*I absolutely love this thing for cleaning all flooring surfaces **MyBest.Tools** even does a great job on throw rugs. Highly recommend! Cuts cleaning time in half!*
Nice review on what seems like a very nice product. The place where Roomba lost my sale was at the bags. They’re wasteful and only fill landfills. In addition to the extra cost of having to buy replacement bags. I’ve owned bagless Dyson vacuums for years and have never had a problem with dust or debris escaping the dust chamber.
postbreak My issue is that the bags are far too small and contain excess plastics which is totally unnecessary for a proper seal. These seem designed to maximize recurring revenue without regard for the impact on the environment. A larger bag utilizing a cardboard attachment mechanism would have reduced waste, but wouldn't generate the recurring income. 30 fill capacity is VERY small considering the small onboard bins these vacuums have.
How the hell are you going to empty those bags? wtf? Cut a whole in the bottom or use a spoon to scoop the dirt out? Maybe use centrifugal force and twirl like a ballerina to spin the dirt out. What a dumb comment.
Your video was so helpful to me! I had ordered this vacuum and today when I knew it would be coming, I watched your video and downloaded the irobot app as you suggested. By the time the vacuum came at 7:45 pm, I knew exactly what to do. It took me 5 minutes to prepare, and then whoala! Mom's little helper began to clean....Thank you!
This is a thorough review of the iRobot Roomba i7 plus setup. Thank you so much for this information! It has helped me make a decision about purchasing this particular iRobot.
We need "Roomba Gate" or something. It would be like a cat/dog door, but it would be unlocked when a Roomba comes near it, allowing it to vacuum rooms with closed doors.
I agree with some comments people made that iRobot should let customer exchange/upgrade their original Roomba. Just purchased an 980. Would love to have an iphoneX
Nancy Shen they do. If you bought your roomba from the iRobot website and you want to upgrade within 6 months they tend to allow the upgrade for the price difference
I've had the i7+ for a week and have been on the phone with their support everyday. For beginners it wouldn't map to my phone, my husband needed to go into our router and get the i7's address in order to map it. Second it won't let us edit the dividers to map rooms. We were told that it could take 3-6 times running the map the room service before this would happen. Well we did this about 10 times and still no luck. We our waiting for their elevated support to call us, it has been two days so far. Don't have any hope that this will ever work properly. It is going back in two days if we don't hear back from their support.
at ~17.40, you skipped showing voltage and frequency requirements. would you add video to show voltage and frequency requirements as it is written on the device and where it can be seen on the device . thanks.
dear, what is the adapter or device or charger or automatic clean base input voltage and frequency? is it 100~120v 50/60 hrz or 100~240v 50/60 hrz? can you include pictures in your reply. thanks
lumi 2 If it was pointless then you have to understand that the company’s RD department spends a lot of time, effort and money in making the best product, right?

@@Clankillas You're right I can't afford it. But you're wrong about how this isn't pointless. What's the difference a few air particles? I'm not thinking for consumer who think this product is unnecessary. I'm thinking for the consumer who; like me, doesn't want to spend money on something then keep spending money on it just so it works. Old vacuums had bags. They were replaced by bins\containers so you didn't have to buy more. As a reasonable consumer I believe I have an opinion. Whether you like it or not. Whether it is bias or not. Either way majority of the people will stick with the old Roomba because it's more economically reasonable. This is an early invention it's not perfect and it doesn't have to be. Instead of being arrogant to me let's just agree to disagree. Good day
Blue Whirlw1nd to be fair 2/3 brands of robots that had a self emptying feature, all used bags in the dock. They all also had a similar 900-1000 dollar price range.
It doesn't look like he ever used this. It would be nice to see a review on this after x amount of time. As far as making it where you never mess with the robot. What about hair getting wrap around the rollers. I wonder if there is a way to save money on the bags. Like if we could use cheaper bags but have some attachment which allows us to use them. Something I'm wondering is if they did something about how the robot handles dog crap. It's almost a meme with how many people ran into that problem and had to spend a stupid amount of time it takes to clean up the mess
Craig Bennett II nicca - stop trying to make ‘improvements’ already, when the damn thing has “just” now cone out! I hate it when people are always trying to “re-invent” a wheel, when nothing’s wrong with it. You dont even HAVE the thing, yet you’re talking about improvements on what you watch other people “tell you” about it? Wow, what a dumbass! Listen Einstein, you are a fuccin consumer. You dont get to throw design ideas out as-if YOU could’ve made a better product.
