I’ve only used the lighthouse a couple times with my i7+ due to the excellent mapping function, but I’ve found that if you place the lighthouse on the opposite side of the doorway, it allows the vacuum to get much closer to that entryway.
Around the corner aiming across the opening.
Thanks for the tip!!! Make sense 😂
See your channel has grown☺
7:47 Tea bottle:that's what you get for hating tea!
I am going to order my lighthouse on Friday.
Omg soooooo exited 😇
Me too hahaha 😂😂😂
I’m planning on getting a Roomba because I’m additional to being great vacs, they are very explicit that they value privacy and are responsible with my data.
I’d love a review of robot vac brands discussing privacy and who’s terms are best/worst.
LOL that's what they all say, but then they are in the back room whacking off to your wife as the robotvac spies on you. Edward Snowden confirms.
How does this do on high pile/shag rugs? I just got an i4 and it doesn't seem to do well on my rug so I'm thinking about switching to this one if it can vaccuum the rug.
1:44 NO the side brush is not faster than your car! LOL
Awesome video 👏
Thank You My Long Term Supporter 😊😊😊!!! Hope work isn't treating you badly 😬
@@RobotMasters 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I could watch better if you slowed down a bit, and used a body mounted microphone... I have trouble following accented speech (to me) when it has that "empty room" echo... that's just me tho ;)
Your topic and coverage are great, but I could not follow what you said in the beginning due the speed with which you spoke. By the time you demonstrated, however, it made sense.
Thanks for the tip, will work on this 👍
I like i8+'s faceplate color 😄
Yeah gives it a nice look, also I have seen some cool skins you can get.
Have you checked if these WiFi-enabled robots can send notifications on smartbands and smartwatches?
Yes the Roomba can send a notification on both the Apple Watch and Samsung smartwatches. The neato botvac allows you to install an App for the Apple Watch and you can control certain function of the robot directly from the watch. The Samsung powerbots have the same thing for their Samsung watches.
Great review and comparison. But can I suggest you get a lapel mic? The ambient room noise is so bad, I can barely understand you.
Ok
I just saw i7+($1000 CAD) and i8+($1100 CAD) on sale for the same price $750CAD. So I bought the i8+ I hope it’s decent because I have a bunny and doggo and I like to do a deep clean with a vacuum 1-2 a week and then mop but my dog has severe dust allergies so I’m hoping this will help lessen any dust build up over the week.
I hope it’ll help both doggo and bunny since bunnies are also sensitive to dust because they’re so low to the ground it can cause respiratory problems because dust and anything can get stuck in their little noses.
These robot vacuum can help keep the dust down especially if you run them 3-5 times a week. I di recommend a throughal vacuum by hand every month or so.
Can you vacuum out the disposal bags and reuse? Great video.
Thanks yes you can vacuum out the bag and empty out the contents. Keep in mind after a few empty the bag will start to degrade so it best to dispose after that.
Can you try putting the i8’s bin in the e5 and seeing if it can self empty?
It will fit but e5 won't recognize the self emptying bin or empty it.
The Deebot OZMO T8+ and the Roomba I8+ are the same price. Which one would you get.
Hmm hard choice, both have unique features. I would get the iRobot i8+ for homes that are messier and have a lot pet hair. Found the dual extractor bars to be easier to clean the hair off. The T8+ offers every feature imaginable. Lidar, the ability to live stream the front facing camera, an optional vibrating mopping system. One way audio output. So if you want a fully featured robot the T8 hard to beat.
First, thanks for all the great videos! I'm trying to decide which vacuum would be best. I have ~2500 sqft single floor home with pets. I'd really like auto-empty function. I was debating between the Ozmo T8+ and the Roomba i8+. What would you recommend? I'm open to other robot suggestions too. Thanks!
Hello 👋I would go with the Roomba i8+. Does better with pet hair and the brush rolls are easier to clean the pet hair off.
Random question, can you make a video on your trash cans lol, they look like they operate via sensors. I've been looking to purchase a touchless garbage bins and would love to hear your thoughts on them. Thanks 😊
LoL hahaha, I got them at Costco. They use 6 AA batteries and have a touch less motorized lids. I do recommend getting a AC power adapter as the batteries only last 3-6 months. You can use rechargeable batteries too. There a slot where you can add your own air freshener. For the most part I like the trash cans. Downside they go through a lot batteries.
