I totally agree with your review. Spot on! A couple of points to add: (1) Another HUGE benefit is that it goes under beds, couches, dressers, hanging clothes in a closet, and a lot of other furniture that you'd otherwise have to move to vacuum underneath. We have a dog, and hair and dust accumulations are nearly nonexistent now. Bravo! Normally we do deep cleaning like that manually a couple of times a year, so overall, the cleanliness of the house improved for us. (2) It does NOT like shag rugs. We have one as a decorative accent and I had to cover it with a "keep out zone" to prevent issues. (3) Speaking of Keep Out Zones, it would be great if the software had an option for a round shape in addition to the available a rectangular shape. (The shag rug is round) (4) It learns. We did not open it up to the whole house in the beginning (it went into about 90%) but as it gained access to other areas, it will add them to the map. It takes about 3 times in a new space for it to register and be added. (5) You can store maps for multiple floors if you have a multi-floor house / apartment. However, be sure to put the home base in the same spot each time on each floor. (6) Lastly, the more you can pick up a room and prepare it, the quicker and better it will clean it. So, for the dining room for example, put the chairs upside down on the table (we have padded seats) so it doesn't have to work around the chair legs.

yes true about under the beds its very hard to vacuum their especially with the larger queen and king sizes. also agree you can vacuum every day if you so wish but i guess every second day would be suffice so that botty and you can both have a day off

To prevent scratches i put weather-strip around my Roomba. Mine is barely scratched now, even as the furniture! It's a cheap solution. At this pricepoint the Roomba-engineers should have done this! I named my Roomba "Nancy" and she's doing her job very well!

I just bought an i8 Roomba a costco only model. You mentioned about about the scuffs and scratches that go along with owning a Roomba. There are DIY options to consider that will help I made a small video in regards to this. I used left over tool chest liner that you could pick up at any hardware store and double sided tape. It looks great and you get the added benefit of silence when it bumps into things.

I was having buyers remorse on the price tag, but this lived up to the price🌼 It is so amazing and the house is clean every day. I like the scheduling as it takes a while, so you may not want the whole house done every day. The self- dumping base is worth the extra money. The bags really hold a ton.

Agree about the benefits of the robot and also with how well it cleans. I am a vacuum snob and didn't want to believe a puny, battery-powered device would keep my home as clean as a fancy, corded vacuum, but for the most part, it does. It gets under things I might skip with the big vacuum and it gets used more frequently. And yes, those carpet lines are satisfying to see after it cleans house. Spot on review. One question (2, actually) - do you have pets and does the bag smell when it gets full?

I'm amazed at how long you were able to use one bag, but one thing worth mentioning in your video would've been that people with pets, kids, or who live in homes with doors that connect to the outside (as opposed to apartments) are going to see substantially reduced bag life.

I have had i7 for while now also, my mother has 670 series one for about a year. The features of the high-end i7 vs the older one are night and day. I7 does excellent job cleaning first run the bin was full on robot (I don't have cleaning base) I agree with hardwood performance it's not perfect but pretty good. The 670 series constantly gets stuck unless you throw pillows everywhere etc. The i7 I have yet to see get stuck it's very smart with it's sensors unlike older ones. It drives over everything from bathroom scale to plush rugs it even picked up acorn in my house....from where I have no idea. I highly recommend the I7 but personally would not recommend the lower end series models. I absolutely love the smart mapping features of the i7 being able to set zones and dividers for the mapped rooms is absolutely worth extra cost of the I7, with less expensive models you have to block it's entry or you buy expensive virtual walls. With i7 you just set dividers and you can even set no touch zones or heavy cleaning zones for high traffic.

Bought one of the first Roomba's. It just broke this week. Changed the battery pack once after a few years. The strips on the landing thing are too small, it sometimes does not make contact. It moves its own docking station when it attacks it from the side! Had to glue it on the floor with double side tape. The Roomba gets stuck under a central heating radiator. And it cannot free it selves when trapped between the legs of a specific chair. When it meets a thick door mat, it gets stuck halfway trying to enter the mat. Makes a lot of noise. When docking, it travels minutes through the room before it finds its docking station. And its expensive. All and all, i'm in for a new one, but not a Roomba anymore.

Thank you for the excellent review. I am an older woman with significant back problems & have been looking at IRobot seriously since last winter. I currently have a very heavy Kirby I’ve had for years that honestly does everything from cleaning bare floors to shampooing carpets & even has a scalp massager! (Never have used that part 😂) After listening to your review I guess I better stick with the Kirby since my house is 98% bare floor. I have two dogs that shed & bring (it feels like) half the yard in with them. Dragging my Kirby out every other day is a huge challenge. Thank you.

my dog has a lot of hair and sheds a lot no matter how much I brush him. I have a passion for clean floors since I like to go barefoot. Roomba cleans my hardwood floors fine and rugs too. Must maintain Roomba though and clean the rollers so they dont get clogged with hair. No problem with floors - it might throw a few crumbs under the stove due to the little side brush spinning but it's easy to just get them out with a long handled duster. Really its a worthwhile purchase especially with dogs. Mine is 11 years old and working fine still.

