J7 or j5?
The J7 does not have a mop. The combo version does. J7:https://www.irobot.co.uk/en_GB/irobot-roomba-j7/J715840.html Combo:https://www.irobot.co.uk/en_GB/roomba-combo/C715640.html Then I think the '+' adds better obstacle avoidance.

Robot vacuums genuinely useful or just a toy you paid too much for?
This thread is populated with people that haven't used a good robot vacuum or a modern one. My Roomba J7+ runs 7 days a week. It almost never gets stuck. I have mostly hard floors (almost zero carpet) and it keeps them stupidly clean. Even my air filter for my AC unit is FAR cleaner than any place I

Well, it finally happened in my house to my sweet little Robo vacuum🤢
I think I have done this twice or three times. I think it was nesto d7 and roomba j7+ that had one year guarantee it won't run into petshit, or something like that. Wasn't this bad tho, and one time was old dried out shit. I don't run my vacuums on schedule anymore, always quick visual inspection wi

Will I regret buying robovac, just another overpriced toy?
I went from a Roomba J7 to a Tapo Max Plus something just due to the auto-empty dock and despite being a cheaper buy that made the difference for me. The Tapo definitely has worse object detection but I’m still happy with it overall. Low maintenance auto vacuuming for less than $300 is a pretty good

Garage roomba, anyone?
TLDR - I have one and love itLong explanation - I bought a Roomba J7 Plus self emptying robot from the eBay Certified Refurbished program. I believe I paid $200 for it this spring. I chose Roomba because it handled the changes in the space better than RoboRock - I have a four post lift and raising i

Saros 10 owners: is it “gentle” or does it bash walls/cabinets?
I recently got a roborock, I was using a Roomba j7 previously The roomba had no lidar and only relied on camera. The Roborock is miles better at navigating than my roomba. The roomba would slam into everything while the Roborock will get close but not actually touch or just lightly brush against wal

Vacuuming Corgi Fur
Yes, get one that has auto empty. Mine runs every morning before anyone gets up. Sometimes it gets stuck because of a rug or item, but for the most part it runs without issue. Edit: I have a irobot roomba j7+, I think it's 2 years old now. I had an older robot rock, the first Gen I think with the mo

How Wall Street Ruined the Roomba and Then Blamed Lina Khan
Also a lot of the newer ones have cameras. Source: The Roomba j7+ that I picked up off the curb and cleaned up (I sure wouldn't have paid the $800 MSRP for the thing). The camera on the front is supposed to let it identify clutter vs immobile furniture/walls, and identify pet turds and hairballs to

Robot vacuum
I have a Roomba J7+. It was their first one that they say will avoid poo. Fortunately, we've never had to test that in the year we have had Ranger. It works well, but iRobot is having issues with money right now and the model is older. If you get one, it is important to remember that they still requ

Should I get a robot vacuum?
Our Roomba J7 is an idiot. Always gets stuck, can’t find “home”, runs over cat barf even though it’s supposed to avoid pet messes, eats toys and has to be saved. The mapping is god awful and doesn’t improve. OEM replacement parts are stupidly expensive. Biggest waste of money.
