- Here are my TOP 3 Reasons to BUY This ROOMBA! I bought the Roomba i7 with Base during a Cyber Monday sale. I have been using it for the past month and it has been great. The smart mapping and voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant is so nice. Just call up the Roomba to come vacuum a room. The Roomba i7 neat rows cleaning is very precise. This Roomba was voted best robot vacuum for 2020.

Love my roomba. Got one over 4 years ago when I moved into a home with hardwood floors. It was a game changer (with two dogs that constantly shed). Still works great to this day. Been considering upgrading to a newer one with the bin and more features. You may have convinced me that it's about time. Great video!
Thank you very much Shane. I appreciate you saying that. That is great to hear yours is working that well for you 4 years later. If you get this model, you can pair it with the Braava mop and the two will tag team a room. It Vacuums and the mop follows behind. That is awesome. This stuff is so cool. Thanks for checking out the video.
I have the same model of Roomba and love it. It does an amazing job cleaning and the base is a great addition. The base was the main reason i went with this model. I have two dogs as well. One runs and hides from it. The other dog, our Frenchie, follows it and barks at it the whole time it is out. Over the weeks we have worked with him to get more comfortable with the Roomba and now he will mostly ignore it, but still he feels the need to run over to it once or twice, get real close and bark at just to let it know who is the boss of the house. Anyone who owns a Frenchie will know that they are always the boss of the house ... LOL. By the Way, Love your channel Craig.
Such a great review, Craig!
Great review 👍
Great video! I have been using roomba for a few years now. I started with the 690 model which didn't have any mapping whatsoever and then early this year I invested in the i7 as well. I decided to not go with the bin emptying base because I only seem to have to empty the bin every week or so. I really really love the virtual no-go zones. One thing though is when I had first started using roomba I would start it and stop it frequently using alexa but it didn't interact the way I would like. For example I would tell it to tell roomba to stop cleaning and then the roomba would stop but then alexa would say she couldn't communicate with it. I use the app more frequently than using my alexa but I might start doing that again since you mentioned how convenient it is. I wonder if it will get confusing since I use the old roomba to clean upstairs so I have two robots connected on my app, I'm curious to find out now.
Great job as always of the review on the Roomba - I purchased the i7 with the tower about 5 months ago and I couldn't agree with you more... Your review was spot on. The feature of having Alexa send out the Roomba to a select room is one of the reason I purchased this vacuum. Like you I love the Roomba i7 with the tower. The only issues I have is having my Roomba pick up popcorn kernels on the floor...drives me crazy. I certain I will get over it...or at least find a way to trick the vacuum to pick up the kernels. I'll keep you posted on my success....
Thanks Craig.
I have a bissell robot vac doesn’t have all the bells and whistles as yours but it works well. I have it go off everyday at 9 am for a half hour.
I have the same thing and loves it. I have it on schedule and Integrated with IFTT to turn on some lights when it starts vacuuming at night. I believe it runs with camera and needed light to vacuum properly. It is that quiet. Then turns off the lights after its done. Also, a good helper when I am cooking and I can just ask Alexa to vacuum the kitchen while I am cleaning the counters.
That is awesome. I like the idea of turning on the lights at the same time it starts vacuuming. That is very cool. From what I understand it needs the lights. I’m gonna have to do something like that. That is great. The being able to call it into the kitchen after you’re done is great. I’m glad I went with this model. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the routine triggering idea.
I love this roomba thank you for posting this video I also loved the live can't wait for the next one just a quick question can the roomba go on carpet or will it break
Yes it can go on carpet
Glad you are enjoying your I7. I have the Roborock S5 and also I believe the E3 which I use upstairs. I have had mine for 2 years and am still shocked at times at how much dirt and cat hair it picks up every day. I don't mind the fact it does not self empty I just empty it once a day in the morning its part of my routine now. My cats actually like the robot more than the regular vacuum they don't run in fear from it they just watch it and I like it doesn't stress them out as the regular one does.
