**Update**
After a week of use, the room mapping (aka, SmartMaps) feature is now available on my iRobot app. This is very odd, I don't know why it wasn't available upon setup, but now it is. I have since upgraded this review from 3 to 4 stars. It is not a full 5 stars only because I am still somewhat skeptical. It's the same price as the i7+ and it has all the same features of the i7+ . . . so why does the i6+ exist!? What is the justification to create a whole new model if it's exactly the same as the other model? Will it be less reliable? Fortunately, I have both the i6+ and the i7+, so I will let you know as soon as I find out!!
*Here is my original review*
Bottom line, the i6+ has all the same features as the i7+, except that it can't map a room. The only thing "smart" about the i6+ is that you can integrate it with your smart home, but there are much cheaper Roombas that have this feature. In fact, I own a Roomba 960R, and the i6+ seems to look/operate exactly the same. The only difference is that the i6+ comes with the Automatic dirt disposal feature offered by the i7+ and i9+. But without the SmartMaps feature, it just cleans the entire floor until it decides it's done, and it wanders around forever until it can find 'home'.
SmartMaps is a neat feature which allows the robot to map your home. Once mapped, you can open the app and divide the map into rooms. Then you can say "ok google, clean the living room/dining room/kitchen/basement/whatever", and the robot magically turns on and heads precisely to the room desigated and cleans ONLY that room, then returns home. You can also set a schedule (e.g. clean the kitchen M/W/F, and the living room T/Th, basement every sat and dining room every sun). My 960R and my i6+ don't have this SmartMaps feature, so I consider them 'dumb' (even though they are advertised as 'smart').
I personally think that the i7+ is overpriced, even with the SmartMaps feature, but it is a very useful feature nonetheless. The fact that the i6+ is the same price (without SmartMaps) is ridiculous. The SmartMaps feature should make it at least $100 less than the i7+, if not more.
Also: note that these come with vacuum cleaner bags in the base unit (just like your old-school vacuum cleaner). Keep this in mind, you will have a 'subscription fee' in the form of purchasing new bags in order to continue to use this thing.
