Surprised Roborock wasn't tested/considered.

For real? You didn't include neither Deebot nor Roborok? Just to make iRoomba win? I used to trust Test Kitchen to be independent 🙁

They didn't review the highest rated robots for some reason – the roborock s7 and ecovacs x1 omni

The one thing I'd be really interested to see next is a review of compression ice cream makers. I know there's the Breville Smart Scoop that was reviewed 6 years ago now as well as the Whynter one, but Cuisinart has the ICE-100, Waring has an WCIC25, and it looks like Whynter has even more options available now

my issue with the Roomba j7 is those rubber rollers get very full of pet hair. I had to do a full breakdown and clean every other week with the roomba because of pet and human hair jamming up everything. I have not had this issue with the shark IQ at all. I think i clean it out every two months.

I had the iRobot j9 the one that was recalled. I also have a plain Jane older iRobot. The WiFi on the expensive one still does not work. In a YouTube review it was said that they don’t work well with 5g so this is why they have problems. My older iRobot is a work horse it can vacuum for 2 hours, leaves my hard wood floors nice.
I won’t buy another WiFi one till I know it won’t have so many issues. But I am planning to buy the older non WiFi one for upstairs.
I am waiting at least a year for the roborock too see if the 1,000 plus is worth it. Need more reviews from people who have own them longer than a few months.

Yes I do loved the iRobot mapping feature but it kept loosing WiFi.

We recently bought Yiko, a robot that vacuums AND MOPS – and empties it's own dustpan. It also returns to its base to WASH it's mop disks before returning to where she left off. We can speak to her or use the app. We can schedule vacuuming and/or mopping, call Yiko over to clean up a mess, tell Yiko to stop in the middle of the job and return to the base (worked well when I needed the room suddenly). At her most powerful, she runs quiet. Why don't you review this one? ECOVACS Deebot X1 Omni, aka Yiko, their name for the robot when you give voice commands.

My self empty shark is awesome. It learns and maps in the app and optimizes routes for efficiency after a few calibration “randomizing” runs. Can’t beat the performance for the price over rumbas. Easy to clean and maintain and after having mine for several years…only thing I’ve had to do is replace the battery for $15. It’s brilliant for the price.

This lady has definitely stretched her complete nonsense gig to its limit. Today she jumped the shark.
