Which one should you buy?
Ok, so we’re at the end of this comparison-still not sure which model is right for you? Depending on what exactly you’re looking for, you may find that one Roomba to edges out the others.
The Roomba j7+ is the best pick if you’re looking for:
Smart Membership: If you don’t want the initial stick shock of purchasing a Roomba outright, the Smart Membership is a great option. Get all the benefits of a robot vacuum, at only $29/mo. as well as the ability to upgrade your robot every 3 years.
Less maintenance: The 60-day capacity of the dust bin is double the capacity of the i7 or the S9. This means less time tending to your Roomba.
Obstacle avoidance: Obstacle avoidance is another great feature of the j7. Especially if you have pets, this lets the vacuum navigate more intelligently while it’s cleaning.
The Roomba i7+ is the best pick if you’re looking for:
Lower cost: This model has the lowest price of all three. It does lack some features, like obstacle avoidance (j7 only), wider brushroll (S9 only), as well as a little suction power, but the cleaning performance was still on par with the other models.
The Roomba S9+ is the best pick if you’re looking for:
Faster cleaning cycles: Because the S9+ had a wider brushroll, that means it can clean the same amount of square footage in less time. If you want a vacuum that gets the job done faster, the S9+ is a nice choice.
Most suction power: If you have carpets and lots of food traffic the extra high suction power may be worth the higher cost.
D-shaped body: The S9 also has the D-shaped body style which poses some advantages for cleaning corners and edges.

please add how user friendly it is to add a map for each floor of the house. this has been a hangup in some robotic vaccums.
@@scorpfelidae2439 iRobot vacuums handle separate floors automatically. You'll see them appear in the maps section. Then you just label them accordingly.
@@ModernCastle thank you. do you take the dust bin to the different floors, too? How do you do this?
@@scorpfelidae2439 No, you'll want to leave that in one place. Just take the robot.
These tests should be done twice with similar dirt burdens.
Success on any single target sample can be affected by the direction of approach to the target samples. i.e. from the front, top, left,s ide etc. depending on the grain or texture of the surface materials.
I think I might be in love with you because you literally have every video I ever need...every time...without fail.
Happy we've got what you're looking for! :)
Amazing, we can know the difference between the three robot very well from the comparing
Thanks!
Awesome and super detail ，I can't believe I watched all the way to the end. Really want to get a robot vacuum this year. It would be great if you could make a comparison for the Roborock vacuum.
Thank you!
As far as Roborock vs Roomba goes...BAM! moderncastle.com/roborock-vs-roomba/
You ask. We deliver.
Actually we delivered many months ago, but the above page compares every Roborock vs every Roomba model (except for the j7+ and S7+, but we'll be add those soon)
I’m excited to buy my first robotic vacuum and wanna get the best bang for the bucks!! Interested roborock’s S7+ looking forward to your next videos reviewing that model and comparing with other models!!

Very nice review. Thanks for making the video!
You're very welcome! Thank you for your kind words.

So awesome video comparison, thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
This was very helpful. Thanks Derek👍🏻

great review, thanks!
You're welcome! And thank you :)
Awesome review. Thank you. I appreciate your input. Bless. 👍🙏🏻
You're welcome! Thank you very much.
Thank you for your sharing this Video. It help me out for my iRobot vacuum 😮
You are most welcome
Thank you for the good tests. I was just watching Vacuum Wars, but their carpet test ‘deep cleaning’ is for a timed 5-minute run over the same small space, which is very unrealistic. Most people would just run the robot vacuum in the default testing where it makes 1 pass (or more if it auto-senses added dirt).
You're welcome. I appreciate the feedback. I always try to create a more authentic test with how people will actually use the vacuum. Anything else and you're right, it's just unrealistic.
very profesinal review and helpfull
You're too kind. Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear it was helpful.
Very helpful! It's good to see those many tests, and detail numbers too. but instead of compare different models for same brand, can you compare different brands, top brands like Roborock, Samsung? Thanks
Thanks!
I think this video would be helpful - th-cam.com/video/9sZk53jTtno/w-d-xo.html
Here are the best 9 robots we've tested out of the 64 we've tested to date.
