Customers are disappointed with the robotic vacuum cleaner's adhesion, value, and battery life.

Opinions are mixed on quality, ease of use, and mapping.
AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the quality of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it does the job OK, while others say that it doesn't do a good enough job. The vacuum mode works great, and the innovative device seamlessly combines vacuuming and mopping, ensuring your floors are impeccably clean. However, some customers say that the mopping feature is so bad that they'd get better results if they did it themselves. They also mention that the rollers and the dust bin need to be cleaned fairly regularly.

However, others say that they don't have access to the mapping and stay-out zones, and that the software updates helped with mapping a little. They also mention that it doesn't show where the vacuum is in real-time, and the app is next to useless as far as actual features and functionality.

Customers are dissatisfied with the adhesion of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it does not pick up anything, it is unresponsive, and it keeps returning home and doing nothing. They also say that it acts erratically and dies slowly.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Do you need the self-emptying feature, the "+"? It's such a good feature that it was tempting. However, I was upgrading from a 600 series and wary of spending the high premium for the self-emptying feature when I was finding a good discount on the J7 by itself. What I have found so far is the J7 can easily clean the three large rooms I use it for, clean them fully three times before I get a message the dust bin needs to be emptied. Roomba customer service explained you can expect 800 sq ft of cleaning before you have to empty the bin. This varies probably and that's square feet as measured by the Roomba's cleaning pattern which won't include some of your furniture and fixtures so the cleaned footage measured will be lower than your actual room square footage as measured for the property.
Also I wanted to put the Roomba's dock in a spot against my wall where I didn't want the taller self-cleaning box to stick up above the dock. It's a well designed box and not as tall as the i4 model's version, so that shouldn't stop you if you have a spot for it. Worth noting: you need to locate the dock against a well where you have at least 18" or so of space on both sides, and four feet if room in front of the Roomba. That's for navigation.
The J7 dust bin is so easy to remove, empty, and replace, that it's just not an issue for me--certainly don't regret not having the self-emptier at this point. The dust bin parts are designed well: a button on the side pops the bin out the side of the machine; another button opens the bin so you can dump it once you have it over the trash. The filter comes out easily too so it can be tapped on the trash bin to clear it. Customer service tells me the dust bin can be washed in warm water and soap too, so you can get it quite clean if you want. They said not to get the filter wet though. One thing to consider is that the Roomba sides can get dusty too from cleaning, even the top can get a bit dusty because it cleans under couches so well and under cabinets, when there's room for it. That means that I've been wiping down the J7 after a full clean of all three rooms. Maybe this won't continue--my rooms were neglected for a while so my J7 may be cleaning more dust this first week than it will clean in the future. In the two rooms it's cleans several times now, it doesn't' get dusty.
Even if the outside of the Roomba stays clean, however, the dust bin itself will be be a bit dusty when you remove it. So if handling the bin while you empty it bothers you, then the "+" self-emptying feature is for you. If you have the "+" feature, the dust from weeks of cleanings empties into a collection bag you eventually pull, discard, and replace with a new bag.
Mapping: One of my rooms is two steps down from other two. The mapping is so clever I just lift the Roomba down to the lower level and say "Siri, tell [J7] to clean the [room]". The J7 figures out where it is in the room and cleans it fully. When it tells me it's finished, I put it back on the higher level and say "Siri, tell [J7] to go home" and it heads for its dock to charge.
Customer service: easy and quick to ask questions.
Bottom line: It gets our hardwood clean enough and only very, very rarely gets stuck.
This is our first iRobot after 3 generations of Neato's (Most recently the D7 connected). The cleaning performance of the j7 is FAR inferior to the Neato. Even running the J7 twice, the hard wood floor with lots of chairs and stools is not as clean. However, the J7 is ultimately still an upgrade because we don't have to pick up before running. the robot successfully cleans around socks, shoes, toys and 5 kids worth of debris. We have had it 6 weeks, running it most days, and it has only gotten it's brush stuck once, and been stuck on an obstacle maybe twice-- something that happened with the NEATOs frequently despite precleaning. Other positives: Quiet, easy to schedule, easy to empty bin. Negatives: Seems to transport a bunch of debris to its base and not clean around the base well. Only cleans about 80% as well as our NEATO on hard wood. If the robot gets bumped off the base you have to go into the app to get the robot to charge again. Frequently, the robot won't start a cycle for mysterious reasons-- the robot will say "see the app" and the app will have no information.
Some suggestions for the manufacturer. Add a front spinner brush to both sides or else have the robot go around the edge of the room counter clockwise so that the spinner brush consistently cleans edges. (The edges of the room are clean wherever the robot's right side hits them and not clean where it doesn't. Increase suction power. On hard wood, the spinner is too powerful for hard debris (cheerios) and throws the debris across in front of the robot rather than into the main brush. Make the obstacle "review" feature-- to my mind this robots killer feature-- more front and center in the app so the robots can get smarter together faster.
Update: Robot now goes around the room edge counterclockwise, cleaning still not as good as Neato, but good enough
Other than that, it works VERY well and does a great job. It still does a lot of stupid AI movements, but it is much better than 5-10 years ago. iRobot makes very slow advancements in robot technology, but this j series is getting close to being where they should have been a decade ago.
Complaints are minor:
1. They advertise it is good for pet hair. it is much better than the older 800 series but still rolls the hair sometimes and leaves it behind for a human to pick up.
2. The mapping is much better but it is still not quite there. It does a lot of things right and is really amazing, but then it will not get under a table because it sees a cord hanging that is not touching the ground, but still in the way. I like it that it prefers to stay away rather than suck up a cord, but it should get better at determining that a cord is high enough to not get pulled.
3. You can send it out for a small job and it picks up the few crumbs that were there but when it returns, it dumps the crumbs into the docking station vacuum. This is so loud and not necessary. It really should only dump the bin if it is full or partially full. Not ignorantly on any return to base.
It really is a great product, but with so many years behind them, they really shoudl be doing much better. Competitors are leaping ahead and I would consider a competitor if I already wasn't deep into Roombas.
