Roomba i7 Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum Cleaner (7150)

iRobot Roomba i7arrived in perfect condition and was very well packaged my wife has had it for about three weeks now and she absolutely loves it. programming is fairly easy and the included instructions are fairly easy to follow. this Roomba has many features like easy dirt disposal and when the battery is low it goes back to its station for a recharge, the smart mapping feature lets you decide which space to clean and when and where to stay out, with the vSLAM navigation the Roomba learns the layout of your home and creates smart maps to navigate its self around our house. My favorite feature is the "Cleaning of the Crumbs" Simply say to Alexa "Roomba clean under the table" this i7 robot is very well built and is a great product and we highly recommend it.

My i7+ runs every day each morning. I have it scheduled to clean the Living Room, Kitchen, then Bedroom, in that order. It comes on in the morning and is my alarm. By the time it hits the Bedroom, I'm up. Total Cleaning time is 43-45 minutes. I've previously owned 2 of the Original Roomba's, and the Samsung Powerbot1040. This i7+ is SO much easier to use. Just set the schedule and forget it for two weeks! Every two weeks, I clean the rollers, casters, wheels, dirt bin, and filter. After one month I empty the Bag in the Auto Dirt Bin, and every 2nd month, I replace it. I have a German Shepherd that sheds about a Squirrel each day, and this keeps my floors spotless! I LOVE getting up in the morning barefoot and not having Dog Hair stuck to the bottoms of my feet anymore. It's a Life Saver! And the Dirt Bin bag holds a TREMENDOUS amount of Dog Hair. Seriously! It will clog my standard vacuum in one cleaning, and this i7+ holds about a months worth. It packs it in Super Tight! My first i7 did have an issue where it would not run the schedule some mornings. I contacted iRobot, and they promptly sent out a brand new vacuum. Not a refurbished, but a Brand New vacuum. They paid for shipping both ways. PS: After this latest Firmware Update, 3.10.7, the effectiveness has been greatly increased. It now gets all tiny hidden areas, and also cleans closer to the Automatic Dirt Bin, 6 inches instead of 2 feet. The latest App update is strange to get used to, but I'm thinking I will like it more the more I use it.

I have three small kids and a dog. There is constant stuff on the floor. I run this vacuum about every day during nap time. It has saved me so much time to only clean stairs and clean when we need a deep clean about once a month. It was never convenient for me to vacuum unless I did it on my time when everyone was out. Now it gets done while I work.

The Brushes from i series dont last

Game changer for anyone but especially a mom with young kids! Final broke down and bought this after so many co-workers recommended and raved about how much they love it. After getting it up and running I have to say I am a huge fan too. The hardest part of set up was picking a name that the whole family could agree on. My kids constantly leave crumbs around the house and we always track in leaves and dirt around the front door. I am sure this is a sign that I have OCD but seeing the floor clean and the fresh vacuum lines does something wonderful for my soul. The only annoying thing is how often I have to empty the dustbin. I originally scheduled “Watson” to clean my house over two days (roughly 4 rooms per day) but I found I had to split it up to two rooms per cycle so it doesn’t stop due to bin being full. I’ve only had for a month and “Watson” has saved me 23 hours.

The smart map function is very handy to customize where and when the vacuum cleans each part of the house. Highly recommend for anyone with lightly used rooms (ie. kids away for college). Also really nice to be able to see on the app where the vacuum has been during the cleaning cycle, to make sure the planned area got cleaned, since any robot vacuum can get interrupted/stuck and often you are never sure "how far they got" without this map. Performance is very good and the vacuum navigates well. I would give this vacuum 5 stars if the dirt bin were larger. I'm comparing it to my previous Neato Botvac Connected, which had about 50% more capacity and less sensitive bin sensors. Not a big deal, but seems more times than not I need to empty the dirt bin midway through cleaning a 2600 sq. foot downstairs that it vacuums 3-4 times weekly. Plan on emptying the bin at least once during and after each cleaning, if you have multiple pets and kids running around. The optional automatic bin cleaner docking station may be worth the money if you have plenty of traffic in the house. You can also opt to keep the vacuum working while the bin is registering as full, but all depends on how much that sacrifices performance, which I haven't tested. Often a "full" bin is not completely jammed full, but more the space is loosely filled with pet hair, etc., so may be able to vacuum much more on "full". I have been using this vacuum for a couple of months now, and assuming it does not degrade too much over time I think the Roomba I7 is a good value for the performance and additional features gained with the premium price.

Does a great job picking up dirt longer dog hair does roll up sometimes and rolls on the floor without getting picked up. Battery is decent goes for about an hour than has to recharge itself. Mapping worked at first but when I moved it to another room where it could not get too it started to remap and has not completed in Weeks. Pretty good product just needs some me fine tuning. Thanks John

It's amazing how good it cleans for the size of the vacuum and how it remembers the floor plan of the house.

Received as a Christmas Gift Dec. 2018 and have been using it daily but still need to go over it with an upright vacuum because all it does is spread the fur around the house in clumps. I clean the bin and robot daily and still no improvement. Worthless on carpet however great on low rise doormats and bare floors. Not what we got it for though, carpet and pet hair.

The Roomba® i7 7150 Wi-Fi® Connected Robot Vacuum is the best home appliance that I have ever received. It easily connects to my phone. I can set my Irobot via bluetooth, to clean specific rooms any time of the day! I have never experienced such a cool device. Cleaning my floors is so easy , with the irobot my floors stay clean all day long. Sweeping and vacuuming are such extremely time consuming chores. My household duties are cut in half now. I am so grateful for receiving my irobot up review. I love everything about it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
