Why We Picked ItThe Roomba j9+ is iRobot’s strongest and smartest standalone robot vacuum, with a price to match. It combines the camera vision-powered navigation of its predecessor, the j7+, with the strong suction power of its previous standard bearer, the s9+. With increased battery life from last generation and new smarts to prioritize dirty areas, plus self-emptying functionality and class-leading obstacle avoidance, it’s the best vacuum-only Roomba. Who It’s ForIf money is no object and you want the best vacuum-only Roomba available, the j9+ is the choice for you. With the same pet-poop-evasion guarantee as the j7+, along with increased battery life and suction power, it’s a top choice for pet owners. Consider the Combo hybrids below if you want mopping capabilities as well, but if you just need a robot vacuum, this Roomba is as good as it gets. It navigates efficiently, cleans thoroughly, and avoids obstacles deftly.