@@RobotMasters thanks for the info 😊
Can we do Multi-floor Maps i.e 1st floor one map with some restrictions/boundaries and second floor another map with some restrictions/boundaries. I want to know whether this can model i7+ or i8+ can be used for 2 floors? Can someone who is using it can let me know please......Thanks in advance
Yes the i8/i7 have multi map saving where each map can have their own unique Rooms, Keep Out Zones. I believe you can save up to 10 different maps.
The self emptying bin seems nice, but you still have to clean the filter I’m guessing.
Yeah and depending on usage recommended to replace every 3-6 months.
@@RobotMasters Thanks Nathan. With 4 dogs I have to clean the filter everytime and I vacuum twice a day. Doesn't make sense to get a self emptying bin.
Man, you are talking way too faster than I think. Slowdown man to make your videos brilliant! Thanks for putting together an excellent video. You have demonstrated and explained everything thoroughly.
Thanks 😊
Some people prefer it fast. I do. I am here for a quick review.
It's a 100 bucks cheaper for costco members than the i7+, so good deal. It's tempting to try a Roomba. I've never used one. Do they standalone iRobot mops work better than the integrated mops on the high end robots? I'm thinking of that new one with the forgettable name with cleanbase and AI - the ecovacs T8 or something like that. Or my personal fav, Roborock.
Yes the Brava Jet m6 is the best performing mopping robot that I tested. If you do try the roomba let me know how you like it
@@RobotMasters Oh, you know I will! I was very happy with the link to the reconditioned Roborock S4 I found in one of your videos.
Hey why not you review the Shark Vac Mop Pro cordless mop.
If I get one to review I will review it. I have a bunch of other products I have plan to review.
When installing what do I choose in the app? I don't see the i8plus
What options do you see?
Where to get the bags refill? Thanks.
You can find them through Amazon or EBay
So if it’s longer battery life than the i7 can you swap batteries
Yeah there a lot room to install a larger battery in the i7+, so you could put the i8+ battery in there as long as the voltage and amps are the same and the battery connection didn't change.
you have the Costco too
Yes I do!!÷
what is the difference between the iRobot Rommba i8 Plus and the Rommba i7 Plus?
I8+ is a Costco exclusive, has slightly longer battery life around 20% and comes with some additional accessories out of the box like virtual wall boundaries and extra self emptying bags. The i7+ can be bought everywhere.
I saw this in Costco today, the tower is much smaller than it looks on videos. Has it gotten smaller over the years kind of hard to count for the $699 price tag now.
Hmmmm, I don't think the tower size has changed, maybe it an optical illusion on camera 🤔
@@RobotMasters I have had them for years. The first light houses were about twice as wide and needed a pair of c batteries. They also only did beams and no halos. However they had an option on how far the beam would be. It had a 6 foot and 10 foot option.
@@Rite1010. That cool, I remember the old style light houses. With the new models you can either do a halo or straight 10 ft beam. I don’t think you can adjust the distance.
@@RobotMasters no. They don't adjust the distance anymore. The only time I see needing less than 10 foot beams is for doorways or maybe christmas trees in corners. I like the new ones better honestly because if I just want a temporary no-go zone I can whip that out rather than going in the app and making one, then going back in later to remove it. I also don't need 3 of them to make a halo like the old ones would require
5:57 Roomba:I hate tea!
Does it change suction strength on hardwood vs carpet?
No a single power level that can't be changed
@@RobotMasters i wonder why that is. Doesn't seem very efficient. Another video i watched said the i7+ was strong on carpet ~20 cfm and
@@hattiegreen2867 They could of changed the robot ability to change power levels via a software update, but from the time period I reviewed the i7+ and i8+ the robot couldn't increase it vacuum motor power. It was only a single level. Both these robots don't have a carpet sensor to boost up suction. From the research I seen the 7 CFM is what most people get. That at the extractor port, now if you test at the motor area you will get a closer number around 20 CFM.
can you please tell me how to create a new job with roomba i8+? It does not give me that option in my app. Also, when I move my roomba to the upstairs it creates a map right over my first floor map which I don't want to change. thank you
So with the Roomba make sure you create a map first for both levels. Once the map is created the robot should ve able to determine what map it is on once you physically push the button. You can start a new job in the top right hand corner of the App. It will have you select the rooms you want to clean or you can clean everywhere.
