IRobot Home for Positive User Reviews

✓ IbotoI had an older Roomba that did a great job but the way my house is configured the unit had a hard time finding “home”. This new unit does the entire house and during the cleaning process when the battery gets low it docks itself, recharges and continues where it left off. You can literally set, cancel, or change the time you want the unit to start (and if necessary, you can stop the unit remotely with your phone app.). It does a great job. I use it everyday and I am amazed how much cat hair and dirt Roomba collects every time. Since I’ve begun using this product (remember I had one before the 960) my carpets look much better and I feel confident they are much cleaner. I have eight cats that are in and out all day and sleep inside at night. I don’t know how I made it without my “Roomie”as I call it. The only two short comings I’ve found are when the iboto cloud is down you cannot operate it remotely and the floor needs to be free of cat toys. They will easily get stuck between the rollers and stop the machine. I plan to buy the kitchen floor cleaner/mop next..Dcone1948Version: 6.2

✓ Great start but stuckIt had been working well for the past months, but on two occasions last week, I found the unit drained of battery in the living room during its programmed cleaning run. Now it gives an error when I command it to vacuum. I’ve emptied the trash, changed filters checked rollers and brushes, but the error persist. Still trying to figure out what to do.BJ ServicesVersion: 7.10

✓ I wish I had bought this years ago.I was very sceptical about a robot vacuum cleaner and didn’t think of believe that they were particularly good. I saw this vacuum at my daughter’s house and asked her about it. She is a very savvy person and would give me an honest opinion. She said it was one of the very best household appliances she had ever bought. I got one too and I am so impressed with it. I am now a believer..HedlitebunnieVersion: 7.10

✓ Best (noisy) buddyI’ve got two of these little guys, Ira (880) and Dora (980). They are great little helpers. In trying to justify a reason to buy another model so i have one on each floor… Dora (980) is quite a bit noisier, but she is much more intelligent and much more powerful than my 880, so really have no need for a standard vacuum. The iRobot app is excellent. Best part is I can run Dora (the noisy one) at any time, from anywhere, and can program her to run only when I leave my home so the noise is a non-issue. The mapping is great so I know where it has cleaned and for how long. iRobot makes the best robot vacuums. They are modular so I can keep spare wear parts on hand and most all parts are interchangeable with my 2 bots. My 880 is 8 years old and my 980 is 3 years old. No problems except a couple changes of brush rollers, new tires (I actuall wore them bald on my older unit) and of course I keep many spare air filters on hand that I wash out and re-use. ROOMBA is worth every dollar! Thank you iRobot for continued parts support for all models and it has created a robust aftermarket for cheap parts if you are in a pinch! But the iRobot original parts are top notch and last years. Thank you!.Sdog4127Version: 7.8

✓ Mostly GoodWell worth the cost. Cleaning the floors everyday was taking too much time out of our day with partner and I both working and 3 kids under 5. Only a few minor issue with losing map and having to remap. I have found myself paying more attention to what is left on floor. Will recommend to family.Dogtag009Version: 7.9

✓ Best gift ever!I absolutely LOVE my Roomba. I tried MANY other robotic vacuums in an effort to “not spend that much on a vacuum,” but I ended up hating every one of them and returning them. My husband finally decided I was getting a Roomba if I was buying another robot vacuum. He ordered it for me without me knowing, and I can honestly say it’s one of my best gifts ever. He hates it but I love it. Here are the reasons I gave it 4 stars instead of 5… 1) It is loud/pretty noisy when it’s running, 2) I do find that I need to pick up a decent amount of stuff in order to make sure it does a good job, 3) It bumps into everything, sometimes pretty hard, even though the smart map is correct and nothing has been moved or changed, and 4) I do find that sometimes it will look like it didn’t actually vacuum in certain areas. I follow the maintenance plan, I replace the parts, and I clean it regularly, so I do everything I’m supposed to do and I still find that it doesn’t always do what it should but overall… I’m OK with that because of all the times that it DOES do exactly what it should. I’m actually getting my reminder now that it’s time to replace my filters, but with the replacement part purchase options (packs of two or three for most items) it makes the most sense to just buy the kit/bundle that comes with filters, round edge brush, and main sweeping roller..AschalfaVersion: 7.5

✓ Robot vacs are a godsendOur S9 has been fantastic but that’s not to say that it couldn’t be improved. The app has some clunky elements. There seems no way to add a room to a job in progress. It’s learning ability is a bit hit and miss - a room that wasn’t entirely accessible in the initial mapping doesn’t seem to get learnt once it is accessible - it’s like the robot stops at an invisible barrier. As far as I can tell I will have to map the entire floor from scratch to get it to pick up the extra space.Globey15Version: 5.7

✓ Love it!!Works so well I love how it makes my cleaning so much more efficient. Just can’t say how much I love my iRobot. Robbie. Heh heh.KathyBavsVersion: 7.12

✓ Once set up - greatIt’s the most unintuitive thing to watch but I love coming home to the clean well vaccumed floors. Takes some time to learn the floor map, but great once it’s sorted itself..NiccalmiVersion: 6.5.1

✓ It’s love!Very impressed with my iRobot (affectionately known as Mrs Doubtfire). I was a little skeptical that it would live up to expectations and admittedly kept the receipt in case I wanted to return it, but I couldn’t be happier. My floors have never looked so good!.ThermoblazeVersion: 5.7

✓ No mapsThe maps don’t work for me I’ve uninstalled etc gone into settings still won’t work. Other than that app is mint. Love my roomba.Thanks the rock!!!Version: 2.7.0

✓ This app is great!It is SUCH a treat to be able to lay in bed and tell the vacuum to go do the kitchen/living room/wherever! You can use the app to send him back to his base, empty the bin (only with the emptying base), and to check and see where he’s been to make sure he didn’t accidentally miss anything. You can send him off for mapping runs, which is where he just roams around building a blueprint of the space, which you can then divide up into rooms, and set “clean” and “keep out” zones. All round a great user interface and excellent functionality!.Kiri_WiriVersion: 7.2

✓ Roomba - the vacuum cleanerWe don’t have to vacuum manually at all since Roomba has been deployed. We are very happy with it’s performance. Apart from a few times getting stuck with wires or other objects we do not have to clean it out very often. I still suggest users to keep inspecting it and clean out once in a while to keep it performing at its best all the time. Noise level is tolerable but it’s up to us to manage when and how frequently it should clean so that it does not interfere while we are at home. Auto detect feature also available so that when you enter home it would stop vacuuming, although I haven’t used the feature yet. It would be nice to have at least a notification when the bin is full at the base station. It has been running for almost 10 months now. I hope it continues to work without breaking any parts for at least 5 years. Then it will be worth the money spent. We sure love a good reliable product that works with minimal maintenance for at least 5 years. Thanks To the great Innovators and Engineers who are working behind this great product. Salute!.InandiVersion: 5.7

✓ Great when it behavesMost of the time my iRobot plays nicely, but now and then it just does a small area around the charging station, then gives up and goes for a nap. A stern talking to, or a quick boot, soon wakes it up, then the bot goes about the job of cleaning as expected. My only real annoyance is due to the amount of cat hair it finds every week. Not the bots fault. But this means constant attention as it screams “empty the bin” then I find its only 1/3 full and mostly cat hair, but this has triggered the sensors into thinking it is full. Takes 3 empties to just get through an hour of cleaning in my small house. Lastly I had no idea an i2 did will not allow room settings in the app, you seem to only get that with the i3 and higher. So you cannot monitor or restrict the bot to a limited area unless you pile up socks at door entrances to prevent it going into unwanted rooms. I did buy the little sentinel box to remedy this but it only walls off one room at a time..HoudiniOzVersion: 7.10

✓ ExcellentIt has made cleansing floor so convenient.Tahir AhmedVersion: 7.12

✓ So far so goodThis Roomba 960 is great. We have tiles downstairs and hardwood upstairs and it does a fantastic job with both. We have two kids, a border colie and a tabby cat, so the amount of dog hair and muck is considerable. The floors are always clean, the app is fab for letting me know if the machine needs my attention and when it completed the job. I recommended to watch the machine the first time so you know which obstacles could cause issues. I can’t fault this machine. I had non Roomba product before which I had to return as the software just didn’t work and the machine would get stuck all the time. Worth every penny!.MsimakVersion: 3.0.2

✓ I would definitely buy this againSince we purchased the Roomba 5 years ago I have been so happy we made this decision. I am already prepared to replace this one with another because It’s been so effective in cleaning our house. Even though I think the floor looks pretty clean when it starts, the bin is always full of debris at the end, showing that it’s picking up so much unseen dirt as well..PGRSmithVersion: 7.11.2

✓ LoveBeen a real blessing. Hoping to purchase another one soon.DraganflybayVersion: 7.12

✓ I love everything about my iRobotI only just took a leap of faith and bought an iRobot i5+ and I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. It does a great job vacuuming and emptying itself, mopping etc. We have a Jack Russell and to have a vacuum cleaner that picks up the hear as often as needed is just amazing. The app is super easy to use. No matter where I am, work, home, out, I can just ask the iRobot to clean. I mapped my house but many times I just choose “vacuum everywhere” and I just close the doors for the rooms I don’t want done. The app has tips on how to clean your robot and troubleshoot. It is user friendly..The app is horribleVersion: 7.9

✓ The bestThis product is great saves so much time, even works well on long pile carpet. Have vacuumed first with a Dyson and then let this loose only to find it has picked up more dirt, only down side is it does not get into corners or tight spaces. Overall would highly recommend.Lean freakVersion: 2.7.0

✓ I love using iRobot.It’s so convenient. I set up schedules and it does the work every day. My life became easier because of iRobot..CytjiVersion: 7.12

✓ Better than pushing the vacuum cleaner around myself.Very happy. It isn’t just start and forget, you do need to empty the bin regularly, but it’s much better than conventional vacuuming..MissYouBellVersion: 6.4

✓ Excellent productWe use the IRobot at our beach property. It is scheduled to run once per week to collect all the dust. Apart from locking itself in the toilet once the cleaner has worked perfectly. It is great to go to the beach on the weekend and not need to vacuum. The app is also great, sending me a map after each cleaning job is complete..Bt1234786Version: 3.3

✓ Irobot i4+I like my irobot and my house is always clean😉.MashmahshidVersion: 7.12

