Iāve had Roombas since ~2016, a 960 and an i7+. While I wish they integrated with HomeAssistant a little better, they have been rock solid, especially the i7+ due to the self emptying. Currently the i7 runs daily on the main floor and the 960 runs in my bedroom(when I remember to empty it). Had to replace some parts on the i7 and they were mostly easily acquirable directly from iRobot, so that has been nice. Do a little bit of network monitoring and they donāt really ever seem to randomly phone home, so thatās nice.
Iām new to the flow 2 and the map editing was frustrating the first week, requiring some barriers to coax it along.
But otherwise it has seemed more mature than my previous iRobot I7+ and M6 pairing.
Itās fast and does a great job.
Have a Roomba i7+ (self emptying). It did great with a GSD. With the lab it does well on wood floors and self-emptying works great. However on shag it does leave some rolled up clumps of hair that I can grab by hand when it's done.
Now own three different vacs and a carpet cleaner for a 1000 sq ft condo... but he's the best dog ever so it's all good.

I'm still using mu Roomba e6 , i7+ and Briavia mopper and they work perfectly in cleaning my place. IMO, no need for the newest most expensive robot :)
Hello,
Iām looking to get a new vacuum mop combo. I have three dogs and a young child so my floors are always dirty. My current set up is a roomba I7+ that has served me well for almost 7 yearsbut is starting to decline quickly. I also have a Brava jet m6 that works but isnāt ideal and takes forever. I donāt want to break the bank but I want something that is going to last like my roomba did and do a good job. I run my vacuums every night. Looking to spend up to $800. Thanks!
I \_just\_ moved from Roomba (i7+) to Roborock (Qrevo CurvX) a couple weeks ago and still have two i7+'s running (or trying to run) on the other levels of my home. In almost every way, the Roborock makes the Roomba feel like it's a hundred years old. In other ways, likely related to stupid patents, the Roomba is better.
\* The Roomba empties the bin whenever it's full. Gotta play settings games in Roborock and hope it gets itright.
\* The roomba will back up and re-vacuum and area where it detects more dirt. This will also be reflected in the map after a run, which matters not at all except to give you a sense of "yeah, I did see a mess there. So it's working."
\* I can save "zones" to clean in rather than set them up every time or make them part of a routine. This is such an oversight that I have to believe it's also patent-related.

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
