Vacuums like a dream! Just download the App from the App Store and the Robot is off running doing its thing. Cleaning is not so much of o big chore anymore since I bought the new IRobot Roomba j9+. This little robot takes is very simple to setup, first download the IRobot home App follow the simple setup instructions connecting it to your home net work. Then set up a mapping of the entire house ( will take 90 minutes or so) then set up a schedule within the App. Once all that is done it's off working for you. The home docking station is where it will charge and empty its container of dirt from vacuuming the floor. The Robot is pretty quiet while it is running its coarse, but while it is docked and cleaning out the dirt it has collected into the filter inside the docking station it gets pretty loud. The bottom has two rubber wheels that grip really well on carpet or tile and has sensor and cameras that detect objects. Overall it's a really great vacuum and cuts my cleaning time in half.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoy my new Roomba. This Roomba does exactly what you would expect it to do, vacuum up enough to keep you from having to do it all the time. Is it perfect? No. Is it helpful and convenient? Absolutely! I have a 2 bedrooms with all hard floors and no pets and the robot cleans really well.

I had a Roomba before but with pets who sometimes left deposits on the floor, I got tired of taking the vacuum apart to clean it. I bought this one because it would avoid those deposits. I find it is quieter while vacuuming. I don't think it cleans as well. I find there are crumbs or dirt where the floor goes from hardwood to area carpet. Overall it does well. I have not had to take it apart except when it vacuumed up a ribbon. It takes pictures as it vacuums as proof that it did it. It is very noisy when it empties its bin but that is only a minute.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Setup for this robot was very easy and I was surprised at how quickly and accurately it was able to create a map of the house. The object detection was very helpful in planning for scheduled cleaning and creating zones for the robot to clean.

I loved my Shark. We have 90% luxury vinyl plank and 10% carpet. We have a dog and live in the country where we bring in fine dirt on our shoes. The Shark worked great for us. It was scheduled to come in every day and it ran for hours. We had it empty every 30 minutes, charge, and keep going. Our dog never has accidents.....until one day in September. My husband was outside blowing leaves and our dog was inside. She pooped on a rug that was under our kitchen table. The Shark ran over the poop, dragged it around, and I'm guessing it tried to empty at least twice. It was not a pretty site or smell. We shared our story and pictures with family at Thanksgiving and everyone had a great laugh. We had to throw everything away, but plan to purchase a new one once we save money.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Much better than the previous generation models. The roomba moves in more straight lines rather than randomly. This is a huge bonus, also it takes pictures to help make decisions! This is a total helpful overhaul. The only reason for 4 STAR is sometimes it gets stucks on bumps into things too hard and tips things over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted a Roomba and this vacuum does not disappoint! It comes with everything you need to get started right out of the box, along with an extra filter and edge sweeping brush. Once unboxed, you plug in the charging station and download the iRobot HOME App which walks you thru set up (if you prefer, you can access the owners guide online as well). I have been using the vacuum for a couple weeks now and it's still "learning" the best cleaning routes (your vacuum will explore and learn the best cleaning routes using it's front-facing camera). I love the Easy to use App (you can name your vacuum, ours is "Spinny Winny"), the vacuum Cleans well and avoids obstacles (like shoes, chairs, etc.), it has a bright light as well. I am a pet owner (2 dogs) so there is constantly pet hair everywhere no matter how much I vacuum. My dogs are not as excited about the vacuum as I am LOL! I have never owned a Roomba or any smart vacuum before so I'm still learning how to set up cleaning routes, automate cleaning, etc. The app is super helpful and there is support on the irobot website as well. Overall, I am really happy with my new vacuum and having clean floors and carpets each day!

For how much was spent on this item I thought it would be great. Honestly the cheap shark vaccum i had before this did just as good. This vaccum is always missing piles of dog hair on the floor. I have to run several times a day and still don't think it gets everywhere. Really just not impressed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The roomba has honestly been a godsend for my household. I have three cats, two toddlers and a messy husband, so my floors are basically always dirty. I'm also 7 months pregnant so the idea of getting the vacuum out and vacuuming everyday is not ideal. I don't know how I lived without this for so long! First of all, it was EXTREMELY easy to set up. I'm not super tech-savvy and even I could figure it out. The app is very user friendly and I love that it shows a map of the house and even specifies carpet from hard floors and shows really dirty areas. Once it learned the floor plan, I was able to box off areas that I want it to avoid (specifically, the cat food/water and a squishy anti-fatigue mat I have in front of my sink). I love that the roomba self empties into the canister (and that thing holds A LOT). It also stores an extra bag in the top so you always have one on hand! I currently have the roomba on a schedule to vacuum the entire first floor every night at 1 am after we're all asleep and it's so nice waking up to a freshly vacuumed floor. I'm also able to specify exactly which room I'd like it to vacuum at any given time. As I mentioned, I have three cats and unfortunately they're old and vomit a lot and of course that tends to happen during the night when the roomba cleans. This roomba is so smart is literally doesn't run over the vomit! Somehow this roomba knows to steer around it! (It actually has a camera that helps it avoid cords, vomit, etc. It's amazing!!). I absolutely love this roomba so much (we named it Roombie lol). It's nice to look at too, definitely not an eyesore like others out there! I can't recommend it enough!!

These roombas are the most difficult things to use and set up even for a young person that is good with technology. My roomba took at least 10 tries for it to finally connect to our wifi. After a week it somehow got disconnected again and after several attempts to connect it again it has the error 25. I tried to reboot it but now it's just dead/froze and it's only a week old. Not to mention my first one had to be sent back because it would not work for longer than one minute because the bumper kept getting stuck.
