iRobot Roomba j7 Wi-Fi Connected Robotic Floor Cleaner, Black, 1 Each

The Roomba has been a blessing for me due to my disability, vacuuming is difficult. The Roomba has solved that problem for me. It's mapping program is very detailed with three pets the effectiveness is phenomenal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was shocked at how well this worked! I have an extremely busy household... kids, multiple dogs, hectic schedules. My dog sheds ALOT. After one time using, I'm addicted. I love setting this up vacuum while I am gone. I love seeing how much dog hair, and crumbs it picks up. I was really blown away. I also love all the areas it is able to vacuum, such as under my stools in my kitchen! I absolutely love the Roomba!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this vacuum. It's quiet, efficient, and easy to use. We have a pretty busy household with multiple pets and it's very easy to schedule it to clean with our phone between the chaos. The room mapping is an excellent feature and makes it so much easier allowing me to send it to a particular room when it needs more attention. I've tried other brands of robot vacuums and this one by far is superior in every way. It has helped me gain more time not having to do a daily vacuum. I'm amazed at how much pet hair it cleans up and how well it does on our multiple surface types. I also love that it doesn't get stuck and is able to go around obstacles. The only cons that I've experienced is the size of the debris bin and that it doesn't like going over one of my bigger/thicker rugs. But, emptying the bin is pretty easy and it was able to map around my rug to clean around it. Overall, It's a great device and I would definitely purchase for what it is able to do and help with. I would recommend this to anyone with a busy household looking to save on cleaning time.

This is an update for us from a previous model. Mapping is nice and allows us to easily do just one room if we want. Downside: it still clings along the wall and digs ruts in the carpet...turn, bang, turn, bang as it just keeps bouncing off the wall, so disappointment there. The ruts are the worst part.

We picked up this iRobot Roomba because Sam's has the best prices in the world. The reviews pre-purchase were pretty solid. We did not get one with an automatic Dust Bin emptier because it doubles the unit cost and adds paper bags that you have to buy, throw away and replace $$. For all of its smarts, it does some wonky things like going into areas it's not supposed to after you've created Spaces/Rooms. That does seem to correct itself over time, if you stand in the way of the areas that is not supposed to go into until it 'learns'. Probably the biggest problem we have is that on some of our rugs it pulls up a large amount of fiber causing the unit to go back to its home base to be empty sometimes as many as three times in a 14x14 foot room. A thing that should be at the top of the list upon emptying the Dust Bin, is to take out the paper filter cartridge and clean it well by tapping it on the floor to shake loose dust and then using a brush or vacuum cleaner crevice tool to clean because if it gets clogged, rug fibers will completely clog the unit which will cause multiple returns to home base to be emptied. Once we figured that out, hardwood floors clean very well. Another thing you have to do is at least after cleaning one or two rooms remove the rollers because any long human hairs or dog hairs get wound around inside the roller ends and have to be picked out like little Curly Q's that you might see on a baby's neck. Cute, but they will affect the operation of the unit. It is amazing to see it dance its way around the legs of the chair to clean under it. The battery life is pretty good, but if you have it do more than 2-3 rooms in a row, it will go back to recharge which can take up to 1-1/2 hours (Think Electric Car). And, that's fine if you're not home and don't care. Also found that before cleaning room you need to walk around and pick up things because it will skip an area if there's a shoe or any object out of place. At the end of the cleaning it will Review with you what it saw that was out of place and allow you to determine whether it was a temporary obstacle or a permanent new item in the room. Customer service by email was basically a 24-hour reply. There really aren't many solutions to any of the problems that you have. They just give you an idea of what you need to wait for or try differently. I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating because it requires me to do more work than I would like to have to do. Truthfully, I think that the portable Dyson that we have would do about the same job in about 1/10 a time, but then that's more work for me. We will continue to play with this, but I doubt I would buy another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an older version of the Roomba. The j7 is definitely a welcomed upgrade. The robot travels in an organized way and a camera detects features and obstacles in your home. The technology in this robot is an upgrade from the older version. I have two dogs. One dog has white fur and sheds continuously. As seen in my attached video, my dog likes to sleep under our table. His fur is everywhere! As the Roomba drove through my dog's mess, you will notice that it picked up all of the fur with one swipe. How wonderful for pet owners! I also noticed that this vacuum drove over thresholds between rooms without issues. The older version would sometimes get stuck on these thresholds, but not the j7! It easily glided across floors. I appreciate that I can let this vacuum go and trust that it can finish the job without my intervention. The noise of the vacuum could be improved, however. It is a bit noisy. The motor of the vacuum and the travel noise can be heard across the house. Overall, I would recommend this vacuum. I would also recommend it to friends and family. The set up was extremely easy and straight forward. The app is visually appealing and understandable. As a mom and a fur mom, I am happy to use products that are time saving and effective. This roomba is just that! I am happy to continue to explore the features of this vacuum and share my thoughts with others.

Bought this for a Christmas gift on Black Friday. When my mom opened it it on Christmas Day it wasn't the one she wanted. Went online to start the return it said I have until January 31st to return to Walmart. I go to Walmart they said because it's packaged with a battery they can't take it I have to contact seller. I contact seller they said I'm out of their 30day return policy. 1st off who doesn't extend their return policy through the holidays. I would have never bought it from them knowing that it could cause an issue to return. 2nd Walmart should not advertise the return date for January 31st. So now I have an iRobot unopened sitting in my possession that I don't need that they can resell easily.

This is not worth the extra money you pay for it. Not only did it run over dog poop once it done it twice and drug it through the house. I will say I did call them and they are sending me a new one but save your money and buy a different roomba.

Hardware failure after the 4th run. I thought support helped me fix the problem… but immediately happened again. I emailed them… and haven't heard back. My first iRobot has beeen awesome. (960)

I wrote a big review, but it was not accepted by the web site. here I will send pictures of what this did to my oriental hand made carpets with it's rubber rollers. I called and asked if they carry replacement rollers that are not rubber, just like brush , like all other carpet. but they said no. so please do not buy or use for carpet
