Junk

I have trouble with it every time I try to use it. It says it has an error but doesn't tell me how to correct, and I get errors trying to open the user manual from the app.

Sorry I bought it

I bought this in January and have really tried to like it. But I don't. It justice stop, says it full when it is not and the brush on the side does not do a lot. Had a Eufy vacuum that worked much better. I thought this was an upgrade it was a major down grade.

very disappointed

I love my old Roomba so wanted to up grade. This one will only clean one room. It will go to other rooms but not vacuum the blue light comes on and it is looking for it's base. If you program other rooms it gives an error. Tried to go online for instructions but website doesn't exist anymore. Taking it back.

Needy Roomba

I hate this vacuum. It never just does its job constantly says bin full and is seldom full. It either stops before it gets full or won't even start saying it is full. It sends messages saying itnis stuck, sitting in the middle of the floor after drops dirt where it is "stuck".

Stay away

Wow. We had one of the original Roomba's. This piece of junk is definitely not that in any way shape or form. It gets stuck in the same place virtually every time it runs. EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. The original had fiber brushes that were much more effective than the rubber ones on this model. It refuses to continue if the miniscule collection bin is even slightly full. I made the mistake of buying two of these things before Christmas. Really sorry now.

works great for a few minutes.

This vacuum works great and makes great lines, however it seems to get stuck on everything. It gets stuck on rocking chairs, bed frames and any sort of tight corner. I honestly get more texts from the roomba about being stuck then anyone else. I'm really considering returning it and finding a better product.

Don't Throw Your Vacuum Away

I thought I was upgrading to a superior product from an off brand purchased on Amazon. That wasn't the case. Outside of the noisiness of the iRobot, the buggy app which I've stopped using entirely, this iRobot pushes dust and dog hair around leaving little piles. It's very disappointing.

great

I love the robot! You have to keep it cleaned out to keep it working well- but that is expected! I found a great cleaning device- canned air! Use it on our Dyson Vacuum also! Tip- Keep the filter cleaned on any of these products- this is the key to having them last a long time.

Reconsider Your Purchase

When the i1 is “working”, it works….Comes with a 1 year warranty. After less than 6 months it went haywire, getting “stuck” on nothing and dragging the base around with it. Took almost a month for IRobot to send me a box to ship back for repair. Now I'm being told it will be 2-4 weeks (hopefully) before I get it back, leaving me 2 months without a working machine. I bought the extended warranty but it will not be honored until the manufacturer warranty expires. Not a very happy customer at this point and would definitely not purchase this again. I do not recommend this to family or friends.

Works Great ( when it works, otherwise it sucks)

had this unit for 4 months, we have already replaced the brushes, rollers. sometimes it wont charge, sometimes does what it wants on its own. Now, it stopped working. no idea what is wrong. either it wont charge, or just wont work. not sure which. I'm returning it to Sam's club, tired of messing with it.