✓ Great little machineI bet that the very first o r when they came out years ago. To my surprise, the battery died, they sent me a brand new vacuum. Husband got the vacuum in the divorce. Lol. I debated over the self empty and the there options. It’s not hard to empty bin but why not let it do for. It is designed to give you more time and less chores. The machine is great. I live 2 blocks from the beach and even after kicking shoes, we still get sand in house. I tried a test. You swept the home, Vinny laminate planks, and swept it into a dust pan. The. I Floors felt good to walk on barefoot. The I let, Robby, my vacuum do it’s thing. It picked up so much stuff. Wow! I still had stuff on floors. Ps I have 2 birds that constantly throw food or it spills seed all vet floor. Headache! Now I don’t have to deal with that. I also have a rug and front and back doors and an area rug in living room and he vacuums them with zero problems. I also bought the met but I haven’t set up to use it. I think I’ll do it tonight. I hope it’s as good as the vacuum. 💯❤️💯❤️.TaopathsVersion: 6.4

✓ Nice app, pretty good vacuumThe vacuum works well generally, it is best to remap your house every so often otherwise it seems to lose the position of certain areas such as no go zones etc. It does pretty good job on our house which is all on one level with wooden floors so ideal for this device. No more tumbleweed or dust under the sofa! We have a young dog and a young child so we need to clear the floor of toys beforehand otherwise it gets snagged or stuck on stuff..BennybooboVersion: 5.4

✓ Family timeMy family time has been increased now that this wonderful machine has been cleaning my house whenever I need! It gets under my couches under my bed around the chairs at the dining table. You name it. This thing goes everywhere. I am so happy with this product that I’ve decided to also get the mob. I’m looking forward to enjoying that too. I highly recommend this product!.Kathy and PeterVersion: 7.10.1

✓ Once you learn it it’s GO!Unfortunately we got a faulty device which was complicated by Covid. The servicing agent in Australia was immensely supportive I could not fault them. Now the machine is working as it was designed to do our 450 square home stays habitable between the cleaners visits and another incredible home innovation, a Tineco stick vacuum - leaves Dyson for dead..ScrabbleroVersion: 6.6

✓ Helps Me Control Pet HairWith three Labrador Retrievers, daily vacuuming is a must but pulling out a traditional vacuum every day does not always fit into the schedule. Scheduling the Roomba to run every morning has really made it possible to only need to deep vacuum once or twice a week. Plus, the ability to create “rooms” in the app has allowed me to create a room within a room (dog crate area within the living room), which is a tremendous help when they’re blowing out their coat. When that happens, by the end of a day, you can’t tell that their sleeping area was ever vacuumed so running it twice is helpful to control their shedding. Life in our house is definitely more pleasant with it. I also love that the app helps troubleshoot and keeps a check on when i need to service the Roomba or change out parts…otherwise this ADHD brain would likely never think about it…until maybe 2 am. There are things that aren’t “perfect”, like often hanging up on area rugs, but it’s convenience outweighs any cons by leaps and bounds. (And it’s fair to note that probably most of those cons are created by user error)..ThechalkychickVersion: 7.7

✓ Brian my i7My irobot Brian connected to my wifi and iphone and Alexa without any fuss. The mapping went well and l love asking Alexa to send Brian to kitchen to vacuum it. The Instructions are very clear and so easy to follow. As a 73 year old I just love all this technology and it has helped me so much. I hate to admit it cleans far better than I ever did. Gillian.MegakidVersion: 6.2

✓ I love itLarry is the only one around here that pulls his weight..ArrlynnVersion: 6.4

✓ What a changeI now have 5 Roombas: 2 dry vacuums, 2 wet mopping and one combo that vacuums and mops as needed and as directed. I couldn’t be happier and my floors are always clean..Dennis DowkerVersion: 7.12

✓ IRobot is the bestI love my Roomba 980 and the integration with the app is fantastic. Only thing I think could be added-not because it’s needed but because it would be super cool-is remote control from the app. It’s a bit gimmicky but would be a fun little feature to play around with. Be even better if you could see through the camera on the mobile device while driving it..Jonezy69erVersion: 2.7.1

✓ Brava Jet M6 has made life easierI love my Brava Jet M6. Purchased this with my iRobot vacuum S9. Mapping Brava Jet was easy except for getting it to map my laundry which has a 5mm threshold to the hallway and laundry. The added hiccup was the fact that the laundry was its home base. This was an issue because if you don’t have a large enough area mapped you’re unable to place dividers (doorways) or set a threshold for the mop to go over. (Will go over up to 6mm) After checking online for some trouble shooting and taking 15 mins to be with the mop to help it in and out of the laundry, with some gentle kicking as encouragement over the threshold it finally mapped the room. Once you’ve mapped then you can set thresholds so it will go over raised doorways or carpet to get to its next room. Once I had that all set up the Brava Jet M6 has been a dream. I have set my schedules so the vacuum and mop work seamlessly together. I have bamboo floors and tiled wet areas and my floors have never looked better. The mop is quiet so it’s not a distraction. The iRobot vacuum is a little noisey but not enough to be annoying! It is a bit pricey and if you’ve got the money I would highly recommend these products. The time and stress it has saved is priceless. I highly recommend this product and money well spent!.BrogagtishVersion: 6.6.1

✓ Our BobOur robot Bob is part of the family, easily one of the most helpful with no complaints I could not now imagine my life without Bob, seriously every family needs a Bob.Tag 6879Version: 7.2

✓ Love it!Love our new robot. However it would be good if you could change the job part way through. Like if it is cleaning in a room and you suddenly need to use that room, would be good to skip the room. Also would be great if you could tell the robot what order to clean rooms so that you can clean rooms you need to use (like the office) first and then let it roam about the rest of the house whilst you work. Very reliable little fellow and it does a pretty good job..Jackiejackie1990Version: 5.6

✓ Braava JetGreat product. Little disappointed with the sensitive threshold sensor, it won’t even cross the thin door bar between my tiled kitchen floor and the wooden floor leading to the rest of the property. As part of the mapping process you can input thresholds to help Braava navigate, can we not modify the programme to tell the appliance what thresholds to cross and what ones to not? Or even input the data as part of the mapping to tell the appliance what floor type we have, IE hard surface or soft surface? Also have the Roomba, again great product. This crosses all thresholds with ease..Nick H 91Version: 6.0

✓ Great but a few ideas could be added.It would be good to have more than one time a day to have it scheduled for, it would also be good to have a feature where you could ask Roomba to go over during a clean. It would also be good to have a setting where you could maybe turn on and off an option to see an exact route of which the Roomba has cleaned as I have noticed that sometimes the Roomba will bump into my cat then go around that same spot even after the cat has moved (this would also be helped by the option to click an area of the current route that has been missed in order to go over it). Just a few ideas that could improve it but other than that the app is pretty smart!!.ErinSixxVersion: 2.7.0

✓ Landscape view for iPad ProThis app is almost perfect... can’t believe you don’t have the landscape view available for iPad... ??.MartinD21Version: 4.8

✓ Better than years ago but tweaks needed.This i6 is worlds away from the one I had 10 years ago. After two mapping runs I am seriously impressed on the precision this unit can be programmed for on the smart map. That said, I was surprise/irritated that even with the advanced mapping, that it still requires light to complete a cleaning cycle, or it errors out. Obviously, the most convenient time to clean my common areas is overnight and leaving my house lit up for this is undesirable. Also, given the detail of the smart map, being able to see the actual location of the robot on that smart map in real time seems a worthy integration. If I am running a cleaning cycle from away from my home or even in the other room, it’d be nice to see where it is in the cycle. Having the green “done” area populate on the smart map as the unit covers that ground would be a great feature that relays quality info. Also, being able to manually steer the robot with an integrated in-app directional pad, even if only on local wifi control, is something even lower brands already offer. Directing it to a new room to learn, or driving it to my seat on the couch for some maintenance, etc... this in-app feature is a must. Forward, left, right, backwards... easy peasy. I’m impressed but for the cost... some additional programming would take this thing to that next level..Doityourselfer543Version: 7.4

✓ So easyEnjoy watching it clean up. So easy to clean it out also..🙈😳😀Version: 7.2

✓ Works great!Very impressed :).Nickname_in_useVersion: 7.12

✓ Control of my Roomba at my fingertipsGreat app. Easy to set up and use. Easy to use maps and put in room dividers and keep out zones. Easy to change when needed. Love just sitting there and sending my vacuum to just go clean a particular room. Or a preset saved of the 6 rooms at the back of the house or 3 at the front. Great vacuum health reminders to check brushes etc. Notifies when it’s needing bin empty or has got stuck or needs attention. But mostly with preset times to vacuum daily it does its thing by itself..RisingPhoenixNZVersion: 7.10

✓ Good AppThe app does offer a lot of useful options for controlling the robot. The main feature I’d like to see is a detailed progress report during jobs, so we can see which areas have been completed and what is still to be done. It can take many hours to vacuum the whole house and it would be handy to know which areas we can use again and which still need to be left clear for the robot. Currently it only tells you what it is doing at that moment..RadarozVersion: 7.9

✓ Very convenient, easy to useGreat app - love the product!.Crocket77Version: 7.12

✓ Very clean floorsMy floors are now very clean. The robot takes longer to clean my floors than I did. The vacuum is very good at getting all of the dog hair. I have two black dogs who pretty much moult all year round and prior to getting the iRobot I used to pick up bails of dog hair in between vacuuming. It travels easily over my thresholds and easily from my hard floor to my carpet. The mop does a very good job however doesn’t go over the thresholds so two rooms require me to manually place it in that room. Not a big problem but the information is vague on the website about thresholds. They were expensive to buy, but at the moment I don’t have any regrets. I hope they last a long time as I can’t afford to buy them again! Overall I’m very pleased..HappyBpoolBunnyVersion: 6.0

✓ Robot loses time when discharged and has to be reset?I notice that when on the rare occasions that the robot gets discharged, for example when it’s contacts are dirty and it fails to recharge, it looses its time. This means it cannot run its scheduled jobs. The only way I know to fix this is to factory reset everything and start again. Would it be possible to have a robot time set option in the settings? It loses all its history when you have to reset it..Gareth RobertsVersion: 5.4

