From the manufacturer
Built to get the cleaning done your way
It doesn’t just learn your home; it reacts to it in real time.
With PrecisionVision Navigation, Roomba j7 identifies and avoids obstacles like pet waste and charging cords to get the whole job done. It even sends you photos of the hazards it encounters so you’re aware of them in your home.
Finally.
A robot vacuum you can rely on to get the job done
The Roomba j7 robot vacuum empties on its own, packs 10x the power-lifting suction*, and comes with unique intelligence to avoid cords and pet waste. It even understands times when you’re home and seasons when more cleaning may be needed. *Compared to the Roomba 600 series cleaning system.
Forget about vacuuming for months
Automatic Dirt Disposal
Dirt and dust stay gone because Roomba j7+ empties into the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal with an enclosed bag that catches particles as small as .7 microns. That means no mess or cloud of dust when you empty it. Just drop the used bag into the trash and put a new one in the base—clean and simple.
Recognizes just how unique your cleaning needs are
Cleaning that anticipates your needs
For exceptional cleaning that feels like a cleaning service, the Roomba j7+ robot vacuum learns exactly where and when you clean most and suggests extra cleanings for life’s messiest moments. It can even suggest an extra clean when your area’s pollen count is high or during pet shedding season.
Identifies obstacles
PrecisionVision Navigation, Roomba identifies and avoids obstacles like pet waste and charging cords to get the whole job done.
Empties on its own
Roomba empties into the Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal with an enclosed bag. That means no mess or cloud of dust when you empty it.
Vacuums messes in the moment
Simply use the iRobot Home App or your voice assistant to tell Roomba to immediately clean that spot and consider it done.
10x Power Lifting Suction*
10x the Power-Lifting Suction & Dual Multi-Surface Rubber Brushes that pull in dirt, debris, & pet hair from wherever it hides.
Smart Recharge & Resume
Smart Recharge and Resume allows your robot to intelligently recharge for the amount of time needed to continue cleaning and get the job done.
Powered by iRobot OS
iRobot OS raises the bar - delivering an intuitive cleaning experience tailored to your needs and preferences.
Clean when you're away
Uses geolocation services on your phone to understand when you’re out of the house and get the cleaning done while you're away.
Goes where it's needed
Reactive Sensor Technology tells j7 where it cannot pass, which means less getting stuck. Dirt Detect focuses on the dirtier spots of your home.

Roomba does not have LIDAR navigation. I do have another robot that is LIDAR so I can give a rough pros and cons of the two type of navigation system.
Roomba relies more on bumping into things and it's map to navigate. There's good and bad. The bad is that it will often go around the house as if it's a drunk bumping into furniture and objects. The robot needs to learn your floorplan and that can take a long time since it's bumping into everything. It took me about 5 runs of my whole house. Each run took about 3 -4 hours since my house is 2500 sq ft. Prior to it learning my house, it's navigation looked like it was non existent. I thought I had just bought the dumbest robot especially compared to my inexpensive $300 LIDAR robot. However, once the robot declared that it had learned my floorplan everything changed and I began to see the benefits of the iRobot navigation system.
Even after learning my floorplan, the iRobot still takes forever navigating around table and chair legs. Bumping and taking multiple attempts to escape the forest of chair legs, but surprisingly, it has never gotten stuck in my house. I have set it to vacuum my entire house several times and in total it has vacuumed about 20,000 sq ft in it's lifetime so far and it has never gotten stuck. We have kids so there's a lot of toys and miscellaneous items everywhere so that's amazing to me.
My LIDAR robot on the other hand navigates beautifully around furniture but it can't see cords or other lower to the ground objects and it constantly gets stuck on these objects. Also because LIDAR isn't bumping into things to navigate it gets stuck under my couch because the fabric under my couch sags and the LIDAR robot will travel underneath the couch but then think it's blocked in by the fabric when it tries to leave the couch area. The iRobot doesn't have this problems because whenever it's in doubt it just goes barreling through and utilizes the bump sensor to feel around.
The other problem with my $300 LIDAR unit was that it would sometimes do a cleaning run but mistakenly think that there is a new floorplan and erase the old one. It's more sensitive to changes because it's LIDAR hardware can detect small changes. This is probably more a software issue. The iRobot on the other hand, is very hesitant to change it's map. That is good in that it has never erased my current floorplan or made incorrect modifications, however, the initial "learning of the floorplan" is a bit harder if it doesn't discover all your rooms. Getting it to discover new rooms is more difficult since the floor plan is locked in. I've found the best way to get it to discover new rooms after it has "learned the floorplan" is to do an area clean and just draw a box where to new room should be. Once I did that, it would explore that area and declare it found a new space and then it was added to the floorplan.
