the only issue i faced is the communication between the rumba and its clean base, which is faulty because of the product voltage. i even purchased a convertor but still didn’t do the job. what this means is that the rumba won’t discharge automatically, although it should.
other than that, if this rumba version is launched in your country, then it is worth the cost, as it cleans quite nicely.

Roomba does not have LIDAR navigation. I do have another robot that is LIDAR so I can give a rough pros and cons of the two type of navigation system.
Roomba relies more on bumping into things and it’s map to navigate. There’s good and bad. The bad is that it will often go around the house as if it’s a drunk bumping into furniture and objects. The robot needs to learn your floorplan and that can take a long time since it’s bumping into everything. It took me about 5 runs of my whole house. Each run took about 3 -4 hours since my house is 2500 sq ft. Prior to it learning my house, it’s navigation looked like it was non existent. I thought I had just bought the dumbest robot especially compared to my inexpensive $300 LIDAR robot. However, once the robot declared that it had learned my floorplan everything changed and I began to see the benefits of the iRobot navigation system.
Even after learning my floorplan, the iRobot still takes forever navigating around table and chair legs. Bumping and taking multiple attempts to escape the forest of chair legs, but surprisingly, it has never gotten stuck in my house. I have set it to vacuum my entire house several times and in total it has vacuumed about 20,000 sq ft in it’s lifetime so far and it has never gotten stuck. We have kids so there’s a lot of toys and miscellaneous items everywhere so that’s amazing to me.
My LIDAR robot on the other hand navigates beautifully around furniture but it can’t see cords or other lower to the ground objects and it constantly gets stuck on these objects. Also because LIDAR isn’t bumping into things to navigate it gets stuck under my couch because the fabric under my couch sags and the LIDAR robot will travel underneath the couch but then think it’s blocked in by the fabric when it tries to leave the couch area. The iRobot doesn’t have this problems because whenever it’s in doubt it just goes barreling through and utilizes the bump sensor to feel around.
The other problem with my $300 LIDAR unit was that it would sometimes do a cleaning run but mistakenly think that there is a new floorplan and erase the old one. It’s more sensitive to changes because it’s LIDAR hardware can detect small changes. This is probably more a software issue. The iRobot on the other hand, is very hesitant to change it’s map. That is good in that it has never erased my current floorplan or made incorrect modifications, however, the initial “learning of the floorplan” is a bit harder if it doesn’t discover all your rooms. Getting it to discover new rooms is more difficult since the floor plan is locked in. I’ve found the best way to get it to discover new rooms after it has “learned the floorplan” is to do an area clean and just draw a box where to new room should be. Once I did that, it would explore that area and declare it found a new space and then it was added to the floorplan.
A few other more minor issues is that the Roomba software is polished but also very limited on options as compared to my inexpensive LIDAR unit. For example, I can’t set how often the Roomba should self empty or the quiet times (they removed the beta feature for quiet times). These are important features since the self empty dock is very loud. Much louder then my LIDAR robots self empty dock. I’m not that sensitive to noise. The noise level is just a design flaw. I can’t imagine going forward they will keep this design. If you live in a small apartment then you should definitely be aware that you will be disturbing your neighbors or yourself when it self empties. It’s louder than my large shop vac.

“Tecnological Wonder: iRobot Roomba J7+!” The self-emptying feature is revolutionary; it demonstrates cutting-edge technology by detecting and avoiding obstructions such as cords and pet waste. But it still occasionally runs into things and makes a lot of noise. The Roomba J7+ is an effective and dependable option for keeping a clean home, despite these small issues, because to its smart features and general cleaning efficiency. With its self-emptying feature and ability to avoid obstacles, the occasional noise and bumps become insignificant, resulting in a smooth cleaning experience. The world of robotic vacuums has been enhanced by iRobot, a company that consistently leads the way in innovation.

Bought from Amazon .co.uk. Cam with US plug so I had to have an adapter. Then machine was unable to self empty because power difference between U.K. and US. Why sell US version in U.K.? Had to return it . Hopeless.

