Both models allow you to create Keep Out Zones using the iRobot App, which the vacuum will avoid. When the Roomba vacuum encounters a new obstacle, it can take and send pictures of the new obstacle to the iRobot app. It also keeps tabs on pollen count and pet shedding season to give you that extra sparkle when cleaning. Let’s now discuss the i7+ and j7+ Roombas’ designs and see how they are both qualified for the job. The Roomba i7+ The clean base has the following dimensions: height: 48 cm (18.9 inches) x depth: 15 cm (5.9 inches) x width: 18 cm (7 inches). However, your Roomba i7+ won’t come out of box knowing how every room in your home is laid out. It will have to learn them through its first few cleanings. During this process, the cleaning pattern of the Roomba i7+ will look much like that of the Roomba 980, as viewable through the companion app.

The Roomba i7+ has a top-mounted camera that assists in this mapping. You can also name different rooms in your house and instruct your robot to clean a particular room or even schedule multiple cleanings. Both models highlight advanced floor sensing technology that can detect the type of flooring and adjust the suction power accordingly for optimal cleaning performance.Furthermore, the smart vacuum cleaner robot also has a convenient carrying handle (4), so you can easily carry it from floor to floor. The Roomba i7+ boasts a power lifting suction capacity of 1800 Pa, while the j7+ has a suction capacity of 2200 Pa, making it more powerful. You can operate the following touch screen buttons at the robot vacuum’s top: " Clean" (2) (start/stop cleaning process), " Home" (3) (return to charging station) and " Spot Clean" (1) (clean one precise spot).

The two robot vacuums come equipped with the cool feature of multi-surface rubber brushes that effectively remove pet hair without tangling. If the connection issues still persist, you can try resetting the Wi-Fi settings on your Roomba i7. With the iRobot Home app (Android and iOS) you can create custom cleaning programs to vacuum specific areas at the touch of a button or whenever you schedule it. In addition to “Keep Out Zones,” you can create “Clean Zones” for tidying up areas that get the most traffic. So, for example, you can program them to clean under the dining room table after each meal. They also come with a new precision navigation feature for navigation around pet waste and other obstacles.The Roomba i7 Plus doesn’t have an automatic carpet detection function. Thus, it also doesn’t increase the suction power automatically when it drives on a carpet. The percentages may seem relatively low at first, but the result is excellent compared to other top models.
