This is our second iRobot (first was an s9+). This is considerably quieter while vacuuming -- we briefly wondered if the vacuum part was broken when it went on its first cleaning run, but it quickly became clear that it was indeed cleaning. This model is also smarter than the s9 about navigating around furniture, avoiding dangling cords and shoelaces, etc. We've still had to rescue it a couple times when it got caught in some furniture (it loves to get trapped in the chair and table legs of the dining room set) but it recovers well after we give it a hand. Solid purchase.

This is an update for us from a previous model. Mapping is nice and allows us to easily do just one room if we want. Downside: it still clings along the wall and digs ruts in the carpet...turn, bang, turn, bang as it just keeps bouncing off the wall, so disappointment there. The ruts are the worst part.

The Roomba J7 is an excellent robot when used on wood floors. The suction rating of this vacuum is lower than some other robot vacs but is enough when used on wood floors. I only have wood floors in my home, so this vacuum works great for me. The ability to recognize objects in its path is a great feature. No more cable caught up in the vac, like my Roomba 650 tends to do. For an on-sale price of $299, this was definitely a deal.

I have owned 3 Roomba's in my lifetime. This one is by far the best. It mapped out my whole house and i chose which places or rooms I wanted avoided and set up a schedule. It cleaned better than any of the others I have purchased. I love it. I have been telling everyone about it.

I upgraded to the J9 self emptying vacuum from a much older model. I LOVE this one so much and am so happy with my purchase. I love being able to choose a room or rooms to vacuum and what order I want to vacuuming them in. I also love that it self empties! We have 2 cats and a dog and it is doing a great job with the hair.

I love walking around the house barefoot without stepping on unidentifiable little things on the floor. I do have to empty the waste container every 2-3 days though or it becomes overfull and doesn't seem to alert me when it is. It should have a flashing red light or a beep when it is full. It does get stuck sometimes or wound up on a carpet fiber and you have to go searching under beds and desks until you find it. Overall, I like it.

Does not run over cords, but, cannot navigate. First try it gave up after 1 sq meter. Second try it did the kitchen and most of the living room. 3rd time I carried it to the far bedroom ad it could not navigate out of the bedroom. 4th time I put it in The hallway facing away from the bedroom. It could not find the bathroom or the 2nd bedroom.

I had an older roomba (2019), but this was on sale and figured I’d try it out. It works SO much better than the older models, and leaves my floor looking professionally vacuumed. I have a dog that sheds a lot and this vacuum makes my life so much easier! Highly recommend to pet parents

I wasn’t expecting it to work as well as it did! I am very pleased as 90pct of my chore is done regularly! We divided the house up on a schedule so I can lift chairs and trash cans and certain rugs so the robot can clean! On schedule and doesn’t fill up! It even gets under the bed after we taped up all cords! It avoids cords so nothing gets damaged but then you have the dust! You do have to empty out a lot so a self emptying one would be good! I will budget for one as they cost!

Would not completely clean a room. Kept having to restart it to continue cleaning. Called customer service, can’t get anyone to understand what I’m saying or help because they don’t speak English. Not worth the price when it doesn’t even work how it should.
