In our tests the i7+ performed well, clambering over floor breaks and rugs effortlessly. It was able to detect furniture and other obstructions with no issue. It was unable to get over a 2-inch marble slab separating the living and kitchen. Its edge cleaning is also better than the results we've seen with cheaper robot vacuums. It has a good grip around corners.

When 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. You can add cleaning fluid by pressing a button on the opposite side of the robot. A small water tank/dustbin will then clip open.

But, this is a common issue with robots cleaning and most manufacturers offer smaller charging stations that are less bulky. Those stations also typically fit under cabinets, making it easier to cover the irobot models while it is not in use. 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 should not be filled with water, which could harm internal components and cause a decrease in performance.
