Pros
The Roomba itself is fairly quiet
Does well on the hard wood floors
Don't have to manually empty dust bin on vacuum
Looks good
App is pretty easy to use
Alexa integration works well

Cons
Doesnt do well with dog hair on an area rug - bunches it up but cant get it removed from the surface of the rug. the dog has pretty fine hair so not a big con as my dyson and shark uprights have had issues with that rug/dog combo as well.

This one is super annoying and caused me to adjust when I let the roomba clean. The empty function is extremely loud. I would not want this going off at night. Since I work from home and am on calls a lot this is also limits the time I can have it run.

Other than that I am happy with my purchase after 2 weeks of use. Would love to give 4.5 stars but it was 4 or 5. Since this isnt perfect it gets 4

I think battery needs replacement and mapping system needs improvement

Still trying to get it to work properly. Every time so far it quits much earlier than it is supposed to do so. Has not yet mapped all of the rooms completely. Dont know how to add new portions of map to toal and dont kn ow how to get it to charge suffieciently to work for 85 or 90 minutes. Has not worked yet for more than 45.Read full review...

Irobot J7+ Review

Seems To work Great So Far it's a lot Quieter then my old Roomba.
Only had it for a few days so only time will tell how long it will last.
it was missing the side brush when i got it. so i had to call i robot and they send a new one for free.
it would have been nice if they gave you an extra bag so you can put it in when the other one gets full.
it was a good price compared to how much it cost new.
other then that there's not much else to say about it

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. Read full review...

Best Buy in a long time

iRobot Roomba j7 is a great little machine. It maps out the house and starts cleaning right away. It goes under the couch. When it’s full, it goes back home and docks into the home base for self cleaning. Read full review...

Cleans up well.

The vacuum has worked well (only used it a few times so far). It is pretty thorough - it eventually works into corners and around chairs and under tables-anywhere there is clearance for it. It has vacuumed rugs of varying thickness with no real problems (sometimes it takes a few tries to get up and onto a rug). The bag self-unloader seems to work well-I can see how it would be a hassle to do it by hand. Read full review...

New roomba save your money from retail!

Was very easy to plug in out of the box. Looked brand new and performs perfectly. I love how it goes back to empty at the base. My last roomba was 10 years old. Love this one.

Don't buy. Lots of issues and not certified refurbished.

Don't buy. You're being scammed with this "certified" refurbished. It came with multiple issues right out of the box. It kept telling me every 2 minutes to clean the brushes when the brushes are indeed clean because I just took it out of the box. Secondly, it kept stopping like every 5 minutes due to bumper stuck error. I had to keep pushing the bumper once to release and keep it running when there was nothing stuck there. Lastly, it kept on rotating at the same spot for like 3 minutes sometimes when there was nothing blocking it in 4-5ft radius.

Called iRobot, sent videos, they told me to send it for repair. Don't they have to repair all these issues before selling it as a certified refurbished? I politely asked and they refused to send me another refurbished as a replacement even with multiple issues. I had J8 before. Like others said, the battery also runs way shorter than it is supposed to. Returning.
