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.

I’ve never had a robot vacuum cleaner. So getting this one has really shown me what I’ve been missing! I’d love the fact that you can program it to start on its own or you can start it with your phone or you can start it with the button. I’ve got my rooms divided up so if I want to vacuum one room I just start it for the one room. And it’s so cute if it picks up my cat. He watches it and if he is in the robots view, the robot takes a picture of him and sends it to me stating he was an obstacle.

Started with learning the layout of the areas I wanted cleaned. All good so far. It did the cleaning in the areas I wanted and did a good job. However, it did stop a few times when the chamber was full, so would therefore recommend the j8, the model just above this one, as I believe it has a tower that it empties to that can hold a lot more debris so as to complete the job.

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.

We have two dogs who shed an enormous amount. The iRobot is able to maneuver around every nook to capture all the hair. It goes back to its station, dumps the debris, and continues on. The map scanner is 100% on target. It frees up time and increases content.

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.

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.

The robot cleans, well, but a large percentage of time it fails to finish cleaning. I think when it is low on power it doesn't always return to the homebase and seems to get confused. Sometimes it actually cleans the room. There wasn't designated in other time just stops. Maybe it will get better

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 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.