I have had my Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum for about a year. Best gadget I have ever purchased
Had a one for about 6 months absolutely brilliant, got one of the older version, set it to clean the flat every day when I go off to work, which I would never normally
Vacuum daily , never had to use my Dyson again which is getting dusty now lol ,
That’s great to hear. People seem to love the Roomba is. It’s good to hear you love yours and it’s working well. I like the idea of the Dyson collecting dust. Thanks for watching.
Great timing for this video. I just bought a i7+ last week. Have a shedding lab and it has been noticeably cleaner throughout my house. I used my Dyson Animal Sunday and there was noticeably less dirt/hair in the canister than what it was before I got the Roomba. My Roomba schedule is Mon, Wed and Friday. I also get the same "roomba is not responding" and it starts anyways. Had a few small issues. My schedule disappeared on my app this morning and then I got the Red ring 3/4 way through the job . It didn't return to the base to recharge
Glad to hear that it has worked well for you except for those few issues. That is interesting I’ve not seen the red light yet. But our house isn’t that big so it does fine on a single charge. I think it has worked great for dog for for me too. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your experience.
My 980 is turned on by virtual switch in SmartThings to vacuum when I leave the house.
I agree the Roomba i7+is the best thing ever invented and i kick myself why I didn’t buy sooner. I paid $599 on Cyber Monday and I loved it so much I bought my daughter one for Xmas and she was over the moon and kept saying Mom best gift ever after she used it a month!
I got a Roborock vacuum and I really like it. And not nearly as expensive. Connects to Alexa. Mapping. Map editing. Scheduling. Pretty much every feature you would want other than automatic bin emptying.
I have heard great things about the Robo rock vacuums. Thank you for sharing your experience and watching.
How do you edit unwanted unnamed rooms
I have a question for you Craig, if you were to pick up the Roomba while it's cleaning, or before you start it, and set it down somewhere else, does it know where it is, i.e. what room it's in. And if so, will it go back to the room you took it from? Say you picked it up in the kitchen and set it back down in the living room during a "kitchen" clean, will it head back to the kitchen to finish that initial "command"? What's the phrase I'm looking for...oh yeah, "spatial awareness" Thanks.
Yes it will know where it is. If not it will create a map of the room and recognize it next time.
Hi, Craig ! Please, take a look at the Wyze Vacuum with LIDAR mapping technology, which is the latest. It has all what you mentioned on this video, for $199. It just doesn’t have the auto empty bin feature.
Already have it. I just need to unboxed it. Then I was going to park it next to the rumba and see how it does. The price is great on the Wyze vacuum To get all those map in features is great
This Roomba has you under it’s spell! Glad to see you have done your obligatory pet shot on your Roomba. I do like the mapping feature. I guess I should have waited a bit longer!
It does. I like cool tech and can appreciate how some really smart people figured out the mapping and feeling around with the sensor. Mapping is awesome. But this vacuum cost twice as much as yours. The one you have is a good price to performance. Thanks Larry, have a great day.
nice video!!! does it scuff your base boards? and if yes have you done anything to prevent it
I have not noticed any scuffing. It really is gentle especially when it knows where it is going with mapping.
Is there any smart vacuum with an option to vacuum multiple floors? I have no issue carrying it to another floor once a week but I’m not in the market to buy one for every floor.
According to iRobot, you can save up to 10 unique floor plans. Here is the page store.irobot.com/default/roomba-vacuuming-robot-vacuum-irobot-roomba-i7-7150/i715020.html I have not tried it yet.
I got a Roomba i3+ and it is great but if you want to the living room you have to bring it to the are and line it up and press clean and it will not go to the dock if you bing it to an are to go to the dock you have to press clean on the app or roomba. Overall it is great if you best vacuum your house all at the same time.
Craig do you have any experience with smart blinds? Would love to see a video!
