Customers are mixed about the quality of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it does a better cleaning job and does not get stuck or tangled in the power. It does an extremely good job vacuuming up pet hair and avoiding any obstacles in its way, while others say that it starts leaving balls of dirt everywhere it goes and needs to be kept clean.

26 customers mention "Ease of use"16 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's easy to use and manage because of the product app, and the app configuration was easy. However, others say that the app is not user friendly, very limited, and hard to figure out. It takes some getting used to and requires more involvement than expected.

26 customers mention "Mapping"17 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the mapping of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it's great, easy to setup, and better at mapping and navigation. However, others say that it is terrible, takes forever, and gets stuck all the time.

21 customers mention "Noise"13 positive8 negative

Customers are mixed about the noise of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it's quieter and smarter than their older Roomba, while others say it makes lots of noise and not working properly. The self emptying feature is loud, and the vacuum sometimes makes a clunk.

"...On the other hand, it is very quiet, so I don’t mind it going on during the day...." Read more

"...Highly recommend this vacuum! And it is not loud at all, for a vacuum it’s pretty quiet actually, I can watch TV as it runs with no issue...." Read more

"...Very loud" Read more

"...Pros:Quieter. Better at mapping and navigation." Read more

20 customers mention "Battery life"10 positive10 negative

Customers are mixed about the battery life of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it has an incredibly long battery life and has lots of battery power to vacuum their 2200 sq ft home, while others say that it leaves the base and stops for over a minute, then starts again for a while. It also turns off every few minutes, runs out of battery, or randomly stops in an area and ends the cleaning job. It gets stuck and shuts down over and over on items. Customers have mixed feelings about how it handles battery life.

"...The battery life means it can do your entire space on one charge and have room to continue...." Read more

"...The biggest disappointment I’ve had with this unit is how it handles battery life...." Read more

"...Battery life is also very good. It is able to vacuum my entire house on one charge...." Read more

"...one day and it was just in the middle of my bathroom, not dead, it just stopped. It was not the ideal thing." Read more

31 customers mention "Value"5 positive26 negative

Customers are disappointed with the value of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They say it's not worth the money, disappointing, and not acceptable at this price point. Customers also mention that the brush/rollers used are rather useless at picking up dust, dirt, and debris. They also say the app wastes lots of their time asking them to label images and clean dust bins.

"...the new Dyson Vis Nav but it’s currently unavailable and the price is astronomical. That got me looking at Roomba...." Read more

"...My only complaint at this early stage is the cost of the filter within the robot itself. That needs to be kept clean or strange things happen...." Read more

"...Now the cons of the j9+. It's dumb, very dumb. Since this model uses a camera, it will take picture of potential obstacles as the job runs...." Read more

"...that illusory help with day to day life evaporated into a very expensive hunk of plastic that seems to only want to waltz in the middle of a room..." Read more

Perfect for homes with pets & very customizable
We have an oddly laid out three level townhouse with two dogs that love shed a lot. We have a mix of carpet, rugs and hard floors. Prior to getting the j9+, we spent half a day a week just vacuuming the carpets and rugs to keep the house clean. Who doesn't like a clean house but that's a waste of your weekend. The Roomba j9+ has a lot of great features that help you customize your personal experience. It's all about using the app properly. Don't be afraid to map more than once, create a separate map for each level and move the home base of the iRobot to that level so it can empty. Create a schedule for the high traffic areas to do every couple of days. That's a life saver! A few other pointers, set the suction to high for the areas that tend to be dirtier and use the "2 Pass" for high traffic carpeted areas. The app takes some getting used to but once you get it just right for your home, you just wait for the app to prompt you for bag/filter replacements and go back to your fun weekend.

The media could not be loaded.
 App-controlled, schedule setting and map updating all autonomously, makes having this device a no-brainer for a two-cat apartment.
As soon as i head out to the office, the iRoomba J9 gets to work. It works based around my schedule and as i set it.

Meaning, when i come home i see a freshly vacuumed carpet, everyday.