A few other more minor issues is that the Roomba software is polished but also very limited on options as compared to my inexpensive LIDAR unit. For example, I can't set how often the Roomba should self empty or the quiet times (they removed the beta feature for quiet times). These are important features since the self empty dock is very loud. Much louder then my LIDAR robots self empty dock. I'm not that sensitive to noise. The noise level is just a design flaw. I can't imagine going forward they will keep this design. If you live in a small apartment then you should definitely be aware that you will be disturbing your neighbors or yourself when it self empties. It's louder than my large shop vac.

UPDATE #2: It has now been several more months. I love it I love it I love it. One major issue for me was that it was a pain in the butt to carry the base around in a multilevel home. After rereading the instruction manual I discovered that I’m not supposed to do that, that you can just carry the machine around and place it. As long as it does not have to empty the bin or recharge, it does not necessarily have to begin and end on the charging base. Ok so this has made my life so much easier. I did have to update my maps several times to teach it not to expect the base when it was done, and it has since behaved perfectly well. (The first few times it wandered around for a long time and the program said “searching for base” and I felt sorry for it 🤣. I didn’t want to delete my map that had the base on it and start over because I had to teach it to stay off of a shaggy rug and that took a lot of tweaking). I also have stopped being stingy with use and have given in and am carrying it around and running it more often and sometimes going over areas twice to get all the cat litter, and my house stays so clean. That means I will have to change the filters and rollers more often but oh well!
UPDATE: It has now been another month or so. I like the machine more and more and am changing the review to 5 stars. I have continued to tweak the programs I have set up on the app, and its performance improves. Since we have a cat, a major issue is the cat litter which she manages to drag all over. The machine sometimes will miss some litter in certain areas, and since we have dark floors it shows up brightly and drives me nuts. I can tell the robot to go over certain areas twice and that solves that problem. (Honestly the cleaners we hired would sometimes miss just as much if not more because the tiny specks get ground into the carpet). Another thing is that on our smooth wooden floors, the edge sweeping brush sometimes seems to scatter small particles around rather than pushing them into the rollers, and I have to have it go twice in places for that reason too. But with these tweaks it has been doing a really good job!! The suction is very good and the machine is surprisingly quiet. Also I am getting used to it and learning to leave it alone and not follow it around, so I’m much more relaxed about it. Another good thing—in the app the machine will tell you when it needs maintenance. There is a countdown to when I will need to change the filter and rollers, and I see that I will not need to change them nearly as often as I thought! The manual says filter every 2 month and rollers every 6 months, but according to my runtime it is going to be about double that, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice 😉.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I do like this little machine. I hate and I mean HATE vacuuming and my husband has a bad neck and can’t vacuum. We had hired a cleaning service but it made the cat go crazy and just became much more stressful than it was worth. So we decided to get this realizing it would pay for itself (in the absence of the cleaning service) after a few months.
You need to pick up all your things and allow it to make mapping runs when you first get started. The interface is an app on the iPad and it is very straightforward to operate, and you can make detailed programs and constantly tweak them based on the machine’s performance. The suction power and ability to pick stuff up—including cat hair and cat litter—is excellent. It is not very loud. The cat is not bothered by it, and EVERYTHING bothers her, so I am kind of amazed by that. I love that it goes back to its base and empties itself when its little bin is full.
I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple reasons. It is godawful expensive. I have learned that the replacement rollers and filters are kind of expensive and have to be changed very regularly. Also—and I admit a lot of this is my issue due to OCD—so far I feel like I have to babysit it and be aware of where it is and what it’s doing, which defeats some of the purpose of getting the machine to do the work in the first place. I am hoping this will improve in time since I have tweaked some of the programs and the machine is learning, and I just need to get used to it. Some of this is due to the fact that I have a multilevel home and have to carry the base around and then tell it to go, rather than just setting programs and ignoring it, which can’t be helped. It would be much better in a single level.
All in all it’s really good, and has the potential to be great, but time will tell. We will see if the rollers and filters have to be changed as often as it says. Probably the filters do, because of my cat, but maybe the rollers can last a little longer.

