Great on hardwood floors, but got stuck on my carpet, every time. Wanted it to work so much as we have a furry pup! But we also have carpets and robot vacuums are just not there yet. It would get through about 2-3 times, then stop.

I bought this item a month ago and have had several problems with it. It worked great for about 5 days but then it started dying mid clean and not going back to its dock to charge. It will kick on 3-4 times a day even if it’s only scheduled for certain days and times. Plus the box was pretty damaged when it arrived. Not happy.

Although I really wanted it to work out, this little robot did not have what it took to clean up after my dog who sheds. It left a trail of wadded up dog hair in its wake as it traveled around the house. What’s the point of a vacuum that you need to clean up after? Especially when it costs $850? Apparently this is a common issue with the Roomba i7, enough so that this syndrome has a name - Roombarf! We tried cleaning it out, pre-vacuuming, etc, all to no avail. The posted pics are after my son had vacuumed the floor before running the Roomba.
Anyway, I was happy that Best Buy accommodated the return so well.
If you have a Shedding Dog, don’t buy this.

The vacuum is ok. Love the automatic dirt disposal. But a waste if you use the mapping feature. Your better off buying a cheaper model that does the same thing. My wife has been in contact with customer support for over 2 weeks and the issue with the maps and docking issues still hasn't been resolved. Worst model. Just get a basic model Roomba for your needs. Not worth the price for features that are faulty.

The worst experience of my life

Irobot is no longer responding to me and my 2nd defective unit. These “self cleaning” rubber brushes DO NOT WORK ON CARPET. I decided to ignore the countless other reviews and still purchased the i7+ because my 690 has NEVER had an issue since originally purchasing in 2017. Irobot has had me change components, and even replaced the unit, but its apparent that the flaw is in its actual design - DO NOT BUY THIS IF YOU HAVE CARPET. It doesnt matter how much you run it, it does not improve. Irobot is now waiting for my warranty expire so they are no longer have to support me.

What a waste of money. Programmed to run 4 times a week, gets stuck getting back on it's base at least 2 times a week. (photo attached) I've tried the suggested remedies, still screws up at least 50% of the time. I run it while I'm at work so when I get home it is dead and the entire job did not get run. This was an expensive piece of junk, sorry I bought it!

We have had this IRobot Vacuum for three months. It was easy to set up. It accurately mapped the first floor of my home (around 1500 square feet) and does a good job cleaning. I like that I can specify which room or rooms that I want to have vacuumed. Also, if the battery gets low before finishing the assigned job it will go back to the base empty the bin and, once recharged, it will automatically go back and finish the requested rooms still to be vacuumed. I would recommend this vaccuum highly for someone looking for a user friendly robot vacuum that requires little oversight as it performs its cleaning.

I bought this model because my s9 had a problem with the drive wheels and Best Buy refunded me for it. I think this model is even better. Besides the fact that it doesn't have a drive problem, it maps better, cleans better, and is not as loud. I wish it had a biy more suction for high pile, but hey, not bad at all.

This is a really good, amazing a, and time saver product, very easy to set up, awesome deal and on point for the use. The vacuum is not very noise when cleaning and it really does a goooodd cleaning cycle, only noisy when emptying the dirt to the bag.
I suggest to get some part as a back up since the model is already retired, other than than a really good choice for cleaning your house a save time.

Effortless Cleaning with the Roomba i7+ (7550) -

After several weeks of using the Roomba i7+ (7550) Wi-Fi Connected Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum in Charcoal, I am genuinely impressed by its performance and convenience. This little device has revolutionized the way I approach household cleaning.
First and foremost, the self-emptying feature of the Roomba i7+ is a game-changer. The vacuum automatically docks and empties its bin into the Clean Base, which is a huge time-saver and adds an element of 'set and forget' to the vacuuming process. This feature alone makes the i7+ stand out from other robot vacuums I've used.
The suction power and cleaning efficiency are top-notch. It picks up an impressive amount of dirt, dust, and pet hair, leaving my floors spotless. The multi-surface brushes adapt seamlessly to different floor types, from hardwood to carpets, without any manual intervention.
Wi-Fi connectivity and integration with home assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant add to the convenience. I can start, stop, or schedule cleaning sessions with voice commands or through the app, which is user-friendly and intuitive. The ability to map and save multiple floor plans is particularly useful for multi-level homes.
Another feature that I appreciate is the i7+'s navigation system. It moves around the house intelligently, avoiding obstacles and efficiently covering the floor area. The 'Keep Out Zones' feature is helpful in preventing the vacuum from going into areas where it's not needed.
The design is sleek and the charcoal color looks great. It's compact enough to fit under most furniture, ensuring a thorough clean.
On the downside, the initial setup and mapping can take some time, and the Roomba may require a few runs to efficiently navigate your space. Additionally, the Clean Base, where the dirt is deposited, needs to be emptied occasionally, but this is still far less frequent than emptying the vacuum after every run.
In conclusion, the Roomba i7+ (7550) is a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to reduce the time and effort spent on vacuuming. Its self-emptying feature, powerful cleaning performance, and intelligent navigation make it one of the best robot vacuums on the market. While it comes with a higher price tag, the convenience and time saved make it a valuable addition to any modern home.

Keeps stopping and poor pick up

First use was normal. But since that it’s stops about every second swipe of my brand new carpet. I have to turn it over and clean debri cleaning or free the brushes. Does not pick up much of anything. I just had back surgery and got this so I would not have to bend over or strain my back. I just had to buy a regular vacuum. Don’t buy this.

Works but frequently runs out of power and can’t get back to charging station. Also frequently does not set correctly on charger and does not charge. It does clean lots of dog hair and goes over shag carpet as well as floors. Needs to be cleaned nearly every week and filters and brushes need to be replaced frequently. Seems to go over the same areas over and over.

I absolutely love this vacuum! It has mapped my entire house (2100 sq. ft) and is pretty darn accurate. The self emptying feature is the absolute best. It easily adjusts levels from carpeting and hardwood flooring. It recharges itself and gets right back to work. I have the most shesding cat and dog in the world. Zoomba handles their fur like a champ. If you are still trying to decide whether to splurge for one, don’t hesitate. This is a no brainer.

Almost perfect

Picks up almost everything, being able to schedule cleaning has been a life changer. I have 2 cats, both shed a lot and like to leave food and litter on the floor. I am barefoot most of the time and even a grain of dirt on my feet will drive me nuts. I would give this 5 stars, but I feel like the filter could be better. It is always plugged, even after maybe 2 cleanings and I have to take it out, knock the dust and hair out of it, hit it with my other vacuum cleaner as well then reinstall. It leaves dirt and debris in the dust bin after self emptying and has never been fully self emptied. Doesn't honestly seem to affect it's function, but I don't live in a dirty home and have very little foot traffic. 5 stars if I didn't have to remove it frequently to clean it out. Should really be 4.75 stars but that is not an option! One of the best buys I've ever made.

Perfect for a variety of flooring: tile, laminate, and slightly thicker carpet. Despite it being a little on the noisy side my family still gives it a 5 because of clean up and ease of use. Reduces the amount of time needed to sweep and vacuum. Great for people with back issues too.
