Roomba j6+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum – Identifies and Avoids Pet Waste & Cords, Empties Itself for Up to 60 Days, Smart Mapping, Compatible with Alexa, Ideal for Pet Hair

I have owned this Roomba for two years now and it has been fantastic. I have had older, non-self-cleaning models before, and this is miles better. It has travelled with my family (2 kids, 2 cats) through 4 different houses in the last year due to a remodel- even for a short stay, I refused to leave it behind! I feel like it is a member of the family. I talk to it, care for it lovingly, and thank it daily! Mapping- works great, no issues. It takes a long time but rarely needs to be done (only when in a new space) Cleaning- works great. Not completely as good as a hands on vacuuming, of course, but it does what it is supposed to do, time and time again. Avoiding cords, etc- works great, no issues. Manages both carpets and hardwoods without issue. Thin rugs/doormats in one of our houses did get sucked up, but thicker rugs were fine. Self emptying function/tower- this function is 50-70%% of why I love this vacuum so much. It works AMAZINGLY well and changing out the bag when full is WAY better than emptying the canister on a non-self-cleaning model- and has to be done so infrequently. App- Generally speaking I dislike appliance apps. However, this app works GREAT and the integrated maintenance monitoring and parts purchasing works incredibly well. I am delighted with the app. Maintenance- all the parts remove and clean easily and I actually enjoy keeping it in good shape. Maintenance is important- it only takes 10-20minutes every month or so to keep it in good working condition. My only wish would be for longer battery life. If I want to clean a several-room space with the double-clean function (which I nearly always select) it has to recharge during the job. It doesn't affect us when we do it if we're out of the house, but is a little annoying if we have to clean in the evening/night. In short, I love and thank my Roomba daily! 2 years, 351 jobs, and 237hr of use, and going strong!!

I have had the iRobot Roomba j6+ for just over two months. I was waiting to write a review until I have had enough time to see how well it works. I am not sure why everyone thinks the robot is great. Within the first 2 weeks, I just wanted to return it, because it was not performing like I wanted. But I thought it would get better as it learned more. Nope, I am very disappointed with it. First the iRobot Roomba j6+ does not have LIDAR. So, it just bumps into things until it maps out your house. Even my granddaughter is asking why it runs into walls. iRobot needs to add LIDAR, so give it some eyes please. Once the house is mapped it does ok at best. You tell it to go clean a room, it does go there 99.9% of the time. Some days it seems confused. It does have some difficulty driving over the carpet thresholds. The instructions state you should have house lights on so it can navigate better. Well, sometimes, I need to vacuum an area and it dark. So, I have to turn the lights on. See, it needs LIDAR. It is horrible at navigating around objects. It seems to miss cords ok, but it does not navigate around cats toys, kids toys, or Christmas ornaments. Yes, it destroyed an ornament. Troubleshooting faults can be difficult. The robot will tell you there is a fault, you go to fix it, but it does not fix it. So, you just have to try other things until the fault clears. It is always getting stuck. It tends to pile up bathroom rugs instead of going over them. It also knocked down a broom and pinned itself a room. Bottom-line, the robot is ok at best. Is it worth the money, absolutely not. I got mine on sale. I would never buy again or buy it if I knew how bad it navigates. Also, I will not buy another iRobot until they add a better navigation system. My 10 year old Neato performs better than the iRobot. Back to the LIDAR, I did not do my research well enough and I thought all iRobot’s had LIDAR. Now I realize that none of the iRobots have LIDAR, unless I misread it. That is huge issue for me. A robot needs some way of seeing. Imagine closing your eyes and walking through your house with your eyes closed. That is what the iRobot does. It does seem to vacuum fairly well. So that is a plus. In the end, this robot is not for me. I expect a lot from these robots and this one was disappointing. I will try the Roborock next.

Caveats: I have a very flat floor plan with mostly hard wood floors and some carpet. I run the Roomba during the day (it needs light to see). Also tidy up a bit before setting it loose. I had a couple of the original random dumb Roombas in the past (1999?) - these are vastly superior. Thumbs Up: It works very well; it might be slower than a person but it's more thorough. It is a very effective cleaner. (Two dogs, two children here). Thumbs sideways: They have more consumables than a push-around-vaccuum. The brushes wear quickly, the filter clogs, parts are smaller. I would say given my heavy use (5000 sq ft cleaning a week?) plan $30-$70 a year on replacement bags (for the self-emptying one) , filters and brushes. It's not completely fire-and-forget it will require attention once every two weeks for my area, to unclog or empty.

Estoy feliz con mi Segunda Roomba, la anterior duro 7 años y esta versión la supera por mucho. Fácil de usar, programable, con cámara que evita que jale o pise cosas indeseadas. Es mi aliada para tener una casa limpia, siendo tutora de 5 perros. La amo y vale cada peso. El único tema es que pide repuestos es poco tiempo pero con una debida limpieza se quita ese mensaje.

Fácil de configurar, hizo mapeo de la casa e identificó sala, comedor, cocina (esto tardo un poco pues es una área grande). La limpieza la hace más rápido y muy bien. No es ruidosa

A menos de 1 mes de uso, dejó de funcionar. Si estás pensando en opciones, esta opción No lo recomiendo.

El equipo trabaja tal cual indica su caja es super cómodo poder programar rutinas de limpieza y que este trabaje por si solo

Compré esta aspirardora porque acabo de adoptar un gato y hay algo de pelo de este y polvo de la arena, en general creo que hace un buen trabajo, la tengo que pasar dos veces por el departamento para que limpié bien y siempre quedan un poco de residuos. Recomindo ponerla a trabajar diario o 4 veces por semana para obtener buenos resultados.
