I'm looking for a robot vacuum for multiple rooms, mostly hardfloors and found the i7/i7+ quite nice, but after reading a few posts and articles, some questions popped in my mind and I would appreciate having some owners' point of view about it! This unofficial community-driven subreddit is your go-to destination for tips, troubleshooting, and discussions related to Roomba and iRobot.

Our collection of robots is designed to clean around your schedule and your life, so you don’t have to. Still, it can maneuver on this surface quite well, although it might displace lighter low-pile rugs. The Roomba i7+ does a great job here, too, and removes 60% of the sand on the short carpet and 70% on the higher carpet. The iRobot limited warranty shall not apply to failures or problems which are caused by products or equipment not authorised by iRobot Corporation. It can do this as it cleans – although it will take a few cleaning sessions; or you can send the iRobot Roomba i7+ off on a mapping cycle.Our Tip : Clean up your home before the first time cleaning session so that no small items such as Lego bricks, clothes etc. The Clean Base is a major step forward that I hope will trickle down to iRobot's midrange product line over time. Leading proprietary innovations, such as 3-Stage Cleaning, Dual Multi-Surface Brushes, Dirt Detect Sensors, and unique Edge-Sweeping Brush allow our robots to handle tougher messes and provide a powerful clean without lifting a finger. The suction power is decent – it performed really well on all surfaces, and our house was noticeably cleaner after it had run. There’s very little practical difference between the two models, but we think that if you have pets at home then the J7’s front-facing camera is worth having: it’s better to prevent unfortunate accidents than to deal with their aftermath.

Wonderfully, this means you don’t really have to think about cleaning your floors for a good few weeks at a time (depending on how often you run the robot).Especially the cleaning performance on carpets, the precise navigation, and the app were outstanding. But this isn’t a big deal since you’ll probably rarely use the robot vacuum at night - Unless you want to annoy your neighbours ?

Naturally, the cat-eyed the new entrant with considerable suspicion but has now got used to the new mortised invader and has labelled him as “to be avoided” but also “mostly harmless”. These are designed to work well on both carpet and hard floors, and shouldn’t tangle with hair as much as a regular brush roller. Yes, it’s expensive, and ultimately a luxury, but if you are thinking of investing in a smart cleaner, it’s worth doing and if you can stretch to it, I’d recommend going for one with smart mapping and automatic dirt disposal. After much thought, I shamelessly stole a name that a friend’s daughter came up with for their robot vacuum – ladies and gentlemen, meet Csweepio.inches (HWD), which is going to take up a significant amount of floor space wherever you decide to put it. Ultimately, it has passed the wife test, as while she is naturally suspicious of gadgetry has commented how much time it is saving over manual cleaning. And it’s still at the forefront of robot vacuum innovation, providing self-emptying technology for weeks of hands-off cleaning, and granular mapping that’ll even let you target the area around specific pieces of furniture for a clean. And you might want to make sure that you're out of the house while the i7+ is doing its thing, because it can get quite loud. You can send the iRobot to clean a specific room, let it vacuum your bedroom first and then your living room.

If that’s an issue, you should look for a robot vacuum with LiDAR (light detecting and ranging) navigation instead. Still, it is considerably larger than a simple charging dock, which does mean that you’ll have to find a new spot for it.
