The j7+ put a big smile…

I always hoped to find a Roomba under the Christmas tree, but this year Christmas came early!
We decided on the j7+ as we liked the idea of it being self emptying. It arrived quickly and well packaged direct from iRobot. The base station was smaller than I thought which was a pleasant surprise. We let it charge for a few hours then started a mapping run. The iRobot app that you download to use with it is really easy to use. I have been really impressed how well it has been cleaning. We have a mix of laminate and lino downstairs, topped with runners and rugs. The map shows the location of carpeted areas that the Roomba has discovered. We also live in an odd shaped corner house but the j7+ has handled it well. I love the fact you can create keep out areas and clean zones near bins etc so the Roomba knows to avoid or pay more attention in these zones. It is quiet when vacuuming but does get loud when emptying at the base station (only as loud as a normal upright but it only lasts for a few seconds). I have been impressed with it's ability to navigate and clean. It is strangely very entertaining to watch. Seeing my parents raise their legs so the j7+ can clean near the sofas, watching our dog chase after it (we now shut her in her space but she barks when the Roomba cleans in front of her safety gate entrance), my son narrating the cleaning journey and seeing the j7+ line up to go up the ramp to it's base is priceless.
I suffer with arthritis and degenerative discs in my back. At times I cannot vacuum and watch sadly as dog hair forms into dog hair tumbleweeds. Now I no longer have to worry because this Roomba can handle collie cross hair like a boss! Just seeing the clean floors makes me feel better.
My elderly parents have been really impressed by the j7+. They hate new technology but have been blown away but the Roomba. They are impressed by it's diligence and how clean the floors are after it has been round. It vacuum under the radiator cover 3 times in 1 session-I don't even do that!
At the moment I have no negatives but only the regret of not getting a Roomba sooner. It is so nice to have the ability to send it out and know it will do it's job.