✓ Impressive - better than expectedI was not sure if it was a good idea to buy one of these (I have model 7 I think, with base station) - it’s actually very efficient, rarely gets stuck and goes into the hard to reach places a normal vacuum cleaner would have problems with. Very well designed and easy to use. Suitable even for a small basement flat where a regular clean of dirt from the road is easy to bring in from the front door while I can get on with my life !.DannylaceyVersion: 7.3

✓ Best tool for housecleaning ever.I was skeptical at first. Did not think a round vacuum could take care of square corners. I am so shocked and happy to see that these incredible brushes pull all stuff from along baseboards and corners into the vacuum pick up path. It does such a great job. I love my “HAZEL!” She is such a blessing. My floors are cleaned more often now and a better job is done. I am extremely pleased knowing that Hazel goes exactly where she is supposed to. For she “maps” out your whole house route and it’s kept in memory. Plus I have her attached to my Alexa device. This is the coolest thing. I don’t mind vacuuming anymore. Lol. Since all I have to do is ask Alexa Tell Hazel to clean. Initially I watched the entire route she did. She didn’t leave anything untouched that was able to be vacuumed. Also. This awesome iRobot can get UNDER furniture and it’s cleaned now more than ever !!! Everything just smells way better. Less dust. Less crap on floor. I am in Heaven with my iRobot. We got the one that empties itself. Oh my gosh. I love it. Just love it. If I had it to do over. I’d buy it again. Thank you iRobot. My mother-in-law has one. It’s not an iRobot. It does not do as good at all. This is the real thing. Love my iRobot. Rancho Cucamonga iRobot fan all the way !!.Rngunner1Version: 7.2

✓ Roomba works so well plus great application.With the new Roomba I just purchased to replace one I had since 2008, the new added addition to connecting to Alexa and an App on iPhone simply brings it all together. The app works great and no issues with the application or Roomba, well built and does everything you need. If you don’t yet have a Roomba then get one, one less job to do..WackerpackerVersion: 4.0

✓ IRobot Roomba 980The best appliance in the whole house. Battery seems to last ages. Suction is great. I love the feature that increases the suction when approaching rugs or carpet. Bin size is more than enough (I was concerned about this). The app is great also. Just about to purchase my first replacement rollers after having the machine for 4 years or so. Extremely happy. Would purchase again if needed..HatesvacuumingloveseatingVersion: 5.7

✓ Good helper when it worksWe purchased roomba about month ago. Didn't really know what to expect Friday but we were quite impressed with its mapping system and performance especially on the carpets. Unfortunately have to admit many times when I'm using it it gets stuck. I'm usually making sure the floor is tidy and free of debris yet somehow it gets stuck. Also I'm pretty sure before we bought we found the information that the battery life is up to 2 hrs but we never seen it going for longer than 1.20 mins. I like the app although not too sure why most of the time it says there was no dirt picked up. Overall is really good and loving it when it does the job right..Bana1981Version: 3.0.3

✓ Great help!Was sceptical when it first came out as I did not think it will work. After a couple of year went by, the temptation was still not there to purchase until I went to a tenant house that have a robot and asked him how it was and he said it was amazing and even showed me the amount of dirt that it picked up. After that, I went home and did some research and decided to purchase our first robot on the weekend! It was amazing as the floor was always clean! After using this for a couple of years, we have recently purchased the iRobot m6 moo. Now I hope that this new robot will live up to our expectations!.Dash-girlVersion: 4.6.2

✓ Loving himRupert, our iRobot is fantastic and we love him as he saves us slaving away at the vacuuming. Best of all he works away while we’re out. Definitely recommend..Jojonz1Version: 2.7.0

✓ Great App & Robo-vac SystemVery impressed so far with this vacuuming system and app. Running the j7 currently and have a backup i3 for my second level. Have it all hooked up via Alexa too which is nice and one of the more detailed “skills” I have ever used. Seems like iRobot continues to add features and improve upon their software pretty regularly. Be patient as your Roomba learns your house, it will truly get “smarter” as it covers more ground and gets in the swing of things: Becoming more practical than it is just out of the box. I ended up buying my in-laws a 600 series as well for Xmas since I was so impressed. I have disabilities and this saves me a lot of physical pain from using a manual vac. I will say though, If you plan on buying something more than the 600 series, skip i3 and go to j7. The 600 is great for feeling around your smaller apartment or home, but the mapping in the j7 is a game changer if you got the coin to upgrade- little benefit of going ‘’middle of the road” model I’ve found. Overall though, I’ve been very impressed with all iRobot hardware & software I’ve tried, especially my j7!.B SchwenVersion: 6.2

✓ Love itLove the roomba. Have it programmed to clean high traffic areas every other day and whole house twice a week. Has cut down on my actual vacuum time..Rusty3553Version: 7.12

✓ Must have if you have pets!A friend of mine recommended the iRobot to me because of my busy lifestyle and because she said it was a must have when you have pets. However, before going with the iRobot, I tried a cheaper knock off brand to try to save money. I have more than 1 cat so I am sure you can imagine how much hair and litter dust spreads around the house! I was sweeping and vacuuming twice a day. But the knock off didn’t clean well even though it had more brushes, it didn’t recognize stairs so I had to put up a baby gate each time I wanted to vacuum, and I had to empty the bin myself which ended up getting dust and dirt all over the place so it defeated the purpose of the vacuum. Then it broke after only 4 months, just passed the point where I could return it! I finally broke down and bought the iRobot. Now I don’t have to do anything up set up a schedule for cleaning and iRobot does the rest! Instead of constantly cleaning, now I can spend time doing things I enjoy. Best investment I have ever made hands down! The only downside is that I cannot pick it up and bring it upstairs to clean up there as well. I tried and it got confused. Therefore, I will have to invest in one for each floor. However, it is definitely worth it! My friend was right, the iRobot is a must have when you have pets! My house had never looked better on a daily basis!.Jennifer48346Version: 6.4

✓ IRobot has changed my life!I suffer with severe chronic fatigue syndrome so housekeeping is almost impossible for me. In the past I relied on cleaners to help me. This was ok but with pets, my house was only clean for one day a week when the cleaner came. Plus the cleaner struggled to vacuum under furniture. Now with my iRobot vacuum and separate mop my house is clean every day! At the start I went to some effort to tie up cords and elevate some furniture on castors, and I put chairs up on the table for cleaning, so now the robots rarely get stuck and the job is quicker. I’ve learned how to select clean zones which is great for under my bird cages and where the dogs sleep so I can clean these spots as often as required. I have a lightweight stick vacuum which I use about once a month to get the spots the iRobot can’t reach eg behind doors. The iRobots are really easy to maintain too, and even with all the pet hair, I only change the collection bag about once a month which is very impressive. All in all I’m thrilled with my iRobot army!!.SH AllanVersion: 7.5

✓ Overall pleasedThe mapping feature is pretty awesome and makes roomba super efficient being able to dock, empty/charge and then go back to where it left off. It’s not perfect and definitely can use some more development on how accurate what it thinks the house looks like vs what is the actual layout of rooms. These inaccuracies make setting up zones to vacuum and no go zones pretty clunky and I still just go and shut the doors of the rooms I don’t want it to go into when I leave the house. But still a very advanced feature. Excited at where this could lead to with a little more development. The self emptying is a huge upgrade as well. Just as the above notes on the mapping it isn’t perfect and does get annoying when it won’t empty on its own because it’s too full or it’s sucked up a pretzel stick or something that bridges across the hole and nothing can get out. Obviously when compared to emptying every bin with older models this is still leaps and bounds ahead. This will prolly never be a fool proof system but I imagine with a few minor design changes and several iterations this will also has potential to be way better than it is so far..Higg31Version: 7.9

✓ Exceptional MachineThis robovac is exceptional. Bolstered battery power. Self emptying. Lots of feedback to ensure it’s working to its full potential. This is my fifth robovac in nine years (I have four operating in my home and I’m impressed with this model. Well done iRobot..Aliclark98Version: 7.12

✓ Best Investment Ever - Love my RoombaI purchased my Roomba in 2018 when my wife was pregnant with our second child. I was apprehensive about spending the money at the time but now would be lost without this machine. Best money ever spent!!! I mean it, would buy another one in a heart beat the amount of time you can save! My lovely wife has always been a bit OCD when it comes to cleaning, vacuuming everyday. With a second child coming I knew she would be limited for time and wanted to give her something that would give her some time back. Introducing Roomba… 5 years later still going as strong as ever, had to replace a few parts along the way, (easy to do, no qualifications needed and I am not the most handy of people) but Roomba has done 111,000 m2 (27.4 acres/11.1 hectares). Roomba runs daily, it’s bin is filled and emptied daily. My wife no longer needs to vacuum daily as Roomba does the work for her. I can’t actually remember the last time she had the other manual vacuum cleaner out and don’t know where it actually is anymore. Put it this way, if my Roomba died tomorrow, it would be like losing a family member… I would be devastated. But it’s not a family member so at least I can replace it, and I so will! Love, love, love, love it!!!!.Nick BartelVersion: 7.10

✓ Why is it so huge?Why does this app have to weigh in at 500mb? What can possibly need that amount of space to send commands to an iot device via the cloud?.LumpyWalletVersion: 7.4

✓ Life changingI love my cleaning fairy so much! My house feels different! It’s no longer a chore I dread! We have a very fluffy cat and deep pile carpet and no other vacuum has cleaned as thoroughly (and I don’t even break a sweat).Yay its mumVersion: 6.2

✓ Control your vacuum from anywhere in the world!I am loving having my Vacuuming done by a robot while I’m out. Enough said..SandrageordieVersion: 2.7.1

✓ Smart n EasyWorks well with iRobot Roomba 980. Easy to use, just unsure why updating can take a while, is it downloading or waiting on something else? Also, Suggest to save different floors/zones for the mapping. For example, when moving the Roomba from downstairs to upstairs, just be able to tell it. Same deal for zones, tell it clean these room(s) on what’s alrdy been mapped perhaps?.Mike53821Version: 2.3.0

✓ Brilliant!This is my fourth robotic vacuum cleaner (and first iRobot) and they just keep getting better and better. This time it doesn’t matter what dog toys are on the ground, whether the sliding door is open (with only the screen door shut) or if the wine rack isn’t blocked off. The iRobot detects where it’s going avoids the obstacles and doesn’t get stuck. The only improvement I’ve found so far is that it would be good to allow one to reorder the “favourites”. At the moment the “clean everywhere” is the last on my list as it was set up first but it’s what I use the most. I’d like to be able to swap it so it’s first on the favourites list. I’m sure that having written this it will come in a future update of the app..Dr*ELVersion: 6.2

