The only difference between these two models is the auto-empty dock. The Roomba j7+ does come with the auto-empty dock which can hold about 2 months worth of dirt and debris from the robot vacuum. The Roomba j7 was almost a year ago, but it still remains the latest from iRobot, unless you count the Roomba Combo j7. The j7 got really popular because of a guarantee that iRobot made. iRobot guarantees that the j7 series will avoid pet poop, or they will replace it for free. This is part of its P.O.O.P. policy, which stands for Pet Owner Official Promise. But if iRobot is so confident that it’ll avoid pet poop, then it must be pretty good right? It is. On top of that, the j7 has “PrecisionVision” which is the new system built into the robot vacuum that is able to identify objects on your floors, and avoid them. Not just pet poop either. iRobot was one of the first to really do mapping of your home, and with the j7 it gets a huge upgrade. It also has 10x the power lifting, compared to the Roomba 600 series. Which means that it is going to get up all of the pet hair, dirt and dust off of your floors, with ease. What’s unique with the Roomba j7 series is that it uses geolocation from your phone to identify when you’ve left the house. So it can start cleaning. It might sound like your robot vacuum is stalking you, but actually, it is going to give you a clean house to come back to. Especially since it’ll dock and empty itself when its done.
