An even BETTER Roomba!
iRobot has excellent expertise in product packaging and in creating an excellent out of the box experience for its customers. I received a “box in a box” – a shipping box that contained the actual product box. Once I removed the product box and opened it up, I was very impressed. Packaging is optimized for the Roomba’s form-factor. The robot it in the very bottom of the box sitting on a plastic piece which rests on the base. Above that is an accessory box containing the power cord, and a spare filter and edge brush. Putting that box aside, I removed the Roomba j9+ vacuum from the box, and the removed the base. Removing the protective thing foam wrap from the base was the most challenging task in getting things going. It’s really that simple. I plugged-in the base to our electrical outlet, placed the Roomba j9+ on the base and began the installation using the iRobot app on my iPhone. That process was simple, but there was one glitch – more on that later. The Roomba j9+ connected to my iPhone, and then ultimately to our home WiFi. From there, I was notified via the app that a firmware update was needed. Things got really slow there, and after I waited for over 15 minutes, I closed the app and later reopened it, and viola, things had been installed and the Roomba j9+ was in my list of products (I’m moving the j7+ I had downstairs upstairs, to replace the Roomba i7+ we were using). When I replaced past products, I had to retrain the new product and create rooms, keep out zones, etc. Now, I was able to adopt the training from the prior have vacuum – that’s a great feature and saves a lot of time and hassle! Some features on this vacuum include a stronger suction than the vacuum we were using downstairs. We have three fur babies in the home, so getting the fur up off the carpet and hardwood flooring is a big deal for us. This model has the ability (somehow) to gauge the dirtiest areas of the home and prioritize them, adjust the suction for a particular area, and change the number of cleaning passes. Like our previous Roombas of recent vintage, the vision system allows the vacuum to steer around objects – like our fur babies’ toys. After the cleaning is done, the Roomba j9+ will empty its bin into a larger disposable bag located in the base. These disposable bags are large enough to hold a couple of months’ worth of dirt, fur, etc. and emptying the base every couple of months is very simple. The Roomba also can integrate with Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant-enabled devices, but we don’t use that feature. I have a schedule in the app, and it runs when I want it to. I have it running now, and I have to say that I’m surprised how quiet it is in comparison to our Roomba j7+. I can hear the strength of the suction varying as the Roomba goes from carpet to our hardwood flooring and vice-versa. iRobot has an almost comical feature called P.O.O.P. (Pet Owner Official Promise) that means the Roomba j9+ will steer clear of pet waste (and in the event it doesn’t, iRobot will replace the robot for free). Living in the Pacific NW, we use “pee pads” inside. I wish the robot firmware would detect the pads and steer clear of them, but alas it does not. I’ll likely just create an exclusion zone where I place them and call it done. I’m looking forward to seeing our Roomba j9+ perform over the coming weeks. Our j7+ served us well, and will continue to do so upstairs, but the j9+ will take over cleaning our primary living space.

Good vacuum but cannot add mop later
As a background to my review, I have two other robot vacuums in the house from two other brands. One of them is not smart, it just goes around without a map, and another one is and has a map and offers the same room by room cleaning that iRobot does. So my review is based on other experiences, and not just getting a new robot vacuum. First thing I really liked when getting the box is that its ready to go right out of the box. You open the box, pull it out, plug it in and place the vacuum on the charger and its ready to go. Everything is put together and even the waste bag is already inside so you don’t have to do anything. It also comes with an extra waste bag and extra brush. From my other experience you don’t get the extras and there is always a manual on how to assemble things. Once plugged in the setup is also pretty easy. Just get the iRobot app and follow the steps. The app finds it and connects and you’re ready to go. As far as the app goes, its decent once you learn it. I did a map run first to make a map and it was OK, though it didn’t get all the rooms right and it looks odd you can edit it enough to make it work. I do wish I could edit the rooms, as it has some odd things where furniture is, but at least I can tell it to go to the room. Now onto the actual vacuuming. I have a do that shed some, and for that it works great. It got some of the corners that I usually find hair left in after some other vacuums. The smart feature to avoid things works too, though I tried to put some stuff in the way and it turned around and went back home but didn’t tell me. The app works good to show you where it went, but no notifications if it misses a part of the room. So the one thing that to me is a miss, that you have to version of the j9, one with a mop and one without it. The one I have is without the mop, and I would hope being the same you could add that later but it doesn’t seem to be possible. So while it’s a good vacuum, just remember that you cannot change it to add the mop.
