lot of toys and miscellaneous items everywhere so that's amazing to me.
My LIDAR robot on the other hand navigates beautifully around furniture but it can't see cords or other lower to the ground objects and it constantly gets stuck on these objects. Also because LIDAR isn't bumping into things to navigate it gets stuck under my couch because the fabric under my couch sags and the LIDAR robot will travel underneath the couch but then think it's blocked in by the fabric when it tries to leave the couch area. The iRobot doesn't have this problems because whenever it's in doubt it just goes barreling through and utilizes the bump sensor to feel around.
The other problem with my $300 LIDAR unit was that it would sometimes do a cleaning run but mistakenly think that there is a new floorplan and erase the old one. It's more sensitive to changes because it's LIDAR hardware can detect small changes. This is probably more a software issue. The iRobot on the other hand, is very hesitant to change it's map. That is good in that it has never erased my current floorplan or made incorrect modifications, however, the initial "learning of the floorplan" is a bit harder if it doesn't discover all your rooms. Getting it to discover new rooms is more difficult since the floor plan is locked in. I've found the best way to get it to discover new rooms after it has "learned the floorplan" is to do an area clean and just draw a box where to new room should be. Once I did that, it would explore that area and declare it found a new space and then it was added to the floorplan.
A few other more minor issues is that the Roomba software is polished but also very limited on options as compared to my inexpensive LIDAR unit. For example, I can't set how often the Roomba should self empty or the quiet times (they removed the beta feature for quiet times). These are important features since the self empty dock is very loud. Much louder then my LIDAR robots self empty dock. 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. It's louder than my large shop vac.
Along the way, the robot would not clean stating the bin was full. It was empty. Discovered via Google search (since iRobot doesn’t provide real answers) that the problem had to do with the bin sides not being clean which did not allow the full bin sensors (long black bars on the robot along the bin’s location) to transmit a beam. If the beam did not make it through from one side to the other, regardless of the bin’s actual empty/full status, the robot would assume (incorrectly) the bin was full.
The bin needed to be cleaned often if it had accumulated lite amounts of dust on the side. If not, the errors took place. Didn’t matter if the continue to clean if bin is full option was selected. Robot would ignore the selection and just not move. This is a very poor engineering and software design. Other manufactures, according to others and manufacturers don’t use the same design as iRobot due to such false errors taking place.
Getting service folks to provide service and solutions is a goat rope indeed. Have to jump through hoops in order to get attention and then, have to start all over again because service folks just follow a script and don’t listen/pay attention to the problems taking place in the real world.
After 5 months of trying to get the robot to work properly, having 3 replacement robots and 3 replacement clean bases, it appeared the 2 finally were communicating with each other and worked. Nah, just an iRobot mean joke. Within a week of the 3rd round of replacements, the clean bin issue came up. No matter how many times the bin was cleaned, no matter how many reboots, and changing bins, the robot refused to work.
Too late to return to Amazon and iRobot will not refund money due to having purchased the robot system via Amazon and not directly from iRobot. The iRobot punishment for purchasing via Amazon? No refund and just provide (maybe) another (4th) dumb robot and clean base.
Had enough of the robot and iRobot. Got so frustrated I provided the robot and the clean base a new home where the two can live together in peace and not mess up ever again. The home – the landfill.
No more iRobot robots. As time has gone by, have gone through several models. Progressively they have gotten more technologically “advanced” but not smarter. They run into things more often, forget where they are, forget where the base is and are not consistently reliable. The engineers don’t have regular people test the robots before they are sold. Theory and reality don’t mix at the robot factory.
They sure have gotten more expensive. Have noticed they go on sale often; guess iRobot can’t sell them due to problems along with competition getting more sales.
Awaiting my new Roborock. Has lidar (iRobot doesn’t believe in it thus need to have lights on for the robots to find their way) which allows the robot to work without lights. I had to buy lamps and timers so the Roomba could work. An added expense. iRobot never disclosed prior to the sale light is a requirement for the robots to work. The light near the camera does not provide enough light for the Roomba to work properly. Even with lights, the Roombas get lost or don’t work properly.
I hope the Roborock works. While all the robot brands have problems (ratings are about 4.3-4.5), crossing fingers this one excels over the Roomba.
Thus, after over a decade of using only Roombas, we have parted ways permanently and do not recommend to anyone that wants value for their hard-earned money when purchasing a floor robot. I’m sure the Roomba and its base now have plenty of dirt covering them from the hot sun in the landfill – where they belong.
UPDATE: 8/25/2023
The second J7+ began failing more often a few days after the first J7+. Gets lost, stops all of a sudden and dies. 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 without a reason.
Have had to replace the battery (robot about 2 months old). It sometimes forgets to clean per the clean map guidance.
Speaking of clean maps, it has lost the maps several times which forces me to remap the entire floor. It, like its twin, no longer provide a means to add favorites to the routine. iRobot technical support have no idea how to get the feature back even with all of their "research". What I have been able to determine is that this same issue has occurred and is occurring to others.
iRobot is busy lowering machine prices but not as busy fixing existing problems.
The Roborock we purchased to replace the J7+ has been great. Not only does it vacuum very well, it mops too. All in one machine. The machine is quieter, doesn't have problems and gets the job done in about 40% less time (the robot uses more intelligent algorithms to move to clean). I no longer have to go around turning on lights to help the (Roomba) robot find its way. The Roborock uses lidar which does not require lights and is much more efficient and effective in its journey.
We should have tried out the Roborock instead of the falling apart and unreliable Roomba. Would highly recommend to those who want to spend their money wisely to try the Roborock with the features they need and not look at the Roomba. The Roomba was a pioneer back in the day of robot cleaning but those years (ag0) have long past. All of the competition proves the Roomba is no longer as good as it used to be. Now, just lots of marketing/advertising to make the it sound and look good but from the real world of a purchaser, that's not the case. Save your money and frustrations, look elsewhere other than iRobot.

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.
