5/5

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] it's basically a robot with a tiny garbage truck inside! Instead of having a huge, bulky self-empty dock taking up space in my hallway, this one just compacts the dirt right inside the machine. I've gone over a month without emptying it, and it still has room for more—it's genuinely impressive. The vacuuming power is excellent, and it handles pet hair easily. However, I will say the mopping is more of a light "wipe" than a deep scrub, and since it uses LiDAR, it's great at mapping but can still get a bit "aggressive" with things like loose cables or thin rugs. If you live in a smaller apartment where every square foot counts and you want to "ditch the dock," this is the smartest solution out there!

Gets all of the crumbs off the floor like a champ

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was pretty excited to receive this product! The mapping process was really quiet so that was nice but when you actually use this product, it is really loud. We were trying to watch a show and I had to turn the volume up on the TV because the robot was quite loud. It seemed to have done the job while vacuuming so this will be a nice addition during the week as opposed to always sweeping. it seemed to have issues finding its home. I wonder maybe it'll understand where it's supposed to go once I use it more often. Overall I'm pretty happy with this product I just wish it were a little quieter.

Good little gadget!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to have this product since I am someone with shedding pets! The charging port is so convenient and small that it fits perfectly in my apartment. The roomba knows right where to go after cleanup. The navigation is a bit of a learning curve but easy enough to use through the app and once you figure it out, you're golden. I don't have another device to compare it to but it sure as heck beats using my standing vacuum every day! I will say it is pretty loud, though so I can only use it during the day. I do wish there was an option to turn off or at least lower the voice that comes through the vacuum. Another key point to be made is that you do have to remove the dustpan on this model but that is a very easy thing to do luckily

Thorough clean with highly customizable routines.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this complimentary product to review. This Roomba was simple and straightforward to assemble. The setup was a little bit of a learning curve as far as map customization goes, but after a few tries you'll get the hang of it. The adjustable suction levels for vacuuming are very helpful. You can choose a higher suction for a deep clean, or a medium to light suction for a quiet touch up. The mopping feature was easy to use. I remove the mop pad when not in use, because I did not want moisture on the carpet. It is easy to adjust routines for just the right level of clean in the rooms that need it. I loved how thorough of a clean this provided, going under furniture, into corners, and underneath cabinets and other hard to reach places. I would definitely recommend this to family and friends. I will continue to use it frequently even after this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This had made cleaning so much easier!! I love that it both vacuums and mops so my floor is always fresh without me having to do everything myself. The navigation is smooth and it cleans in neat organized rows instead of bumping around. the size is perfect and it cleans really well it gets full of hair and debris.. super convenient low maintenance and charging last a lot!! its not to heavy either but enough to clean your house! highly recommend this

Easy to just let it run! Better for flat floors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. As someone who has a dog who sheds constantly, a Roomba like this is a godsend. I think it actually works better than my push vacuum, but that's a few years old now. I will preface with the fact that I have uneven floors. I have very bumpy tiles, and vacuuming / mopping has always been a point of contention for me because getting in between the tiles is difficult. Installation of everything is easy as pie. I had no qualms with getting it ready to go, and the app walks you through it. The suction is fantastic and it picks up a good majority of the hair and dirt. It obviously can't get everything, but it gets a lot up. While this certainly won't replace a full deep clean, it's perfect for running throughout the week to make that deep clean easier. It maps out the house and gets around using the map. You can block off certain areas and it will learn to not go into those areas. It might sneak under some chairs, but anywhere there's a tight fit it will probably miss. The mop is not made for uneven floors. I might try to replace it with a fluffier mop head, but until then, what it does is fine. As you can tell from the image, it did manage to wipe most of the tile. However, you can only fill it with water. But like the vacuum, it just helps make the deep clean easier. The battery life is pretty good for a standard clean. I have a weird shaped house, so that doesn't help that it has to calibrate to find the next location. When I do a deep clean of my kitchen, with a vacuum and mop, it took about 40% of the battery to do so. Images of the kitchen and how it cleaned it are in my review. It missed a few crumbs with the vacuum and missed the cracks of the tiles with the mop, but it otherwise did a good job. Emptying out the collector is so easy. Pop it out, dump, pop it back in. That easy. Cleaning the mop is also easy, I just toss it in the laundry with some other cleaning rags and it's good as new. One issue I have with this product is that sometimes the edge sensors does not work very well. Sometimes the vacuum has no issues avoiding the edge of a stair, other times it does. I do clean the floor sensors when advised but it doesn't always work as well as I would hope. It can get a little frustrating, but it's only around one area of my house, so I just have to stay nearby to make sure it's okay. Overall, I would recommend this product for any household, but I think it would work best on a flat floor household. That and the sensor issues took away a star, but I am otherwise super pleased with this product. If Roomba ever makes a bumpy floor Roomba, sign me up. This makes my life easier and I really love it.

Quiet, powerful and beefy

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All I can say is if you're looking for a big, beefy and powerful robot vacuum that traverses on a dime, this is it and you should look no further. I've always wanted an iRobot roomba - like a dream of mine honestly and this bad boy is worth every penny and some. I'd like to start by saying o literally vacuumed my floor yesterday and this thing put me to shame it picked up SO much dirt I can't believe it. I love the mapping, the sensors underneath make it so it doesn't blindly run into things aggressively whatsoever AND it can mop?! I'm blown away. When I first started it I didn't even know it was going it's so quiet but REALLY powerful at the same time. Genuinely so in love I don't even have words.

Great Hands-Off Vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Roomba 208 is a great entry-level robot vacuum that brings everyday floor cleaning into the realm of “set it and forget it” convenience. It handles common debris like dust, crumbs, and pet hair well across hard floors and low-pile rugs, giving you noticeably cleaner floors without the daily chore of manual vacuuming. The app connectivity lets you schedule cleanings, adjust preferences, and control the robot from your phone, which really adds to the ease of use. Being able to automate routine cleanups makes it a smart addition for busy homes or anyone who'd rather skip regular sweeping. The app is easy to set up and the initial scan of the room is simple. The mopping combo is a nice feature but doesn't replace manual cleaning but for hardwood surfaces. Overall, this is a great machine and I recommend it.

Great WHEN it works, but I had several issues

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is great when it works, but I've encountered several issues with it. Setup was pretty easy for the most part. It worked great the first time I used it. It got stuck a couple times when I scheduled it to clean while I wasn't home. One time it got ahold of a phone charger that was behind the couch and got caught in it. I'm wondering it that has caused damage to the roller brush. I've noticed the vacuum making a rattling noise sometimes when it is traveling. For a couple days, I was having an issue where the the app wasn't working to start a cleaning route. Like it would only let me manually pressed the power button on the vacuum, not start it from the app. I rebooted a couple times, and remapped my apartment, and it seems to be working okay now. I really enjoy it when it works, but for the price, I'm kinda upset at the issues that I've had with it.

Hugs the corners, easy to program!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the LiDAR technology since i have both carpet and tile, making it able to detect when to mop or just vacuum. It hugs the walls and corners very tightly which is pretty impressive and its not loud on deep cleaning mode which is a plus for me. You can easily program the roomba to clean on a set schedule and even map certain areas you'd like it to steer clear from. I do love the removable mop and dust tray to prevent buildup. It cleans pretty good and is great for maintaining your home clean!