Hi Derek, Thank you for such informative video. I had a question regarding surface performace, does these robo's perform equally well on tiles?
Yes, all of these models do great on tile, vinyl, wood, and really any indoor hard surface flooring.
Hard surfaces are fairly easy for most robot vacuums when it comes to cleaning. It's the carpet performance where most robots struggle more.
love the review, been the most useful so far. I think i will skip the plus version to save some money. However, any idea how much dirt it can store without the self emptying option? Also i forgot to mention, yours was the ONLY vide that highlighted that iRobot would not function in the dark, so thanks a lot for that info, it's been missed in all specs . Although, :-( there goes my plan of waking up to clean kitchen/dining !!
The bin is something like 0.3 liters, so it won't hold much. You'll need to empty it a couple of times a week most likely (if you're running daily).
If you put a couple of nightlights in the kitchen / dining that should be enough light to operate. It doesn't need much light, but it cannot be completely dark either.
Forget getting a robot vacuum cleaner if you have Persian rugs with tassels or even Kilim rugs for that matter. I got the i7+ and it just didn’t work out. It works fine on smooth surfaces. Hope that helps with your decision making
You may want to just block off that area with the digital map.
I just got the J7+. It's definitely loud while emptying, but it doesn't last long.
Very useful!! I’d like to see a test on the i8+ model from Costco :)
i8+ is identical to the i7+.
i8+ is just a special model distinction for Costco, but functionally it is exactly the same as the i7+.
@@ModernCastle yes
Will you do one featuring the Xiaomi Roidmi EVE Plus? It seems like an interesting candidate, having all the features, but it would be nice to see how it really compares to better known models.
We don't have any immediate plans to review it, but I will add it to the list.
Just bought the j7+ for $650. Originally had the i3+ but wanted the capability to set no-go zones and to clean certain areas instead. Figured pay the extra $250 for those features.
Nice. I'd love to hear what you think about it once it arrives.
Was it worth it?
@@ModernCastle It was definitely worth it as we have it run once a day through the kitchen instead of through the whole house. If you have the budget for it and like to have a clean house and save time this is perfect for you
@@oDahaka Nice! I'm glad to hear it's been a good fit for you.
@@oDahaka thanks for your reply!
Wow, very helpful👍 hope u guys can test on Roborock S7+，Hard to decide which new robot with auto-emptying feature should buy
for my new house; More comparisons from a competitor will help a lot. Finger crossed
Thank you!
You can find our full review of the S7 here - moderncastle.com/roomba-j7-plus-review/ (video review is on that page as well)
Got a i7 and was so impressed i got a j7 and they are amazing would recommend to any won never got stuck
That's great! Glad to hear they are working well.
That’s interesting. How would you explain the slightly worse performance on carpet for the J7 ? What model should I go with ? My house is mostly hardwood except one big carpet in one room ( medium), one carpet ( medium) which is pretty small ( 16 sq ft), and a little rug in my kitchen. I‘m not sure if I should go with the i7 or J7 because many told me the j7 has a little bit less power. I have two cats but they are clean 😂.
Honestly, the slightly worse performance of the j7 surprised me. I don't have any good explanation for it. Based on my understanding, the j7 is built on the same basic platform as the i7, so performance wise it should be identical.
Can you, or Have you, done a test on the Ecovacs T9+ ? (not the AIVI version, the 3D version)
These Roomba vacuums seems to push the dirt around on your tests - especially on the hard flooring, yes they get most of it in the end, but it flicks stuff everywhere. Would love to see how it compares to the Ecovacs.
I've got tested the T9+
But we have tested their equally high end N8+ - moderncastle.com/ecovacs-deebot-n8-plus-pro-review/
In terms of cleaning performance it lacked behind Roomba's flagship lineup on low and high pile carpet, though it is comparable on hardwoods.
Hey, how is the J7+ for pet hair on hardwood floors?
We haven't tested yet, but the human hair test is promising. I would not expect the j7+ to have any issues with pet hair.
Living in a condo. No carpet but a few rugs. What would be the optimum model. Self- emptying is a must.
