One Less Thing To Worry About

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Definitely worked best in larger, uncluttered rooms. We had to move our furniture around before running the Roomba to ensure it could get to all corners of the room and also get back onto the docking pad. We found it quite loud on our hardwood floors, but it's not a huge deterrent as it can run when we're not home. The set up is quick and easy and we downloaded the app on our phone without any problems. We have pets, so one of the downfalls is their toys are on the floor, which then become obstacles for the Roomba. It's something we'll have to figure out, to prevent any issues while the vacuum runs when we're not home. It's great to know that the main area of our house gets a quick clean without any effort, though!

Awesome little cleaner

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Roomba j9+ Self-emptying robot vacuum definitely exceeded my expectations. It is a little clumsy and did get stuck a couple times, but overall it has preformed really well. The app makes it really easy to control and track your cleaning throughout the area. It even takes pictures of obstacles and shows it in the clean report! I was provided with this product in exchange for my honest feedback.

Pretty Reliable With a Learning System!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Roomba is definitely a contender when it comes to vacuums. It goes pretty quickly, learns pretty quickly and charges pretty quickly. It is easy to clean and maintain which is a bonus since I am a busy mom! The Roomba was simple to set up and works right from my Iphone too which is handy so I can run it when I am out if I want to. The biggest difference between this vacuum and my other one though is that this one will slow down when it comes up to obstacles, take a photo and then send me a note to find out if it is something they need to avoid in the future or if it is just a random item in the way, which is really quite cool. The bin is small so I end up changing it once a round (2600 sq ft) but with a family of four and three furry friends I am not shocked. The Roomba is a bit noisy as my video shows, but all in all it is definitely one to try out. I did have an issue with it disconnecting with the wifi too but it was simple to reconnect. I would for sure recommend the Roomba to my friends and family.

Impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have never tried any product like this before. I've only used normal old school vacuums, nothing fancy about them. I was intimidated at first, to try the product but surprisingly set up was extremely easy. Directions were easy to follow. I have a very heavy shedding dog and normally vacuum my rugs at least 5 times a week. I got this charged and it started going. I was so impressed with how it mapped out my house, told me the areas that had hazards, and then docked itself right back on it's charger all by itself. I set it to start the next morning at 11:30. The bin was full so I took it out and emptied it. I was amazed with how much hair and debris it picked up. It cleans my whole downstairs (5 rooms) with a very heavily shedding dog in aabout 2 hours and it handles the hair! I only empty it after the 2 hours. I have mostly hardwood floors with area rugs and I'd always get 'tumbleweeds' of dog hair blowing across it or getting caught in corners. Since I got this, I haven't had 'tumbleweeds'! And it cleans my rugs so well that I only bring out the big heavy vacuum 2 times a week tops. However after a few days, it can't seem to dock itself and if it does get itself back on the charger, it isn't aligned. I have to go move it slowly until I see the charging light come on. If I had paid for the product, I'd be unsatisfied with this flaw and I'd probably tell people not to buy it. But I am impressed with all the other aspects. Without that flaw, I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. With that flaw, I want to be honest with them especially for the cost of the product. To me, totally worth it! It's not a big deal to me to twitch it's position and I'm more happy with all of the other functions of this than I am dissatisfied with the one main flaw I've encountered. I would recommend this product regardless, but like I said, I'd give a heads up on that flaw especially for how much these run.

The best kind of technology!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vacuum works better than I had imagined. For such a small machine, it picked up a lot of dust and debris. It rolls around from place to place, avoiding obstacles and did not roll down the stairs. It has a light and little "feelers" that keep it from going where it shouldn't go. It even went under the bed and came back out without my having to intervene. It didn't tangle with my electric cords either. All controlled from my phone app too! I love this product.

Stress free

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been such an easy and carefree product to use. I had stopped using robot vacuums because I had to empty it almost every time I used it and it just became a hassle to remember to do it before I used it again but I like this because of the self emptying feature that so I don't have to worry about having to empty it after every use. The vacuum itself is s very sturdy. Cleaning time is appropriate and the battery I would say lasts a good amount of time.

Best vacuum upgrade yet!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been the best vacuum upgrade yet! This has been a game changer when it comes to cleaning and any Roomba upgrade. One of the best features is the napping for areas in the house. Especially right now with the holidays you can tell your Roomba not to go near the Christmas tree or within a certain range of it so it doesn't bump into any decorations. We use the Roomba almost every night once the day is done, and especially in the kitchen. We will tell the Roomba to come out, clean the kitchen and go back. It is definitely one of the most powerful Roomba that we have yet had in our house. The self emptying function is one of the best qualities of the Roomba j9. Although the self emptying function is quite loud it is worth it in the end. You can let the Roomba j9 clean the entire house without having to empty the basket each time it is full. You can leave the house and it can finish the entire cleaning job. I would highly recommend the Roomba j9 self emptying vacuum!

Almost brand new start to show errors and failing parts.

It works wonderfully...when it is not broken or displaying errors. We own a long haired golden retriever, it was the main reason the get the robot. But around a month after we got the J7 the spin brush stopped working, have not being able to make it work again and support did not come back with any answer even though it is still under "supposedly" 1 year warranty; now after only 6 months the robot is displaying error 26, did try all the suggested steps yet is not working, just contacted support in order to see it the head module which is indicated need to be replaced will be shipped as the robot is under warranty. Honestly, for not so cheap piece of robot find it annoying that after relatively short time pieces need to be replaced and / or fixed. Roomba supposedly to be the "gold" standard on these sort of machines yet i do wonder if for less money there are a more reliable robot around. My suggestion would be to do a thoroughly research before buying this one.

Hi Diana, we are really sorry to hear about the situation. This is definitely not the experience we want our iRobot family to have, and we'd love the opportunity to turn it around. Is it okay if you provide us with iRobot email in order to resolve the issue?

Amazing piece of delicate technology!

Amazing technology. We have been impressed with this little smart machine. I am surprised people expect such a small delicate tool to work like a bulldozer. You need to do your work and prepare the ground beforehand. Remove the large rubbish, shoes, socks, clips, papers, cloths, ... out of its way. Clean its wheels and caster after every shift. Treat it as delicate as you would treat your other smart stuff!

This irobot vacuum is abs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This irobot vacuum is absolutely amazing and made cleaning my house easier and more efficient! Set up was extremely easy and cleaning started almost immediately. The obstacle detection was extremely useful and I highly suggest the vacuum to everyone.
