I have had the iRobot Roomba j6+ for just over two months. I was waiting to write a review until I have had enough time to see how well it works. I am not sure why everyone thinks the robot is great. Within the first 2 weeks, I just wanted to return it, because it was not performing like I wanted. But I thought it would get better as it learned more. Nope, I am very disappointed with it.First the iRobot Roomba j6+ does not have LIDAR. So, it just bumps into things until it maps out your house. Even my granddaughter is asking why it runs into walls. iRobot needs to add LIDAR, so give it some eyes please. Once the house is mapped it does ok at best. You tell it to go clean a room, it does go there 99.9% of the time. Some days it seems confused. It does have some difficulty driving over the carpet thresholds. The instructions state you should have house lights on so it can navigate better. Well, sometimes, I need to vacuum an area and it dark. So, I have to turn the lights on. See, it needs LIDAR.It is horrible at navigating around objects. It seems to miss cords ok, but it does not navigate around cats toys, kids toys, or Christmas ornaments. Yes, it destroyed an ornament.Troubleshooting faults can be difficult. The robot will tell you there is a fault, you go to fix it, but it does not fix it. So, you just have to try other things until the fault clears.It is always getting stuck. It tends to pile up bathroom rugs instead of going over them. It also knocked down a broom and pinned itself a room.Bottom-line, the robot is ok at best. Is it worth the money, absolutely not. I got mine on sale. I would never buy again or buy it if I knew how bad it navigates. Also, I will not buy another iRobot until they add a better navigation system.My 10 year old Neato performs better than the iRobot. Back to the LIDAR, I did not do my research well enough and I thought all iRobot’s had LIDAR. Now I realize that none of the iRobots have LIDAR, unless I misread it. That is huge issue for me. A robot needs some way of seeing. Imagine closing your eyes and walking through your house with your eyes closed. That is what the iRobot does.It does seem to vacuum fairly well. So that is a plus. In the end, this robot is not for me. I expect a lot from these robots and this one was disappointing. I will try the Roborock next.
