Pros

  • +Easy to set up
  • +Avoids pet accidents perfectly
  • +Consistent daily cleaning

Cons

  • -Not great on thick carpets
  • -Bags add up in cost

I've had this for a year and it's been incredibly reliable. It runs every day and I barely think about it. The pet waste avoidance has saved me twice — worth the price for that alone. It's not the most powerful vacuum but it keeps my hard floors spotless.

Disappointed with carpet performance

Pros

  • +Good on hard floors
  • +Obstacle avoidance works

Cons

  • -Terrible on medium/high pile carpet
  • -Slow
  • -Overpriced for what it does

If your home is all hard floors, this is fine. But I have about 50% carpet and the j7+ just doesn't cut it. It leaves visible debris on my medium-pile carpet. My $300 Roborock E5 cleaned carpets better. For $800, I expected much more suction power.