Quién ha tenido una Roomba o Robot limpiador en su vida sabe que esto cambia mucho la vida cotidiana.
Yo me acabo de actualizar de una Roomba 960 a esta J7+ y sólo puedo decir que no me arrepiento para nada.
Esta roomba es la más “inteligente” de mercado por la gran cantidad de sensores y cámara con luz que ayudan a la detección de obstáculos, sin embargo, esto no la hace que sea excelente en todo, pero si una de las mejores opciones a considerar vs otras.
Pros:
Sensores por todos lados, esto evita que se caiga por las escaleras, que choque o raspe innecesariamente los muebles, paredes o puertas de tu casa.
Cámara delantera: mejora su sistema de navegación y detecta obstáculos COMUNES: ropa, cables, zapatos, bolsas… la lista se actualiza en cada nueva actualización que reciba la roomba, y como tiene un led integrado, no es necesario prender siempre la luz para ayudar en su camino.
* Base de limpieza: su bolsa se cambia entre 3 y 6 meses dependiendo de cuanto espacio aspira tu roomba.
* Mapeo inteligente: agrega habitaciones o zonas de limpieza o zonas prohibidas.
* Una o dos pasadas para aspirar.
* Compatible con Alexa, Google Assistant o atajos de Siri.
Cons:
* Es bastante ruidosa, sobre todo cuando se activa la base para limpiar la roomba.
* A pesar de que la base limpia la roomba hay que darle mantenimiento cada semana o cada 2 semanas para remover cabellos atorados o posibles basuras que no permitan su funcionamiento optimo.
* La batería dura poco.
* A veces la app de Alexa no es asertiva con las instrucciones dadas.
* Es grande, considera el espacio si es que tu depa o casa es pequeña y ni cuentas con espacio en tu piso para darle un buen acomodo.
* Dado que es un producto recién lanzado al mercado aún tiene ciertos errores.
* La creación de mapas no es la mejor, yo he tenido problemas que he resuelto cambiando de lugar su base y corriendo un par de veces el mapeo.
* Ya no tiene el botón para limpieza circular manual.
Algunos tips para su mejor uso:
Si eres un desesperado y quieres usarla antes de mapear TODA tu casa, puedes comenzar situando la base en un lugar con buen espacio y comenzar con un trabajo de descubrimiento, pararlo cuando sea necesario y continuar después con el resto de tu casa.
Los mapas no son tan precisos como los genera la Braava Jet m6, pero tiene la ventaja de que al completarlo puedas compartirlo con tu otroa robots compatibles ( o si ya tienes otro robot que mapea, puedes usarlos)
No dejes nada tirado en tu piso, aun cuando es bueno detectando obstáculos no siempre los evita, sobre todo cosas pequeñas como aretes, monedas, pasadores y cosas por el estilo.
No lo dejes limpiar zonas mojadas, pueden dañar los sensores.
Crea tantas zonas de limpieza o prohibidas como necesites, siempre ayudan con los pequeños detalles como zonas que no se limpian bien en las pasadas por habitación o tapetes que son delicados y no debe pasar la roomba.
Yo recomiendo comprar una cinta de “Burletes” para suavizar los bumpers de la roomba y ni lastimar muebles delicados.
Revisa rodillos y ruedas cada 15 días o cada mes para retirar cualquier detalle que evite que funcione adecuadamente.
Recuerda que estos robots están para ayudarnos con tareas diarias que nos consumen tiempo, no esperes que reemplacen al 100% el trabajo humano.

The iRobot not emptying the bin, I requested return and it was approved by Amazon, the seller returned the package after I sent it and paid $300 shipping, now I lost $1400 dollars to thin air. Amazon should help me, and Amazon now is telling me the seller is no longer in Amazon store , that is bull **, it’s not my concern I want my money back .

UPDATE #2: It has now been several more months. I love it I love it I love it. One major issue for me was that it was a pain in the butt to carry the base around in a multilevel home. After rereading the instruction manual I discovered that I’m not supposed to do that, that you can just carry the machine around and place it. As long as it does not have to empty the bin or recharge, it does not necessarily have to begin and end on the charging base. Ok so this has made my life so much easier. I did have to update my maps several times to teach it not to expect the base when it was done, and it has since behaved perfectly well. (The first few times it wandered around for a long time and the program said “searching for base” and I felt sorry for it 🤣. I didn’t want to delete my map that had the base on it and start over because I had to teach it to stay off of a shaggy rug and that took a lot of tweaking). I also have stopped being stingy with use and have given in and am carrying it around and running it more often and sometimes going over areas twice to get all the cat litter, and my house stays so clean. That means I will have to change the filters and rollers more often but oh well!
UPDATE: It has now been another month or so. I like the machine more and more and am changing the review to 5 stars. I have continued to tweak the programs I have set up on the app, and its performance improves. Since we have a cat, a major issue is the cat litter which she manages to drag all over. The machine sometimes will miss some litter in certain areas, and since we have dark floors it shows up brightly and drives me nuts. I can tell the robot to go over certain areas twice and that solves that problem. (Honestly the cleaners we hired would sometimes miss just as much if not more because the tiny specks get ground into the carpet). Another thing is that on our smooth wooden floors, the edge sweeping brush sometimes seems to scatter small particles around rather than pushing them into the rollers, and I have to have it go twice in places for that reason too. But with these tweaks it has been doing a really good job!! The suction is very good and the machine is surprisingly quiet. Also I am getting used to it and learning to leave it alone and not follow it around, so I’m much more relaxed about it. Another good thing—in the app the machine will tell you when it needs maintenance. There is a countdown to when I will need to change the filter and rollers, and I see that I will not need to change them nearly as often as I thought! The manual says filter every 2 month and rollers every 6 months, but according to my runtime it is going to be about double that, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice 😉.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I do like this little machine. I hate and I mean HATE vacuuming and my husband has a bad neck and can’t vacuum. We had hired a cleaning service but it made the cat go crazy and just became much more stressful than it was worth. So we decided to get this realizing it would pay for itself (in the absence of the cleaning service) after a few months.
You need to pick up all your things and allow it to make mapping runs when you first get started. The interface is an app on the iPad and it is very straightforward to operate, and you can make detailed programs and constantly tweak them based on the machine’s performance. The suction power and ability to pick stuff up—including cat hair and cat litter—is excellent. It is not very loud. The cat is not bothered by it, and EVERYTHING bothers her, so I am kind of amazed by that. I love that it goes back to its base and empties itself when its little bin is full.
I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple reasons. It is godawful expensive. I have learned that the replacement rollers and filters are kind of expensive and have to be changed very regularly. Also—and I admit a lot of this is my issue due to OCD—so far I feel like I have to babysit it and be aware of where it is and what it’s doing, which defeats some of the purpose of getting the machine to do the work in the first place. I am hoping this will improve in time since I have tweaked some of the programs and the machine is learning, and I just need to get used to it. Some of this is due to the fact that I have a multilevel home and have to carry the base around and then tell it to go, rather than just setting programs and ignoring it, which can’t be helped. It would be much better in a single level.
All in all it’s really good, and has the potential to be great, but time will tell. We will see if the rollers and filters have to be changed as often as it says. Probably the filters do, because of my cat, but maybe the rollers can last a little longer.