If you don't have much carpet you'd be better off with a Roborock. I'd suggest the Roborock S7 MaxV - amzn.to/3EpgZEA
Or S6 MaxV if you need something less expensive
Pls give me advice: I live in appartment 120m2, without pets + carpets + door sill, low light (in winter in Norway), which one should I go for? Thank you in advance!
With that setup I'd go with the Roomba i7+ - amzn.to/2XpxU3C
It's a small enough area that you really don't benefit from the advanced navigation from the j7+ and S9+.
Since you have no pets, the obstacle avoidance is also less valuable on the j7+.
i7+ covers all of your needs and it's the least expensive, so you'll save a little money.
J7 plus or the Roborock S7 plus? Would be great if you can compare these two before Christmas! lol plan to buy one for my parents.
I should be able to at least do a contextual comparison before Christmas and I'll update it on this page moderncastle.com/roborock-vs-roomba/
But I doubt I'll have time to do a video comparison.
Ultimately it comes down to 2 factors...
1) j7+ has obstacle avoidance, this means it gets stuck less and is a slightly better navigator as a result
2) S7+ has a mopping attachment, being able to vacuum and mop at the same time is pretty awesome if you have any significant level of hard surface flooring
Also, the j7+ is slightly better when it comes to cleaning carpets. Beyond that, they are both very similar high performance robots. Honestly, pretty hard to go wrong either way.
Thank you for the great videos. Can you tell me what your best pick for a mop/vacuum robot would be for hardwood floors only (lvt). My pick right now is the roborock s7 without the automatic empty. And then upgrading to the bagless auto empty at some point. Looking at what’s coming, though, I’m wondering if I should wait or just get something cheaper before I invest that much into it. Other top picks include narwhal, the dreametech w10, or a combo of the braava m6 and roomba i7. I have about 1000sf to clean, pretty small.
My 2 favorites are the Roborock S7 (amzn.to/3sndaJt) with the auto empty dock and the Narwal T10 (amzn.to/2R7uFja).
If you only have hardwood floors I would go with the Narwal. If you have any level of mixed floors I would go with the Roborock S7.
The Roborock S7 and Narwal T10 are the 2 robots that I use as my personal daily drivers in my home, which is 100% hardwood / tile floors.
Then I use the Roomba J7+ and Braava M6 as the 2 primary cleaners in my office / studio, which is a mix of carpet rugs, hardwood, and tile.
@@ModernCastle Thank you very much for the response. I actually went a whole different direction and went with the Viomi V3 Max, on sale for $299. I just wanted to try my first robot at a lower price point and upgrade once I realized what my specific needs are. I think there's a good chance I go with the narwhal. However, I really like the look of the Viomi with it's y-shaped mop pattern. I haven't yet seen many review on it, though.
@@MediumRareShorts Sounds good. Would love to hear what you think.
Viomi is a smaller / newer brand, so we don't know much about them yet. We did a sponsored video for them a few months ago, so I got to try out the robot a bit.
Overall, it seems to be a fine robot, although it doesn't have the same type bleeding edge features you'll see on more high end robots.
I hope it works out for you!
@@ModernCastle Hi, just wanted to give a my review of the Viomi V3Max. After 2 weeks, I'm very impressed with it. The navigation seems on par with most other modern robots I've seen. I've had zero issues setting up zones and schedules. The vacuuming and mopping have both been great. I have all hardwood floors, so mopping was a big deal. I've seen reviews on most every mopping robot and I think this one is competitive with any of them. The Y-mopping feature it has seems to work very well. I haven't seen any other robots with it. When you set a zone to be mopped twice, the robot will automatically go in alternating patterns, so they criss-cross with each other, and also do the y-mopping. It has been better at mopping than I am with a handheld mop. You can also mop and vacuum at the same time. The only downsides I have so far are that the dust tank and water tank are both relatively small compared to other robots. But that is not an issue for me because my place is only 1000sf. Also, they have an accessory for a 700ml water tank, which I bought, but it does not work. The robot won't recognize it as installed and won't run. I ordered another to see if that's an issue with all of them or just one. There are no other reviews for that item on Amazon, because I think they just started selling it. I've also had some issues with pet hair tangles in their brush. I would probably prefer an all-rubber brush like in the roborock s7, but they don't offer that option. Because I have no carpet, I've actually started running it with the brush completely removed and suction set to the highest power, and this has worked quite well for me.
