Community Reviews

The refurbished Roomba j7 plus stands out as a self emptying robot vacuum that is especially strong on carpet and helpful for homes with pets or long hair. The auto empty dock, object avoidance, and daily scheduling make it a real time saver, and the unit can keep dust and pollen down without frequent manual vacuuming. It is loud when emptying, slower and less precise than newer lidar robots, and the app and setup can take time. Some refurb units have needed repairs or had self emptying problems, so it feels best for buyers who value automation over top tier cleaning.

  • The self-empty dock can reduce how often dust and pollen require manual vacuuming.

  • Replacement parts like filters, brushes, and rollers can be maintained to keep performance going.

  • The refurb units can handle heavy pet and mud use while auto-emptying frequently.

  • A two-year Squaretrade warranty can add coverage after delivery.

  • The model can be loud on bare floors and during the base emptying cycle.

  • Fine dust and clay can bind the fan motor, and the motor may require replacing the full assembly.

  • The refurb listing may not include the J7+ mop feature, so it cannot mop floors.

  • Some units can fail in ways that require manual emptying or repeated repairs, including bumper breakage.

Anyone have good luck with a certified refurb? Do they come perfectly clean?
Certfied refurb, yes. My i4 has been working great for 3 years now with no slowing.

The J7 model, though, is shit. I bought one thinking I was upgrading in fall of last year. The same bumper broke twice in four months, after I went through the warranty process of mailing it in for repairs. Same spot. Two different parts. The J7 model, I think, is not worth $1.50, much less $150.

Is this a good option for dog hair? We have major shedders. We hardwood floor and several rugs. Been wanting a robot vacuum to help with daily cleaning and pulling the regular vacuum out every other weekend.

..I've had to replace the main brush assembly every year or so. ...

Flip every week and pull hair from roller and pull hair from bearings will extend life. Aftermarket rollers are cheap on eBay. I run 4 of these and have been very happy with time saved vacuuming.

Edit: I have always purchased used, and deep freeze on arrival for protection.

I use i7 (less likely to push dirt outside of vacuum) for bare floor and S9 (great suction) for carpet.


This deal is a very good price point

It's not the brushes that are the issue, it's fine dust getting into the fan motor and causing it to not spin. But you can't but just the motor, you have to buy the entire assembly.

I bought two of these refurbished ebay ones back in Nov 2023 when it was posted on SD. We are still using them. They are good.
I feel like my Waze had a better cleaning. But this has auto empty which is great.

I have 3 females with long hair in my house. I have a Dyson animal full size. Which cleans much better. But I do like the automation and it keeps the house dust and pollen free because I can't vacuum manually every other day.

Also, just know this model is not the J7+ with the mop feature. THERE IS NO MOP on this

Also, at $150, i think its a good buy. I bought mine for $300 each. I do wonder the support as iRobot is coming out of bankruptcy restructuring

I'd avoid this model. I bought a refurb, it's been OK, but it needs so much help for its job I'm ready to try another brand.

I have this refurbished. It is terrible for dog hair. Will not empty itself at all. Must be emptied manually every use. Would not buy again.
