i7

I disagree.. i have a roomba I7 and the brush design is far superior to toborocks.. Ya, hair neatly rolls up at the edges.. That is what it is supposed to do

Sim valem muito a pena, a minha casa é de apenas 1 piso e o aspirador é fantástico, ainda tenho um i7 que na altura era o mais atual, mas ainda funciona bem, de vez em quando desorienta se mas nada que uma limpeza não resolva

I’ve been seeing the roomba I-versions (i3, i7 etc) gently used on Facebook marketplace. It’s not perfect and some of the programming is annoying but for the most part it does a good job on our carpet with our dogs. I still run the real vacuum once a month or maybe every 2 weeks but the roomba helps a lot. I have one without the self empty so I’m looking to pick one up with it

My first robot was the i7, bought in 2020 (with a matching Braava). I thought, at the time, this was the best of what robots had to offer. It wasn't until I started testing robots that I understood just how poorly iRobot was adapting to the changes in the industry. I recently tested the 205, part of the new lineup. I thought it performed abysmally. [https://lifehacker.com/tech/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-review](https://lifehacker.com/tech/roomba-205-dustcompactor-combo-review) The app kept crashing (I tried on a few platforms) and it wasn't my only complaint. In terms of apps, it depends on whether you're striving for simplicity or features. I enjoy little talked about features like Pin and Go and Remote Control, and kind of hate in app adverts. So Roborock is one of my favs. But Ecovacs and Dreame robots have a decent app as well. I would never, ever overlook Switchbot, btw.

HI! I purchased my first robot (a roomba i7) in 2020. Since then, I've literally begun testing them for a living. The difference between 2020 and now is just absurd, and I mean that in every way. The difference between two years ago and now is fantastic. 1. Navigation- almost all robots now use LiDAR and some use LiDAR and AI assisted cameras. They map a room within seconds, and can tell what kind of surface is on the floor, where furniture is. The LiDAR makes obstacle recognition and avoidance a whole new ball game. 2. Extending sweeps and mops- You likely had a static mop pad and sweep. But now, they are on extending arms, and can reach under stoves, up to walls, and around spaces the robot can't fit. 3. Towers clean the mop- they sterilize, they auto dispense detergent, they can be piped directly to your water line. They're also modern and in some cases, beautiful. 4. The apps have better features, like remote control, pin and go, voice recognition, and a ton more map controls. 5. Roller design has improved 100x. Split rollers, rollers with razor cutters.... hair just isn't the issue it used to be. it's just not the same. Invest.

got a [roomba i7+](https://oklookup.com/review/roomba-i7-vacuum/) and honestly, it’s been pretty solid on my high-pile rugs. like, it actually manages to pull out a good amount of hair, especially with the self-emptying feature. super convenient, but the downside is it can get stuck sometimes, especially if there’s anything like a toy or a shoe in the way. tbh, i still have to do a manual run every now and then just to catch what it misses. also, for the smell thing, i’ve tried those air purifiers and they kinda help, but nothing beats a good deep clean every once in a while.

I have both Roborock Saros 10R and Eufy e28 on your list for a couple of weeks now. And for now I decided to keep both. Posted a review earlier: https://www.reddit.com/r/Roborock/s/PW7vVWd6uN From my limited research, Roborock seems to be the most reliable brand, with Eufy coming in second. I also had a Roomba i7+ for about 3 years. I would say for vacuuming performance, 10R and e28 would not exceed your i8, but they are much better in other aspects, such as navigation and mopping. If your floor is mostly tile, both should do fine. Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

I have 4 cats and 1 dog. I run my i7 every day and vacuum with an upheld a few times a month so the roomba gets most of the pet hair. I swear the bag lasts like half a year, it’s insane.