Within 3 weeks of purchase, started to have problems. Robot would suddenly decide to stop during a cleaning run, state it was blocked (nothing there) and die on the spot. Lots of reboots and resets for weeks. Robot refused to work.
Along the way, the robot would not clean stating the bin was full. It was empty. Discovered via Google search (since iRobot doesn’t provide real answers) that the problem had to do with the bin sides not being clean which did not allow the full bin sensors (long black bars on the robot along the bin’s location) to transmit a beam. If the beam did not make it through from one side to the other, regardless of the bin’s actual empty/full status, the robot would assume (incorrectly) the bin was full.
The bin needed to be cleaned often if it had accumulated lite amounts of dust on the side. If not, the errors took place. Didn’t matter if the continue to clean if bin is full option was selected. Robot would ignore the selection and just not move. This is a very poor engineering and software design. Other manufactures, according to others and manufacturers don’t use the same design as iRobot due to such false errors taking place.
Getting service folks to provide service and solutions is a goat rope indeed. Have to jump through hoops in order to get attention and then, have to start all over again because service folks just follow a script and don’t listen/pay attention to the problems taking place in the real world.
After 5 months of trying to get the robot to work properly, having 3 replacement robots and 3 replacement clean bases, it appeared the 2 finally were communicating with each other and worked. Nah, just an iRobot mean joke. Within a week of the 3rd round of replacements, the clean bin issue came up. No matter how many times the bin was cleaned, no matter how many reboots, and changing bins, the robot refused to work.
Too late to return to Amazon and iRobot will not refund money due to having purchased the robot system via Amazon and not directly from iRobot. The iRobot punishment for purchasing via Amazon? No refund and just provide (maybe) another (4th) dumb robot and clean base.
Had enough of the robot and iRobot. Got so frustrated I provided the robot and the clean base a new home where the two can live together in peace and not mess up ever again. The home – the landfill.
No more iRobot robots. As time has gone by, have gone through several models. Progressively they have gotten more technologically “advanced” but not smarter. They run into things more often, forget where they are, forget where the base is and are not consistently reliable. The engineers don’t have regular people test the robots before they are sold. Theory and reality don’t mix at the robot factory.
They sure have gotten more expensive. Have noticed they go on sale often; guess iRobot can’t sell them due to problems along with competition getting more sales.
Awaiting my new Roborock. Has lidar (iRobot doesn’t believe in it thus need to have lights on for the robots to find their way) which allows the robot to work without lights. I had to buy lamps and timers so the Roomba could work. An added expense. iRobot never disclosed prior to the sale light is a requirement for the robots to work. The light near the camera does not provide enough light for the Roomba to work properly. Even with lights, the Roombas get lost or don’t work properly.
I hope the Roborock works. While all the robot brands have problems (ratings are about 4.3-4.5), crossing fingers this one excels over the Roomba.
Thus, after over a decade of using only Roombas, we have parted ways permanently and do not recommend to anyone that wants value for their hard-earned money when purchasing a floor robot. I’m sure the Roomba and its base now have plenty of dirt covering them from the hot sun in the landfill – where they belong.
UPDATE: 8/25/2023
The second J7+ began failing more often a few days after the first J7+. Gets lost, stops all of a sudden and dies. Sometimes it said it is stuck, it's not, sometimes is said out of power, yet about 2-3 feet from clean base and sometimes just stops, ends job without a reason.
Have had to replace the battery (robot about 2 months old). It sometimes forgets to clean per the clean map guidance.
Speaking of clean maps, it has lost the maps several times which forces me to remap the entire floor. It, like its twin, no longer provide a means to add favorites to the routine. iRobot technical support have no idea how to get the feature back even with all of their "research". What I have been able to determine is that this same issue has occurred and is occurring to others.
iRobot is busy lowering machine prices but not as busy fixing existing problems.
The Roborock we purchased to replace the J7+ has been great. Not only does it vacuum very well, it mops too. All in one machine. The machine is quieter, doesn't have problems and gets the job done in about 40% less time (the robot uses more intelligent algorithms to move to clean). I no longer have to go around turning on lights to help the (Roomba) robot find its way. The Roborock uses lidar which does not require lights and is much more efficient and effective in its journey.
We should have tried out the Roborock instead of the falling apart and unreliable Roomba. Would highly recommend to those who want to spend their money wisely to try the Roborock with the features they need and not look at the Roomba. The Roomba was a pioneer back in the day of robot cleaning but those years (ag0) have long past. All of the competition proves the Roomba is no longer as good as it used to be. Now, just lots of marketing/advertising to make the it sound and look good but from the real world of a purchaser, that's not the case. Save your money and frustrations, look elsewhere other than iRobot.

