Is the Roomba i7-i8+ the best robot vacuum for the money?

The i8+ is a Costco exclusive but not available everywhere, I have learned that it is just a repackaged i7 model, so the best bet is to upgrade to the latest version of the new i9+

I understand that the i8 has a longer lasting battery and stronger suction than the i7. 2021 price: available at Costco for $579 until December 24

[@NerdyMeathead]

LMAO we treat our roomba like a pet. When it makes it over the transition strip to the kitchen I talk to it like a dog. Yay you did it buddy good little roomba

[@theresacuevas3788]

Thanks for the visual, help me understand its use. I bought one today and needed the visual and you really assisted- thank goodness for You Tube!

[@barajasavalos]

I just got mine today at Costco for $699. I have had other robot vacs and returned them. I kind of felt guilty for buying it but it is a back saver. I have rheumatoid arthritis throughout my body so I I validated my purchase.

Ditto, That's exactly why I bought it.

I have had a Roomba 560 since 2008!! Still going strong, it bounces around, but does go back to charge at it's base. These Roomba's are like the Energizer Bunny, they just keep going and going and going!!

Best review video ever! Your robot must be a new release, cause I'm unable to find the i8+ in Europe. (The i7+ goes for €900-950 in Germany and 299,000 HUF (€892) in Hungary, my home country.) I've been eyeballing with these iRobots. :) I feel like this video gave me the final nudge to buy one. As soon as I'll have the before mentioned sum of cash, I'm heading to the shop.

HELP. LOVE the video so much I'm ready to buy. Cant find an "I8+" and can only find an i7+. Even the link above takes me to an I7+ on Amazon. Thoughts. I see the box even says I8+ (UPDATE: Found one at COSTCO Online. Wierd.) Thanks again, for a great video.

[@felipelebron7660]

The i8+ is exclusive for Costco... From exoerience i think it is the same as the i7+ but the 8 just means its Costco exclusice. ALL roombas that Costco has sold have an exclusive model number. Like my mom has the 985 and i had the 525. Both Costco exusive with the original model numbers being 980 and 520 i think. SAM'S Club does the same.

[@RobertMoseley]

It looks like the best option is to get the newer i9+ which is even BETTER! I am thinking of sending my i8 back to Costco and ordering the 9! Here it is - amzn.to/31sKgeJ

Videobob Moseley the S9+ is great especially for animal hair. Moving the front caster wheel to the back, behind the rubber brushes, so it’s driving on clean floors is brilliant. Before, I was always having to clean my golden retriever’s hair out of it otherwise it would stop spinning over time.
