iRobot Roomba i7+ (i7556) WiFi connected Robot Vacuum

Product Information

The Roomba i7+ does a great job here, too, and removes 60% of the sand on the short carpet and 70% on the higher carpet. As for how the Roomba i7+ performs, iRobot has vastly improved its leading vacuum’s smart navigation capabilities.

Right above that you'll find the round start button, which is flanked by smaller home and spot clean buttons. A full suite of advanced sensors allow this robot to navigate under and around furniture and along edges, while Cliff Detect keeps it from falling down the stairs. The mapping system can strangely remember only up to 10 floor plans at a time, which you can name either with set names or custom names. In the "Maintenance" section, you can see when you have to replace individual spare parts (brushes, HEPA filters, etc.It is quite an important point for me because I tested a older model (roomba 700 series) and while the bump wasn't too excessive on some places, it was definitely quite scary on others. It has no problem with small debris like rice but it struggles a bit more with large debris, which end up getting caught in the brushroll, keeping it from spinning. Initial placement took some thought as the base station needs to be set up with half a meter clearance on either side of it and also needs height clearance for the dirt disposal unit so I couldn’t set it up out of the way under a table.

It would have been better if iRobot had used a washable, reusable dust chamber instead of the disposable dust bag.You can’t adjust the cleaning power but there are three cleaning system options, based on how whether the i7+ goes over rooms once or twice.
