The Roomba j7 plus is a camera based self emptying robot vacuum that does well on hard floors and can avoid obstacles, including pet messes, while the self emptying bin and replacement parts help keep ownership costs down. Several long term reports say it still works great after years, with decent battery life and solid pickup for dust and dog hair. The main drawbacks are slower cleaning than lidar models, weaker coverage, and recurring navigation or docking problems. Some units also needed resets, repairs, or arrived with missing parts, so it is a better fit if you can live without lidar speed and want obstacle avoidance.

still break out the stick vac for corners and some edges.
never had an issue with it getting stuck.
battery life is about 65 minutes
Has avoided dog puke and poop on more than one occasion. Also, if it does run over some nasty stuff, contact them. They will replace it free of charge.
Even though it is self emptying, I'll stop it by pressing the button on top, and manually dump the dust bin, put it back in, press button let it continue. saves a few $$ on the bags but also lets me see how dirty things are.

If you are not aware, iRobot was taken over by their Chinese supply chain in lieu of debt payments after filing for bankruptcy. Supposedly they plan to continue operations but of course YMMV as to whether that will happen. You will also have to decide if you have any concern that maps of your house along with pictures of obstacles the robot "sees" are being sent to China.
I would also add that dealing with Allstate/SquareTrade has gotten significantly worse the last couple of years and I am not sure I would consider their warranty any sort of peace of mind. This is an amazing price at $150 if you are already in this ecosystem as there are significant 3rd party vacuum bags, roller brushes, batteries, etc. that can make operation of the vacuum pretty budget friendly. If I was starting from scratch I'd probably take the $150 and use it toward a different robot/company due to concerns with longer term support and security/privacy issues mentioned.
