The app and virtual assistant set-up process took just about a minute, and the robot responded well to voice commands.
The J7+ is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and can be programmed to clean at various dates and times. The robot wasn't as good at recognizing voices. Its microphone could pick up a lot ambient noise and interfere with voice-activated functions.
The bare floor performance of the unit is impressive, picking up 9.35 grams of debris per run. It may seem like a small amount, but it's enough to support the manual cleaning required by an entire machine. It's not able to get up on high-pile carpets and can be stuck on rug tassels. However, overall, it is one of the best robots for bare flooring.
The iRobot Genius function is very useful, since you can create floor plans that the J7+ follows. You can set the plans to run automatically and set a timer to tell the robot when to start cleaning.

Eufy 11s
The Eufy 11s robo-vac is an excellent option for those looking for a robovac that is able to do light cleaning on a daily basis, and doesn't come with lots of complex features. It is also quiet and can run for as long as 100 minutes. However the 11s isn't suitable for all floors, particularly if you have high-pile carpeting. It comes with an main roller brush (which consists of a combination bristles and rubber flanges) and two trispoked side brushes.
There are a number of different modes to choose from when using the 11s, including Auto Single Room Spot, Single Room, and Edge. There's also the Manual mode, where you can use the buttons for direction on the remote to indicate which direction to go -- forward, back left, right, or back.
The 11s is great in removing large debris and fine dust from floors. However, it has a difficult time to collect small debris like baking soda. It also excels at picking up pet hair.
It's also not as intelligent as other robot vacuums. It relies on bounce navigation technology instead of more sophisticated mapping software. It'll ping-pong on the floor until it runs out of battery, which isn't ideal for homes with a lot of furniture or are dusty.
In terms of maintenance In terms of maintenance, the 11s' dirt compartment is easy to empty and has an open top. The filter is designed to be cleaned every week and replaced every six months or more often. The 11s comes with a one year guarantee and eufy has a reputation for being quick to respond to issues.