@@Clankillas why can't the bags be emptied, washed and re-used even if only a few times? Our state just banned single use, lightweight plastic bags. Now we are going to throw away a think piece of plastic and some rubber to boot. Don't get me wrong I really want this thing, but I am not that lazy that I wouldn't empty manually when required. Plastic NEVER disappears from the environment. It just breaks down to smaller pieces of plastic.
for those out there that like irobot, i highly recommend buying from hammer schlemmer. unlike the standard i robot warranty they offer a lifetime guarentee on all of the products they sell. for postage i have changed out robots 7 times now and every couple of years when they no longer offer my old model they credit back my original purchase price towards the newer upgrade. i highly reccomend them
Great introduction. I just got mine. The bags is not a big deal. Multiple vacs have bags anyway. One less task I have to do at home after a work I get home from work.
I just bought the i7+ and it's going back to the store. It's a nice vacuum but it still requires the end user to clean a filter from the dust bin on a very regular basis. Otherwise it'll get clogged quite easily mainly because of how small the new filters are. I think it's pretty stupid that iRobot markets the i7+ as an almost maintenance free vacuum but yet you still have to clean a filter regularly.
Wow. This thing is smart! I was surprised to see a vacuum review from you, but I love all your vids so I watched and actually really enjoyed you showing this thing. :) AND now I am adding this to my personal "wish list" of tech to get at some point. Keep up the good work, Tanner!
Great content, I think your the first on RUclips to do a unboxing video. I get mine Monday. Can not wait to set it up. My house is getting dirty since Kim sold my 980 a week ago😀
The cleaning bots are taking over; we have the 980 it runs great you have to empty the bin but thats part of it, really like ours. Awesome news on the giveaway!!!!
Don't be ignorant. Don't say the first if you don't do your research. The Ecovacs DEEBOT R98 not only had the self emptying function since 2017, but the vacuum that empties the robot can actually be used as a hand held vacuum.
lol. look at karcher rc3000 or siemens or SAMSUNG Navibot SR8980 and a lot of others. They are all self-emptying. Samsung can clean brushes himself on his station. Karcher win the design award in 2004, lol.
And yes, a couple of years ago i saw samsung or chinese robot(dont remember) with "the vacuum that empties the robot can actually be used as a hand held vacuum.".
Looking forward to your review after using the i7+ a bit; especially interested in knowing how often the bag needs to be replaced and the cost of the bags.
Costco sells the e6 and Sam's Club sells the e5 with Alexa/Wifi Phone support for under $400. It's in the same family line but no vacuum bag and no mapping.
Just bought one for Christmas, however, I'm not a fan of having to constantly buy bags. I'm going to figure out a way to cut the bottom off the bag and use a 3d printed clip to close it off again. Probably get 3x the use out of the bag before having to throw it away. I'm sure it will only be a matter of time before someone sells an adapter or cardboard (cheaper version) of the replacement bags.
@@tynishahollins5970 Great idea, Thanks. I ended up buying three boxes of bags from Bed, Bath and Beyond when they were on sale for Christmas. If I can clean them out at least twice, the three boxes should last me a year.
No problem. Just make sure to go in the app and reset it. My order from bed bath and beyond just came in too. I should be to make them last a year as well.
Technik122EU and karcher made self emptying robots before Samsung. The technology isn’t very new, but not particularly popular among robot vacuum manufacturers...
Doug Garet except Samsung is not early on the market at all... there self emptying bots have been on the market for at lest 4 years. If I remember correctly they never sold the self emptying Samsung robots in the USA, and they didn’t seem very popular when compared to the non auto emptying Samsung models at the time. With there newest Samsung robot vacuums they removed the self emptying feature completely, probably due to poor sales. Most of the robots vacs with auto emptying worked fine, but for whatever reason they weren’t particularly popular with consumers.