@@RobotMasters oh crap, I wish I would have known that sooner. No wonder the mapping on the second floor wants to map over my first floor map. So does that mean I should reboot it and start from the beginning? What is the best way to reboot it or restore it to factory settings? I really appreciate all of your help and your prompt response. You’re the best!
@@sbm1961 Hmmmm the robot shouldn’t delete the main map. I would just have it create a new map for the other level aka do a mapping run. Make sure you do a complete mapping runs which should take 1-3 sessions before moving back to the other level.
@@RobotMasters good morning. I hope I’m not waking you up! Do I need to physically move the docking station with the Roomba for each level? Or do I just bring the Roomba upstairs, start the mapping process and let it die out wherever it ends? I’m determined to try and resolve this issue without having to reset it to factory settings. Thanks again.
@@sbm1961 For the initial mapping process it best to have the docking station.
is it even worth getting camera based robot vacuums anymore? I heard it's not, and that LIDAR vacuums are the best
The main reason to get a camera based system is for the durability. Cameras have no moving parts so they tend to be more reliable. Overtime Camera systems can be more advance if they incorporate better hardware and software. Tesla uses camera for their self driving system over Lidar. For now Lidar sensor for robot vacuums offer live mapping, higher resolution maps, better object recognition and navigation.
@@RobotMasters ah I see those are good points. Thanks for explaining
@@leeroymlg4692 Plus CIA can use it to spy on you. So yes, good stuff if you are NSA agent.
@@jzizzles7799 lol doubt it
@@leeroymlg4692 Edward Snowdwn ain't laughing. His coworkers were when they were browsing through private photos on the iphone kiddies!
i just saw one robot i8+ in costco 🤣
Yes 1st to view and comment!
LoL 🤔😮😂😂😂
Would you know the difference between the roomba i6+ from the i7+ and i8+? I’m guessing it’s all the same stuff lol
I don't know much about i6 but the main difference of the i7 and i8 is the 20% better battery life.
@@RobotMasters witch one has more battery?
@@FizysVibinMemes The i8 has the longest battery life. Keep in mind all the models have the ability to return and recharge if they run low on power. Also they can return back to where they left on the cleaning job.
What about the ROOMBA i6?
Haven't looked into that model yet.
@@RobotMasters it’s on Amazon.
@@MrBlueCreeper Ok I look at it
yeah seems like the i8+ but not an Costco exclusive
In 2 years they really shrink the self emptying bin
Sorry it's the j8+ now. Amazon said is going to or has bought irobot. Wonder is this China vacumm companies trying to get the bin detecting technology by having Amazon buy irobot
The LIDAR system on the Roborocks and Ecovac is soooooo much better.
Yeah Lidar been offering more features than Camera based system.
I got a Roomba i7+. Should i upgrade and get the Roomba i8+?
No the i7+ has everything the i8+ has interms of features and performance
@@RobotMasters Oh The answer is no then. If you upgrade, well done, you bought the same robot vacuum twice. If you have an i7+, you are good to go.
And another thing, they need to lower the price.
@@bernardfriedman532 Yeah I notice on Amazon the i6+ is more than the i8+ 😳
@@RobotMasters I haven't looked yet on amazon.
Do they mop or just sweep?
The Roomba just sweep and vacuum. They have a separate robot either the Braava Jet m6 or their smaller 240 that just mops.
@@RobotMasters thank you for answering. One more question; does the braava uses the same charging station? Or would I need to get two separate stations?
@@emmanuelramirez2281 Each of the robots use separate charging stations, and maps. The only thing the share is the imprint link which the WiFi versions of the Roomba will let the mopping robot know when the vacuum done.
A very useful video, but I would appreciate a bit less screaming, arm waiving and throwing stuff around. Too much drama for a vacuum cleaner!
Thanks for your feedback will keep that in mind. Have a nice day!!!
I think he's had too much coffee.
12:15 Warning "Thingy" alert
I can understand one word he's saying.
Me neither
It's a gadget. I could clean that area in 5 minutes.
LOL 😆
Yeah you could do that but what's so fun about manually cleaning yourself, it's more fun to watch a robot doing the cleaning for you...nobody is a fan of cleaning.
Um. What!!!
DUDE! Slow down, you are hard to understand!
Thanks for the tip will do!!
You talk way to fast-slow down and be clearer
Thanks for the advice will do!!! Have a nice day
Is he speaking English?