✓ Great robot.Upgraded from an iRobot S7+{?). We were real happy for iRobot’s excellent customer care and quality of parts. Using real iRobot parts, but I’m a cheapskate and try to used cheaper parts when possible. Unfortunately, replacement parts from generic manufacturers don’t always work so I’m buying iRobot arts more and more often. We upgraded to the s7 combo plus. This one has a high cool factor in that the mop is integrated into the vacuum and drops under the machine and it then proceeds to mop the smooth floor. The machine can tell when it is on a moppable floor and won’t deploy if it detects a carpet. If you want to clean and double mop the floor, it’s as easy as changing the preferences for a floor. We have tried several different soaps and waxes and have found it best to use the wax/soap sparingly. That saves the floor from getting sticky the shoe soles on your feet. If you want to clean it and remove the stickiness, simply add a bit more water and mop again. In brief, this is a well-designed device with plenty of power to do a good job that looks clean and fresh..MBO51Version: 7.11.2

✓ I3+ adequate tech, messy UIThe i3+ is our 4th Roomba, started with a 460, I believe. The vacuuming and self-emptying works great on our hardwood, carpet, and tile. Getting the beta mapping was nice, and worked out to map and schedule with a few hiccups. We set ours to do the kitchen area and one other room each day, so each day’s tasks get done on one charge. No pets, no kids, and not a lot of movement of furniture or other obstacles, so mapping works well. The UI of the app leaves a lot to be desired - would be nice to have landscape mode on an iPad, for example, and the layout of the interface is both very busy and hard to navigate. We don’t need a photo of a Roomba on the home screen taking up half the screen to know what the app is for! The widgets for interaction seem to have been added ad-hoc, having 6 different formats on one screen. House-cleaning should not be adventure quest, where the user has to poke, tap, swipe, and double-click every object on a screen to see if it might do something useful. Find a designer who has read Don Norman, and do it all better! /rant.D McKeonVersion: 7.10.1

✓ Great TimesaverI bought the iRobot as we have a Labrador who lives inside. The hair can be a nightmare and working full time I was getting a bit sick of the afternoon hair pick up ritual. This little gem picks everything up, cleans under, around and across. I run it through the day on a schedule and do an extra one here and there from my phone while I’m in the office. The only issue I have is that after a couple of cleans I get a red flashing light and a notification that the cleaning base needs attention. And it doesn’t..I hate but loveVersion: 6.2

✓ My HelperHad a few issues with dust getting inside sensors but support sorted it and now working again fine. Does occasionally after docking not charge & I have to wiggle it to engage but 85% of the time all good. Would not be without it. Have hard floors throughout downstairs with a dog & children going in & out daily not to mention the crumbs & bits left on the kitchen floor. Roomba comes out every morning & vacuums. Does a great job as I generally walk around bare foot & nothing worse than bits under one’s feet which I am pleased to say Roomba picks it all up. Made my life so much easier not having to get the vacuum out !.Matashak007Version: 6.7

✓ Works great when it worksI’ve been having issues where it goes on to it base and not charge correctly after a clean. It so annoying to come back the next day to find it has no battery to clean. And because it a pressed model the battery is on it last legs so it ability to hold a charge is limited. So no cleaning for the day it doesn’t get charged. Be thinking of changing the batteries. Thank god it easy to replace part of the robot.Roro-1988Version: 7.10

✓ I can’t believe how much I love this iRobotI’m really impressed with the quality of the clean, the efficiency, the reliability, the ability to manage its activity and to track what it’s done. We live in a household near the beach with two dogs and as a consequence sand under bare feet and dog hair has been a permanent irritation. Life has completely changed since the iRobot came into our lives! We set it for 6am daily and when we get up our stone floored rooms are sand free right up to the edges. The carpeted areas are clean and the iRobot has docked itself back in its station and the bin full light is flashing. I genuinely believe the irobot picks up more debris, dog hair and sand than our Miele vacuum. I still can’t believe how gentle it is with furniture and objects in its way while getting right to the edges. I cannot recommend this enough..Zoola2000Version: 6.2

✓ Great productIt’s a must have for pet owners The j7 plus and the brava jet m6 has been saving my life I have 2 Siberian husky’s that shad everywhere every day and as me and my wife are cleaning freaks I don’t know how we could continue to handle the Huskys with the j7 and the m6 it’s does a very good job I’m impressed on how much it clean the I think still room for improvement especially in the m6 because has been around 3 years that come out and that transition thing if you have wood flooring with transition like a T mold the mop won’t go over it and if it does probably is going to get stuck my house the main area is tile but the bedrooms are wood flooring and I can’t map the entire house because of this with the m6 but if you have a floor without transition it’s great I recommend but if you have a lot transition in your house unless it’s e very low profile transition don’t buy the m6 because you will regret but the j7 it’s a piece of cake goes everywhere it map my entire house and does an amazing job for hard floors for carpet I’m not sure because my house I only have hard floor there is a fewer rugs here and there and the low profile rugs does an amazing job if you have the very thick rug is not going to work on that I know because a had the thick one on my living room and I had to get rid of it but for mostly i think it’s a must have.Maicon TavaresVersion: 6.2

✓ Love RoombaIt’s just so good to be able to leave Roomba cleaning while I do something else, and the floor looks great when I return. No complaints, I’m really happy..Player1941Version: 2.7.0

✓ Vacuuming and mopping robotaI live in a 2000 square-foot two-story home. Their are two humans and two cats living with us. I have the vacuuming robot vacuum most of the heavy used places daily. After I have the mop mop the kitchen and the hallway in the bathroom daily after vacuuming. Twice a week I have a heavy vacuum the whole downstairs does not get stuck or have any problems, the mop only problem is it cannot find the base again and sometimes besides that everything mops is great. Once a week I move the base on my vacuum upstairs and have it back in the hole upstairs. Besides if I miss something on the floor it has no problems with the upstairs. After today and vacuuming I move the robot mop into both bathrooms with the doors closed and it does a great job. How good a job this does keeping my house clean, I do not need to do as much cleaning, and I have my maid that comes only once a month instead of twice a month big change, sure worth the money. I signed up with iRobot for a monthly fee that takes care of everything from replacement bags to anything else the vacuum needs, and the cost of the vacuum, well worth the money I pay monthly for it..DarylmailVersion: 7.3

✓ FeedbackVery good Sometimes I would like to direct it around the kitchen from the app just to pick up some crumbs without it doing whole floor..EenieB123Version: 7.4

✓ OutstandingLive my Robot and wish we had one earlier. Best purchase ever!!!.JMCBrigadeVersion: 7.8

✓ Not bad but needs update badlyI can only justify 4 stars for this app...to begin with,there is a definite problem with part of the WiFi connection...I have an IPhone XS Max running iOS 12..I also have the newest Roomba I7 +... this is a very expensive unit and one should expect a flawless app to go with it! The unit will connect with your home network and will function as it’s supposed to...but when you use the “locate” function says “this function does not work unless your Roomba is on the same network “..I have tried deleting the unit from my network and re-installing it but always with the same result! Also... the next problem is with the mapping function...it takes at least 2 full training runs to map my apartment and then I can name the rooms etc.. I can tell it to clean one room and it will work once! Then all I get from that point on is the maps will reappear in a grayed out form and you will not be able to select any room at all for the unit to clean...you can edit,rename, and save a new configuration but you still can’t tell it to clean any of the rooms! This all tells me that the app is flawed! I’ve also read many of these reviews and others have the same problem as me! Again...when one pays this much for a Roomba one would expect these problems would be solved! Please update this app to work on all smartphones!.William431Version: 3.4.1

✓ Great App! Two Feature RequestsThis is a great App, which let‘s you control your Roomba etc. (set schedules, define work areas) and customize your floor plan (keep out zones and cleaning areas). After each clean the you can review the completed job to check how well it was done and to look at photos Roomba took to define obstacles found. All in all really great and straightforward. I have two feature requests though: (1) Please program a ‚cancel job‘ option that let‘s you stop the current job without having your Roomba return to the home base and empty. There are several reason why this is a must have feature that I won‘t explain in detail. Just check forums on Reddit etc (I am not alone). (2) Please program the App so it can rotate. I use my iPad in landscape view in a fixed stand and it is annoying that only for this App I have to remove the stand and rotate the iPad to portrait view. iPads are mostly used in landscape view, iPhones are mostly used in portrait view. If you don‘t support rotate, then at least the App should support the standard view of the respective device..Guesswho!!Version: 7.10

✓ Magic!My robot mop has changed my life! My floors show everything! Wearing socks instead of shoes is so bad! It shows footprints galore! I’ve been a slave to my floors and so depressed that we spent so much money on them! I tried figuring out how I could afford a maid to just come once a day and mop them for me. I even made a new rule of everyone keeping shoes on! Do you know how hard that is when your kids are trained to take shoes off when they come inside! Impossible! Then my sister told me about this robot mop at Christmas, and I thought why not try it, $300 mop vs a new $15K floor can’t hurt to try. I do a quick vacuum in the morning and then hit a button on my phone and then magic happens! My mop cleans so well on my mat finish LVP floor. It took some time programming my favorite settings, but once I figured out my favorite it’s so easy! I love my floors! And even though they look like a mess the next day, it doesn’t matter, because you can mop everyday if you want! Sorry, you can let the robot mop everyday! Ha! I’ve had this mop 2 months and I’ve only mopped my floors myself 2 times. Once a month to get places the mop can’t get and to scrub my baseboards is completely reasonable! Worth every penny! I’m a big believer in having the right tools for the job. This mop is perfect for flat mat finish floors. You want to make sure your floors are vacuumed well first. Turn on a few lights or open windows. Then let it do it’s thing! Magic!.Slave to floorVersion: 7.3

✓ I3 RoombaDoes a great job cleaning about 95% of a 300 sq metre main floor..Alice2024MMVersion: 7.12

✓ Sir RomanGreatest product I’ve ever had it does everything that has been assigned to it.Bultaco 267Version: 7.8

