Roomba's j7+ earns its premium with obstacle avoidance that actually spots pet mess and cords, a self-empty base, and room mapping that improves with tweaking. The 18% one-star rate tells the other side of the story: false bin-full errors stop jobs cold, the cheap 32 Wh battery underserves homes over 1,500 square feet, and a handful of units fail, reboot, or lose their maps so persistently that owners jump to Roborock.
