Product Information

After that, you can schedule the Roomba® i7+ Braava jet® m6 and to clean certain rooms at certain times, or have the robots clean an entire level of your home. The i7+ cleaned for about 60 minutes before needing to be recharged, short of the 90-minute mark you'll find on many other high-end models. The Roomba i7+ does a great job here, too, and removes 60% of the sand on the short carpet and 70% on the higher carpet. We noticed that sometimes - very rarely - the brushes scatter a bit of lighter dirt in the room on hard floors during our tests . You can send the iRobot to clean a specific room, let it vacuum your bedroom first and then your living room.

The most important difference between the i7 and the j7 is that the latter has a front-facing camera that enables it to avoid obstacles, while the i7 only has a top-mounted camera and therefore is more prone to bumping into or running over things before correcting itself. An excellent app that offers fully customisable maps and quality navigation make this a quality robot cleaner, but suction power isn’t as good as rival models. This intuitive experience only from iRobot means that a request to your voice assistant* or via the iRobot Home App enables the Roomba® i7/i7+ Robot Vacuum to clean up mess for you, right when it happens – immediately clean that spot and consider it done. Finally, I went for the trickier edge test, sprinkling flour on the floor right up to the plinth in the kitchen. The iRobot Roomba i7+ mastered the task - It stops before a precipice and then takes off in a different direction.But this isn’t a big deal since you’ll probably rarely use the robot vacuum at night - Unless you want to annoy your neighbours ? Unfortunately, debris like sand can get caught inside the vacuum, and may require you to remove this debris before it can resume cleaning again.

Robot vacuums get smarter with each generation, and iRobot's Roomba i7+ might just be the most advanced model we've tested to date.

In the "Maintenance" section, you can see when you have to replace individual spare parts (brushes, HEPA filters, etc. Experience a comprehensive clean with Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes and 10X the Power-Lifting Suction* that pulls in dirt, debris, and pet hair from wherever it hides, along with an Edge-Sweeping Brush to take care of the details. And if we’d made a mess in the living room it was just a case of doing a quick clean of that room rather than letting the robot run through the whole house.But it’s an effective cleaner, with rubber multi-surface brushes that pull hair and debris from carpets and an edge-sweeping brush that gets into corners. Once you flip the vacuum over, you’ll immediately notice some improvements to the rubber rollers that pull in dirt, as there are now more – and more refined – grooves for better pickup.

iRobot sticks with vSLAM and as it’s used on Mars landers, so it should be good enough for your robot cleaner. Especially the cleaning performance on carpets, the precise navigation, and the app were outstanding. It did get caught on a power cable at one point, but that kind of thing can happen to any robot vacuum cleaner. When you tap the Clean and Map Now button in the Smart Maps tab, the i7+ will venture out to learn the layout of your home and create a customizable floor map while vacuuming. Each bag can hold 30 bin-fulls of dirt, so you’re looking at replacing a bag every couple of months or so, depending on how often you use your robot.
