Roomba j7+: High-Performance Self Learning Robot
The iRobot Roomba j7+ is a smart, self-emptying robot designed with a learning technology that monitors your habits and routine to offer you a stress-free cleaning experience. The vacuum robot features a built-in camera that automatically detects obstacles such as pet poops on furniture while cleaning your apartment.
Dimensions
The iRobot j7 plus is a circular device with a dimension of 13.34 x 13.3 x 3.4 inches and weighs 7.49 pounds. However, the dust bin in this robot vacuum is 0.4 liters and can store 60 days' worth of debris.
Features
The iRobot j7+ is a robot vacuuming device that sports several interesting features. By far, the self-emptying dust bin is one of the amazing features you’ll enjoy in the Roomba j7+. The self-emptying feature saves you the hassle of having to empty the bin after cleaning. The device comes with two allergen-sealed debris bags, which you can reuse several times before replacing them.
Furthermore, the "Clean While I'm away feature" in the j7+ Roomba prompts the robot to start cleaning your apartment once it detects that your phone is not in the house. For effective cleaning, the j7+ guides you on how to map the rooms and spaces in your apartment, so it can memorize your home and clean it based on your preferences. Download the iRobot Genius app to organize your cleaning duties and specify your cleaning preference.
The docking station of the j7+ iRobot is dubbed Clean Base and it doubles as a charging station and a garbage receptacle. Once the j7 plus dust bin bag is full, it returns to the Clean Base which suctions the debris from the robot for another round of cleaning. However, Clean Base takes up more space than a conventional docking station.
The learning technology and built-in camera in the Roomba j7+ help the robot detect obstacles. Moreover, you can teach the robot how to avoid obstacles in your apartment by leaving feedback on the app. Another interesting feature of the j7+ robot is that it takes pictures of unknown obstacles and sends them to the iRobot Genius app for proper identification.
The iRobot Roomba j7+ has an average noise level of 54.9 dB, similar to a quiet office; yet if you're worried about using the robot while making a call or spending time with family, you can instruct the robot to reduce its noise from the app. The j7+ has an average use area of 1900 square feet, and it sends a real-time report of the area cleaned and how long it took. Then, after each full cycle, the robot sends a map of the areas cleaned.
Design
The Roomba j7+ robot has a sleek design and a smaller cleaning base that allows it to fit under desks, couches, and other pieces of furniture. Additionally, the base has several floor tracking sensors and a cliff. The sleek design of the j7+ robot features a single button on the faceplate, a navigation sensor, and a camera on the front bumper, which gives the robot its superpower — obstacle detection.
The robot utilizes the iRobot's 3-stage Cleaning System, which employs dual multi-surface rubber brushes to clean dirt, dust, and pet hair on different floors. It also features the edge-sweeping brush for walls and corners and the 10x power-Lifting suction vacuum's stubborn specks of dirt.
Conclusion
The Roomba j7+ review shows that it is a superior vacuum robot with an auto-emptying feature, automatic obstacle detection, schedule cleaning, and a 3-stage cleaning system. However, while this device will help you if you have a busy schedule, it only vacuums and doesn't mop. Also, the suction power is insufficient to handle certain dirt and pet hair, and the robot is highly-priced.
