1. iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO

The i3+ EVO is similar to its sibling the i3 EVO. They differ only in the fact that the i3+ has self-emptying capabilities.

iRobot suggests that you clean the area around the i3+ EVO vacuums before using it. This includes getting rid of any toys or other items it may encounter. It's also recommended to keep the dust bin and filter clean so that they don't become clogged with dirt. When the i3+'s internal bin is full or its battery is empty it will return to its docking station, automatically emptying its trash into the station's dust bin, and then continues cleaning where it started.

The biggest advantage over the Eufy is its self-emptying garbage bin which eliminates the main sources of maintenance and lowers the cost of recurring maintenance.

We were also awestruck by the i7+'s compatibility with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant AI services. We utilized these services to instruct the robot to begin, stop, or pause cleaning sessions as well as move around the room and even vacuum a specific area. Connecting the i7+ to these services was easy and straightforward through the iRobot Home app. After being connected, to give voice commands to the i7+, for example "Hey Alexa vacuum the master bedroom." The iRobot Home App also offers options to manage i7+ settings and monitoring the performance.

This is an average and not a remarkable time to run an electric cordless vacuum powered by batteries. It's enough time to sweep the average-sized home, but not enough to get into every corner.