Great review, first video of yours I’ve seen, I’m definitely subscribing! And who doesn’t love a giveaway, especially when your phone is on its last leg, LOL.
Totally interested in this vacuum the iPhone Xs give away. Can’t wait for the follow up review. I was hesitant to buy one but I like this docking station with auto empty. Legit! Thanks for all the awesome videos and work you ICU.
Great review. I’m looking into getting one or possibly two of these. But I want to see how it holds up and if it’ll really be worth the investment. So I’ll be waiting on a follow up review on from you letting us know how it performed.
I'd be interested to see if it does better on a larger variety of surfaces. My 980 has a hard time with a couple of things in my house: I have a super shaggy carpet that my 980 refuses to clean; a threshold that it occasionally gets stuck on thinking it's a cliff; ikea bernhard chairs that it likes to get tangled up in. It looks like the robot has edges that are more beveled and they are making lots of improvements to the software so 🤞
I got my I-7+ yesterday but haven’t unboxed it yet. Watching this video was great & gave me a good understanding of how this thing works so I really appreciate you sharing this video. I am a bit concerned though cause I see you had to use WiFi to set this up. I don’t have WiFi in the house anymore & im wondering if it will work off my phones cellar signal. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
And the i9 will have a bigger faster spinning 4 pole brushless dc suction motor inside the robot itself, dirt sensors, and an emergency cleaning mode so if you spilt cereal, coffee grounds, flour, etc. You select the room on the app and pick the approximate area of the room. Then the iRobot i9 goes to the mess you have made, then the suction motor spins at maximum speed and sounds just like the clean base suction motor, and cleans up the powder or dry food product you have spilt in as many passes as needed until the mess is gone and the suction motor slows down to normal speed and does a courtesy pass, and goes back to the charging dock. Also in normal cleaning, the suction motor spins slower when there is less dust and spins faster when there is more dust.
This was extremely helpful to me as I consider myself technologically inept. :-) I was nervous about the initial setup; now looking forward to putting everything together.
What is the volume of the bag to the dust bin? Does the vacuum Compress the dirt? My 980 fills the bin completely every time I run it. I am skeptical about running 30 cycles per bag. Thus you might be purchasing a lot of bags. I suppose it’s more like 10 cycles before you replace bag. Thus one bag per week?? We need a real world test of this.
Wow, this thing is huge! I have a 980 that does my whole house a really great job but... I have to clean it after it has done its job twice. Not so much of automation I am expecting. This could be part of the solution but not the answer (The ANSWER is being fully automated. #ROBOTCRISIS ). And so I am new to this channel, the intro makes me think the narrative is about to went into a coma due to hard time breathing... then watching through the video I realized it is just his natural (somewhat nervous?) voice. Anyway, great video, great content. Keep it going.
The bumper has nothing to do with VSLAM technology.... the camera allows it to use vslam. You can’t have vslam without that camera. The bumper is a bumper that just tells it when it’s hitting something. Plus it has infrared sensors that judge distance from an object so it doesn’t hit it full speed, it also used to trigger wall fallowing. Don’t think they need it for wall following anymore, but it doesn’t need them for navigation.
If the big extra bin holds up to 30 times cleaning but the filter is full after 3 times there is no big advantage of the bin. :/ So I won't buy one before I've seen tests belonging to this thoughts. Currently using the 960 (same filter and bin like 980) and I have to clean the bin every time or at least every second time and the filter needs to be cleaned about every 4th time. (Cleaning two times a week about 110 square meters.)
That bag seems quit small and they usually don't contain much (same bag used in some manual vacuum). Also I don't understand why no virtual wall can be define when every competitor robot offer this option.

I like that we both have named our roomba's Bender.
This is great. TY for taking the time to demonstrate this. I plan to get one now.
I wish you would have actually ran the iRobot Roomba to hear how quiet it’s suppose to sound. Keep up the good work.
We need "Roomba Gate" or something. It would be like a cat/dog door, but it would be unlocked when a Roomba comes near it, allowing it to vacuum rooms with closed doors.
Thank you for the great introductory video of the iRobot 7+. Looking forward to being able to set mine up as soon as it arrives.
I'm sure you didn't know, but it's anything than revolutionary.

