Very happy!

Larry and I are very happy! wish I had bought one sooner. I love the fact that it is a vacuum and mop. It is saving me lots of time, and my arthritic shoulder is thankful too! 😊 So far, it's great at picking up Larry's hair and food crumbs! The bonus is, it gets deposited right in the little trash tank and I don't do a thing, but watch if I want. Finally a purchase that lives up to what I was hoping for!!😊

Low Quailty

Doesn't clean well. Not good for pet hair. Mopping has to be done separately.

Dissatisfied

it came with no installation directions. I tried for 2 hours before I gave up. I clicked on the IR stamp and a different model came up. I have 2 other robot vacs and did not have this much trouble setting them up.

Can it fix itself? Or do we need a replacement

Though I do love it intelligence it sometimes get stuck in strange places. I am wondering if there’s something wrong with the programming we might be bringing it back, but I am happy with his performance when it’s not stuck on stupid.

Pleased w/ Performance! Efficient, Effective l, an

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got my hands on a IRobot Roomba 1020 and I couldn't be more happy with it's performance. The setup was incredibly straightforward, I had it out of the box and running within minutes. The Auto Empty Dock is a game changer, making maintenance nearly effortless. Just dock it, and the vacuum does the rest. The suction power it has is impressive. It removed pet hair, dust, and even larger debris from both carpets and hard floors without any issues. The mopping function is a nice addition, especially for those occasional spills. While it doesn't replace a good manual mop, it does a solid job of keeping surfaces clean and shiny between deeper cleanings. The navigation tech is impressive! It maneuvers seamlessly around furniture and gets into tight corners. The biggest highlight for me had been the Auto Empty feature. After each cleaning session, I simply leave it in the dock, and it empties itself. No more messy bag changes or trying to fit my hand into narrow opening to pull out dirt. This has truly saved me time and effort. Another huge plus is that I am able to schedule cleanings from my phone and monitor cleaning progress in real time. The mapping feature shows exactly where the Roomba has cleaned. The battery life covers my entire space on a single charger and it returns to the dock when it's done or needs recharge. It's really helpful and it has reduce my household cleaning workload.

Good entry level robot vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for an affordable entry level robot vacuum this is a great choice. The suction power has been sufficient to tackle any messes in my kitchen and living room. The mopping function is adequate for spills of non-sticky liquids but wouldn't fare well with heavily soiled floors. The auto-empty dock is a lifesaver, as previous Roombas that I've owned without this feature would stop frequently during a cleaning cycle for me to empty their dust bins manually. This will auto empty and continue cleaning without me having to be present to empty its dust bin 5x a cycle. The lidar is adequate and will avoid large obstacles but cords and small items may get run over at times. The mapping function does a good job at recording a room's layout without hiccups. Overall, I think this is a great choice for those who just need a little extra help with their weekly cleaning routine.

Great value and time saving

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This combo vac has changed the game for me. Its sleek design sits at the perfect size and height so it doesn’t take up too much space. The wheels glide smoothly across wood and tile surfaces and the bin is large enough to work through my 1200sqft apartment without needing to be emptied. The filter has been working great so far - I have two cats and have not had any issues yet although I do vacuum multiple times a day on my own separate from using this device. So far the vacuum has not had any problems with navigation and it easily detects my furniture and pivots as needed.

Works well on carpets and hardwood!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really am enjoying this Roomba combo vacuum and mop system! It is easy to set up via the online manual. All you need to do is download the Roomba home app and it explains how to set up the Roomba. When you first use the Roomba, it needs to set up a map of your home. Once the map is completed, it does allow you to rename rooms and split rooms as needed if the zones are not correct. Once your map is to your liking, you can select how you want each room to be cleaned via light cleaning standard cleaning or deep cleaning. I like how you can view where the Roomba is during the cleaning process. The gray dot in the picture is the Roomba and the green lines are the path that it has taken during the cleaning process. The dock has a section where a removable bag is kept for the auto emptying after the vacuuming is complete. I will note that when the auto emptying is running it is pretty loud but it only lasts for about 10 seconds. I was concerned whether or not this would work on carpeting as my apartment is mainly carpet. But to my surprise it works surprisingly well! You can hear when the strength of the vacuum is adjusting changing from hardwood to carpet. Unfortunately in my space, I do not have any outlets in my kitchen where I would have liked to place the dock, so it had to be placed on carpet. However the Roomba easily navigates carpet and even some thicker rugs I have in my bathroom, just at a slower pace. It does come with a mop attachment and seems like that is replaceable as well. I haven't tried out the mop function yet, but I don't anticipate having any issues with it. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with this system and glad I am able to use it in my home especially with pets.