✓ Remarkable machine, great customer serviceThis is a technological marvel that actually makes life easier. We have 2 dogs and a 2500 sq. ft. house. Without Roomba, I would need to vacuum every other day. When the i7 is working, it does a great job of vacuuming between the monthly housekeeping services. It heads out each morning on the schedule I have set, recharges and empties the bin as needed until the job is done. If during the week I notice an area that is particularly dirty, I pull out my phone and tell it to clean that area…. much easier than pulling out the vacuum cleaner. It is amazingly good at mapping the rooms, maneuvering, and getting itself unstuck from tight spaces, cords, and obstacles. In the 3 years I’ve had this model, it has quit functioning properly twice. However, iRobot customer service is easy to access by phone, and the service reps are outstanding. They guide you through diagnostics and fixes. When once this didn’t solve the problem, they sent me a shipping carton to send the robot in for service, eventually replacing the robot. So, I’m giving the robot 5 stars for its incredible usefulness when it’s working, deduct 2 stars for the times when it has quit functioning properly, and add back 2 stars for the outstanding customer service..TongatimVersion: 7.10

✓ Loving my RoombaThe Roomba robot works well for me. I had a bit of trouble getting it to recognize the wash container and it took about 4 tries before it worked. Once it recognized the wash container it did a great job of my floors. I bought the Roomba because I have health complications which limit my ability to clean..TeFriday45Version: 7.12

✓ Worth the splurgeEveryone should splurge and buy a proper Roomba, it will make your life easier.. one less thing to stress about is worth the money. I put one on each floor, opted for the self emptying one with bags, as I have pets it saves me having to empty Roomba frequently. I run them 3 times a week, have had them for a few years, if they get sluggish I just replace the brushes etc and they work like brand new again. Love the app and the mapping too. I have owned previous models in the past which worked well but the self emptying is the way to go!.Lon8Version: 6.2

✓ Great help - part of the family now!Once you learn where the robot may get stuck and set the settings to keep cleaning when bin is full (as sensors are very sensitive) works like a dream. Just need a buddy to do upstairs rather than carrying this one ….and a mini one to fly around and clean the stairs and dust 🙂.PedLouVVersion: 7.10.1

✓ Roomba verses ICloudIt is annoying how there are times Roomba will not connect to iCloud WHY does this happen .... all the suggestions on the app are of no use..M22shellVersion: 5.6

✓ Best product yetAt first I was sceptical of spending a large amount of money on a vacuum robot. However once I did it I can honestly say it was the best thing I ever did. We were using our Dyson stick twice a week to vacuum the dog hair and dirt off the floor. Since we bought the Roomba we only use the Dyson for hard to get to places once a month. I’m a very happy customer. Thank you for making this a outstanding experience and saving us two hours a week..Bretsa01Version: 6.2

✓ Useful and keeps getting betterHad our roomba Harold over 2 years now and he’s still going strong. The app has improved so much over that time. It’s now more user friendly and provides all the details we need to know. If you want a robot vacuum I would highly recommend an iRobot..David-MidVersion: 6.0

✓ Automatic CleaningI can’t give 5 stars because it’s not perfect. It can never find its way back from one of the rooms in my home, and sometimes it can’t figure out how to get there either. However, this is a night and day improvement over the traditional method of vacuuming. Telling Alexa to clean the mess by the coach and then watching it happen is like something out of the Jetsons and far more likely to happen then the alternative; me getting off the couch, walking downstairs to the utility closet, carrying the vacuum upstairs, finding the closest outlet, cleaning the mess, emptying the bin, and finally returning the vacuum to the closet. In other words I can 100% overlook the occasional error or issue where I might have to “rescue” Roomba and bring it back to its home, in exchange for more frequent cleaning that is actually kind of fun to watch. Even moving it downstairs once a week to get the bedrooms seems really easy (and for some reason even though it’s larger and there are more rooms downstairs it never gets stuck). It could be proximity to the router. It seems to know pretty quickly that you have moved the home base though and it keeps track on the correct map..WidakahicnessVersion: 5.4

✓ Roomba i5I absolutely love my Roomba i5. My back is poor so vacuuming isn’t an option for me. We have timber and tiled floors. I love how efficient it is at perseverance. My timber floors look shiny and feel clean. I do have carpet in three bedrooms so I do those areas on different days so as to not overwork it. Generally I run it twice a week and once a week for bedrooms. I have two small rise entranceways that it goes up and down very well. I did put a slim mat to assist with one doorway as it was just a few millimeters too tall. Problem solved. I put my dining chairs upside down on the table and it’s free to go. Perfect for cleaning the floors while I’m out doing something else. Definitely as efficient as my Previous two Dysons.HousewifeeVersion: 5.0.1

✓ Makes cleaning easyIt’s much easier to lift things off the floor and head to work knowing the vacuuming will be done when I get home. Reminding me to clean the Roomba with the service countdowns and the emergency texts when Doomba our Roomba is stuck is great - means I can text a son to sort out when he gets home. Only thing I’d love to see is Doomba’s route round the house, not just the green space covered! Like the dishwasher wish I’d had a Roomba much, much sooner!.MameeskyeVersion: 3.0.2

✓ Where are the diagnostic errors in the app?Took one star off because although I get the error notifications on my phone (push notifications) I would expect to go into the app and be able to retrieve the error that way and get more information. Although the actual robot is with my elderly mom, I have the app so I can start it when I know she’s not home. It also allows me to get notified when there’s an error so I can fix it when I visit (for example the roller got tangled with something). But since I might not address the error right away (I don’t live with her) I ignore the notification that comes up. Few days later when I’m at her house, I expect to go into the history of the app and find the error and troubleshooting information but I can’t find it anywhere. I actually just wanted to report this or talk to someone in app support but all the support contacts lead to the roomba device support not the app support. Just seems like something that I’m missing. The app obviously has the information, I can see it in the push notifications. Why is it not available in the app under history or some other logical area?.KatPSU95Version: 5.2.3

✓ My preciousLove it so much! Can’t live without her..EliferbVersion: 7.12

✓ Love the history and analysisI don’t use the schedule as it is easier for me to set my vacuum up every day to do the cleaning as we have a multi floor home and I carry it to the floor to clean every time. I do love the history with map tracking to see how well it was cleaned and how many dirt events were found. The app notifications for when my robot vacuum needs assistance are also very useful as we have some tricky areas that it needs to navigate..Emzyme20Version: 5.7

✓ Visually impaired customer for over 15 yearsI have to let you know that because the inception of the robot has taken the blind community in many places by storm. We truly appreciate that when we clean we can have something to either go behind us or clean first and then we clean. It is how you use it and when you use it that are so many customizable situation‘s. It would be difficult to name them. I want to thank you for improving everything. I wish it talked more and we had that option. I will tell you that is a big request. We want it to say rather than just make noise. Making noise still helps so don’t take that away, but if it’s spoke, what was going on more often and gave more descriptions instead of error numbers, we would really appreciate it. Other than that I can’t think of a better device that has happened in the last 15 years then to be able to run a device that will help you assist you with cleaning not necessarily clean everything but assist. Thank you..Sharon EwingVersion: 7.7

If I force close the app everything is fine. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next update. Everything else is great..37363846Version: 6.3

✓ Not ready for prime time (it turns out that it really is!)I just got a Roomba, and set it up last night. The vacuum seems to work well, but the app needs word. It could be me, but there are no instructions to help me use it. I did a “mapping” run, fine tuned the room definitions, and labeled them. Seems fairly straightforward, except it’s confused about which room is which tell it to clean the kitchen, and it will clean the family room tell it to clean the family room and it will clean the family room. I can find no way to fix it except go possibly a remap. I made a couple of favorites using the room names and of course since they don’t seem to be working, the favorites don’t work. I can’t remove them and start over. To me, it’s just not ready. It needs attention. Update: I have figured out. I think the issue I had with room names was simply that it didn’t update fast enough. All of the rooms are properly named, and I can send the robot wherever I want it to vacuum. I was too impatient. “Favorites” are useful when you want to specific rooms (1 or more) outside of the schedule. I had a bit of a problem finding out how to delete favorites, but I figured it out. My only suggestion would be to either include better app documentation, or make the app more intuitive..Woody5575Version: 7.4

✓ Very good app, great productSetup of the Roomba was super easy with the app. For non-tech types they might want a little more in the way of help screens - and perhaps gentle walk throughs for the first few weeks of using it. Just know it works and doesn’t need much help from you once rooms are set up - minus occasional tweaks you may want to add. Roomba doesn’t always do exactly what it’s supposed to do. I’m assuming the problem is something between the AI of it and the app. But who cares? It works great, even with the occasional hiccup. It’s easy to send feedback through the app for any problems you encounter. Our 20-plus year old Hoover’s handle literally snapped in half last year. As much as I love tech stuff I thought a Roomba wouldn’t work well, especially with our two short hair but high shed dogs. I was wrong. Our house is cleaner than ever, the dogs are fine with it after some quick training (had a pocket full of treats when Roomba did its setup run - whenever the dogs got agitated about it I’d stand astride Roomba, call them to me and hand them a treat - worked like a charm). Buy a Roomba, slap 2 googly eyes on it, help it through the setup, and you’ll be set..H2ocelloVersion: 6.4

✓ Best cleaning toolI’m not the most consistent person…. But my vacuuming is on schedule 😉 These robots are high quality - I had mine for over 5 years. After the first few years, I was happy to be able to buy new parts at a very reasonable price to keep my bot in shape. The initial price for me was the highest obstacle: at that time, I think the price was around 1k and I wanted to make sure it was going to meet expectations. It surely has… and the fact that it’s so durable on top of their high quality for customer service…. I will definitely buy this brand again for my next vacuum. I won’t switch brands to save a few 100$ because in the end, irobot lasts for a long time (we are not in the gamic of buying a gadget that you will need to change in a year or 2 here..!).MattFernandes13Version: 7.12

✓ Life changerOur Bertie is a star. He goes about his business on time each night and does a great job. I have noticed since updating the app that I can’t view the map - says “map unavailable”. Hopefully this can be fixed. One of the best appliance purchases. Ever..Rebby_NZVersion: 3.5

✓ Luv it!It’s a good vacuum for its size. The dust bun fills quickly and I always clean the filter when I empty the bin. If you have the money you could put a new filter cartridge in every time. I use a nail brush to get the loose debris off. It does need attention when working but you don’t have to watch it it will tell you so you can get on with other jobs in between the bin attention. We have a dog and live in a rural area so it has its work cut out..Magmo3Version: 7.3

