Roomba Combo j5+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop – Identifies and Avoids Obstacles Like Pet Waste & Cords, Empties Itself for 60 Days, Clean by Room with Smart Mapping, Alexa​

I really dislike vacuuming, and always put it off. Sadly, dust collects as a result. All this has changed now with the Roomba J5+. I love that this appliance arrives ready to use. The bag is mounted in the home base, the filters are installed, even the rotating brush is already in place. It's basically: unpack, position it, install the app and tell it to Go. I cannot think of any devices of this complexity that are that easy to get going with. Major props to iRobot for this terrific startup experience. I love how quickly and easily this thing has integrated into my household. After a couple of mapping runs and tweaks to the map to add Stay Away zones, I added a daily schedule to have it visit all the rooms on the ground floor and then more or less forget all about it. It wakes up every day, zooms around the place, thoroughly sweeps up the kitchen, dining areas and hallways--avoiding the curious cats--and puts itself way. No more annoying random fluff and little particles lying around. No more guilting myself, "I should really get out the vacuum cleaner and tidy this except I'm too busy right now". I haven't tried out the mopping feature yet, but I fully intend to. But even without that this is a fantastic device that I should have installed several years ago.

Funciona excelente y sí reconoce desniveles o escalones. El único detalle que sí se atora con los cables de algún aparato eléctrico. Por lo demás limpia muy bien.

Overall great purchase and saved me a lot of money. I purchased a preowned J5+ (my J9 is in storage) because I wasn’t looking to spend too much money and I’ve yet to experience issues with my other bots so I figured I’d go with a lower model. With it being preowned, I fully expected nothing was going to come in the box, it would be damaged, or simply not work but I was completely wrong. It worked like a charm, easy to set up, came with all the accessories, instructions, and was nearly brand new outside of a few scratches. Noise level is great, maybe a little louder than the J9+, but definitely tolerable. My roommate says it’s slight louder than her shark vac but super convenient that it has a mopping feature so she can excuse the noise. The suction was great, mapping for the price point is amazing, and the J5+ comes with cord detection which was a must have with all the cords I have lying around; I don’t need to move anything when it can maneuver around the obstacle or cord. Battery life is good so far so I have nothing but positive things to say about a preowned purchase.

Absolutely horrible purchase, waste of money. The performance is not up to par... low suction, it bumps into everything, no object detection, no avoidance, dropped connectivity, never understands commands... overall a poor product...for the exorbitant price paid... I'd like to have a refund and return the item, but it's past the return window of 30 days. I'm honestly very disappointed with the iRobot brand... I expected an upgrade from my entry-level Roomba but it's worse...Competitors in the market come in with a cheaper price and 4 times as much suction power. It's so noisy too. It almost seeks you out to come bump into your foot all the time. They removed the spot cleaning button, why? So dumb. There is no docking button, why? so dumb. They should spend less time on AI mapping (useless) and more time focusing on the basics, sucking up stuff. the mopping feature is basically a microfiber cloth wiping the floor lightly, no motion, streaky finish, it LEAKS, omg it leaks everywhere, so dumb. you have to manually take it out and clean it, so what is the point of paying extra for a "Self empty bin". so dumb!!! I'll never buy an iRobot roomba again. I want a refund on return, but no-one, roomba support or amazon support is willing to do this.

I love this Roomba. I had an older model that you had to empty. I still have it and use it in my barn office. This one is awesome! I can have it clean all the floors in the morning while I'm having my coffee. I have 4 small dogs and 3 cats living inside and it does better than I can do with my Swiffer or my Shark. I don't think I would use it for carpeting. I use my Shark for the carpeted downstairs. Gone are the giant dust bunnies (I call them indoor tumbleweeds). I also love that it empties itself at it's docking station. The machine is pretty quiet compared to my older model. I will warn that when it empties it is very loud for 4 or 5 seconds. My main floor is almost 1800 ft. of cleaning area. It can clean most of it on one charge. I also like its internal mapping. You can specify rooms so you can clean only the rooms you want. The initial mapping takes a few hours but I only had to do that once. After that, it can find new areas when cleaning and let you know. You can also adjust the boundaries and change the room names. You set up quick links in the program. The only problem I am having is setting it up with my Alexa Echo. It is paired and you can see it in the Alexa app but I cannot get Alexa to respond to a clean command.
