i7+

Over the past few weeks, we have been testing the iRobot Roomba i7+ in our home. While we have published a few articles, we felt that full review wouldn't happen until we had spent ample time with our Roomba. With 3 young kids, our house gets dirty a lot, and even I was skeptical with how well the Roomba would perform, given our cramped living space and overly messy children. Exactly how well did this iRobot product perform? Let's take a look.

Our home is just a few short weeks away from being torn apart and opened right up, but until then, Robby the Roomba is zooming around some fairly cramped quarters, most notably in our dinning room. Until today, anytime I sent Robby on a cleaning run in my dinning room, I would lift the chairs up onto the table as I would when I normally vacuumed the room by hand. Today after lunch, I decided to leave the chairs on the floor, and see how Robby navigated this mess.

Robot vacuum cleaners have come a really long way in the last 20 years, and like they were when the industry started, Roomba finds themselves on top. The company behind Roomba, iRobot, was generous enough to send the Roffel household the Roomba i7+ device to use in our home. While we received the product free of charge, these opinions are our own!
