Great purcahse!

Does a great job!

This Roomba cleans well, programmed relatively easy, and leaves straight vacuum lines. This all sounds ideal, but if you have a pet that sheds the vacuum bag will NOT last anywhere near the amount of time it says it will. I run mine daily and sometimes I can go a week, and sometimes I can go 2 days before the bag full light turns on. If they were relatively inexpensive it would be one thing, but if I have to replace it 6 times a month, that's $40 just on vacuum bags. I purchased bags that unzip to dump out on Amazon, but you have to stick our hand in them to pull out the gunk and they leave a mess behind. Do yourself a favor and (if you have a pet) stick with the other brand named after an aquatic predator, it's container easily empties into the trash.

So this vacuum is an unimaginable disappointment... It is constantly stopping, not finishing the job, requiring assistance, not connecting, not emptying... Its a very expensive vacuum to have to follow it around and fix it continuously... I have not once had it complete the job... the battery life is also a joke... I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it does a good job cleaning when its in between requiring assistance...

I wouldn't say this is life changing, but it's definitely something to write home about. This little robot has been awesome and being able to set the time it cleans helps immensely. I can choose what days and what times I want it to start cleaning, which is great for our home routine. We have a dog, 2 kids, and all have pretty long hair. Since this roomba's birthday, our house has been clean more consistently because it cleans no matter what (as long as it's not stuck, the bag isn't full, and they're isn't any clogs. It seems to pick up pretty well too, from crumbs, to the countless sequins my kids leave around the house (trying to physically pick those up off of hardwood is horrible). I've been satisfied with this little guy's performance. As for issues, I set our robot to do only one pass, but it seems insistent on cleaning our living room multiple times; especially when it wakes up from it's mid cleaning charge. It seems to forget where it cleaned sometimes, which is okay, but it's just cleaning a clean area. I'd like the ability to choose which room it cleans, as some rooms (my office) needs extra attention because that's where my dog spends most his time. Overall I've really enjoyed the ease of use, simple setup, and cleaning abilities of this robot.

The Roomba i3 is a basic robotic vacuum with mostly entry level features with the exception of the self cleaning base. The software is lacking compared to higher end units but this isn't a higher end unit. The dual brush system is excellent; well built and easy to clean. Overall the unit is also designed and built very well. The software side, which I found lacking, would likely persuade me to purchase a higher end unit.

Our roomba worked good for a few months and since we've had nothing but issues. It does not map the house and cleans the same areas over and over and over. it constantly gets stuck and or lost when it shouldn't. And now it looses it's connection to our WIFI almost daily. The base is located right next to the router and can never stay connected. Very disappointing product for the $$$ we spent.

Love the fact the it empties itself when it docks, into a vacuum bag! However, emptying out the dirt tray is a bit loud. But it's awesome not having to pickup the iRobot in order to empty it out. It did get stuck under the couch a few times, but it fine. When it came to the edge of the stairs it figure it out did fall the stairs! Overall, my floors are clean and it's great!

I have had the i3+, Rosie, about 1 week at first was wasn't so sure but she has been learning the house and I have been learning how I can help her. She is working out marvelously! A few adjustments with my rugs and table placement were necessary but now she cleans in a method that works for me. I recommend being home for her first few runs so you can see what needs to be adjusted in your home.. She requires some grace but if you let her do her job it works great. She takes about 4 hours, and a recharge to clean my 1500 sq feet main floor. When she encounters the dogs she will lightly tap the dogs, go around them, then they move and she will come back and clean under where they were. She is not as loud as a regular vacuum, more like a remote control car. I hope she lasts!

This thing drops wifi everyday for unknown reasons. Have to be restarted EVERY DAY. It sits right next to the wifi router so there should not be any connectivity concerns. I had an older 9XX model that never did this. Very disappointing and annoying, especially when it disconnects during cleaning. Actual cleaning performance is what you would expect from Roombas. Not particularly intelligent or efficient, but gets the job done eventually.