No I do not. I do want to try to find some for my windows. I like the IKEA ones. I haven’t use them yet. But I like that they’re low profile. But my windows are too wide to get those. I am on the search and will follow up with a bit video if I find something good. Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry I’m not able to help now.
@@CraigsTechTalk sounds great! Love your videos, keep up the great work!
These robots remind me of the 1984 movie Runaway with Tom Selleck. And SkyNet. 😉
I have a shark that works similarly. Glad you found something that really sucks in your life.
I got a Shark R85 and got my parents a Shark R101AE as it had the dual brushes that move slower, more suction for the hardwood and tile, and no bags for the auto emptying....
My sister got the Roomba - the shark does better with hardwood and tile. Roombas do better with carpets, but she doesn't have much carpet...
Very cool you got yourself and your parents a shark. I’ve heard great things about them. A big factor for me was the self empty bag and more importantly a huge discount price because of sales. But without that I was looking at the shark self empty. Thank you for sharing your experience and your sisters experience. Thank you also for watching. Have a great day.
Check out electronic dogs, they don't shed or eat or make messes.
Like my Roomba, but I don’t like the fact that it needs a lit room. Looking at one the the Lidar vacuums
That is interesting that it needs a lit room. I did not know that. The Wyze vacuum I am going to try next has LIDAR and mapping.
@@CraigsTechTalk Look at the Deebot brand, They have a lot of the same features as roomba, at a fraction of the cost.
I bought the i4 first and then got the i7 second. The i4 now works in my office while the i7 does the rest of the house.
Now I want a roomba
They are awesome. Sorry for making you want one. I was excited to share this one. It is some cool tech. Thanks for watching.
My echo's also say that but the roomba still cleans it. I think it's just a bug in the skill.
Seems brilliant , but what do you do with vacuuming upstairs?
Our dogs don’t go upstairs. Safe cat territory upstairs. We still pull out the Dyson vacuum.
You just take the Roomba vacuum unit upstairs, put it down and press Clean.
@@richardb2343 then how do you vacuum the stairs?🤷🏻♂️
@@scotiajinker8392 Aaaahhh... That you can't. Just a hand brush.
@@richardb2343 I’ve arthritis in my hands , that’s a no from me.
Wyze robot vacuum is amazing
That is good to hear. I have to open mine still.
@@CraigsTechTalk The Roomba sounds really great and is likely better. As you referenced sometimes it is cost prohibitive and the wyze may have solved that! My issue was kids and baby things everywhere and this vacuum does a good job
I bought an i6+ which is the same but only available on Amazon. I bought for the same features you mentioned. The wife loves it.
What is an i6?
I got 4 dogs and just ordered a roomba. I of my dogs hate vacuums and will try to eat them tho
We had the old bumper type Roomba that we used for several years. Then we purchased the Rumba 960 which is a smart Rumba. We love it! We have a 1,400 sq. ft. house that Rumba automatically vacuums ever day. I only wish we had put out a few extra bucks and got the self cleaning and one that you can program to clean only specific rooms.
Can ANYONE tell me how to connect my wife's phone to my Roomba i7. Mine is connected with no problem.
yea so i guess i have to get one
That’s funny. Sorry to influence you. I do love mine though. It is awesome. Thank you for watching.
I’m sorry for tempting you to get one. I do love mine and it is awesome though. If you do decide to get one I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching.
A lot of ppl say the emptying base is one of the loudest things you’ll ever hear. Trust me when i say, that is an understatement. One small tip. Never schedule it to vacuum after you go to sleep.
Roborock Kicks Roombas butt, check them out next
I’ve heard great things about Robo rocks. I should check them out. I am afraid my wife may kill me have too many of the same show up though. Thanks for watching and the suggestion.
@@CraigsTechTalk The following is a bit of an information dump about Roborocks so I do apologise but I encourage you to read it.
Roborock navigation is far superior to Roomba navigation. There's no other way to put it. It works just as well in the dark as it does in the light & creates a map on its first run since it uses a laser-based system instead of a camera-based system. The only laser-navigation Roborock that doesn't support multiple-floor mapping is the original S5 but it's over three years old & doesn't represent what the company currently has to offer.
