The i3 Roomba has all of the power of a standard upright vacuum but in a much easier to use robot vacuum. The associated app is easy to navigate, setting it up was a breeze! Once the app and robot have synced cleaning your floors is as easy as touching a circle on your phone. The scheduled cleaning feature is amazing as well. The disposal bin is in a class of it's own. While a little noisy, the level of noise is well worth not having to clean the bin on the robot after each cleaning on your own.

I didn't realize how long I took to vacuum or how annoying it was until I let it run for hours without me having to do anything. It gets under most of my couches and tables and can sense stairs before it falls down. The suction is great, and it even grabs the kitty litter that spreads around my basement. The only problems I had were corners and some other tight areas, but I'm already saving so much time using this Roomba, that I don't mind doing a once over to get stairs and some corners.

My daily source of aggravation, this i3+ constantly gets stuck on the swivel base of my living room chairs and inside the legs of my chairs in the dining room and breakfast nook. Support tells me to put up the units to keep the vacuum out of those areas which are three large spaces in my house. Pretty silly to have a robotic vacuum and still have to manually vacuum a big portion of my house.

This unit cannot pick up pet hair on rugs, it just balls it up and leaves it in piles. After owning the unit for 8 months I've had to call support twice to replace various modules. For now, I am going to demote it to the master bedroom which is on a different floor, and buy another brand for the main living space. Once it breaks after the warranty expires it will go straight to the trash

Assuming the i3 price is a more entry level price for a Roomba I would include that the overall performance of the Roomba is very good and over time the learning logic is better than expected. It doesn't appear to do as thorough a cleaning as our Ecovacs Deebot 901 but not knowing the price that may be an unfair comparison. Additionally, while the auto-emptying bin works well it seems it is louder than necessary and the inability to re-use the bags or easily see in them to retrieve a toy for example are disappointing.

Pros: The Roomba is a life saving vacuum for a husky owner. It vacuums on schedule every night and ad hoc when we leave the apartment for the dog park and keeps the floors quite clean. I only need to use my regular vacuum for crevices or occasional spot cleaning. I also REALLY like that you can easily pop out the little navigation wheel to remove hair and other buildup. Maintenance in general is also very easy. Cons: It can get stuck from time to time so I have essentially partitioned off certain areas and sometimes need to rescue it. However a manual rescue is probably 1/15 vacuum trips and is sometimes because I left an iphone cord on the floor or something.

So far the i3+ is working pretty good. It does get stuck by my sliding glass doors and I have curtains and blinds but it still tries to keep going in these areas but gets stuck. It's not to loud when it's running but once it empties wow it's like a jet plain is about to take off. It's so loud it's not funny. My cats run for there lives and my birds run to hide or take off frantically to get away. In time I'm hoping they get used to it but this happens every time it docks to recharge and if the vacuum isn't done it will recharge and do it's job come back and empty the bin recharge again do it all over again till the job is done. That's fine but that means the jet sound goes off multiple times as it goes through the whole job in a few hours.

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.

I rarely ever come back to give a review on a product, but I had to on this one. If you are on the fence about buying this i3+, let me give you some tips. We were unsure how well the self-emptying feature worked, we turn on Roomba twice a week, and 4 months later, we still haven't cleaned that bin once. We were unsure how well it would clean under furniture, it does a great job. Something that I learned quickly about Roomba was that it is very thorough. What I would recommend is for you to turn on Roomba when you leave the house. When you come back, he should be back at his charging station finished with the job. The last problem we had was if the Roomba i3+ could go to a different floor, and the answer is yes! Just place him somewhere on that floor and he will do his job and come back right where you put him. We thought that Roomba would assist us with cleaning, but it has taken it over, we haven't used our stick vacuum once since we got Roomba.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this product. It was super easy to set up and start charging. The app to download is very user friendly. I have a home with hardwood floors and some carpet. When I was ready it took off cleaning our large living room that has hardwood floors. It easily transitioned to the carpeted areas without missing a beat. We have dogs that shed like crazy and this product works great picking up all the dog fur. When it was full it parked itself back at its base to empty and clean the debris bin. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to cut down on their cleaning time.
