This is my 4th Roomba. This one has amazing cleaning power and it empties itself! That's the one thing I hated about Roombas. They would clean for a little while and then I would have to empty and clean the them. So I rarely used them. But the i3 changed all of that. I have it programmed to clean every night and my carpets and floors are clean! I love it!

People complain about these being loud when they run and I really can't figure out why. It's much quieter than the average vacuum, because you're not having to stay right next to it like a normal vacuum cleaner, in fact most of the time it's in a whole other room, and especially because you have the option to run it when you're not home. So I'm unsure why that's a compliant at all. It is true that the self-emptying sounds like a jet engine taking off though. But it only lasts a few seconds. This thing is not a top of the line roomba. It is not the highest end technology that Roomba has to offer. You can't choose what room(s) you want it to do, but that's fixable by no-go-zone strips or by closing a door. The app doesn't have the mapping feature, but this is the cheapest self-emptying roomba. What you're getting is clean floors with zero work put into it. It's not going to pay your bills or groom your dog for you. That's the s9+

Great Value. But don't even think about buying a roomba without that storage tank. Our house is large, but the roomba runs out of room 3 times in one day of cleaning. It's fine with the tank because it will go back to the base and empty itself and keep going...but man would I be frustrated if it did 1/3 of the house and I had to empty it every single day.

This IBot 3 vacuum is fantastic. We had a Neto for several years which was fantastic, especially with mapping your home, but wanted the main dirt disposal bin vacuum. The I3 was the least in price, but still had the expensive mapping feature. Mapping is everything when it comes to these vacuums. The IBot knows when the vacuum is full, returns to the base, and empties. It will then return where it left off and start again. Eventually, it will return, empty, recharge, then start up again. It will vacuum out entire house easily in a couple of hours. The key is placement of the base unit free from any obstructions. The first placement was slightly tight, and it had problems returning to the base. Once I put in an open area, not one issue. Well worth the money. Don't waste your money on $200 - $300 vacuums. I tried the shark first, and that units mapping was not consistent and it would get lost. We have 2 golden retrievers and this IBot picks up all the hair! I highly recommend this vacuum!!!

This Roomba i3+ is the BEST! Couldn't be happier. Works like a charm, been using now for a few weeks and hasn't gotten stuck, does a great 'sucky' job, and empties superbly. I am amazed at how well it cleans - better than my regular vacuum! The app is working excellent as well. Wasn't prepared though for the emptying! Sounds like a jet plane taking off! Now they just need to create a drone-type contraption that will dust for you! LOL

My Roomba i3+Works well. Pros: It picks up most of the dirt. I mapped my house and now it will clean the whole house. Or just designated rooms. It self empties after parking itself. Con: it takes a very long time to clean an area. It takes some time to prepare a room.

The i3 robot vacuum does a thorough job. What I wish I would have known before purchase -- It is extremely noisy on hardwood floors and ceramic tile. The emptying into the base is extremely noisy. and I mean noisy! The base requires a vacuum bag. I don't think I would have bought this if I had known that. Before purchasing one of these vacuums, watch some videos of them in action. I spent a lot money on something, I am not really that crazy about. I would have been happier with one that is quieter and does not self empty.

The concept of the Roomba is great, but by the time it gets stuck on chair frames, and picks up things that stop it up, I have to clean the Roomba too often. It also keeps going forever so sometimes I have to just stop it and turn it upside down so it will quit. Otherwise it recharges and keeps going into the wee hours of the night. When it’s working and I’m not having to clean it, it’s great.

I have an older Roomba without the bin and I find it does a better job of mapping the house, reaching all of the rooms and completing the job. The new Roomba i3 just can't seem to map the whole house, no matter how many times I try. When it gets back to base, the vacuum that clears the bin is loud and it doesn't usually pull the pet hair out of the Roomba and we have to manually clear it anyway. I'm keeping this unit, I think I'll get it to work, but I do actually prefer the old model that I am moving into my basement area to clean.

So disappointing. I bought this for my mom, thinking that the OG of robot vacuums would be the best for her little 1000sf house. Well it wasn't, it would map the whole house and would tell her after 2 days that it was clogged. It didn't matter where it was put in her house, it would miss whole rooms! returned it after 10 days. I guess her 1950s house was just too much for this modern devise. We went with the shark model instead (which I own) and it has had NO problems.
