[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The vacuum works fabulous on wood and tile flooring. It does pretty well on carpet and thick rugs, but on my one low pile rug it leaves clusters and smears of hair. Its easy to clean and works in a clear and concise pattern.

We bought this Roomba for Christmas. This is our fourth Roomba. We have had our other Roomba's for several years before buying a replacement. This Roomba stopped working showing error 26 after a few weeks. customer service is sending a new part to replace cleaning head modular. So frustrated!! why should I have to repair a brand new vacuum. They will not send me a new one and take this one back!!

I previously used 2 other Roombas and loved them, but hated the hassle of emptying the chamber. I would get notifications that it couldn't complete a job because bin needed to be emptied and it would drive me crazy! Now this Roomba is a time saver for sure! So glad I purchased!!

Our Roomba j7 is the on of best things we had bought for us in long time. We have it vacuuming every room. We have hardwood floors and some area rugs through out the house I have programmed our Roomba to vacuum every morning to start the day to clean the floors. We don't dust bunnies and pet hair flying around anymore which makes it a Win Win for us. It does a great Job!

I bought this product a few years ago. I bought this specifically because it was supposed to avoid "obstacles" and pet messes. It never has avoided the messes. It goes through it causing me more cleaning than need be. I had moved recently making my elder cat bot use her box, and at least once a week, I have to thoroughly clean the robot and shampoo the carpets and clean the floors throughout the house since I don't notice until I get home after work. This is my my replacement since it has done it before to a point of not charging or running. The feces gets stuck in the tires which are impossible to clean. So it smells like literal crap every time it runs. I do the maintenance and change everything as I should, but it's higher maintenance than doing it the old way. Avoid this contraption if you are intrigued because it avoids messes.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great robot vacuum. I love that it maps area, but it is louder than my previous one. It does a great job of getting over area rugs and furniture. It does have a very large dust bin, which is great. I love this vacuum and use it frequently.

This robot (Minerva for us) has changed our lives - making our house actually clean again. As old people we have neither the time nor energy to vacuum as much as our house (with three cats) needs, but Minerva does it for us and does it perfectly. My only sadness is it appears iRobot isn't selling the i7 anymore (why!?). If anyone wants a *perfect* vacuuming robot, they need to pick this up before it's not available anywhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first time owning a Roomba and it is a nice addition to our home. In terms of the app, they’ve really thought of everything. After a couple of cleaning jobs, the app creates a “smart map” of your home that you can customize with dividers and labels. This comes in handy when you only want certain rooms to be cleaned. Setup was fast, but the time consuming part for me was watching it scan my condo (2 hours) to make sure it didn’t knock anything over. The only hiccup during the scan was when it ran into my cat’s water bowl and got a little splashed. The app allows you to add “keep out zones” to your map to avoid areas like I mentioned. I was impressed when watching it clean my dining room. The Roomba was able to clean around the table and chairs and remembered how to exit the maze of legs (see video). I left some drywall debris in my closet to test it out and it picked up everything except one bit (possibly missed because it was its first cleaning job and still mapping things out). The noise level was as expected—which is a little high—because, as I understand, this model has “pet features”. I imagine pulling up pet hair would require extra suction. It is very loud when emptying itself out (although brief), so keep that in mind if you have pets sensitive to noise. Overall, it is convenient to have. However, I wouldn’t consider this a necessity. With its price point in mind, I’d say it is more of a splurge if you want a break from manual vacuuming. That’s not to say that I think it is overpriced, as the technology and AI is fairly sophisticated. I hope this review was helpful.

I have an Aussie that is constantly shedding year round, so I run my Roomba twice per day so it can keep up with her. It does great with avoiding things like dog toys, and messes she's made, but it also avoids dog fur when it ends up in clumps, hopefully I can work on training the Roomba not to avoid these, but otherwise it has been great!

I wrote a big review, but it was not accepted by the web site. here I will send pictures of what this did to my oriental hand made carpets with it's rubber rollers. I called and asked if they carry replacement rollers that are not rubber, just like brush , like all other carpet. but they said no. so please do not buy or use for carpet