Day 2 of owning this. I do love it. It mapped my space well. Ease of use. It does transition from rug to hard floor well and picked up all the hair from my crazy shedding Ripley the corgi. But main part that failed was any bump in transition (you can see in the picture ). It doesn’t get the transition pieces on my hard floors. It can get over them. But leaves behind some debris. I will say my floors are so much cleaner. I would recommend to vacuum yourself through and through before mapping. I really tested this thing. Once it’s “hard core “ clean. It does a good job. I’ll add to review after a month. But my Star Wars rug never has looked better after day 1.

Context of this review:
First time buyer of any model of IRobot Roomba vacuum.
Purchased the J7+ that includes the robot and the waste station.
I do like it. It is not perfect but after a couple of days of use, I am impressed.
There is a learning period for both myself and the robot.
1) First off, after unboxing, put the station in and put the robot into position to charge for a few hours. While charging download the app to your phone and connect. Read the user manual about how the ring light on the robot works. It is context based - charging, vacuuming, etc. - and means different things based on the context.
2)The light on the waste station is peculiar and does not stay on when plugged in and charging.
Nor does the light on the robot stay on when charging. There is a momentary initial light on each.
3) I should have read up on from their support website about Smartmaps first. After a full charge, I let the robot run through the first floor of my home. On the initial pass, It was able to do about 2.5 rooms before it needed to be recharged. While recharging, I mistakenly cancelled the initial full floor job. It worked out OK after the second full floor job - completing the first map and a new second map at the same time. Be prepared to walk around with your robot to train it where not to go. I was able to use the pause button on the phone and the top button on the robot. However, it may be better to hit the sense bars on the robot to initially avoid areas while you create the first couple maps. Subsequently, I plan to mark out the no-go zones.
4) Apparently, the position of the charge station is very important. You may want to plan this out in advance even before buying. The station needs to be near an outlet and have a clearance on each side of 1.5 feet, more distance is required if near a stairway. I am not sure how this effects your first maps if you move your station to another location on the same floor. iRobot advises getting a second waste station if you move your robot between two floors - one station for each floor. Clearly, the station position is important for the robot to know.
5) Preparation of your home for the robot can be important before using it. Pet food bowls, electrical cords, and floor mats are some of the things to consider. I found the robot had problems with a raised fireplace hearth. It was low enough to try to go on top of it but had trouble negotiating while trying to vaccuum along the edge. The fire place hearth is one area I plan on giving a no-go zone to, as well as the pet food bowls. Because preparation is needed, I am not sure how useful scheduling is going to be, unless you have a sparse home with no pets and little moveable furniture.
6) Maintenance - While on the first job ever, the vaccuum managed to wrap a cat play string around the rotating brush. I had to stop the robot and unwrap the string. (note to self - pick up all string) There was also cat hair around the rotating brush in the in joints of roller shafts that also needed clearing. I can see how maintenance is going to be a recurring thing with the robot, when you usually ignore your upright vaccums, but for emptying its bag and cleaning filters. Maintenance costs are going to be more than your upright vacuum, which you may want to consider with the upfront purchase costs.
7) Cleaner home? With hair shedding pets, I can see how one's home may remain cleaner if you regularly run the robot. The robot can also run under some things (some couches, some cabinets) where you cannot vacuum with an upright. However, there are likely to still be some areas/rooms where you don't want to run the vacuum robot - areas near food bowls, cat litter boxes, and bathrooms.
8) With a camera on the front of the robot, I think there is much that the irobot can do in programming it to clean better and navigate better.
9) I have much to learn about using the robot due to my inexperience. However, I think I can make this work to keep my home cleaner.
First time buyer of any model of IRobot Roomba vacuum.
Purchased the J7+ that includes the robot and the waste station.
I do like it. It is not perfect but after a couple of days of use, I am impressed.
There is a learning period for both myself and the robot.
1) First off, after unboxing, put the station in and put the robot into position to charge for a few hours. While charging download the app to your phone and connect. Read the user manual about how the ring light on the robot works. It is context based - charging, vacuuming, etc. - and means different things based on the context.
2)The light on the waste station is peculiar and does not stay on when plugged in and charging.
Nor does the light on the robot stay on when charging. There is a momentary initial light on each.
