"Honestly, when I have it on schedule, it keeps the house clean and I don't see any hair at all"
"To me, the most important thing is cleaning all the dirt and leaves, and trash stuck on his fur from the outside on a daily basis... and the robots take care of that."
"The J7+ is in the rooms that my dogs spend most of their time in, and it has been doing a fabulous job!"

"Yesterday my wife left a six way charger on the floor with six USB cables coming out of it and I think that the robot just vacuumed it and carried on and there was no photo but apparently no problem either."
"It even has a camera to intelligently avoid obstacles it could get stuck on like cords, etc, therefore it extremely rarely gets stuck (unlike my previous non-Roomba brand)."
"It's very good at not getting stuck on shoe laces and cables"

"The self emptying bots are a game changer for the hair. The device itself gets so much less tangled up and grody when it can purge."
"One thing I love is the self-emptying feature. It saves so much time, especially when there’s a lot of hair to deal with."
"The self-empting feature is great, rarely had an issue with that."

"And *my favorite part* is that after the first week or so it’s physically incapable of doing a full run one the place without needing to be rescued from *something* (shadows, can’t find the doc, “stuck” in a room with the door wide open)."
"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"I just got a J7+ and I really don't see much of a difference. It's shocking how similar it is to my first one especially with the navigation. Needless to say I returned it."

"It ’s super loud ... Noise at least on hardwood is easily double the qrevo"
"It’s loud. ... We have a one story house so it will wake you up if you try to run it at night, and my kids are scared of it."
"I am also WFH and will have to pause my J7+ or send it to a different room if I am on a work call where I have to speak"

"half the time it isnt running because of a clog in the vaccuum bin or base station. ... The bin is usually easy to fix, but this last time it was the tube that goes to the bag (another expense i didnt have with the shark) and that required disassembly."

"pretty pathetic excuse for mopping"
"Robot vacuums can mop well , but Roomba just can ’t."
"The retractable mops on the latter look very fragile to me ... and I actually had to return my J7+ because that retractable mop wasn't working anymore"

"it takes several hours to run about 1250 sq ft, with a recharge."
"its... battery life was a nightmare."
