While the i5+ is a fantastic robot for most homes, it's important to note that it's not designed for rooms with carpets or stairs. It's a tiny dustbin, and won't sweep your entire home in the event of lots of pet waste or debris. Consider the i7 and the i9 models if you're looking for a Roomba with greater power to tackle tougher environments. These robots are better equipped to tackle stairs and can be used to mop wet areas.

The i7+ can be easily programmed, allowing you set up cleaning schedules and define virtual boundaries.

In our tests, we observed that the i7+ could climb over rugs, floor breaks and other obstacles without difficulty. It was also able detect obstacles such as furniture without difficulty, though it wasn't able to get over a slab of marble measuring two inches that separated the kitchen and living spaces. The edge cleaning capabilities were superior to the results we experienced from budget robot vacuums, with a good grip on corners.

Once the i7+ has reached its maximum capacity, it goes back to its Clean Base and empties its contents. It then prepares for the next clean. When it's time to add cleaning fluid, simply hit a button on either side of the robot, and the small water tank/dustbin combo clips open.

The only issue is that the Clean Base occupies a lot of space. This makes it difficult to keep the i7+ in the cupboard when it's not being used. But this is a typical issue with robot cleaners, and most manufacturers provide smaller charging stations that are less bulky. They also fit under cabinets which makes it easier for you to cover the iRobot while it is not being used. iRobot has reached out to us following publication to clarify that the Combo i7+ is designed to be used only with the manufacturer-approved cleaning solution (sold separately). It is not recommended to fill it with water, which can damage the internal components and cause a decrease in performance.
