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.

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.

I have this robot on my main level. I have 2 dogs and a cat. I bought this after we got our german shepherd because I couldn't keep up with all the hair!! I would have to vacuum every other day if I was going to stay on top of it. This robot saved my sanity!! I set the robot to vacuum every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I usually have to do a good vacuum with my regular upright vacuum every couple weeks because the robot helps me maintain a clean floor, but I thinks its asking too much to expect it to clean up all that hair. Bottom line, I would recommend this robot, absolutely. Spend the money on the clean base. I didn't get it at first, then went ahead and purchased the clean base. Makes my life even easier. It's loud, but it cleans out the robot so much better than dumping it yourself.

Can't find home base. Consistent software problems. The worst navigation I have experienced with any of my robot vacuums. Suction fan broke after only one year. Had to get the whole module just for that motor. Part is 175 $ . Ridiculous. Should not buy the whole module. Bump system does not work properly. I have some stuff on the floor like dog bad. That vacuum trying to claim on it When it should bump and go away. No.... it's just spends 30 min to go on it. Tells me that I have to clean my base station every time it goes home if it will find it. We call him Dumb dumb. Nick name fits him well. Battery. Sucks. Had 2 to replace in a 1.5 year. Has problems to charge. Wi fi issues or app issue. One word. It sucks.

Our i3+ isn't all we had hoped it would be. We have it in our downstairs, with all wood floors. The square footage is about 800. It takes the robot an hour and 15 minutes to clean to area. It wouldn't take so long if it moved in rows as expected. But it will jump from room to room going back and forth, occasionally moving in rows. Disappointed and considering returning.

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!

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.

Quite noisy, takes a rather long time to finish the job, cannot pick up items bigger than a fruit loop and gets stuck under barstools

New owner - frustrated because it runs over the same area time and time again after charging, does not resume where it left off.