3) I should have read up on from their support website about Smartmaps first. After a full charge, I let the robot run through the first floor of my home. On the initial pass, It was able to do about 2.5 rooms before it needed to be recharged. While recharging, I mistakenly cancelled the initial full floor job. It worked out OK after the second full floor job - completing the first map and a new second map at the same time. Be prepared to walk around with your robot to train it where not to go. I was able to use the pause button on the phone and the top button on the robot. However, it may be better to hit the sense bars on the robot to initially avoid areas while you create the first couple maps. Subsequently, I plan to mark out the no-go zones.

I’ve had this vacuum for about 5 months now, overall I’m really happy with it. This is on the lower-middle end price wise, so in my opinion the price matches the quality. It runs into things every so often but now that it knows the layout it usually stops before hitting something. It’s not the best at picking up litter and kibble. I usually find a few pieces scattered around, but it’s not excessive. I also only have hardwood floors, and small rugs, so it might be better on carpet? Occasionally it will get stuck for a minute around my desk chair and my bike, but it gets itself out within a few minutes. I’ve had no problems with the app for the most part. Linking it to the wifi was a pain, but it’s only disconnected on me once just recently, and I’m pretty sure it was a problem with my wifi. Unlike the other robots I looked at, this one doesn’t loose the layout or settings when it gets disconnected. I just started using the scheduling feature because I was afraid of dreadful cat hairball stories with all robot vacuums. Now I feel that it would probably avoid a hairball, but I’ll definitely be turning the scheduling off when shedding season starts again… Also that said, because this one has a rubber brush I don’t think it would be that bad. The side brush and maybe the filter would need to be replaced, and obviously a deep clean, but I don’t think that would be the end of it’s life.
What made it extremely worthwhile for me was the side and rubber brushes. I have a long haired cat, and this was a lifesaver during shedding season! I also have really long curly hair and anyone else that has long hair or lives with some that does knows the struggle of vacuuming. Particularly removing hair from a vacuum brush. This vacuum was a total game changer though!! I run it about 2-3x a week and I clean the hair off at the end of the week. It’s so easy, takes about 5 mins max (for side brush and rubber brushes).

What a time saver!
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2024
Style: Roomba J7+
We have mixed laminate and tiled floors, low thresholds and 1 cat. Mapping was spot on and obstacle avoidance works great. My only complaint is that the spinning side brush spins so fast that it often throws light debris out of the cleaning path.

We've owned an older Roomba, a Neato XV21 and now this Roomba J7+. Review sites adore this J7+ but I don't get it. We've had connectivity and setup issues with it, the app is a tick above mediocre and we don't like it requiring cloud storage of photos it takes in your home to get its reviewed performance.
Here are the numbers (higher is better) of the latest runs after it has had over a week to map out the house:
Noise: 5
Battery Life: 9
Avoids Getting Stuck: 7
Brush Maintenance: 10
Self Emptying: 10
Smarts: 3 (if you don't care about pet poop that is, higher if you do)
Cleaning Efficiency: 3
Edge / Corner Cleaning: 2
Finds Home / Self Charges: 7
Obstacle Avoidance: 5 (does avoid obstacles but is overly cautious)
This robot is really blind and inefficient. It is constantly stopping short of where it should clean, only to turn around and then come back and revisit the same place over and over again. It bumps into objects hard which is antiquated at this stage of robot vacuum evolution.
I've watched this Roomba J7+ attempt to clean areas it has mapped out and it attempts to row clean areas from memory but the control systems for the wheel motors aren't super precise for any of these floor robots. As a result, it will clean at an angle with respect to a toe kick / wall / edge where it should be driving parallel to it. This results in it having to have to re-clean the same areas more than once.
The room mapping would be far more useful if you could set priorities for the rooms. For instance, the kitchen and hallways are more important, in our case, than the bedrooms, but the J7+ often cleans the bedrooms before more important areas.
I think this is a decent robot for people that aren't home when the robot is cleaning. The brushes don't appear to require any maintenance, it's pretty good at finding its base and the self-emptying works well. Our base is near a gate-leg dining table and it gives this robot all kinds of trouble. It has a very hard time with the mine field of table and chair legs.
Unfortunately, with a lot of people working at home, this one falls short in that scenario. It does have a good run time but it's on the noisy side and is so inefficient in how it covers the floor area, that it runs and makes noise far longer than it should have to.
