Editorial note

The iRobot Roomba i7 is a robot vacuum that stands out for its iAdapt navigation technology, ensuring effective coverage of the space. Its modern and sleek design easily fits into various interiors while offering a valuable functionality, notably remote control via smartphone. The 0.4 L bagless dust container allows for efficient collection, thus reducing the need for additional consumable purchases. However, some drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The Roomba i7 does not have a HEPA filtration system, which can be problematic for allergy sufferers, as it limits the capture of fine particles. Additionally, its runtime of 75 minutes may prove insufficient for cleaning large areas in one go, leading to frequent interruptions for recharging. The lack of automatic return to the docking station and the need to regularly empty the dust container can also be disadvantages for some users, especially in households with pets. In terms of value for money, the Roomba i7 is reasonable for its features, although the mentioned limitations should be taken into account. Its nickel-metal hybrid battery offers good performance, but its lifespan is generally shorter than that of lithium-ion batteries. In summary, the iRobot Roomba i7 is an interesting choice for those looking for a high-performing and convenient robot vacuum, provided they are aware of its limitations.
