iRobot Roomba j7+ Robot Vacuum wBase

General Review - I was hesitant about buying a robot vacuum being a first time buyer however I love it so far! I had done some research before buying one and out of all of them the iRobot seems to have the best reputation. I found this one on sale during Prime Day as a refurbished from factory for HALF OFF its normal price!! Worked and looked brand new!PROS:- Does really well at cleaning on our high pile carpet- Excellent cleaning on hardwood flooring (pet hair included)- Self empties into its base- Can be setup to clean when you leave your home- Can be set to clean in certain areas of your home and even around certain objects by creating a zone.- Can place no-go zones to where the robot will not goto (had to do this with our closet because there were too many things in the way for me to want it to attempt to vacuum around)- Sends a notification to your phone with pictures when its done cleaning if it detects any objects in the way that allow you to tell it if its a temp object or if it should create a no-go zone automatically for you.CONS:- VERY NOISY when its emptying into its base station (only lasts a few seconds but be weary if running it at night with the base station near a bedroom!)- Replacement parts are kinda expensive if not bought on sale! Gives you an estimate of hours remaining on said part (which seemed kind of low in my opinion, making cost of ownership more expensive that you may realize. Example: Filter will last around 50 hours which will add up to around 2 months of usage if you run multiple times a week, filters cost about $30 for a 3 pack if you buy authentic ones)- Does OK at navigating around things but has caused scuffing on the body from where it bumps into things (there are 3rd party scuff guards you can buy off here that will help this issue (ie: foam pads, covers))- Sometimes doesn't clean around certain areas too well that tend to have more objects in the way (such as dining tables and near some living room furniture)OVERALL I would highly recommend this robot for first time robot vacuum buyers! Especially if you get a steal of a deal like myself!