I am a bit concerned though cause I see you had to use WiFi to set this up. I don’t have WiFi in the house anymore & im wondering if it will work off my phones cellar signal. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
My dude I already have one of the old versions and it more bigger and easy to clean but the best thing the bind is more big much bigger lol
I really want this for my birthday 🎂
iRobot should name their robot vacuums by Intel’s naming scheme. Next one should be the i9 😆
Brandon Yeo how is that virginity treating you?
And the i9 will have a bigger faster spinning 4 pole brushless dc suction motor inside the robot itself, dirt sensors, and an emergency cleaning mode so if you spilt cereal, coffee grounds, flour, etc. You select the room on the app and pick the approximate area of the room. Then the iRobot i9 goes to the mess you have made, then the suction motor spins at maximum speed and sounds just like the clean base suction motor, and cleans up the powder or dry food product you have spilt in as many passes as needed until the mess is gone and the suction motor slows down to normal speed and does a courtesy pass, and goes back to the charging dock. Also in normal cleaning, the suction motor spins slower when there is less dust and spins faster when there is more dust.
Funny they did. The next one is call s9
great review....I have a old version....like the self cleaning...
I hate that I have to watch commercials to watch a commercial.
Great detailed explanation!
I would love to have a IPhone Xs, I have been with an IPhone 5 for the last 5 years. I love the features of the X models
Nice vid. Love the roomba
Can you use it without a bag and just empty the base when it’s full ?
thank you for your video , i was about to buy Xiaomi but definitely i will buy Irobot
Thanks for making this review! I been thinking about getting one. Your review was very helpful.
This was extremely helpful to me as I consider myself technologically inept. :-) I was nervous about the initial setup; now looking forward to putting everything together.
I don't see the i7+ review you promised after using for a few weeks. Looking for it.
Fantastic video thanks for the info!
What a shame that such a nice review was constantly interrupted by loud commercials.
This would be even cooler if it had the ability to connect to my central vac system to empty itself!
What is the volume of the bag to the dust bin? Does the vacuum Compress the dirt? My 980 fills the bin completely every time I run it. I am skeptical about running 30 cycles per bag. Thus you might be purchasing a lot of bags. I suppose it’s more like 10 cycles before you replace bag. Thus one bag per week?? We need a real world test of this.
Great review in details!
Wow, this thing is huge! I have a 980 that does my whole house a really great job but... I have to clean it after it has done its job twice. Not so much of automation I am expecting. This could be part of the solution but not the answer (The ANSWER is being fully automated. #ROBOTCRISIS ). And so I am new to this channel, the intro makes me think the narrative is about to went into a coma due to hard time breathing... then watching through the video I realized it is just his natural (somewhat nervous?) voice. Anyway, great video, great content. Keep it going.
The new Xs is the best phone yet?
This is so cool. The iPhone Xs is also cool. I have an iPhone and want to upgrade to this phone, so I would like it if it is possible.
The bumper has nothing to do with VSLAM technology.... the camera allows it to use vslam. You can’t have vslam without that camera. The bumper is a bumper that just tells it when it’s hitting something. Plus it has infrared sensors that judge distance from an object so it doesn’t hit it full speed, it also used to trigger wall fallowing. Don’t think they need it for wall following anymore, but it doesn’t need them for navigation.
When will you do the more in depth review
Great video, also eager to see the iphone xs giveaway :)
They are still using those virtual wall? Is it still not possible to defined zone on a map?
If the big extra bin holds up to 30 times cleaning but the filter is full after 3 times there is no big advantage of the bin. :/
So I won't buy one before I've seen tests belonging to this thoughts.
Currently using the 960 (same filter and bin like 980) and I have to clean the bin every time or at least every second time and the filter needs to be cleaned about every 4th time. (Cleaning two times a week about 110 square meters.)
AlCapone333 I don’t believe the 30 number. Bet it’s more like 10 so you would be buying a bag per week...
That bag seems quit small and they usually don't contain much (same bag used in some manual vacuum).
Also I don't understand why no virtual wall can be define when every competitor robot offer this option.
Very well done review!
Realy awsome product..
Thank you for sharing. Could you do also for Iromba J7 plus?
