Forget the Roomba. Seriously. I've tried many over the years. If you have hard floors, consider the Roborock S7 MaxV. I replaced my iRobot with it last year; the sonic mopping is a game changer. My experience? Cleaner floors with less hassle. You won't regret it.

Skip the j7+. For pet hair, Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra has superior suction (4200Pa) and object avoidance. Watch for sales post-Black Friday; often better deals emerge.

Before you jump on the j7+, check out refurbished iRobot models direct from their site. Often deep discounts; I snagged a nearly-new i7 for $250 a few years back. Worth a look for similar savings!

Forget iRobot! Consider Roborock's S8 Pro Ultra. Better lidar accuracy, superior obstacle avoidance (crucial!), and often deeply discounted during Black Friday. Seriously, check out independent reviews comparing suction power (measured in Pascals - Pa) – you'll be amazed! You might find it a better value than the j7+.

Roomba's fine, but supervise it closely. I’ve heard of rare fire risks with charging docks; always unplug when away.
