Love my Roomba j7!!!
A friend bought me an iHome robot vacuum for Christmas and it was terrible, it never went home, it bumped into walls trying to find home, would run out of battery and would never make it home, it really never mapped, and the last straw was the app deleted the robot without cause. My friend was very excited to get this for me, so I did not have the nerve to tell him it was terrible. So, I sold it to a friend with a small one room apartment and bought this Roomba j7 vacuum. I never told him I did this so he wouldn't feel bad. This Roomba is amazing, it maps very well and zones rooms. The programing is very easy, and you can schedule it to vacuum at any time you want, it also can do only certain rooms if you want, or high traffic areas that get extra dirty all the time. I have a den that has about a 2-inch step down and two times Roomba went into the room and could not get out, so I was able to put a "no go zone" and since then it does not try to vacuum that room. If you schedule a vacuuming and it runs low on battery it will go home to recharge, pause job and then resumes where it left off, totally finishing the job. It has not once got caught up on cords or any other things that could be a problem. When it goes home, each time it self-empties into a disposable bag in charging station. I have had two robot vacuums, one an early model and it was terrible then the one my friend bought me, now this Rumba j7. This is the best one, with little to no problem yet. I bought this Rumba from Ebay, it is refurbished through Roomba and direct through Roomba, so I have all the customer support, came with a 2-year warranty and I saved hundreds of dollars. I highly recommend buying this vacuum and I suggest buying a refurbished through Roomba on Ebay. It's worth it.
