iRobot Roomba i7+ Vacuum

Usually within a couple of runs. The Roomba i7+ builds its map fast and learns to skip rooms with the door shut, and after that you can send it to a single room by name. Long-term reliability is less certain, though. There's a report of navigation falling apart after about two years of use, so the mapping isn't guaranteed to stay sharp forever.

Yes, for keeping on top of things. In homes with dogs, heavy shedders included, the Roomba i7+ keeps hair and tracked-in dirt off hard floors between full cleans. It's daily upkeep rather than a deep clean, and iRobot rates it for tile, hard floors and carpet.

More than the self-emptying base suggests. Things left on the floor clog the Roomba i7+, and the wheels and brushes need clearing out by hand now and then. It gets easy once you've done it a few times, but plan on a quick tidy before each run and regular brush checks.

iRobot says the Clean Base holds up to 60 days of debris in an enclosed bag, so you're swapping bags every couple of months rather than emptying a bin after each run. Replacement bags are an ongoing cost to budget for.

Yes, it works with both. You can tell it to clean a particular spot, like under the kitchen table, and it'll head straight there. Scheduling and Keep Out Zones are set in the iRobot app, which needs Wi-Fi.
