Community Reviews

This refurbished Roomba j7 plus is a self emptying robot vacuum best known for strong pet hair pickup and obstacle avoidance. Long term use reports it handling cat and dog hair, dusty homes, and wall to wall carpet well, with generic bags and parts easy to find. The mapping can take a long time, and some units arrive defective, miss parts, fail to charge, or struggle with routing, Wi Fi, and docking. It suits buyers who want Roomba cleaning behavior and can tolerate refurb risk.

  • The robot can handle long-haired pets and heavy wall-to-wall carpeting effectively.

  • Some refurb units have continued working for about two years with strong pickup of cat and dog hair.

  • Object avoidance and cleaning mechanics can work well once the unit is functioning properly.

  • Replacement support can resolve suction problems by sending a motor that is easy to install.

  • Refurb units can arrive defective, including cases that do not power on or do not charge.

  • Some units can be missing the battery on arrival, requiring support replacement before use.

  • Cleaning performance can be slow, with some comparisons showing about an hour to finish versus roughly 15 minutes on competing models.

  • Connectivity and navigation can be problematic, including frequent shutdowns, Wi‑Fi dropouts, and difficulty returning to the charging base.

Quote from dwayned View quoted comment :
Product: I got one of these in 2023 (paid retail minus a coupon) and liked it so much that I took a chance on an Amazon refurb ($300?) for my other floor and that was working so well i bought a second refurb. They're all still doing great. The mapping took forever, but the object avoidance and mechanics are LEGIT. we have long haired pets, long haired people, and live in a dusty part of the country and way too much wall to wall carpeting but these machines take care of business. They run when we leave the house and the air quality has never been better. They are work horses and while I've yet to replace a brush in three years, generic parts and bags for the base are cheap and readily available. J series is fire. I series is not as good so do not confuse the two.Store and Price: Nah. Tech drops in price but this is too low. Like scam low. If it were Amazon? Sure. But eBay? I don't know man. I just don't know.
I have the same experience with a couple of refurbs. They have been great, 2 years and still going strong. I payed twice this price and they have been great at picking up cat and dog hair and keeping the floor clean. The only time I've had any issues is if a toy gets stuck in the brushes. Just pull it out and let it finish.

Thanks OP, I'm getting one for my basement now.

Bought it last year at similar price. Not recommended! Very poor mapping and routing. Do not waste your money on this model at all. Get a Roborock or Eufy or another brand but iRobot
