Roomba i7+ auto-start only works when phone app connected to WiFi
by Michael H. (3 out of 5 stars)
November 7, 2018

Buyer beware: I was told by iRobot customer support that the smartphone app is what triggers the "start" of a scheduled cleaning, and that if the smartphone is not connected to a WiFi (not cellular) network at the time of the schedule start, the Roomba robot will not start automatically cleaning according to what the user programmed. I was told this doesn't have to be the same (ie home) WiFi network, but in fact could be any wifi network, such as place of work, or public wifi. While none of this makes sense to me, nor do I view this as a good design, this is what I was told. I am disappointed to find out that one of the best features of Roomba, ie unattended scheduled cleanings, doesn't work unless the user and his or her smartphone is connect to Wifi at the scheduled time. This makes the price tag a bit too high for my taste if any of this is true. If this is not true, then iRobot needs to train it's customer support staff better.

Roomba is great, automatic home base is junk
by Amazon Customer (1 out of 5 stars)
February 24, 2019

Arrived this week. Got a good run or two out of it before the app started telling me to manually empty the bin and clean the sensors. Thats odd, but I did it. Then it happened again on the next run. Empty clean repeat. And again and again.

Called Roomba support. They can connect to the app and see the errors. Thats cool. Takes some troubleshooting but finally decide the problem is in the home base. And it is no longer doing its emptying job, so the Roomba keeps giving errors.

Now it gets crazy, in order to start troubleshooting the base it requires tools and taking the things apart. And if you dont have the right tools you are stuck. Wont warranty it or move forward with troubleshooting unless you are comfortable breaking apart your brand new $1100 vacuum

Excellant IRoobot
by Wayne Everett (5 out of 5 stars)

Purchased this 2 days ago.

Boy am I impressed! I have 2 dogs that shed a lot< I have lamented flooring. This Iroobot i7 cleaned it like a po!

The floors just sparkled when it was finished.

My room areas are about 960 square ft... took it about a hour to do the job.

This machine will detect the dirtiest areas and keep cleaning till clean.

When the dust bin is full it returns to the base and empty then resumes where it left off. If the battery is low it will return to its base charge then resume its duties where it left off. Just a amazing machine .

Highly recomend this Iroobot.

Wait until they fix the problem
by Smurfette12 (1 out of 5 stars)

We are returning the unit because the right bumper keeps getting stuck even after getting a second unit from Roomba. Don't Waste your money on this until they fix the problem. We have only had about 12 runs on each unit until it stops working because of the senor problem under the bumper.

Great Appliance
by Cerin (5 out of 5 stars)
March 24, 2019

First impressions, it looks very slick. It comes out of the box almost ready to go. I just had to plug in the docking station. The Android app installed on my phone and connected to the robot via my wifi flawlessly. Then I kicked off a cleaning routine...and it complained about it's bumper being stuck. The help docs told me to tap the bumper to unstick, which I did several times, but this did nothing. So I tried putting it back in its dock, and that somehow fixed the problem, and it completed its cleaning routine.

Then a few days later, I tried running another cleaning routine. It completed it and then went back to its dock. However, before docking, it starting to spin around. It did about a dozen revolutions before it stopped, turned its status light red, and again reported "bumper stuck, tap bumper to unstick". Again, it's bumper was not stuck, but I tried tapped it "to dislodge debris", and again, that did nothing. Unfortunately, putting it manually back in its dock did not fix it. As soon as it undocks, it complains about its bumper being stuck. As the bumper moves freely (I can even hear the little click of the contact switches activating), I assume it's probably a defect in one of the switches.

I've contacted iRobot, but so far I haven't heard back from them, making this $1000 robot a glorified paperweight. I've heard the horror stories about their robots breaking down after a few months, but I didn't think it would happen after a couple days. It's especially frustrating, because when it works, it works quite well. That should be IRobot's new motto...

Edit 2019-5-21: After working with their customer service, and proving the defect with some photos taken with my camera, they provided a replacement unit that worked perfectly out of the box. It's ironic that of all the sophisticated technology in it, I'd get one with a bad bumper switch, which is arguably the simplest component. Their customer service ended up being very helpful and were able to resolve the issue.

Reginald is really earning his keep
by Pam K (5 out of 5 stars)

After a hiccup on my first delivery (the WiFi wasn't functional - but they quickly replaced my unit) I've had a chance to run it through its paces. It's great to just ask Alexa to send it on it's way and forget it. Reginald marches through the house returning to the base to empty and then carrying on his way. With my Siberian husky shedding I can always have clean floors. Most of my floors are wood with a few area rugs. The unit handles it all with no issues. Having the vacuum empty itself saves me from having interrupted cycles while it waits for me to empty it. The unit fits under almost all the furniture I have which saves a lot of hassle.

I am pleasantly surprised at how quiet the machine is. While it's emptying it's no louder than a standard vacuum but it's such a brief timespan that it's hardly worth mentioning. The other thing that's noteworthy is that my dog's hair does not clog the rollers or the ports. My normal vacuum is supposedly a 'pet' vacuum but it always ends up with Nikki's hair clogging everything, so that is a huge bonus for me. Plus Reginald picks all the hair out of the nap of the rugs. He has to return to base to recharge each time but I have the cycle set to double clean the entire area for now, so it's not a big deal. All things considered, this was an excellent purchase.

Fantastic for Multiple Pet Households
by bernerman (5 out of 5 stars)
March 15, 2019

We have two Bernese and two cats. The hair, dirt, and other effluvia are not to be believed. Our downstairs is a mix of carpet and hard floor, approximately 2200 s.f. This is our third Roomba and is far and away the best. Our 770 was a workhorse which had an unfortunate ESD reaction to a wheel replacement. The 980 which we bought about 18 months ago was great but began to show signs of age pretty quickly (it is now on much smaller upstairs carpet duty.)