For reference, our $300 Costco Neato was quieter and far more efficient in its cleaning patterns. It was also better at edge and corner cleaning. The review sites state that the roomba has better suction than older bots but we didn't notice any difference in cleaning. In the end, none of them are going to deep clean carpets like an upright and they all seem to clean hard floors well in our experience.
Our Neato lasted maybe 6 years or so and then began intermittently failing with "my vision is blocked". This evidently is due to the lidar motor / belt system wearing out so this is a vulnerability the roomba doesn't have. That said, having a robot that can see makes it so much more efficient in how it traverses the house, I can deal with replacing it every 6 years.
We really dislike watching and listening to the Roomba j7+ bump into everything (and hard) after having the Neato with lidar where it can actually see where it's going.
Although use of a camera based, machine learning, convolutional neural network to see where it's going does seem like the inevitable future of these robots (as it's a big part of self-driving car tech), the Roomba J7+ evidently has a very weak system (camera, computational, ML model, etc). I think I can objectively say it uses its camera system for obstacle avoidance only and not navigation. The obstacle avoidance is overly cautious and causes the robot to miss areas it needs to clean.

Quién ha tenido una Roomba o Robot limpiador en su vida sabe que esto cambia mucho la vida cotidiana. Yo me acabo de actualizar de una Roomba 960 a esta J7+ y sólo puedo decir que no me arrepiento para nada. Esta roomba es la más “inteligente” de mercado por la gran cantidad de sensores y cámara con luz que ayudan a la detección de obstáculos, sin embargo, esto no la hace que sea excelente en todo, pero si una de las mejores opciones a considerar vs otras. Pros: Sensores por todos lados, esto evita que se caiga por las escaleras, que choque o raspe innecesariamente los muebles, paredes o puertas de tu casa. Cámara delantera: mejora su sistema de navegación y detecta obstáculos COMUNES: ropa, cables, zapatos, bolsas… la lista se actualiza en cada nueva actualización que reciba la roomba, y como tiene un led integrado, no es necesario prender siempre la luz para ayudar en su camino. * Base de limpieza: su bolsa se cambia entre 3 y 6 meses dependiendo de cuanto espacio aspira tu roomba. * Mapeo inteligente: agrega habitaciones o zonas de limpieza o zonas prohibidas. * Una o dos pasadas para aspirar. * Compatible con Alexa, Google Assistant o atajos de Siri. Cons: * Es bastante ruidosa, sobre todo cuando se activa la base para limpiar la roomba. * A pesar de que la base limpia la roomba hay que darle mantenimiento cada semana o cada 2 semanas para remover cabellos atorados o posibles basuras que no permitan su funcionamiento optimo. * La batería dura poco. * A veces la app de Alexa no es asertiva con las instrucciones dadas. * Es grande, considera el espacio si es que tu depa o casa es pequeña y ni cuentas con espacio en tu piso para darle un buen acomodo. * Dado que es un producto recién lanzado al mercado aún tiene ciertos errores. * La creación de mapas no es la mejor, yo he tenido problemas que he resuelto cambiando de lugar su base y corriendo un par de veces el mapeo. * Ya no tiene el botón para limpieza circular manual. Algunos tips para su mejor uso: Si eres un desesperado y quieres usarla antes de mapear TODA tu casa, puedes comenzar situando la base en un lugar con buen espacio y comenzar con un trabajo de descubrimiento, pararlo cuando sea necesario y continuar después con el resto de tu casa. Los mapas no son tan precisos como los genera la Braava Jet m6, pero tiene la ventaja de que al completarlo puedas compartirlo con tu otroa robots compatibles ( o si ya tienes otro robot que mapea, puedes usarlos) No dejes nada tirado en tu piso, aun cuando es bueno detectando obstáculos no siempre los evita, sobre todo cosas pequeñas como aretes, monedas, pasadores y cosas por el estilo. No lo dejes limpiar zonas mojadas, pueden dañar los sensores. Crea tantas zonas de limpieza o prohibidas como necesites, siempre ayudan con los pequeños detalles como zonas que no se limpian bien en las pasadas por habitación o tapetes que son delicados y no debe pasar la roomba. Yo recomiendo comprar una cinta de “Burletes” para suavizar los bumpers de la roomba y ni lastimar muebles delicados. Revisa rodillos y ruedas cada 15 días o cada mes para retirar cualquier detalle que evite que funcione adecuadamente. Recuerda que estos robots están para ayudarnos con tareas diarias que nos consumen tiempo, no esperes que reemplacen al 100% el trabajo humano.
