i3+ vs j7+: Self-emptying bases make both worth it over non-self-emptying Roombas
Regarding the Roomba: The self-emptying Clean Base is the real upgrade, not suction or mapping. Both the i3+ and j7+ let you go months without touching the dustbin, which is a game-changer for pet owners. The key difference is the j7+ has better obstacle avoidance, but the i3+ is cheaper and still delivers the same core convenience.
