I can't imagine how I lived without this robot in the past. I bought this i7 plus only week ago . Very best robot in the market I believe. I am so glad b/c i don't have to deal with the heavy vacuum machine. My carpet and bare floor is always so CLEAN everyday which gives me so pleasure. On top of it, i7 C/S is excellent, which is the second most important after this high-end quality machine.

I've watched COUNTLESS robot vacuum videos for over a year now. Yours are the best. The review, the sound quality, the comparisons. Keep up the GREAT work and please don't just stick to vacuums, try other avenues as well. I want to ask your advice and hope you see this soon. It's 2018 and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I'm torn between the i7 and the 960. The 960 is on a black Friday sale for just $450 now. What would you do. I have one pet and the floors don't get SUPER dirty. Mostly tile, some rugs. Again, I really appreciate your work and hope to see more.

As a 2 month old i7 owner I can 100% agree with this guy! I owned the 960 at first then got the i7 when it went on sale and there are definitely some improvements. However I do feel the 960 did a better job on carpets and was quieter than the i7. On hard surfaces the i7 does shine better. After running it a few times in the kitchen my apartment kitchen floor started to shine! No longer do I have to randomly step on things in the kitchen walking bare foot. Having it on a schedule turns issues I had living here into a positivie. I have a Swiffer i used about twice a week that I no longer have to use much because of (Robbie) my i7. It gets places I don't want to clean myself (next to and behind the toilet) and does a great job. TBH I probably run my vac a little too often living on the first floor of an apartment where ANYTHING can be on the floor I LOVE IT! Off sale it seems a bit much but still well worth it. If you can find the 960 BUY it! You may be more satisfied with its cleaning than the i7. It lacks remembering maps but it still creates one of your home after every cycle like the i7 and it seemed to remember obstacles like the i7 does. I also found it avoided places it would have a hard time getting out of unlike the i7. The i7 has this thing where if it bumps into something backwards (trapped in a tight space) it crashed backwards while the wheels are still spinning for a second or two which I find annoying that the 960 didn't do. But the i7 smart mapping and the fact i don't have to use the wall barrier (as long as the room is well lit) is worth the upgrade to me. The bigger brushed do a great job and my floor has never been so clean. Running this and using a air filter makes my home feel nice and CLEAN!

what is the charging time for the i7+; can you do multiple sweeps in a day? Do you HAVE to have a smart phone to program it? Can it be programmed from a laptop or tablet? What is the battery life estimation please? Have a golden retriever-so LONG hair. Is the suction strong enough to suck up the hair and NOT have it wind around the brushes? The first Roomba I bought had a flimsy edge cleaner that was useless once it picked up a few dog hairs. Do you have to manually clean the brushes and edge cleaner and if so, how often? Thank you!

Finally got the exact information I was looking for. Having issues with the device missing debris on carpet, specifically fuzzies from black boot socks. Read online that you can use the app to change the suction settings. However, that is true for older models, this item only operates on the higher setting. Will try multiple passes instead, looks like based on the video that it should work. Had a Xioami robot vacuum previously which operated for 6 years with questionable maintenance, but ALWAYS had issues with carpet, would read that the brush was tangled 18 times when it was not before finally finishing my carpeted area. So I appreciate the start and forget about it for this one.
@andrewbernard82119 ай бұрын
Ended up returning it. Suction 1800pa, which explains why it doesn't pick up all the black sock bits from the carpet, more research reveals competitors with 2000+pa. Finally got fed up with it and returned it because it 1) couldn't find its way out of a room next door to its docking station, and then 2) couldn't dock despite being placed directly in front of its docking station, occurring after 3rd use. A shame, I thought iRobot was top of the line in the market.

As much as I appreciate bagged vs bag less, I’d have preferred the Clean Base to be a bag less version. Vacuums tend to pick up things indiscriminately (See Breaking Bad), or suck up micro SD cards, small caps, a rare screw you might have misplaced, etc, and a dust bag full of a months of blind vacuuming might cause you to toss out something you normally wouldn’t. At least manually emptying a dust bin, no matter how often, allows for a quick inspection. Vacuum something up manually and you can inspect what the heck just made that noise in that thing you picked up.

