You Just Bought A Roomba J7: User Guide

We're covering everything you need to know to get the most of your Roomba in this video, and we're talking about both the ordinary Roomba J7 and the Roomba Combo J7. (And yes, we clarify the difference between the J7 and the J7+) We talk through basics, setup, mapping your home, the mop attachment, maintenance and more.

If you have a new Roomba, we've got you covered. We even talk through the competition from the likes of Neato, Samsung, LG, and more, but only briefly. This video is mostly for those who have their Roomba already and are looking to get the most of it.

Great video! Good sense of humor, did not waste my time and it had really good information. I saw another video you did on another channel, keep it up!

[jademorris]

Even if I didn't buy a roomba or need to watch this. You are very entertaining. Good work

[marybethfrain]

Great video ! I’ve had mine for a year or more …excellent…learned new things

[peterjones]

I’m amazed, it’s actually working, it’s mapping now, I was just sure it wouldn’t work, it’s a refurbished robot but it looks brand new, I named it Kelly after my Chocolate lab, RIP Kelly. Kelly lives again!!
Thanks for the video, it helped a lot, well done and entertaining!

we enjoy your style and sense of humor. Thanks for such great tips

A link to this video should be included in the box of every j7+ sold. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Great video! I had to subscribe just for your sense of humor 😂. Should we let it map our entire first floor at once or room by room?

My j7 clean base indicates the disposable bag is full when it isn’t.

Suggestions?

[michaeldisalvo]

So the J7 mop drips, turns, the vacuum sucks up the water bonding dust and water under the rollers. Is this a real design flaw?

Why did this channel suddenly stop uploading?

Very helpful! I just got the J7 roomba but I’m not sure it’s charging right. It says when it’s charging it should be a “spiral white light”. When I place the roomba on/in the docking station. At first I see the spiral white light but as soon as I walk away or exit the app, the light goes off. If I go back to the app, the light goes back on after the device has connected. Is it still charging or should the light be continuous? I’m not 100% sure but it seems to be charging very slow. How long should it take to get a full charge? Thanks 🙏

I’ve had my Roombaj7 for 2years now and I’ve just had nothing but problems with it for the last year. Yes, 1st year was great, but last 2nd year, just awful. I’ve kept it clean. Bought regular replacement parts but now days all it does is run out of power while it’s working. Other times it just loses connection with the WiFi and will not work. Then I’m advised by customer support to reboot the robot and the button will not even work to reboot or reset. You can’t even turn the bot off because there is no on off switch. $700.00 wasted in my opinion. It’s strange. Some people get a great working bot for years and others get a piece of crap! I will not buy another one of these P.O.S!

why no more video?
your content is so amazing

[ecamasta]

My J7 has gone back to the docking station during a run? Why? Then the white button turns to blue/green and then red? What does that mean?

[robind]

Hi, thank you for all the information. I'm interested in what the J7 combo can do without the app and without ever connecting it to wifi. Would I still be able to choose between vacuum only and vac+mop mode? The user manual seems to suggest I would be able to do this by placing or removing the mop. Is this true? Also, does the object avoidance still work without mapping first (needs wi-fi)?

[fredaguilar]

Can me and My Wife both have a app for our iRobot

[Albylion]

I believe iRobot moved the Mapping Run command to the Map. Tap the map pin icon, then the … icon, then Mapping Run.

GUYS CAN YOU MAKE A VIDEO PROBABLY WITH THE STEAM DECK OLED

[taigaforest..]

Can you come set up my j7 I'm completely lost

[cracra]

5:45, show don't tell. Don't talk to a newb about lining up magnetic charging strips or whatever. Just show them how to do it.
