As a smart robot vacuum with superior mapping that empties itself, the iRobot Roomba i7+ looks great on paper. But for the price, you deserve better performance.

Excellent navigation; Able to clean just one room; Clean Base is easy to empty; Fast cleaner

Expensive; Clean Base is very loud; Cleaning could be more thorough

Robot vacuums are a dime a dozen nowadays, with new manufacturers and names hitting the market seemingly weekly. iRobot popularized the concept with the Roomba, which has become a household name over the years.

The Roomba I7 is iRobot's latest and perhaps their greatest robotic vacuum to date. iRobot's latest Roomba now has what industry experts call "persistent maps" which means the robot "remembers" the layout of your home so that it can be more efficient in subsequent cleaning sessions.

Extended autonomy with the Clean Base station that empties the robot's dust bin for you; Persistent mapping stores your home's map for more efficient cleaning; Cleans a specific part of your home; Hands-free operation with Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility; Great option for cleaning pet hair

Automatic dirt disposal system now has additional recurring costs to maintain; Insanely expensive

The iRobot Roomba i7+ is an impressive new development for iRobot’s line of robot vacuums, and a logical next step for the product category. Between its new smart mapping tech and digital assistant integration, this is well worth the money – if you can swing the steep price.

Imprint Smart Mapping; Digital assistant integration; Automatically empties dust; Nearly 100% automated

Awfully pricey; Recurring operating cost

Imagine a robot vacuum that not only remembers your home’s floor plan and cleans specific rooms by name, but also automatically empties its own bin. That is exactly what iRobot Corp’s Roomba i7+ robot vacuum cleaner does with Clean Base Automatic Dirt disposal.

The Roomba i7+ from iRobot adds a self-emptying bin, remembers your floorplan and picks up all the dog hair in your house. Is that enough to justify $950.

The truest robot vacuum ever made...

Can empty itself; App allows you to choose what rooms to clean; Powerful dirt pickup