Hey great job on your demo video. I was so excited about the Roomba i7+ when I first learned of its awesomely new feature, the self emptying. Lol when I first tried ordering the i7+, I went to it's website, but I couldn't not find the add to cart button. So I called Roomba and the sales representative said that it was not avaible for purchase yet. You'll have to wait another two weeks. I was very disappointed, but I am so glad that I had waited. You can get the Roomba i7+ for just about the same price as the Roomba i7. Now, like the guy in the video said, the only difference between the two models, the i7 does not come with auto dirt disposal bin but can be purchased separately, where the i7+ does. The cost of the Roomba i7 is $700, the cost of the Roomba i7+ cost $950. I went to Bed, Bath and Beyon and purchase the i7+. I paid $760 for the Roomba i7+! YES, $760. How did I get the i7+ for around the same price as the i7? BB&B offer 20% off to their customers who join their free club. Every month, I receive a sales circular and on the circular on the back page is a 20% off orgional priced single item in the store or online. The store in my town is nice enough to accept expired 20% off coupons. I have coupons that are over a year old and the nice people at my local Bed Bath and Beyon accepts that coupon. So, if you want the i7+ but have to settle for the i7 model because you cannot afford the i7+, run to your local BB&B store and beg them for a 20% coupon so you can get the totally awesome i7+ rather the not so cool i7. It's worth the extra $60 for the + model, don't settle for the i7 if you get the coupon.

What I liked most about the Roborock is how well and quickly it mapped the room every time it ran, meaning I could move furniture around and it would still know the layout and avoid no-go zones etc. How does the Roomba perform in this regard?

I keep reading that the i7 (plus) can map ten "floors," but how large a map can it actually remember? I've seen some disagreement about this online. Some reviewers are saying that it can clean ten full floors, but others say that the upper limit is still about 2000 square feet (which would be ten really small floors). When I called customer support, they basically agreed with the 2000 square foot limit but I'm not sure that they really understood my question. I'm really wondering if the i7 plus could remember its way around a large auditorium (ie. our church sanctuary). Vacuuming under a room full of church pews is a difficult, time-consuming, activity. But if a Roomba could pull it off, it would save our custodian a LOT of time. Have you explored this at all?

2 questions 1. What about stairs? Will it just tumble down or sense a edge and ignore it? 2 when picking up. What if we drop like coins and nuts and bolts. Will it still work or will it damage it? Thanks

It has an edge sensor, and I wouldn't rely on a household vac to pick up a large amount of heavy debris. These are standard household machines.

Yeah the suction is very powerful on the clean base, but from my understanding of how it works it needs to be to clean the bin.

Great review but I have had the 980 and now the i7. One thing I have found is that the i7 does not handle long hair as well as the 980. Basically the i7 will gather up the hair into balls and puke it back out. At the end of a cleaning run I will find small clumps of hair scattered. This doesn't matter about level of bin fill. Clumps are seen soon after it starts its clean job(empty bin). I have to wonder if the larger finned extractor is the reason. The Mapping is amazing and drops cleaning times per room on average 10 minutes on our house. Also the sound level is huge. At distance the sound just disappears sometimes I have to check to see if the vac didn't die

Thats interesting about the pet hair, I didnt notice it but I was only testing small amounts. It could be the extractor, im not sure. Yeah crazy quiet, night and day from the previous Roombas!
@kljunatic81575 жыл бұрын
@@VacuumWars Need to find some long pet hair and scatter it around thinly. The i7 I find that it tangles more around the extractors compared to the 980 along with just spitting them out. You state that the suction is the same but I don't see that. The i7 seems weak in suction and doesn't pick up as much debris on certain surfaces.

I just tried a Deebot R98 - pretty much the direct competitor to this. For me, the R98 was a complete and utter failure. (It could never remember it's map, the bin empty system simply didn't work, and the scheduling app, just didn't work. I returned it after just 9 days of trying to make it work. HOWEVER - the bag system of the i7 is like what 1970 tech? WTF are they thinking? The R98 clean out system is really rather beautiful (if it would work). It is just a handheld vacuum that you empty like any other modern vacuum with a clear dust bin collector.
@VacuumWars5 жыл бұрын
Actually bagged tech is still a thing, and it has some serious advantages, the Airflow is generally much higher in bagged vacs, and it is much easier to create a good filtration seal. Not to mention the lack of mess.

I’m skeptical about the 30 runs per bag. My 980 fills its bin every time I run it with pet hair. Have read that the bag will only hold debris from very few runs before it fills up. So either have to empty the bag or buy new ones at $5 per bag often. Can bag be emptied? Also the filter may need to be cleaned on every run if it’s like the 980.
@VacuumWars5 жыл бұрын
Well it really does seem to pack the debris in pretty good. After all the tests I did it is only 1/4 full so it seems right. I suppose you could empty it, it would be a bit messy though as you would have to dig it out if its a lot of pet hair. You will still have to maintain filters etc every, I think Irobot recommends cleaning once a week, but I did notice that the suction on the Clean base does tend to really clean a lot more than I thought it would.

I currently own Roomba 960, I am trying to decide if I should upgrade. I love that it empties itself since I have allergies but I’m guessing I still have to clean the HEPA filter myself, thus I still have to get my hands dirty ? Does it clean the HEPA filter well when it empties ? Is so how often do you have to clean the filter ?

You dont need a second base for it to remember and clean another floor, it recognizes this automatically. However if you want it to empty itself, then obviously you would need another base, and yes they are sold separately
