This is one of the better i7 reviews that I've seen - good job. The crayon incident was hilarious!

HI Chris. i recently came across your channel and wanted you to know I appreciate the content here.

Thanks for a good job done in the video. Having had a 960 for a while and we love it, We decided to upgrade today seeing the deal that would deliver both for less than you paid. Again thanks for the videos. You got a new sub.

Thank you Chris. This was really helpful. Appreciate you being so generous with your time. Very nice for your fellow consumers

This is the best review of the i7+/Braava combo on KZfaq by far. Thanks, my man.

Great view! Thanks for showing the results after 10 days.

While I doubt I'll be viewing this type of content anymore next week, Great job on the review. No shilling, clear, concise and to the point. I ended up with the 240, the limitations on the M6 mean you're going to need to set it up in the next room anyways, plus the smaller foot print can get in to tighter places. I used the money saved on the lower entry price to buy extra batteries and reusable pads.

So appreciate your time and advice to help me decide how much dough to drop for these magical machines. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and observations....you all stay safe👍👍

Solid, informative review. Thanks Chris.

Hi Chris, Just found you. I find your review very personal, professional and highly informative. Subscribed.

Thanks for the great video. Wow - that crayon could’ve been a HUGE disaster. I’ve never thought of something like that happening. I’ve got an older Roomba 650; looking to step up to an i7+. I’m sold.

Thanks for the review. Great job. Good pace and presentation.

Just bought the I7 thanks to your review. Thank you 🙏

Love my roomba. Does a wonderful job on my laminate floors and tile. Mine is a basic one but a real blessing.

already my favorite robot vac review video!

Great video! Love the production quality. Great review, also. Thanks!

Man.... your reviews rock.

Thank you, Chris, for the great review. I have had a Roborock S6 vacuum for three years. It mapped our large first floor once on day one and has never needed any correction or re-mapping since. It can do its work without any light. I've had the Braava Jet M6 for three months. It cannot accurately map the first floor even after multiple attempts. Mapping and routine performance requires light in the desired room. It cannot handle thresholds, but, when speaking to their Help Desk, I was told the "threshold" setting would make that possible, but I would have to re-map the entire first floor again. Since I really wanted most of the mopping done in the kitchen (we have 3 birds), and since the M6 lives in the kitchen, it does a great job. Any other room that has a threshold requires that I pick up the M6 and carry it to that room. It usually knows what room it's in, but not always. One day when I have a lot of free time, I'll try remapping and see if it performs any better. For now, I'm happy I bought it and think it does a fine job with the limitations I mentioned. I would definitely recommend the re-usable microfiber pads. I would also recommend the Bona CONCENTRATED wooden floor cleaner (why pay for shipping water?). Streaking seems only to happen if there is too much cleaning solution in the tank, so use a little less than you think you need.

Amazing! Never thought I'd be finish watching this video!

Thanks Chris, this was an excellent review

Great listening to your channel, I'll definitely be checking in again!

How have I not seen this channel before after all the review searching for this damn thing 🤬😡😤. Good stuff man!

I have the older version of the braava, it is more of a dry sweep or moist "mop" and we too with light floors, see the wheels streaks as well. Thanks for the video!

Only 1 name to remember....ROBOROCK.... I love mine and have had no issues. This is with 2 kids (7 and 2) and 2 dogs (and a cat that died last month). Daily cleaning in the morning while we are getting up and ready. Oh and it was 1/3 of the cost. Downside is it does not empty itself. I can live with that.

When they 1st came out my friends got me a roomba for my 25th birthday. I didn't love it , but I'm 47 now and rethinking buying one as I have 4 shedding small dogs and I know the Roombas have come a long way.

Thank you for all this information!! I've been looking into getting one but I don't even know where to start looking or what to look for. 👍

Great review. I wish I would have seen this before I just spent $2300.00 on the M6 and I9+.

Wonderful and honest review

Great review! Thanks!

I just a roomba 3+ & I’m excited to try it out. I got it on Amazon Black Friday for $399, which was $200 off. I watched a video where a guy had the 3+ & a 7+ & he said the 3+ actually had a better suction.

Great vid and review!

Great video. Presented well!!

Fantastic video!