✓ Worth the investment.My wife and I had talked about a new Roomba for some time. Our old, and still working unit is a push button start. Having the ability to set up zones, keep out areas, assign zone names to the rooms, and schedule cleaning in different areas has been a huge time saver. We have two large dogs that shed. There is no carpeting downstairs, and we are very fortunate to have ample square footage on the main level We have a three foot dust mop that we had to use every two days, along with a Hyla(Swedish version of a Rainbow) vacuum every 5-7 days because we always forgot to hit the start button on our way out. Putting the Roomba on schedule has dramatically increased the lack of fur found in the floors(intended purpose). We now dust mop every week and run the Hyla every 12-15 days. My wife is extremely pleased with this, and that makes me happy. The app monitors the system and has even auto shipped new bags to us. Just be ready when it empties the onboard bin, it’s like a mini jet engine taking off..Sweepie's klling it!Version: 7.3

✓ Mostly amazingMy experience of my robot over the past few months has been excellent. He goes everywhere and hoovers up more dust and dirt than our Dyson and Miele ‘manual’ hoovers. However. There is one major drawback for me and my experience with iRobot and that is the inability to create virtual doors. Why isn’t it possible to draw a line on the map he plots in order to create a virtual room boundary? I know there are strips available but I do not want physical strips on my thresholds. All in all a very good purchase. Saves me hours of boring hovering time..Capricorn OneVersion: 6.2

✓ Great as a second passWe still vacuum with our upright in the rooms with heavier use, but it’s great to just set the Roomba free for the occasional backup. Gets to those spots (e.g., under the bed) that gather dust but can’t easily be reached by upright. Roomba is easy to empty, easy to maintain—and has great videos showing you how and when to do it. Glad we have it!.KiwibeeeeVersion: 7.2

✓ Excellent HelperQuite an expensive tool for the house but worthwhile we think. It’s important to robot proof the rooms by putting wires out of the way. We have mostly hard floors and the robot manages them without difficulty. We do clean the dust box and filter after almost every use and every week we carry out the other tasks. It takes a minute to clean the filter and not much longer for the weekly tasks. The robot is still going strong and although it’s not perfect it does a pretty decent job. Allows us to do other things while it’s working..Tim23319Version: 6.4

✓ Dry mopHave to manually start dry mop from robot instead from iPad start for mapped rooms except kitchen and living room. Kitchen and living rooms can start working from iPad start.. But the robot has to come off its base first before starting from iPad. It can’t always go home because of the low elevated markings between rooms but does go back to its start base..Mr MoppyVersion: 7.12

✓ Quiet achieverYou know it looks pretty simple and could easily be underestimated but our i7 is a real achiever. We took a while to get to know it, by the time we did, it had built a map of our house and the floors were noticeably cleaner. We did not initially even have the app, but it was already in the job. We don’t make it easy, there are all kinds of obstacles that we keep moving around but it gets around them and does it’s job. It’s amazing how much dust and lint it picks up. We wouldn’t be without it now, it’s one of the more reliable members of the family. Good investment!.IanB999999Version: 6.2

✓ New userWe have just purchased our Roomba and have found the app quite good. I did pause a mapping only run and lost the whole map which was a bit gutting as it was over half the house and the main living area. Lesson learned, just leave it to run when mapping. Maybe only as good as the information you give it!! Would have been good to know that potentially could happen though. Overall good app. I also have only used while home so far..D.s.BrooksVersion: 7.2

✓ First robotic vacuum cleaner & WOW !!!We are very pleasantly surprised with the cleaning ability of our j7. It is our first robotic vacuum cleaner, so it was with some trepidation that we took the plunge and bought one. We definitely don’t regret the purchase. In fact we now wish we had bought one years ago. The mapping of the house is amazingly accurate and so far we are getting approx 98% coverage in a cleaning run. Which is probably better than what I manage manually !.J D SilentioVersion: 7.4

✓ IRobot 7+Great machine. Only downfall is you have to empty trap quite often. Needs to recharge a lot during clean so takes all day to clean house. Gets 80 percent of house clean..Debby DavieVersion: 7.7

✓ Roomba exceeds expectationsI’m really enjoying my Roomba i7 which was a birthday gift. I never thought that an automatic vacuum cleaner would be useful for me but I have found it very liberating and am very surprised at how well it cleans. The only negative so far are the bags it uses which have a small capacity and are discarded when full. As there is quite a lot of plastic on them I feel they do not meet the current environmental standards. Also they are quite expensive to be buying on a regular basis. It would be better if Roomba could design a reusable bag..LovemyroombaVersion: 5.7

✓ Great, but docking😠Really happy with the vacuum. We are in a pokey little place, but it bounces it’s way around fine. It gets stuck sometimes in the edge of thick rugs, but amazes me with what it can handle. The only issue is it fails to dock a lot. You can watch it go up onto the dock, then it turns at the last minute and stuffs it up, which pushes the dock to the side too. Not a big deal really, I just dock it when I get home or when it alarms.MertleyVersion: 4.6.1

✓ Robbie the Roomba RobotI absolutely love this Roomba. I never thought I would, until my neighbor brought hers over for me to try. I can’t say enough good things about Roomba, except for programming it. I finally figured out a way that works for me; therefore it’s a keeper. I’m 82 and have a lot of arthritis. I’ve always used a Hoover upright. I know that keeping a carpet clean in secret to the carpets’ appearance and long life. I didn’t think a Roomba would do anywhere as good of a job as my Hoover upright, or a Dyson would. When I started using the Roomba I was shocked at the amount of debris that would be removed from my wall to wall carpeted house. I have a 70 lb. Dog. Roomba is so easy to use and makes my carpet look so nice (I like long straight lines) I use Roomba approximately 5 days per week. Because my Hoover is so much work, I did not vacuum that often with my Hoover. I’ve figured out a way to program my Roomba which works for me. Programming a Roomba can be a challenge. It is for that reason I gave 4 Stars rather than 5. I know several people who have given away their Roomba’s due to the programming challenges. Now that I’ve finally found something that works for me; I’m ecstatic. I did purchase several extra blocking devices to control where the Roomba goes/or not. I also found starting the Roomba with my cell phone program works best for me. S. Dore’.S. Dore'Version: 7.2

✓ Absolutely love this robotMy wife and I are hardly home and vacuuming is the last thing we have in our minds when we get home! We have a cat and she makes quite a mess from her litter box and tends to shed quite a bit of fur. After watching numerous reviews about the roomba I decided to pull the plug and buy one. I went with the i7+ for a few reasons. I wanted the the emptying base. And I also wanted the smart mapping. It has mapped my entire apartment minus the bathroom which we are still working on it to recognize the bathroom. We’ve already set areas for it to clean. I picks up all of my cats fur off the floor. And it has cleaned all around the litter box! It’s not meant to replace your normal vacuum but to lessen the amount of times you do vacuum. I don’t have a set schedule for it due to having pets so in the event my cat misses the litter box I don’t have the roomba going and dragging it around the house. Over the winter it picked up any road salt that our shoes brought into the house! All in all, it was worth the money! I do wish we could have a little fun with it. Maybe have the app have a “game” mode where you can control it like a remote controlled car and drive it around the house while it cleans? That would actually be pretty cool to do!.BvaroVersion: 6.0

✓ This will change your lifeThis is simply the best ever and the most useful gadget that I have bought for a long time. Firstly it works and cleans no matter what the floor is, it easy to set up, easy to use and it works properly. The way it maps out areas is so smart and it comes with cubes to allow you to block areas which is so clever. I cannot recommend this vacuum cleaner enough and I shall be purchasing one for the upstairs as everywhere is so clean and tidy downstairs. It also makes you tidy and not leave things lying around. A fantastic product.HughbieGVersion: 5.4

✓ UPDATE: Rumu is 4 and a half year old and still going strong:-)UPDATE: Rumu is 4 and a half year old and still going strong. My Roomba 966, named Rumu, will be 2 years old in a couple of days and is still going strong. Lately he’s been working as my ‘You really should be out of bed by now” alarm during lockdown, and is quite an incentive for lazy people to keep the floor space of their homes clear. It would be really nice if we could get/buy a camera feed from the camera when it is facing forward as it goes around the house. Combine this with a remote control function and you could have a fun little toy. Allow us to save the pictures remotely and then it would be a mobile security camera. Now that is an app that I’d definitely buy. The only problem I have really had is when I had to change my network router and re-setup my network settings. The secret is to do a reboot on the robot by holding down the Clean button and then after it has connected to its own network and literally told you that it has, change it back to your own network as it doesn’t do this automatically. This took my at least a couple of panicked hours of fiddling to discover so I hope that the network setup later models is a bit clearer. Apart from that I love it..Eloquently EmmaVersion: 6.7

✓ Best purchase!I'm 77 and had considered hiring a cleaning service but found prices to be ridiculous. I can still clean but, with back issues, vacuuming was a problem. Roomba, compared to cleaning service, has already paid for itself and given me so much free time. And it's fun! I had heard, years ago, the Roomba didn't do a good job....well this one (i7) does a great job. I have the perfect home for a Roomba as it is able to go under most of my furniture. It's amazing to watch when it stops to think (?) and then moves on to a missed area. The mapping feature is phenomenal. I have favorite areas set up and split up how the vacuuming is done so I can prepare certain areas, which doesn't involve much. Counter stools (2) are placed on counter, floor basket in living area is picked up, rug by entry also picked up. I have changed things on the map a few times and now have it just about perfect for my use. Reviewing each job for obstacles (not many) helps as well. I will pick a favorite area and while Blue (her name) is working, I will either dust another room or go out. I would definitely buy another!.JEF521Version: 6.6.1

✓ IRobot bravaFonctionne très bien Nettoie bien les sols.Chosebine toeVersion: 7.12

✓ Great little helperGreat especially during lockdown as the pet hair and toddler crumbs has increased significantly. I’d really like to see an option on the schedule to set the cleaning preferences as well. I really like the deep clean option but to have to run once a week I have to go in and change the settings. Would be great if you could schedule a double pass once a week and the single pass other days. Other mentions is the foreign object detection. Sometimes it will bump into something that I lift (ie my toddler)but doesnt retry that area. Would be great if it retried or if there was an option in history to “vacuum” missed areas,so you don’t have to wait for it to do a whole room again.RyioojgVersion: 5.2.3

