Hands on: iRobot Roomba i7+ review

Making the worst part of robot vacuums a lot better

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

Awfully pricey ; Now recurring operating cost

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, we can’t wait to fully test this one.

iRobot Roomba i7+ & Automatic Dirt Disposal review

iRobot's Roomba i7+ comes with a suction dock that gives you up to 60 days of hands-free cleaning. But does that make this robot vacuum one to buy?

Powerful ; Brilliant mapping & targeted cleaning ; Good climbing ability ; Low profile

Noisy ; Bangs into furniture ; Expensive for feature set

As well as its self-emptying tech, the i7+ has brilliant mapping that'll let you target specific pieces of furniture or parts of a room for a clean. However, its noisy operation and bumper car-style navigation make it harder to recommend.

The Roomba i7+ is the robot vacuum I’ve been waiting for

The Roomba i7+ is iRobot's best vacuum robot yet -- mostly, because it can finally empty itself after every cleaning job. It's something the company has always been working towards, but its high price makes a tough sell for most consumers.

Excellent cleaning performance ; Much quieter than before ; Clean Base automatically empties bin ; Room mapping is more useful

Very expensive ; Requires proprietary bags ; (which are also very expensive)

iRobot Roomba i7+ review

The range-topping, reimagined Roomba i7+ offers great cleaning performance, multi-floor mapping and automatic dirt disposal, throwing shade on discount dirt-busters. We wouldn't be surprised to see other robovacs follow suite by copying many of the...

Excellent cleaning performance ; Automatic dirt disposal ; Persistent, multi-floor mapping ; Easy scheduling and single room cleaning ; Google Home/Amazon Alexa voice control

Expensive ; Bulky Clean Base can be a challenge to position ; Dirt disposal system is loud

It would be easy – if a little lazy – to call the Roomba i7+ “the iPhone of robot vacuums” given its high price tag and premium features, but that certainly seems to be where this model is positioned. At $949, the i7+ is very expensive, especially...

All the bells and whistles

High price tag ; Loud operation ; Still gets stuck from time to time

iRobot Roomba i7+

With the ability to empty its own dustbin, iRobot's Roomba i7+ is the first robot vacuum we've tested that truly does all of the work for you.

Self-emptying dustbin. Multistory mapping. Excellent camera-based navigation. Automatic room recognition. Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility.

Expensive. Noisy. Clean Base is bulky.

Bottom Line: With the ability to empty its own dustbin, iRobot's Roomba i7+ is the first robot vacuum we've tested that truly does all of the work for you.

iRobot Roomba i7+ review: This robot vacuum empties its own dustbin

Robot vacuums are great timesavers—at least until their small dustbins fill up. The Roomba i7+ is smart enough to empty its own.

Excellent cleaning performance ; Self-emptying dustbin ; Can map multiple floor plans

Clean Base requires more floor space than conventional dock ; Expensive

It’s hard to overstate how impressive the iRobot Roomba i7+ is. It’s the first product to fulfill the robot vacuum’s promise to completely automate one of the most-hated household tasks. The implementation isn’t perfect—the Clean Base’s space...

iRobot Roomba i7+ Review

Robot vacuums are nothing new, they've been around since the late 90s and early 2000s but one of the most recognizable brands is iRobot and their Roomba series. I've been using the Roomba i7+ for a number of weeks and while it's not the best, it does...

on iRobot Roomba i7+ Review ; Great smart home integration ; The mapping feature makes it easier to clean certain areas ; Picks up most dirt and debris ; The self-emptying feature is cool ; Good cleaning time ; Disney announces new Marvel shows coming...

Clean Base is very loud ; Expensive ; AllergenLock bags are an added cost ; Overall cleaning could be better

Overall, the iRobot Roomba i7+ is a good robot vacuum that does the job, has lots of smart features and sensors but is also on the expensive side.

iRobot Roomba i7+ Review: A Convenient, Costly Robot Vacuum

The iRobot Roomba i7+ is great at learning your home's layout and is ideal for challenging surfaces and areas with lots of obstacles. It's a solid performing robot vacuum, too. And, yes, the Clean Base is impressive and easy to empty — especially for...

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

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.