I used a MERV 5 rated non woven furnace filter by 3M Filtrete and cut little rectangle pieces to put over my i3's and i7's filters as a pre filter screen and press them together into the slot where it makes a perfect seal around the edges. It catches the bulk of the fine particulates from the dustbin and keeps the actual filter from clogging up.

Always make sure your turning parts are free of hairs. Hairs can really cause a lot of damage when left too long. The robot is easily opened for maintenance. Don't be afraid of it. And keep a simple vacuum cleaner, not to forceful ready when you dust it out. But again... hairs, especially long hairs. Animal hairs are not a problem. Human hairs are.

great job and review. but for me, after 1.5 years, my i7 gives me more problems than its worth. it looses navigation constantly. its always telling me to empty the bin even after manually cleaning and wiping sensors. it gets hung up on the base not...sometimes going up, sometimes down. it often can't find its way home...even in the same room. I've deleted 3 maps in as many months. i've done the hard reboot, at the advice of support. I'm about ready to put it on the scrap heap. That said, support is next to none. they try. earlier this week i was on the phone with them almost an hour trying to work out navigation problems. short term worked....longer term....back to same ole stuff. would i buy it again....probably not. case in point, i'm trying to figure out what i'm going to buy to replace it.

We have an e6 (bagless cup emptied after most runs) and then got an i7. After 2 months, we never ever use the e6. Ever. Very similar vacuum hardware, but the i7 is so much more usable. And efficient, since it vacuums everything in straight lines, not like the random-walk e6. The bags last a long time, and it can clean the whole floor of the house on its own, which the e6 cannot do. When the i7’s cup fills up, or the battery needs to be recharged, it empties and recharges and then returns to where it left off. After dinner we tell it to vacuum the kitchen and then go clean by the front door, then we go outside with the kids, and it’s magically all done by the time we come back. Perfect. Sure, once in a while it kicks a cheerio over to a spot it already vacuumed, but so what - even the dishwasher misses something on a fork once in a while, but it’s still 1,000x better than hand washing.

If it comes with the clean base that's an excellent deal! The mapping tech is surprisingly good in our experience. We've even stopped the robot, picked it up and placed it somewhere else on our home and it was able to find its way back to the base. Also handy that you can now create zones and name them and tell your robot to clean the kitchen table or living room rug etc etc.

If you have 3 different floors of the same house, can you use just one i7+ to remember and vaccum all the three flooring? Or can one roomba only work for one floor?

In theory, a Roomba can learn and vacuum multiple floor plans. Keep in mind that it will take a significant amount of time in order for the machine to learn

The thing I feel these reviews tend to be seriously missing is discussion of how they handle long hair. I have a roomba e6, which seems to have the same basic brushes, and every time I empty it, I spend a significant amount of time getting my hair out of it. So it seems like a vacuum base just sucking the dirt out of its bin is going to be useless in a house with anybody with long hair.

We bought the essentially identical i6+ from Amazon on a huge discount. One of the best purchases we've ever made. With a big dog with black fur and light colored tile sweeping has been the bane of our existence, just can't do it enough. Problem solved, just automate it daily!

Good to see a six month review. Back when the first Roomba was sold, I bought one from BedBathAndBeyond at a sale, it didn't last six months at all, it just started operating for 30 seconds at a time before shutting down and replacing it's battery pack didn't help. That turned me off the robots for quite some time despite really liking having the constant cleaning.

I had the same issue with an early model. It was great for a while and then just didn't operate any decent amount of time. I had a warranty with Square Trade and they simply had me send it back and they refunded me a prorated amount for the unit. That was perhaps 10+ years ago. Now I'm back in the market for a robot vac and I'm getting the i7.

I can’t turn on the light just to have the robot run. Also my house is only 800 square feet and I fill up my Neato week when it runs twice a week. I doubt it would last half a year.

I have one. I think in this model it should be great on rugs. I have a rug that the i7 has issues. Thinks the brushes are blocked at some points and they’re not. Not too happy about this. Still not engineered well enough for some things

@KittenNinja86
@KittenNinja86 3 жыл бұрын
Depends on how long it was stuck. Usually you get a notification on your phone in addition to an audible tone from the roomba. It gives you a time limit to fix whatever the issue is and then hit start for it to continue it's current task. If you don't make it in time, which I think it's like 20min, it will cancel the current job and you will have to restart.

You should try to use this roomba with a lot of pet hair in your house because my mom has a rumba and we use it every day we had to clean out the trash bin every day and knock the filter clean because my sister has a dog we used to have two dogs but one passed away.
