j7 (7150)

2 dogs as well and the last robot (dreame) could not handle the hair, but the Older J7 roomba no mop did a great job. the Narwal flow and the Ecovacs are at the top of the list right now. Next week and in November are possible launches for newer vac/mops so we will see. cant say much on the wifi issue

I know I came from the J7 worked well and then the contract ended, not interested in paying for something beyond its price and it was starting to have issues, so we retired it and went with d and 7 months later it's not what they said it would be and IRo better get their game together fast or the once leader in floor robots will be gone and all that will be left is.......

At the risk of being downvoted to the 7th level of Hell. I have been using two refurbed Roomba J7s on my main floor and basement. They’ve worked great so far. Very few errors or issues.

Roomba j7, it does the kitchen every day, and the rest of the house every 2 days. Works great, even though it’s VSlam. Sees and skips obstacles, pet toys and messes. 🤞

Idk. I’ve seen a couple videos of the 705 and I’m shocked at how inferior its obstacle detection and avoidance is compared to both of my J7s. I think my J7 dragged a charging cord once in 3yrs. But the 705s on YouTube ran over cords, kids toys etc. so far the 705 can still avoid dog poop. Thank goodness.

I’ll just chime in that the two Roomba J7s I got refurbed, have been great. A little glitchy at times. But I’ve not heard of a single robot that is never glitchy. Initial mapping took forever but the VSlam navigation and obstacle detection and avoidance have been awesome. I’m coming from an old WYZE LiDAR robot so the bar was low. There are tons of parts for the J series so I’m happy about longevity. Hopefully IRobot survives so the app servers stay on….

My old Roomba j7 sees and avoids cables every single time. 🤷🏻

Nope. I’m still rocking out two Roomba J7s I got refurbed. I know it’s popular to hate on iRobot, but they’ve worked well for me so far. Good navigation, good cleaning, lots of replacement parts. It’s even skipped a surprise pet mess. That was nice.

I have a roomba j7 and I have two dogs, it's great with dog hair

We have 4 cats and currently use a Roomba J7. It's programmed to vacuum once a day, and it does a good job of keeping the fur contained. We do have an upright vacuum that we also use, but the Roomba does a good job for us.

That is crazy. Even my Roomba j7 will periodically empty with no manual intervention.

I just bought the Roborock QX Revo from Costco. I’m moving my Roomba j7 to the basement. If the Roborock doesn’t work out I will just return it.

I have a 900 series and a j7. I don’t really have an issue with either one. They rarely get stuck and complete jobs regularly. However I recently bought a Roborock and it is definitely better. The app is much more advanced and lidar seems to be more efficient and accurate.

Do you really want to deal with mop water? When floors need mopping just get out a traditional mop and roller bucket. You don’t need a 2000 dollar vacuum. Most of the hardware is the same. Software quality is not. A roomba j7 will navigate around all chairs and do what you need a robot vacuum to do.

DO NOT BUY, RETURN THIS PIECE OF CRAP. I had a J7 that I bought for $700 (not on costco) less than 2 years ago, and it just stopped working about 2 months ago, needing a new "head cleaning unit" for around $90... that was out of stock. Roomba is a garbage company that puts no effort into developing smarter, better machines. I said F it and bought the RoboRock on Costco so I would have the consumer protection of costco if any problems. It is amazing, empties its own dust bin, and mops the floor for us.
