Buying call

Buy the Roomba j9+ if you want a vacuum-only robot that avoids obstacles expertly: reviewers praised its excellent cleaning, more suction and battery life than the j7, expert obstacle avoidance, self-emptying base and an easy, feature-rich app. Skip it if you want mopping or a lower price, because it's vacuum-only and expensive. The base is loud when emptying.