Roborocks also have significantly bigger battery capacities than every Roomba (Including the $900 Roomba s9) & last for about two hours on medium power & up to about 3 hours on low power. Most Roborocks are also slightly quieter than Roombas (Depending on the model) & have far better navigation efficiency. Based on experience, it's roughly one minute of cleaning time for each square metre of area. (About 10 square feet). So you'll have to deal with less noise for less time.
Roborocks also have built-in mops (Apart from the S4 series) whereas iRobot makes you pay for a separate mopping robot. The Roborock mops are simple attachments but buying an S5 Max or S6 MaxV will yield some good results considering that their main purpose is vacuuming.
The main problem with Roborocks is that they don't yet have an auto-empty bin but Roborock has announced one that will be compatible with their (Currently unreleased) S7 model that they announced on their TH-cam channel for CES this year.
However, there's currently a problem with carpets where the brush just stops spinning as soon as the Roborock gets on a carpeted surface. Roborock seems to be brushing it off at the moment (No pun intended) but I'm hoping they're working on the problem behind the scenes. It seems to be affecting every model except the S4 & S5 which have both been discontinued. As such, I would only recommend Roborocks for those with primarily hard floors until the issue is fixed.
If you want to get your first Roborock, the S5 Max is a good one to start with. It has a higher battery capacity than the i7, an electronically controlled mop & four different airflow settings so that you can balance noise & battery consumption with performance on a whim. However you will be sacrificing an auto-empty bin if you use it as your main robot vacuum.
However, the model you choose is ultimately up to you or even if you choose to buy one at all. That's just my recommendation
After the S7 releases, buying the Roomba s9 without the auto-empty system is going to be a giant waste of money unless you desperately need that deep carpet cleaning
The clean this room function needs a sister MAP this room to allow me to tell Roomba to explore THAT room for missing areas.
My Roomba is family
That’s awesome. I can see how that happens. Thanks for watching.
I loved my old, less smart Roomba to keep up on the cat hair and dust... until my cat had an accident that I wasn’t home to clean prior to Roomba’s schedule. Now that I find I have to manually trigger it, I don’t use it as much. Beware pet messes, or you will be deep cleaning waste and or vomit from the tiny rollers for hours. If they added some sort of next gen technology to recognize when it’s coming up on a liquid or large item, then I would upgrade to the one with the bin. if only my cats enjoyed riding it, then the gratuities from TH-cam videos would offset the cost...
@3:35 wait did he just says it's called it's negro cleaning?
I instantly paused an ran to the comments 😳😂
"Vacuum Wars" channel says that the RoboRock S5 Max is better and is much less expensive. It works in the dark too.
The great thing with iRobot products is parts availability and the fact that you can replace most serviceable parts yourself with just a screwdriver.
@@richardb2343 And you think that RoboRock doesn't?
@@ReevansElectro No idea. I'm vouching for iRobot because I have used them twice in 5 years. Have you used RoboRock for spares and done repairs easily yourself with a screwdriver? If you have, you can vouch for them 😁
$800 on Amazon? I think I’ll do my own vacuuming. Cool gadget though.
My roomba gets lazy - I mean she'll spend a lot of time in some rooms and completely forgets about others - I've only her a couple of months and seems think she's getting away with something!!!
If it’s not from IRobot, its not a roomba
Good Promotion for iRobot 😏
That would be any tech video that says anything nice about a product. If you are implying that this is a paid or or sponsored video, you are out of line. This product has been purchased with my money and I disclose any sponsored videos..
)
Roombas are wayyy to overpriced for what they can do. Expecially when you take into consideration that they still don't have an LDS.
They cost to much money shark cost way last
Worst purchase of my adult life. On the second day it could not dock to the base anymore. Waste of time and money.
One reason not to buy! It’s total crap!