And for days that i want to clean a mess I’ve created, the roomba works great cleaning whatever it is that i need. The battery life means it can do your entire space on one charge and have room to continue.

Clean, sleek-design means it blends in with any setting. And the self emptying dock with replaceable HEPA bags means all that cat fur and related dander is sucked up and disposed of, not leaving any behind with the powerful suction that the base or dock has. This device has made living and keeping a clean space all the more easier and effortless. Help you, your loved ones and your furry friends keep your space clean too with the IRoomba J 9 with self emptying dock !

The only thing better is a person and a traditional vacuum. My floors are mostly wood and some tile and a few rugs over the wood/tile, and this vacuum does a great job on this floor. The one thing this vacuum does not do is move the furniture so it can vacuum underneath.

Update: after fighting with tech support for weeks, they sent me a battery that is half the size and half the amps per hour than the stock battery. The replacement battery can’t even complete our kitchen without draining 75% of the battery. This is iRobot’s idea of support, to send you a cut rate battery that will render the unit useless and won’t be able to complete a cleaning job. This unit is 4 months old. I CANNOT CAUTION YOU ENOUGH!!! Do not purchase this unit. Warranties are useless. iRobot does not honor their products and sends cheap solutions that make the issues worse!!!

This is the biggest waste of money I’ve ever committed. We previously had the 860 and it became unreliable so we decided to upgrade. Big mistake! This new model is just as unreliable as the 6 yr old broke down model. The first month it worked great, even better than the previous model. After about a month, it no longer could complete a job without getting stuck or just randomly stopping. Sometimes it doesn’t charge even though I wipe the sensors daily. It’s supposed to get smarter but it gets dumber by the day. My floors look terrible everyday because this paper weight won’t do its job. If I want my floors clean I have to run another vac to get it done because this one is worthless! Changing rollers and brushes and cleaning this unit doesn’t help. I’m done with iRobot.

Edit 6/5/24: This model is advertised as being able to avoid pet waste, IT DOESN'T! One of my cats vomited a significant amount of freshly eaten dry cat food. It was a pile as big as or bigger than a pile of poo. This robot ran right over it. It was a disgusting mess to clean out of the rollers and dust bin. Also, the camera is so low resolution that you can't make out what it took a picture of when reviewing its activity for avoidance training. The camera requires a good amount of light so I've had to resort to programming my smart home lights to turn on during scheduled cleaning times (in the middle of the day) so the robot can "see" where it's going.

I have been a Dyson person for the last 10 years and I really wanted the new Dyson Vis Nav but it’s currently unavailable and the price is astronomical. That got me looking at Roomba. All the positive reviews can’t be wrong and I got mine for $300 below MSRP right here on Amazon. I like how well it mapped my home! It’s really accurate. I have not had it long enough to comment on all of the features such as Dirt Detective but there are a few things I can comment on. I feel it could use stronger suction. I’m using it on hardwood floors and I want it to get stray cat litter. It picks up most cat litter but a lot of granules get left behind in the roller chamber. Also when the Roomba docks and attempts to empty itself it never fully gets all the litter out of the dust bin in the Roomba. It seems to get all the cat hair and regular dirt/dust with no issue though. Battery life is also very good. It is able to vacuum my entire house on one charge. Run time seems a bit long (2 hrs) but that may improve as it learns more about my house. I don’t really care too much about run time as I have it set to do it’s thing while I’m at work and it’s done by the time I get home. I plan to keep my eyes on Dyson though. As they improve their robot and add features I’ll probably jump ship. Theirs has the power of an upright vacuum and it has a permanent washable filter. Also no bags to deal with. For now this is a good machine to get my feet wet in the robotic realm.