All in all, based on what I have seen in other reviews, I think this is a fantastic robot, and considering I got it for $300 brand new, I think it's pretty hard to beat in value. I'd love to see it reviewed by someone like yourself. If you're interested, I'd be happy to send you mine to try out.
@@MediumRareShorts Thanks for sharing your experience, Alex! Sounds pretty solid and perfect for your home.
Great video! Any chance you guys are going to review the to Samsung AI+ robot?
www.samsung.com/us/home-appliances/vacuums/jet-bot-robot/jet-bot-ai-plus-robot-vacuum-with-object-recognition-vr50t95735w-aa/
This one?
It's not one I've really looked at until now, but I can try and get it on our to test list.
@@ModernCastle thanks for the reply! Yeah I was curious what you guys would think of this one.
@@joelsimon3732 You're very welcome!
I have no carpets at all in my house.pls suggest which robot would be best for hardfloor cleaning and alsp which avoids all obstacles like wires etc
Roborock S8 Pro Ultra would be my #1 pick - www.amazon.com/Pro-Ultra-Self-Washing-Self-Refilling-Self-Emptying/dp/B0BVB5PTDK?tag=mc_1001-20
Thanks for the detailed review. If the self emptying units only need to be emptied every 60 days or so, what about the rollers and the filter? I currently have a 980 and that bin needs to be emptied weekly. At the same time, the rollers and filter need to be cleaned. Is this not the case with the j7+? Can the rollers and filters make it the 60 days as well?
Really just depends on your home.
These self empty bins aren't going to be miracle workers for your rollers and filters. If you're finding you need to clean those out regularly then that is likely going to continue to be the case.
@@ModernCastle Thanks for the response. When I try to convince my wife that the self emptying feature will save time, she counters with "the rollers and filter will still require regular cleaning." I was hoping you would tell me about some new and improved roller/filter technology that assists in the 60 day window. 😎
@@edjlennon It will still save time, but every robot (no matter how automated) still at some points need some maintenance TLC
What was the obstacle avoidance like with the s9+ and i7+. I know the j7+ is better, but didn't the other two avoid stuff as well?
The S9+ and i7+ do not have obstacle avoidance systems.
Roomba just updated the software a few months ago and the s9+ will avoid some things now. Not like the J7+ but still avoids some things.
I have huskies that shed a lot which one do you recommend?
S9+ would be the best choice for large quantities of pet hair
For house with pets which one would you pick?
I'd go with the Roomba j7+ amzn.to/3tOb2Me
In terms of cleaning power, it's a little behind the S9+. However, the obstacle avoidance system is worth losing a little bit of cleaning power.
It will prevent the the robot from a poop-catastrophe and avoid other common objects as well. It just brings the overall usability to the next level.
Thoughts on the best one for cats/pets?
j7+ amzn.to/3tOb2Me, since it has pet waste detection it's really a no brainer...
The other robots wouldn't recognize it and would drive straight through it.
Can bugs/creeps escape the dustbin in the base station ? Otherwise it’s better to emptying after every cleaning session.
They could escape back into the vacuum. It's possible they could crawl out from there, but it would be incredible difficult (impossible depending size of hug).
How much of elevation van thé i7plus jandle??
About 0.75".
I have arthritis in the spinal cord and most of the body. I need the most effective vacuum and I have seen so many videos that I am a Knott. which is the most efficieeeeeeent?
Roomba j7+ would be the most efficient.
It's obstacle detection means it gets stuck less.
It's self empty dust bin means you don't need to mess with it very often.
I have a house built in the 1940’s with Saltillo tile floors with wide and deep grout between the tiles. And two very messy dogs. Lol I’d love to know how these (and any vacuum) work on tile floors.
I'm familiar with Saltillo tiles living in Arizona (though I haven't owned a house with them). While the deep grout lines are indeed deeper, they aren't anything that any of these models would have trouble with.
