Does the Roomba J6+ empty itself?

Yes. It docks on a Clean Base that vacuums the bin into a sealed bag, so you empty it only every few weeks.

No. The J6+ is vacuum-only. If you want mopping, look at the Combo j-series or a rival 2-in-1.

How does it handle pet hair?

It picks up pet hair well on carpet and hard floors, but long hair wraps the bristle brushes and needs regular cutting.

Yes. It supports Amazon Alexa voice commands, and the iRobot Home app handles schedules, maps and no-go zones.

The robot, the self-emptying Clean Base, one dust bag, a filter and a charging dock setup. Extra bags are sold separately.

The two are close. The j7+ adds a slightly better camera and brush setup, so pick the J6+ if you want the same hands-off cleaning for less.
