As with the standard Roomba j7+, the Combo easily vacuums dust, dirt, and pet hair from all flooring types, and rarely gets stuck. If you have a mix of hard flooring and carpets at home, the Roomba Combo j7+ is worth the additional $300 over its non-mopping sibling.

Most owners believe that running their robot vacuums four times per week is sufficient to keep the floors dust-free. However, if you have children or pets, you should use your robot vacuum more frequently. Daily vacuuming is recommended if you suffer from seasonal allergies.

Our Verdict. The iRobot Roomba i7 and iRobot Roomba j7 each have advantages, meaning one may suit you better than the other, depending on your needs. The i7 performs significantly better on low-pile carpet and charges faster but has a shorter battery life than the j7.

All buttons will be locked on your robot once "Child & Pet Lock" is enabled to avoid accidental Start/Resumes by children or pets. However, when "Child & Pet Lock" is enabled, all App features will function normally. Users can enable and disable “Child & Pet Lock” only through the iRobot HOME App.

A Roomba measures how long it takes for an emitted infrared beam to bounce back to the photocell sensors, which provides more precise object detection. In essence, the photocells measure changes in light levels, while the infrared sensors can detect changes in motion.

Roomba® robot vacuums are highly efficient, only drawing power when they're charging in docks and to ensure uninterrupted connectivity with home WiFi systems. In fact, even if left plugged in all day, Roomba® consumes less energy than the typical upright vacuum cleaner.

If you get a more affordable model, like Roomba 675 you can expect a lifespan of up to two years. Go to the higher-end, like the iRobot j7+, and our research and testing suggest you can get five years plus of cleaning with proper maintenance.

Ease of use. Our model was the i7+, and the plus means that it came with an auto-emptying station. With the station, the Roomba emptied itself after each cleaning, but the station was quite loud operating at over 80 decibels. The vacuum itself was relatively quiet at about 70dB, the volume of a conversation.

So with the j7. Plus you are supposed to now use your custom. Created home map to direct your bot to a specific place in your home to do a targeted vacuum. Here is exactly how to do it in the irobot.

To pause your robot during a cleaning job, press CLEAN on your robot. To send your robot back to the Home Base®, press Dock on the robot. To end a cleaning job and put your robot in standby mode, press and hold CLEAN until all indicators turn off.