If you were going with a more traditional vacuum I'd suggest looking at one of the Dyson V-series with the soft roller head attachment. That soft roller head could better press into the deep grout line. See our comparison here - moderncastle.com/dyson-v15-vs-outsize-vs-v11-vs-v10-vs-v8/
am thinking about buying a used s9plus for 350 or a dreame w10
I'd go S9+ for sure as opposed to Dreame
How about the ROBOROCK s7 Auto-Empty Dock? I've got two dogs around the house
You can find our full review of the S7 here - moderncastle.com/roomba-j7-plus-review/ (video review is on that page as well)
@@ModernCastle Thx ～
@@monicayau983 You're welcome
What about pet hair ? Which one is better ?
They are all basically the same when it comes to pet hair removal. S9+ has a slight edge on carpet due to higher suction power.
Is that the I7 and J7 the same motor and power? Then Why the difference in the amount of dirt picked up?
It's a question I'm asking myself also.
While it's supposed to be the same suction power, I wonder if there is something else different going on with the overall cleaning platform. Roomba doesn't much in the way of really detailed specs.
Because its newer and has some bugs at the moment
8:20 You should've said the S9 averaged 49.7 decibels not the I7
Ah, right you are. Sorry for that mistake! Thanks for catching it though.
What will happen if you have no Internet but still have Wi-Fi? Are you still able to control vacuum cleaner using app?
Hrm...good question. In theory, I think they would still work, however, some features will be disabled (namely the ones that need to communicate with iRobot's servers to work).
i am soo confused for the s7 irobot ..some people love it .. and some hate it .. saying its not worth it .. do you still think the s7 is good ?
The S7 iRobot? That's not a model I am aware of.
Do you mean the i7 Roomba?
Or the S7 Roborock?
Or something else?
where is the j7+ exhaust located?
I don't believe it has one. At least not some exhaust port on the side that's blowing air out of it.
Interesting; I mean the air from the suction has to be expelled. I can't find it on my j7+ either. It could be diffused. It's not obvious like in previous models. If it is being diffused, it is a great design as its exhaust doesn't push dirt around.@@ModernCastle
Does it avoid objects if you don't use Wi-Fi 🤔
Yes, it will still avoid obstacles.
The J7+ has a mopping feature. The robot you tested here is the J7, not J7+. Am I missing something?
The robot featured here is the J7+
You're thinking of the Combo J7+, which has the retractable mop.
J7+ launched around a year before the Combo J7+.
We tested the Combo j7+ here - moderncastle.com/roomba-combo-j7-review/
considering the j7+. However, there is a doorstep about 2 to 3 cm at the kitchen and bathroom. Can the robot pass get over it?
If it's 2 cm it'll make it over that...if it's 3 cm it's possible, but it's also more likely to fail
@@ModernCastle Thanks for your info. We have just ordered one.
@@savannahjeep1166 My pleasure!
Roomba j7 vs roomba s9 please...
It's not really different than what we did in this video.
It's all the same pros and cons, just without the auto empty dust bin.
I have the i8+ (Costco version of the i7+).
How do you like it?
@@ModernCastle After the first full bag in the base got full it's taken over 8 months and the second one isn't full yet.
@@Boodieman72 Wow! That's really impressive.
Get the Shark IQ. Cleans just as well for half the price.
Eh...strongly disagree.
I was massively disappointed in the Shark IQ in our tests.
I hear the new Shark AI is better, but the IQ just wasn't impressive in our tests.
I have trouble getting mine to charge.
How old is the battery?
Got a j7 for Christmas. Tried everything to connect to wifi. Keeps saying wrong password. Taking it back tomorrow.
I guess we're not in the robotic age yet.
How long as your wifi password?
And is it a 2.4 or 5g network?
It finally worked with my sons phone. It said wrong password on mine and my wife's pixel 4s, and my tablet. For some reason it worked first time on my son's phone.
Were gunna try to transfer ownership to my wife's phone and all will be good.
@@michaelgreer8659 Oh nice. Glad you got it figured out.
Does the s9+ not have the obstacles avoidance?
It does detect and avoid obstacles, however, the sensors and systems don't seem to be as sophisticated or high performing as other high end units with obstacle avoidance.