✓ Love this iRobot but maps only show occasionallyApp works well for me except I hardly ever see a map of where it’s cleaned. Not sure why this is. It shows a map every now and then, maybe 1 out of every 10 cleans. That’s frustrating. If it never worked I’d think it was a setting issue, but as it works now and then maybe a bug in the App? For this reason I’ve only given 3 stars. I’m using it with the iRobot 980. If anyone else has this issue and know how to fix please leave a comment..RidgedidgeVersion: 7.1

✓ Great AdditionAs a senior citizen with painful joints and back I have found my iRobot vacuums a wonderful addition to my home. I have been so delighted with the convenience and performance of iRobot I purchased two. The iRobot j7+ and iRobot i3 both which empty themselves when their tasks are done. Because there are tight spots in my home where the iRobots can’t access I have a lightweight rechargeable vac which I use . I am 83 and not a techie but I can use the phone app to set my robots to work from the comfort of my armchair. I replace my bags about once every two months. I consider myself lucky to have discovered these devices which prolong my independence in old age..Mariner CovVersion: 7.6

✓ Great piece of useful techWe bought our first automatic vacuum cleaner quite some time ago and I have to say the tech available has come on leaps and bounds. Cameras and sensors stop the unit falling of steps, I love the interaction with the app and the tidy up option (it shows pics of obstacles on the floor, you have the option to pick them up and ask the unit to go back to those areas). Select options to target specific areas, I can have the dining chairs and the coffee table moved out of the way and set it cleaning those areas whilst I’m doing other things, it can even detect when you leave before starting cleaning so it doesn’t interrupt you. We bought our unit as I’ve had surgery and need quite some time to recover and the boys (my husband and grow up son) decided manual vacuuming wasn’t for them, despite my chastising. I’m super pleased with it, it’s doing a fantastic job. I would definitely recommend and suggest a unit with a large capacity base particularly if you have dogs..HM-ukVersion: 6.6.1

✓ FantasticDid a lot of research before buying but really happy with the i8 does a thorough clean and the app is really robust and an enjoyable and intuitive user experience..=sHoOtS=Version: 7.10

✓ Herbert is great!I am still learning how to use the app. Herbert is having difficulty getting up from the hardwood to the area rug and just keeps pushing it up. I wish I knew if he had already done an area so I can start to mop if I come home part way through the cycle. All in all though it’s better than doing it myself ( except the rug ) Oh he just figured it out. Way to go Herbert!.FlorrainebVersion: 7.12

✓ Love the iRobotI enjoy how you just program it into the app and everything starts. The only issue is sometimes when you ask Siri it is confusing. I have found if I go into and just confirm by hitting DONE then it will take the voice command..Sally HomeVersion: 7.12

✓ Big Roo Gets ThroughI’ve been using my Roomba i7+ for some time now, and I’m thoroughly satisfied. Even with some of its quirks (it’ll miss certain areas within a specific cleaning map and often will clean areas outside of a specific cleaning map + add that area to the cleaning map without being told to do so, it’s also quite a bit nosier than I anticipated, but we’ve gotten used to it at this point), I still think it deserves 5 stars. I have wood floors and a husky mix who sheds quite a bit. The dust and hair build up can get outta hand quick. We swifter daily but went a stint without running the Roomba and it was all too clear the significant difference it makes. We were constantly tracking dust and hair on our socks or house shoes, with Roomba, that doesn’t happen. The device deftly maneuvers around corners and against the edges of furniture. It will run over cords every now and again, but for the most part, doesn’t get tangled up in them. I’ve only ever had a couple of clogs, which were quickly and conveniently resolved. I haven’t used the schedule features because I prefer to be around when it’s running, just to be aware in case it runs into something. But if you’re the type who generally has an open space and remember to put things up, you could certainly take advantage of that feature. All in all, there are still at least a few improvements to be made, but for what it is, I’m happy with it!.MarleyboyyVersion: 5.4

✓ Makes dog ownership much cleanerI love dogs, but the amount of stuff they bring in from the yard is horrifying! Grass, twigs, leaves, bugs and dirt seem to be magically transported from the yard to the house on a constant basis. I used to vacuum every other day and couldn’t keep up. But now that we have Rosie, that problem is under control. She industriously vacuums night and day to keep the house clean. It really is a profound difference in cleanliness. It’s not perfect, but it is a major leap forward. Complaints are minor: the map she created of our house looks like it was done by a drunken blind man. Setting exclusion zones works, but is not very accurate. She sometimes gets lost, crashes and burns when trying to dock, or closes a door behind her and gets locked in a room. And she is noisy. But overall, she makes life around here easier, so she is a welcome addition. With regard specifically to the app, it works well and communicates consistently. I would like more control over the map, such as editing it to correct errors. And the different cleaning zones should have a “clean now” button so you can run them as needed. Why set up multiple favorites to duplicate all those areas when a simple button push could do it instead?.MadmactxVersion: 6.0

✓ Good over allLove that I can set it and go do something else. Doesn’t do a great job with cat hair..Mom of kids and catVersion: 7.12

✓ Love our Larry!Larry does the job better than any vacuum cleaner I’ve had. I just love how I can spend time on work or anything else actually and the house is ‘luxed’. If you’re sitting on the fence about one of these, get off that fence and go buy one..Min NZVersion: 7.7

✓ Good appI like the app - simple and easy to use. I love the fact you can name your robot. A feature suggestion that would make my life easier is to allow me to search for the app on my iPhone by inputting my robot’s name in the search bar (so - allow me to search my iPhone for ‘Doreen’ to open the app and not having to remember your app is called iRobot). Will carry through the delightful experience even before you enter the app..JaniPt1Version: 7.6.1

✓ Roomba + Braava M6We have an older roomba and the new M6. The roomba is a tank. It will do its best not to run into things but it really only works against walls. With that being said, I love our roomba. It is a necessity. When we leave the house, we prep the area and it goes around and around. People have said “well why have a robot if you have to still do prep work”. Well, it gets into the knocks and crannies that you do not typically get with a vacuum. When I start vacuuming, I try to finish vacuuming asap which leads to missed areas. The roomba doesn’t care. It’ll do the job. I will say, it is SO worth to get a roomba that has mapping. If this review has one thing you take away, get the mapping software equipped ones. It makes things just easier. My M6 has it and I absolute love it. It knows where to go and I can tell it to go mop where I need it to. With that said, iRobot needs to improve the user’s mapping experience. It’s difficult to draw a line in a room. Like I can’t split a room without it going from one end of the map to the other and sometimes that messed with how I design my map. It needs better functionality. 10/10 buy the robots, and buy the mapping ones..Flsoccerkid93Version: 6.2

✓ Well worth the moneyBrought just before new baby arrived - the best money we have ever spent..Steve202322Version: 7.4

✓ Couldn’t live without itIt’s great little machine, maps out your floors even when you move furniture. I have a cat and dog so have it set to work on a daily schedule and it picks up all hair and mud etc. The only reason I gave it a 4 is that because of its shape it doesn’t quite reach tight corners so I have to clean build up there myself when needed..Ice Queen83Version: 7.3

✓ Almost GreatThe app does everything it says it will etc. however what it does need which I feel is missing is the ability to give the Roomba a path of exit defined by the user or a RTB path. My base is near my table which unless cleaning has chairs around it. My Roomba thinks that the table is there with no chairs and always tries to put through them then turns around. Probably screwing up my mapping. Real pain when you only want to clean one room or two quickly outside of scheduled “chair up” cleans..Sketchie0Version: 4.2

✓ Life changingIf there is a fire, I’m getting my i7+ and M6 out first. I’ll then run back in for my family. There’re probably inside just messing up my house anyway. If you’re a man who doesn’t do a lot of chores around your house and are reading this and you’re on the fence about getting this for your house.. listen to me very carefully. Get your wallet out and buy this damned product. Your wife deserves it. Now go home, pour her a wine and watch this machine clean your floors like a pro. It’s amazing. You’re welcome..ThomsmumVersion: 5.4

✓ Pretty awesomeWe have had a few robot vacuums. we had the roomba and it did pretty good but pet hair from our two dogs would keep causing it to error and we would have to untangle the hair from the brushes/rollers ever few minutes so it would resume. we moved to a shark (since the reviews were so high and it was cheaper) and its been the worse robot vacuum ever. the schedule would say vacuum every day at 9am and it would never work. it got caught on the simplest of things. called support which was very friendly but a waste of time as they walk u through resetting back to factory and starting over (which didn't fix it) so we gave it away. this iRobot works awesome with the dog hair. does an excellent job of getting in corners. it only cleans our hardwood floors. ONLY complaint is battery only lasts (on avg) 40min. and not a fan of having to replace the vacuum base bags because they are not cheap but again, not perfect as it does get hung on a few things but it at least tries to untangle itself. i would recommend to any of my friends or family..DjzahVersion: 6.2

✓ Needs Features like: Deletion of a false roomIt would be useful to have these features: 1. Delete a falsely created room. Our S9 has twice decided to create a room that doesn’t actually exist (I think by getting stuck/manoeuvring on a doormat) it thinks it has discovered a whole new world (room) but there is now no ability to delete a section of the map or room from the app. Very frustrating as this room always shows on the map. So you either need to make the whole area a no go zone or create a job that excludes this ‘room’ or delete and do a complete mapping run again. This has happened several times, deleting the whole map each time is not practical. 2. The ability to select a specific area of a room to quickly clean as a job (rather than cleaning the whole room). That would be useful if you want it to deal with a specific issue. 3. Live map of exactly where the robot is during it’s job so you can see it’s progress. Hope you can include these in a future update!.Jon-ebayVersion: 5.3

✓ Great helpI can’t vacuum now so I find this cleaner a way to stay clean with peace of mind. It does get caught on chair legs that are unusual so I have an area I don’t use it for. But otherwise brilliant..IceysageVersion: 7.1

✓ Vacuum & MopWe have the one that does both. It’s honestly brilliant and so good for us as we have white tiles throughout the bottom floor of our home. It would be great to have an option to scan your room or something or if the robot memorises the room after being around it as it bashes into the sides often. Helps us massively with the tiles as we have to clean them a few times a day.Kazzal87Version: 6.2

✓ Sadie, my cleaning ladyThis is a better Robot vacuum than the Samsung we had. It has a much more efficient way of going about doing its job. I swear I see it thinking about how it’s going to battle the table and chairs or some other hurdle. The app works well on my apple device too, unlike...... you know who! My only complaint is it doesn’t have bristled rollers. It still works well, but it doesn’t tickle up the carpet very well..BIGfella..Version: 2.7.1