I just found you and I love your channel. First I was looking for a router now I’m looking for a robovac . Man let me see what else you’ve reviewed 👀

Thanks for the review.

Bro you've helped me buy so much Tech! LoL Love your channel

lol, I literally have these in my best buy cart and was going to purchase these today but your sale is much better then the bundle sale I'm going to pay. Now thinking should I wait for a better sale. The bundle deal at bestbuy is currently $1125 right now. Great video though..

Nicely done!

Hey Chris! Thanks for the review! Did you and would you recommend purchasing the additional Geek Squad Protection/Warranty?

Nice review. I had a 980 and decided to get an m6 after watching this.

Very good review

NEVER have i ever watched such a random review video and just laughed my ass off. Very informative but entertaining at the same time. That crayon story has me in tears !LOLL

I didn't get the mop with it -- just the i7 -- but I've been pretty happy with it so far. We have laminate floors throughout, so we don't have the carpet issues you did (and no kids...so no crayon issue either!), and since we tend to run it during the day when our air conditioning is on, the noise isn't really bad.

Excellent, well done. Thank you.

good review.. i have the i7 and braava.. i reeally like the pair

Another great video

good review, I have the same model and I love it, I do wish the rollers were more durable though

Great review.

In my opinion you should have gotten a braava jet 240 as it has better cleaning ability and is the only mop with vibration. Also the ability to have more batteries is pretty nice if your having to clean a lot and it does a good job. Why I think it’s good is because you don’t really need to mop often

Good review thank You

Yes i agreed i bought this robot 7+ bc the other one broke. I thought i would change to shark vacumn robot, but i ended up returning it and getting this brands again. This brand is better than the other ones in my personal opinion.

It's been a while since you posted this review. I have an I7 an love it!. But I'm considering buying a M6 Mop. Do you still use the mop and what is your opinion after a year? Thank you so much for your review! It was very informative and to the point!

Awesome Reviews

I have two indoor dogs and I was sweeping everyday. I love my irobot. My favorite purchase ever!!!! FYI I do not have carpet.

Good review! Tks!

Great Video!

I bought the i7+ and the M6 bravva this past week. I kick myself for waiting to purchase this combo. Both products are what I would say “shut the front door” astonishing!!! BTW: I have no carpeting, only a few throw rugs....my home 1200 sq ft 100% vinyl wood planks.

This is a perfect video thanks

I had this same I7 model for about 3 weeks and winded up returning it. It does not do that great of a job to warrant an $800 price tag! My Shark Pro Vaccuum that I bought for $350 does an awesome job with me steering it around in a fraction of the time over the same area! More so, you have to buy those little disposable bags for the trash dispenser tower that are not cheap! I apologize but after spending $800, I have to spend more money continuously to replace tiny disposable trash bags!!??? Uhh I don’t think so! I ve made these comment posts on several KZfaq videos on this thing because I was so disappointed

Thanks for the video. Exactly what I was looking for. Right length too. 😁

very well done, thank you

Very useful thanks!

Thank you for sharing. Short and to the point. Could you please make a video for J7 as well? Thank you. blessings.

Thanks for a grat video. This sures helps.

Chris, thank you for your honest review! I love my older model Roomba and call it Rembo:) Great investment! However, I thought a mopping robot maybe improve in years...I will wait to buy one. My friend had an older model and she told me it is just making a mess on her floors and didn't recommend it. She has 3 kids, a dog, and a cat.

Just got the m6 and the J7 from BestBuy for 750 out the door. Saving 350. Pretty excited to try them out.

I have the s9 and m6 pair, I think they work well for what they are. I tried the roborock with mop, but its like moping with a wet diaper on your vacuum. I had 2 major parts fail on the vac, I did get it used / returned from amazon so there is that but IRobot came through and fixed it for me. I hope they re-engineer these parts as if they continue to break I will not replace them at inflated prices. They are modular for the do it yourselfer so time will tell.

i started researching these the other day as i have putt in a lot of tile and hard wood…As i was searching I thought about you and was hoping that you did a review…😂😂😂

Hey Chris, Have you had a chance to try out the Threshold beta from Roomba yet? You're supposed to be able to set thresholds on the map for the M6 to ignore

This is pretty cool. The vacuum would definitely be worth it. Anyone with wood floors and children knows how much dust accumulates.

