iRobot Roomba i7+ (i7556) WiFi connected Robot Vacuum

Product Information

The i7+ will detect objects only once it’s made contact with its bump sensor so could end up chewing a cable. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. In testing, the i7+ was able to handle various floor types including hardwood, tile, and vinyl without issue. The Clean Base is a major step forward that I hope will trickle down to iRobot's midrange product line over time.

It did get caught on a power cable at one point, but that kind of thing can happen to any robot vacuum cleaner. Smart mapping also allows you to add “Clean Zones” for high traffic areas and “Keep Out Zones” to ensure that the i7+ avoids specific spots. The whole point of a robot cleaner is that it cleans your floors by itself so how it goes about doing this is important to understand. To take on jobs in a variety of spaces, the iRobot® H1 Handheld Vacuum includes three specialised accessories: an upholstery tool, a crevice tool and a 2-in-1 combination tool for quick dusting anywhere.We only carry out our tests on hard 90-degree edges to keep objectivity, so we’re pretty sure that the robot vacuum can climb rounded edges/obstacles even better. Once your Roomba i7+ has uploaded detailed maps of your room layouts, it will assume a much more efficient cleaning pattern of pacing across each room in as straight of lines as possible. There’s a camera in the centre and at the front is the RCON sensor, which allows the i7+ to find its dock and virtual boundary marker. We bring this innovation to you by designing and building robots to enhance life for you and your family.

You can focus on your busy schedule and rely on the intelligence of the Roomba® i7/i7+ Robot Vacuum to take care of the cleaning. But if it does get into trouble while running, it alerts you on the app and tells you what’s wrong so you can fix it quickly and easily. After that, you can schedule the Roomba® i7+ Braava jet® m6 to clean certain rooms at certain times or have the robots clean an entire level of your home.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.

Although Roomba didn’t make the first robot vacuum as many people believe, it certainly popularised the appliance. However, beware that, if you ever change or reset your Wi-Fi network, chances are that you'll have to act out this process all over again.

Csweepio knocked over my cat’s water bowl twice before I realised I could do this, so it’s a feature I’m now grateful for. However, the iRobot Roomba i7 obviously can’t achieve a perfect result in corners because of its round shape. Once connected with either service through the iRobot companion app, you can quite literally say, “Hey Google, clean the master bedroom,” and the Roomba i7+ will undock and bee-line it straight for the room(s) you requested.

She’s particularly interested in environmentally conscious brands and products that save people time and money. We would say because of it’s impressive ambition, sometimes our i7 had to be rescued from getting trapped in places, or from trying to suck up items too large – a post-it note proved too big a challenge.