@@ModernCastle thabk you. I had to look and see what year release it was and it's older than the j7+ so I think ill go for that vac and mop model instead since it's the latest besides the j9+ which is like 1300 unlike the j7+ for 1k, without any sales
@@StealthShadowFox J7+ is a great robot. And you're right, it's newer as well. That's a solid pick.
the J7 and i7 use the same motor. General tolerances impact performance.
You make great reviews so I decided to trust you and purchase the roomba j7+ and the product came really damaged!! A fucking week waiting for this and you cam definitely notice that it has been returned A LOT! Be careful, reviews are great but if you are going to spend this kind of money better to do it directly from store.
Tomorrow Im uploading photos in amazon’s reviews
I'm sorry to hear you received a damaged unit. Was it damaged during shipping or before hand? What retailer did you purchase from?
Does the j7 need light, I use it all the time in very dark rooms at morning
No problems so far.
Yes, it needs a decent level of ambient lighting to function properly.
@@ModernCastle another question
Have you had any problems with black carpets etc,
Mine wont drive on my black carpet. Will this be fixed one day, didnt have that problem with my old neato d6
Plus i placed it in a completely dark room and it worked fine…
@@010falcon In my testing and personal use, I have not. However, I have heard that is a common issue. Some dark / black carpets and rugs seem to cause issues, while others don't. I'm not exactly sure what the trigger is.
It's anyones guess if it will be fixed in the future.
@@ModernCastle ok, thank you a lot for taking the time to answer. I really appreciate it, since you didn‘t have to.
I will report back since I am going to call iRobot next week, since for 1000CHF I don‘t expect something like this to happen. Not even my Neato had this problem.
One more thing, throw in a morning schedule for your j7 and see if it works in the dark. ;)
Have wonderful holidays and if I don‘t hear from you again until the new year: „en guete rutsch“ which pretty much mean in swissgerman, a good slide into the new year.
Thanks again.
@@010falcon We actually did end up testing the j7 in the dark after this video...it doesn't work great. It can handle low'ish light conditions, but at a certain point it's just too dark and will not go in those areas.
Thank you for the holiday wishes! I hope you have a wonderful new year and great holiday season as well.
Ça a l'air tellement intéressant.
Dommage que ça ne soit pas en français. La traduction est beaucoup trop rapide, je n'arrive pas du tout à suivre. Et l'affichage de celle-ci est mal faite aussi, ça complique encore plus.
🥺 j'aurais tellement voulu comprendre cette comparaison 😢
Sorry...we don't have anyone who speaks French on our stuff :(
C’est le temps d’apprendre l’anglais
4:10 the j7 has a flashlight
the best is ?
Best is...
S9+ for raw cleaning performance especially on carpet
i7+ for least expensive, while still being very good
j7+ is best for navigating and avoiding obstacles (good if you have a more cluttered house)
@@ModernCastle thanks
@@toxxproduction You're welcome
I had no idea vacuum robot were that noisy.
You made a mistake at 8:21
Oops...sorry about that. The spoken word is correct, the graphic is incorrect.
Good catch!
@@ModernCastle never expected you'd see my comment lol
@@pepperroni4016 I try and review all comments! Though I'm a little behind at the moment.
Would love to hear what you think about my new mattress reviews!
Forgot threshold test, and throw-rug test. I can't make a purchasing decision with the content of your video.
0.75" climbing threshold
Rugs depend. Usually it's no different than carpet.
If it's super thick, has fringe, shag, etc. then no robot is going to handle that well.
We have a 9s plus. After about a year of use the navigation worked poorly Rumba so far is unwilling to provide any supports whatsoever. Very disappointing
Have you tried deleting the map? Often that can help reset navigational issues.
@@ModernCastle several times also did a factory reset. The new map after 4 mapping runs is totally worthless. Until the problems started we lived the 9s plus. Too bad we are having so many problems now
@@kennethdavis6447 Very strange. It's possible there a defective part.
The only other common issue would be to clean every sensor / camera and generally clean the robot as well as you can. As dirt builds up in / around the robot over time that can also cause issues.
@@ModernCastle we’ve cleaned the sensors and cameras. I think it may be a part as well
@@kennethdavis6447 That's unfortunate. I am really surprised iRobot is giving you trouble filing a basic warranty claim.