This will clean your floors 90% of the time, everytime. This robot vacuum works fantastic. The app is easy to use and interface with and gives you lots of information. It maps your house very thoroughly and gives you information on how much dirt is in whatever location. This is like the terminator of robot vacuums. Yes of courses we all know you still have to do some slight cleaning by yourselves because the robot cannot get into tight corners and what not but I would say that it does a very thorough job. Now there are different settings on it like the suction, so it is noticeably quieter when you have it set the lower suction setting, but the higher suction setting actually vacuums better. But then at the same time sacrificing battery life. I prefer to use the higher setting because the robot will go back home and recharge and the cleaning once it’s charged and keep doing that until it’s finished with the entire floor of your house. This works fabulous especially if you have pets. This model is designed for that. So you can say “hasta la vista” to dirt. The dog is occasionally mildly amused by it, and the cat completely ignores it. I was kind of hoping the cat would ride around on it like a speeder on Endor, but he seems to consider it more of an irrelevant nuisance. I highly suggest this product and it works great. Very satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really sucks!
Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2024
Style: Roomba J9+Verified Purchase
Truly, this thing sucks. In terms of vacuums, that’s what you want. It has good variable suction and picks up a surprising amount. It’s great at avoiding tangles and things you forget on the floor and its picture review helps define those items. Yes, the app has its bugs but overall, once automated, the bot goes on its happy little way. The noise level isn’t bad and it works out its paths fairly quickly. The base, that’s where it REALLY sucks. The vac inside of the self emptying bin is incredibly powerful. Does it empty every single thing? Not every time but it gets the bin emptied for the next job. In doing so though, a jet engine takes off. Would suggest programming it to run more daytime when not home. Now I’m looking forward to a Braava mop to compliment the vac.

I must let you know right off the bat, I have two large dogs. So hair, dirt, grass and dander are a normal occurrence in our house hold. On carpets, vinyl flooring and door mats. Being able to select functions that work with the type of flooring has been a life savour. Increase the suction on carpet to pull up the dander and dog hair (and my long hair) has cut down the allergens in the house. Recieving updates of objects in the way is also handy (many times it's just a dog toy). But also being able to schedule what rooms are to be done on certain days along with what time it is to go out. Cuts down on the cleaning time on weekends.
If you have pets, kids or just the outdoors coming indoors. I suggest this vacuum!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not great picking up cat hair.

Does a good job on hard surfaces like hardwood and ceramic tile but leaves a lot of cat hair behind on the rugs. Even with more scheduled cleaning days (6 out of 7 for the carpeted areas) and higher suction settings, the area rugs are no cleaner and it is catching on the corners of the area rugs. On day 7 I use my upright vacuum and am astounded by the amount of cat hair it picks up considering that the iRobot claims to be good at picking up pet hair and has been actively cleaning for 6 days. My iRobot seems to be a slow learner also. It gets "stuck" often. I am hopeful that it will improve with age and experience.

It's running volume is really loud, but when it empties it just about gives me a migraine. It gets stuck on the corners of area rugs that it's supposed to go over... I wish I never purchased this, i have to babysit it when I'd really want to turn it on and leave and come back to a vacuumed home... I come back to it stuck or some other error..

5.0 out of 5 stars Smarter, more suction for carpets, powerfully handles transitions, great app -- all win

This j9+ is my second Roomba vacuum after my j5+ and was a really easy addition to the family and the Roomba app. I let the j5+ handle the main floor with its mainly hard surfaces and the j9+ is handling the 2nd floor which is almost all carpeted.

The j9+ has noticeably more suck power than j5+ and works really well on the medium and low pile carpet. It climbs room transitions with ease, eg from the carpeted rooms to the tiled bathrooms.

The Roomba neatly works around chair legs and kitty water dishes without bumping anything. No spilled water.

Regular maintenance is simple and fast. After a few vacuum runs I had to remove the side brush to untangle a cat toy with a long yarn tail. I also checked for trapped carpet fibers in the spinning brushes and found almost none.

I really love the app. I have been able to create daily cleaning schedules with times set to avoid our activity (upstairs gets vacuumed while we're making breakfast). I have it set to vacuum rooms in an order that is least likely to interfere with us even if we return upstairs sooner than usual. I added Clean Zones and a couple of Stay Away zones and now I can just let it do its thing.

No regrets on this purchase.
