Roomba i7 Series

I’ve 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 don’t really ever seem to randomly phone home, so that’s nice.

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

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

I’m 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. It’s 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.
