iRobot Roomba Combo j7+
Costly, but worth it!

My wife got me the Roomba Combo for our anniversary, and after playing around with it found it wasn't right for out flat. However, now we have the J7+ it's a very different story.
Straight out the box it was just a matter of putting on the charging plate, connecting it to wifi, and it was good to go. I set it on a mapping run and it was able to recognise what each room was, where rugs and carpets were, and even label the bedroom vs the living room.
The real showpiece is how the mop self-selects, so was able to do a single run of the entire flat, both vacuuming and mopping, without any input from me!
The suction and debris pick up was genuinely surprising for something so small and the maintenance steps of removing hair and fur from the rollers was fairly effortless.
I was initially off put by the cost, but you can see both in the fantastic mapping features in the app, and the image recognition ability, where the budget has gone. It's a clear step up versus previous models, and lightyears ahead of the competitiors.
A couple of watch outs would be that the auto-empty feature is really quite load; so if you have this run at night, you will want to ensure you've got good soundproofing away from the Clean Base.
The other is that the base unit requires UK plug converters and refills. Obviously not a dealbreaker, but one to note when buying.
I have no doubt that this will be a mainstay in our household for years to come.