Thank you for informative video. Have you used and reviewed the ihome Nova 2 in 1 with self emptying base? Is there a website to shop for robo vacs that allows you to shop by/filter on features i.e. mop & vac, bagless emptying bin, mapping?

very informative.

Hey Chris! Just found your channel bc I’m looking to get the i7+. Question? When the roomba is upstairs and needs to charge do you get a notification on your phone? And will it work with two separate bases? Like do you have a base upstairs and one downstairs?

Thanks pimp, great info as always...

I have been on the fence for years so this will be interesting 🤔

Thanks Chris

I bought a Deebot on Amazon 3 years ago for under $200. It vacuums the first floor of my house every night. I have to manually dump the contents of the catch bin in the trash but sometimes I forget for a couple of days and it's not a problem, plus that process of emptying and reattaching the bin takes no more than a minute. There is an app that lets you set schedules and choose different cleaning methods or just start a job remotely. The brushes and filters have to be replaced every so often but the app tells you when they need to be replaced and you can buy the very reasonably priced replacement kits on Amazon. It even cleans over thin carpets or an area rug. It's even compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant! Last summer it stopped working unexpectedly and I thought it was a goner but I did some researching on KZfaq and found that these things are easy to take apart to clean or replace the motor via a DIY job. It's continued to run every night since. It does get stuck every once in a while but none of these robot vacuums are perfect. For the price, I highly recommend a Deebot.

The braava also has a leaky tank sometimes mine does. I had to add some plastic wrap to the top to stop it from leaking.

Could you give me your opinion on the optoma HD39HDR for its specifications I see that it is an excellent projector to play and watch movies but I have not found a review on youtube to know if I should buy it, could you talk about it? Thanks a greeting from Mexico I love your videos

Off topic Chris....sorry for that. What speakers are you using behind you for your PC?

Update for the threshold now!! Works perfectly everywhere now!!!

I have a J7+ and am relatively happy. I would like to see a way to save the schedule (mine seems to forget the schedule often and I have to manually re-enter it). It also has a docking problem, which can be very frustrating since no docking, no charging. Overall, the costs of supply from Amazon is pretty inexpensive and it keeps the house much cleaner. We have dogs and daily vacuuming makes a huge difference. It also cleans areas I'd never be able to, such as under the couch and beds. I'm seriously considering the robot mop.

yeah, i just got my roomba i7 yesterday, tested it out, and it worked great! i’m glad i didn’t get the s9. it probably would’ve came as a faulty unit. what a waste of money.

Can you review the Neato brand? They are supposed to work better on carpet

Thanks!

What do you think about the shark IQ R100AE robot vacuum with the base station? It $200 cheaper.

the guys over at vacuum wars says the streaks from the wheels are due to a dirty pad

What are your desk speakers? Headphones and stand?

I have a step in my apartment would either of these devices be capable of going up and down of a ramp?

Since this video, the mops been updated and you.can tell it where there's a threshold so that it'll go into other rooms now as long as it's not carpet Which, you wouldn't want your mop to run on carpet or a rug anyway

I got one of the older non smart mapping roombas and I love it. My shark upright vac doesnt do nearly as well on one particular item and thats cat litter. There is no vacuum in the world better at cat litter collection than that roomba. Just purchased the mop for cat litter dist under beds and such. I dont mind having to clear away things or prep for the vac so I wont mind doing so with the mop. I have cats and cat toys are everywhere.

Thanks 😊

I want to know how well it works behind the desk? my main problem when cleaning is my desk, with all the PC cables, chair, tiny spaces etc...

Speaking as being a lazy person when it comes to moping I can say yes they are both worth it. The only problem I have is the I-7 gets tangled up in the fringe of my expensive persian rugs.

Very thanks

Be careful if you have a dog. If your dog has a #2 accident and the vacuum starts up, then ...... if you think the crayon was bad, then this is a nightmare.

Well, you helped me out

“After spending more than I care to think about..” 🤣

Debating getting the m6. Anyone know if the robot is smart enough to recognize if it’s at the edge of a set of stairs? I assume its sensors would detect the height change and avoid a tumble.
