With two labs and a cat our J6+ has been a valuable member of the family over the years. An absolute life changer, we love you Alfred, thank you for your service. (Sorry for trapping you in the bathroom)
I have an old j6+ that is a workhorse. I lightly clean it every weekend. It runs every day on hard floor surfaces. (I have a golden who sheds nonstop). I also have an s9+ for my carpeted spaces. It rarely returns to base. Inevitably I find it in the room it was supposed to be cleaning telling me the brushes need to be cleaned(they don’t). As Fire_Hunter_8413 noted, it chews those brushes up and I can never get the side brush to last longer than a week. When it does work, it vacuums extremely well. Idk why they chose such crappy brushes for it.
I will have to try the hack for the brushes - I have to change them frequently because of the dog fur.
My dog is a short hair, but I am myself a long-haired breed and I shed like crazy. I have a roomba J6+ which is not even close to being the newest model so you know they're getting better every generation.
This vacuum is garbage. I literally threw mine in the garbage after needing two replacements because they don’t operate properly and the charging contacts melt. Not worth $5.

Proper maintenance by checking the underside and rollers for tangles is very important. When I got a Roborock I gave away my Roomba j6 to a family member. Within 2 weeks, they said it broke. I didn't get a chance to see the robot for another 4 months and when I took it all apart the rollers had more things wrapped around them than what could even fit in the bin. I was pretty grossed out cleaning it up. I told them I sold it for parts, when I actually got it working again.

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