This thing is a MONSTER. First of all, it's much quieter than the other two. It cleans much more quickly and thoroughly, without banging repeatedly into the skirting boards the way the 770 used to. The roller and brush design is smart and means less hair wrapped in a Gordian knot around the rollers the way the 770 and the 980 used to. And the automatic emptying feature works like a charm, although it does sound like the deck of an aircraft carrier for about 45 seconds while it empties. It's covered almost 22,000 s.f. in two weeks of use. Once a week with the Dyson on the area rugs just for good measure and our floors are clean!

The only slight downside is that the bin sensors are a bit touchy. Twice now, I've been told to clean them - but the good news is that the bin (except for the air filter) is dishwasher safe.

I know it's pricey. But if you have multiple hairy pets, this thing is the shiznit.

Auto empty is the final piece missing in robot vacuum
by Jianyu Chen (5 out of 5 stars)
January 12, 2019

Have a place with mostly carpet, I have to vacuum a lot. I used to have a Neato Connected, while it was a life-saver, emptying the dust bin multiple times in a single run means I can only run it when I was home, and it was quite dirty to empty the dust bin (dust bunny everywhere!).

The Roomba i7+ was a godsend to a lazy bum like me: it empties itself! Now I run it every other day even when I am at work. Coming home to a clean carpet is very nice, plus my wife likes the round shape better than the blocky front of Neato Connected.

Other things I noticed that are better than Neato: the main rubber brush does not tangle hairs while the Neato main brush has hair wrapped around it especially to the side, making it a nightmare to clean; Roomba resume cleaning after recharging is smarter than Neato; and Roomba bums into chairs and obstacles a lot less than Neato.

Overall, I am very happy with the i7+, Roomba could make the software a bit better like offer virtual lines so I don't need to purchase extra Virtual Wall Barriers, but meanwhile I sectioned off the 3 areas where my wife does yoga as different rooms, so I could simply tell the vacuum not to go to that "room" where she puts all her gears.

The best Roomba yet
by Amy Dru (5 out of 5 stars)
March 16, 2019

I have been using the iRobot Roomba i7 for about a month. It is SO expensive, and I have been actively looking for things that it does "wrong" or that I don't like. Needless to say, I have failed because it is AWESOME.

I had a Roomba about 5 years ago in a previous house. It worked fine, but I'm not sure it was worth the money then. This new version is fantastic. If you are already a Roomba lover, here are the things that are different about this Roomba than previous versions:
1. It is much quieter, and the noise it makes is not a high pitch that worries our dog.
2. The automatic dirt disposal base makes cleaning Roomba a weekly/monthly job instead of an everyday job. We have been using it about a month, and I would say we run it every other day. We have not had to empty the bin yet.
3. Though I thought the app feature was kind of dumb at first, I have really grown to love it. The map is super cool, so even if you are gone while Roomba is running, you can still see what she cleaned. The app will also update you when she docks, empties, or gets stuck. You can use the app to start/stop her.
4. The false wall that is included with this Roomba is a small rectangular piece that functions by itself. This is so much smaller and easier to manage that the old, chunky false walls.
5. This Roomba can clean a lot longer on a full battery charge. Mine will run for about an hour and half on a full charge and that is enough time to go over the first floor of my house (about 3500 sf) one time, completely.

If you have never had a Roomba before and you're on the fence, here is why it is the most phenomenal time-saver you can buy:
1. Unlike a housekeeper, Roomba is in your home ever day and can vacuum daily, or twice daily if you have a messy-eating toddler like me!
2. This is the best version of Roomba (see list above) and means you spend even less time dealing with vacuuming because you will only have to worry about emptying the base every week or so.
3. Roomba is fairly quiet compared to other vacuums and I can run it while my kids are sleeping without waking them up.
4. Roomba can go under anything that is about 3-4 inches off the ground, which typically means she can get under the edge of kitchen/bathroom cabinets towards the toekick. She will even go up under furniture that has fabric skirts hanging down to "hide" the underneath.
5. Roomba can clean any type of flooring. In my home, we have tile, hardwood, and low and high pile rugs. Roomba does it all with seamless transition. There is one transition in my home from hardwood to tile that I was worried about, but she goes right over without issue.
6. If Roomba is running upstairs, she has a sensor that will keep her from tumbling down the stairs.
7. Roomba has a sensor for shadows so she will slow down when she sees a shadow in anticipation for running into something. When Roomba hits something, she is completely padded so she won't leave any marks.

Seriously, just buy it if you can spring for it!

The one advice I can offer is: If you have a dog who sheds or a wife/daughter with long hair, you will occasionally have to help Roomba empty into the bin. Big wads/piles of hair can clog the port between Roomba and the base and keep Roomba from emptying. When I do have to help her, it is easy enough and I don't find it gross so no biggie.

Sadly, everything about it was nice, except pet hair performance.
by tylerschuett (3 out of 5 stars)

We unboxed it.

We instantly fell in love with it.

We named it "Lil Boop" because it boops things while it runs to learn the space.

The packaging was nice. The setup was a breeze. The app was easy to use. So we turned it on and watched it find its way through our carpeted living area. It diligently booped its way from one side of the room to the other, magically booping around and under the furniture. Wonderful.

Then it reached the open doggo play area. We have 2 golden retrievers.

Sadly, it started leaving large clumps of fur all over the carpet and wasn't able to pick it up. We felt bad for little boop. We tried to perform open robot surgery on Little Boop to see why it seized up on the doggo hair, and it had doggo hair all tangled in the rollers after its inaugural run across our floors.

We knew it didn't look good for Little Boop. Sadly we had to send it back to Amazon Heaven.

Sad Little Boop.
