Roomba i7+

I absolutely love my iRobot vacuum machine in my home because it makes cleaning so easy. I love the vacuum for cleaning the whole house with a press of a button. The mop product easily steam cleans all my floors with just water. This makes cleaning easy and these products really work.

There was one occasion where we came home and Vaud had knocked over a $500 glass floor lamp. Luckily it rolled onto the couch and then gently onto the floor. It could have been very expensive though.

The other thing that isn't great is the charging contacts. The app reminds you to clean them roughly once a month - if you don't do this then the vacuum doesn't charge and does some very weird things. Surely there's a material that iRobot could use for the charging contacts that doesn't need so much maintenance? 

Finally, if the robot is not on the charger, it goes from 100% - 0% battery in under a day. I'm guessing this is some kind of software issue that can be fixed? 

I'm not really sure why, but we've named our vacuum "Vaud". Vaud is an iRobot Roomba i7+. Vaud is very thorough and cleans our apartment multiple times a week. She's also generally pretty good at staying out of areas where she's not supposed to go. 

I love the map in the iRobot app and the ability to get the Roomba to only clean certain areas of the apartment. We also have the Cleanbase bin - this saves so much time emptying the vacuum after each clean. In general we've found the bags last around a year, which is way more than expected!

Cool. Easy. Surprisingly durable. Can handle dog fur. 

I'm very happy with my Roomba overall (the app is actually great as well), but I feel like we're still way off the robot revolution that we've been promised. It's stupid, makes mistakes, gets stuck, and runs out of battery in the wrong room without returning to base, yet it's still a product that I would buy again – it's just better than any other alternative.

I like the sleek design and cleaning of the parts is actually quite easy to do and doesn't require constant maintenance so far.
