"Yesterday my wife left a six way charger on the floor with six USB cables coming out of it and I think that the robot just vacuumed it and carried on and there was no photo but apparently no problem either."
"My iRobot J7+ is excellent at obstacle avoidance. ... Even avoided tiny puke on carpet once that I hardly noticed."
"superior per waste avoidance compared to any brand. ... For me I prioritized better carpet cleaning, support team, and poop avoidance which is why I got the j7"

"Honestly, when I have it on schedule, it keeps the house clean and I don't see any hair at all"
"To me, the most important thing is cleaning all the dirt and leaves, and trash stuck on his fur from the outside on a daily basis... and the robots take care of that."
"I’ve been using the iRobot Roomba j7+, and it’s been such a relief for handling pet hair! ... I have a Labrador and a cat, and their hair used to be everywhere, especially on my rugs. The Roomba does an amazing job on both hardwood floors and carpets, and it rarely misses a spot."

"The self emptying bots are a game changer for the hair. The device itself gets so much less tangled up and grody when it can purge."
"Comes with a base station that it blows the content into. ... Super low maintenance that way."
"The reason is it's the only brand with a bin full sensor. The pet hair will clog most others"

"I really wanted to test out its capabilities, so I didn’t vacuum the room before I set the Roomba to it. ... it was chock full of dirt and dog hair!"

"Both do very well keeping up with my German Shepherd's shedding, and for the first time in decades of GSD ownership I can walk through my main living area at any time and not get hair all over my socks."

"And *my favorite part* is that after the first week or so it’s physically incapable of doing a full run one the place without needing to be rescued from *something* (shadows, can’t find the doc, “stuck” in a room with the door wide open)."
"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"It was making phantom rooms I was done playing the delete and re-map until the map gets perfect, which did work for me in the past but I was over it."

"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"
"It’s loud. ... We have a one story house so it will wake you up if you try to run it at night, and my kids are scared of it."
"I don’t run it very often because the sound makes my dog bark so I have to only run it when the dog isn’t in the house, which isn’t that often"

"pretty pathetic excuse for mopping"
"The retractable mops on the latter look very fragile to me ... and I actually had to return my J7+ because that retractable mop wasn't working anymore"
"Robot vacuums can mop well , but Roomba just can ’t."

"half the time it isnt running because of a clog in the vaccuum bin or base station. ... The bin is usually easy to fix, but this last time it was the tube that goes to the bag (another expense i didnt have with the shark) and that required disassembly."
