All right, so several interesting things running this thing for the first time map setup looks like the things vaguely drunk. But once it puts it together it's kind of scary how accurate everything is. And it seems to understand what it's looking at what dining room is what a kitchen is what living rooms are even if you have two, a bathroom all that stuff a hallway. Also I noticed the thing was changing lights like spinning light colors a lot. Apparently when it's mapping, expect to see the swirling light a lot. Once you set no go zones or it senses something to avoid it will throw up a blue light which represents a no-go zone. If it senses that it picked up a ton of crap, it'll have a blue swirling light which indicates it's going to hit that area once more. Red isn't good. And an occasional white swelling light means that it is processing and cleaning normally. I found out that after it meant the house, it said we only had 500 ft² which isn't quite accurate it's closer to 800 if not more. That being said it won't cover that size area doing two sweeps. The map system, simply don't tell it to clean everything. Delete the clean everything map. Make your own and have it clean by room, you can set the order in which it travels and which rooms might get a second pass. And this vacuum does not have suction but the patent double roller design works very well. Some things that I wish were a little bit different, when I set a no-go zone it seems like some of them aren't as accurate as what I'm seeing on the floor plan as compared to what the robot follows so watch it a few times and adjust the no-go zones accordingly. I also would like the thing to sense a little bit quicker when the rollers are jammed, the no-go zone thing I'm talking about the robot got running over the Christmas tree skirt and I had to keep saving it. Also, people mention that the robot will send you alerts about things it thinks are issues? I wish it would allow you to select more things it encountered as errors so you could give it a little bit more smarts for your house. But, really you don't need to do anything crazy with the machine. Clean it as directed in the instructions, and even though I have four girls and a wife, my old robot vacuum got hair all the time stuck in the rollers... This gets dramatically less hair stuck in the rollers by the factor of 10. Also we had a fake tree up for Christmas and it had no problems taking care of all of those extra pine needle things on the ground everywhere. The dustbin collection is mostly good, I'm just going to let it roll for a while and see how it goes, I'm not going to be one of those neat freaks that's going to say oh my goodness the thing didn't clean things out exactly perfect, it seems to get most of the stuff out, every so often the instructions say to clean it so like once a month or whatever it is. Noise levels are pretty nice. Comparable to what I've had in the past so it's not crazy quiet or crazy loud. We had our TV set to a volume of 12 and could hear the program just fine when it came into the room. My wife seemed to sleep through it just fine. One of the other things I like is that it has a battery indicator while it's charging and when it's charged. It would be kind of nice if it somehow could let you know what it's at when it's running but I suppose most people run these things when they're not home and you can use the phone to check it's battery level. As I mentioned, you don't really want to have the thing do every room with a double swipe it's always going to do a double swipe but if you turn it to two passes it actually runs like four passes horizontal then vertical and then horizontal and then vertical again. So again most rooms one pass which will be a horizontal and vertical movement, will be fine. I kind of stress test the unit its first time and had it do double passes and it took almost 4 hours that included an hour or so of it charging so it can continue about where it left off. Even with all of the junk on the floor it didn't seem to fill the dustbin or at least the dustbin sensor didn't it trigger and it seemed to be picking up so maybe we just need to be dirtier people and I can test it out one day. It also gets you an option in the program to check the map run when it's active and the history will also show you the map run so you know what areas it has hit. Needless to say most of the map stays green.

Okay yeah I was still surprised by robot vacuums back then lol now I know all the ends and outs of them so my reviews are a bit more "reviews" then vlogging 🤷♂️

Nice job. I almost bought it on black friday, but I agree, no lidar, no deal. Honestly, if it sucked I would box and return anyways. One would think that as long as these companies have been making these, they should be better. Great review, thanks.

@pete3882 i will say since review this j7+ I've reviewed a few more vacuums, and this one definitely cleans the carpet the best. My current DEEBOT T30S is close, but it also gets stuck a lot or sucks in cords or objects, then gets stuck. Can't wait until these devices just work with no human help, lol