✓ New design Roomba i5 amazingThis is my third Roomba in 16 years and I can’t believe how easy this one is to clean and maintain. I have fibromyalgia and using a traditional vacuum cleaner increases my back pain. A friend vacuumed under my bed and when I put Roomba on, its bin was full!!! The carpet looked so much cleaner. I wish I had another Roomba as I can’t carry it up and down the stairs and have to ask friends to do so. Money well spent and I don’t feel useless now!.Domperignon1997Version: 7.2

✓ Game ChangerMy robot vacuum is incredible, our house is always clean and tidy. Our j7+ is a game changer for three working professionals. Beyond happy.FakeferrariVersion: 7.6.1

✓ A must for busy momsOne less thing to add to my planner, I never looked forward to sweeping, with four kids, it's a matter of hours before it needs to be done again. It's pricey, but it has saved me so much time I schedule it to clean early in the morning so when I wake up, it's clean! It also goes around shoes left in the floor, I don't have to worry it will absorb the laces. I've found that sometimes she does get stuck over climbing over the high chair legs, my toddler will wake up in the morning and say "oh no Bella, are you okay" and he helps her to her home. (Yes she's our pet) It is a bit loud, I just scheduled it to clean when I'm not in the area. It's great! It sends pictures of items or wires and you can select to block that certain area or ignore it since it's just a temporary item that can get picked up. This is my first roomba, I'd love to see how the mop works in sync with the vacuum, no mopping?!!!!! Oh gosh! Maybe later. Oh I almost forgot. I named mine Bella, I set it up with Alexa and now i just ask Alexa to have Bella clean a certain area and she heads on over there, that's my favorite part. Purchase extra filters and bags because you will need to replace often. It helps just having them handy. If you find a sale buy several of them..Lil💁🏻Version: 7.6.1

✓ Suggestions to improveGreat app but it could be brilliant if it was better at reporting. In the history at the moment you can’t tell what room it has cleaned unless you tap on each line. I often want to know when did i last clean a room but it takes ages to go through and work that out. So if the history showed the rooms without tapping through that would be good. Then take it further and it could report to you how often you had cleaned a particular room and suggest when a room hadn’t been cleaned for a while..James edward CVersion: 5.4

✓ Best purchase I have ever madeThank you so much for a product!!! Absolutely love it and tell my friends to get one!!!! Sooo goood !.NoXcoderVersion: 6.5.1

✓ Better than expectedMy husband ask for iRobot roomba for Christmas. He has everything and grown kids happy to have an idea. He has a large Rottweiler that lives with him in his man cave. He has to vacuum rest of house ( over 3000 sq ft) once a week because of all the black dog hair. It’s been an ongoing problem since he brought the dog home. He decided this roomba was his answer. He had raved about it since he got it, decided I needed one for the rest of the house(knowing it might quiet me about the dog hair), I thought he was just trying to get out of vacuuming. He went to Costco brought me my own. I have furniture everywhere. Plants, throw rugs, I really didn’t think this would work for me. I have got to say, I am shocked at how well this thing works! She goes around everything! I am loving her! I have scheduled her to vacuum 3x a week. She even goes back to her base to empty her bin! I still get out my old vacuum to do behind doors and closets, but this girl goes under tables, beds, she is very thorough. If you are on the fence, don’t be. I’m extremely happy with my purchase. My husband is too!.Gramma2fiveVersion: 6.7

✓ A good vacuuming robot but dust box is way too small.I purchased this after reading and watching the reviews. It does a good job of mapping the house and the accompany app makes setting a schedule quite easy. It does a very good job of picking up dust, hairs and bits and navigates the furniture well. The biggest issue I have with it is the size of the dust box which becomes full after doing less than half of the downstairs of our house. This means that if you set it to clean everywhere when you go out, it gets full before ending the job and returns to its charging station waiting for the bin to be emptied. In turn, it waits till you get back and empty the bin before finishing the job. If I could have afforded it I would have bought the self emptying model but at over 250€ more, I simply couldn’t afford it..G16480Version: 6.5.1

✓ Butlers ownerFab, love knowing that all the little bits are taken care of most days! Still need to get into the corners and hard to reach spots but otherwise magic.

✓ Who knew a vacuum could change your lifeSo my roomba who I have fondly named Harvey (as in the invisible rabbit in the 1950 James Stewert movie) and myself had a bit of a learning curve for the first week of our relationship. He kept getting stuck, tangled and ran out of battery before he could make it back to his burrow to charge. Then the most magnificent thing happened. I learned what needed to be moved or blocked off, my daughter learned to pick up her legos nightly and I moved the burrow (charger) to a more central location in my apartment. Now like clockwork when I leave the house on MWF off Harvey hops and vacuums up the misc things that accumulate on my floor (mostly pet hair and leaves from my house plants and they come in from the outside on our shoes). I used to vacuum 2-3 times a week with my dye on stick vacuum but now, dearest Harvey does it three times a week and even gets places that I was too lazy or ill equipped to reach. I empty the auto bin about once a month. Magic in my book. Thanks to some amazing talented engineers, I have one less chore to do..LizaBouchardVersion: 6.0

✓ Great help around the house!This is really great for keeping on top of the house by scheduling hovering times. It goes back to its dock to empty when the robot becomes full. It rarely gets stuck unless you leave shoe laces or the equivalent on the floor. It maps your home, doesn’t damage anything and is a great helping hand if you’ve got a busy schedule. We just do a deep Hoover every couple of weeks now. We’ve got the mop too which keeps on top of the kitchen floor. Great products..MrVacuumFreeVersion: 6.6

✓ Great vac, app needs upgradeThe vacuum part is awesome! I love it and it is easy to work with and cleans great once it is familiar with you house. The only part that needs worked on is the app. I’m trying to do layouts of what section of the house is what but the app seems to be having a problem and doesn’t let me do it. Also it closes on me so that’s annoying even more. If that gets fixed I’d give it a 5 star but nothings happening yet….KaraysaVersion: 5.5

✓ Mr WycherleyI have the top of the range S9 the only problem I find with it is it does not get my Chihuahuas hair off my rug other than that it is marvellous and Irobot are on the correct path I have to pick shoes up etc I thought being £1300 that it would’ve had the intelligence to avoid charging cables etc only the rubber brushes break quite easily if they get tangled with shoelaces in less than two months I’ve had to buy another set of brushes so in all I’ve replaced two sets of brushes because they got caught on shoelaces but apart from this it is an excellent bit of kit hope this helps see in this review Best of luck.Pist 123Version: 7.8

✓ Really greatI live in a flat and the robot is perfect for cleaning it. I would say that my version does not have the dust box emptying gizmo and I think that is probably worth getting because otherwise you have to empty it after every clean. No real hardship and it does mean that you can check that nothing important has been vacuumed up. The automatic setting to clean when I leave in the morning is excellent.DC133Version: 5.7

✓ Pretty GoodThe app is pretty decent, it does what is needed. You can send the robots manually or schedule them to automatically work. The mapping is quite accurate and the ability to section rooms and to then just clean specific rooms is a good function. No real bugs or issues in the few years I’ve been using it. I would recommend to friends and family so I think it’s pretty decent. I have had some issues with the robots, but the app has been great..Sessle89Version: 7.5

✓ Good at the basicsI was encouraged to buy a Roomba i7+ because the iRobot Home app is fairly accessible and the Roomba i7+, as an adaptive technology device, has been a game changer. However, my being a power user and digital native, I have some requests. I realise Apple Home and HomeKit does not support vacuum cleaners at this stage, however, iRobot can at least implement Siri Shortcuts. Using IFTTT as a workaround is less than ideal and Roomba wants to switch on my smart lights when its cleaning. The iRobot Home app needs dark mode support. The whitespace is jarring and I cannot make heads or tails of the map. Most buttons and text labels are accessible by VoiceOver but page order is confusing. For these reasons, I only use the app to do map runs, vac everywhere, dock and empty bin. I would like to take advantage of the map features and favourites but it’s a hassle..DaftDingoVersion: 6.2

✓ Good product poor support and websiteIt’s obvious that all of the work went into making the robot work as well as possible. It does work well. Pray you don’t have any defects or issues as, despite the support links and email, there is literally zero support. I hope this robot works well past warranty as I’m not sure there’d be any way to get it fixed. Even just finding the page about how much cleaner to add to the water tank was a minor hassle. You’d think that info would be in the user manual. Whoever is in charge of the website, support and user info isn’t really doing a good job. Mopping is more of a wipe down. Mop your floors first and well, then have the robot maintain it for longer than it otherwise would..Schlick6666Version: 7.11.2

✓ David StoneHas been a great purchase. I have a multi level home and I’ve mapped all the levels. When cleaning seperate levels, I select the level which I’m putting the vacuum on, and because of the mapping system it realises where it is and more efficiently cleans the areas. After cleaning you can see a map of where the vacuum has been so you know it’s been everywhere..Stoney18Version: 7.4

✓ Very goodI have the i7 that auto empties. This is amazing!!! I’m so glad I paid the extra money to have it empty itself 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Couple suggestions. 1. Have it recognise it’s on a rug and lift its wheels up a little bit to help instead of having rug fold over constantly. 2. Option for robot only to be activated by the app or put child lock on the machine. I have a very adventurous little 7mo and he is wanting to touch it when it is at the base. He keeps pressing the start button and it scared him to death when it moved or empties itself. I don’t want him to be scared of the vaccumm so maybe a child lock? :) currently I unplug it so it does when not in use which is not ideal. 3. Sell individual brushes instead of a full pack 🤷🏼‍♀️.Ems1274Version: 6.0

✓ IRobot vacuum cleaner.Had iRoomba for over a year. Great machine. We vacuum every Monday morning and it enables us to do other things like sitting outside in the sun having breakfast. The floors have to have be cleared to allow access but apart from that it is hands off. Minor cleaning is done with a small handheld and I damp-mop every fortnight. It takes about one and a quarter for the house single level and has comes with two battery operated gates or pillars to exclude areas as required. I clean the output air filter after use and replace it after six months. If you have a busy schedule it and be programmed and can be switched on remotely with WiFi..StewartinozVersion: 7.6.1
