[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a game changer for households that need daily vacuuming and mopping with minimal effort. I still plan to manually vacuum occasion to get behind doors and reach areas that need a small attachment, but overall I'm extremely pleased with the performance of the Roomba mop/vacuum combo.
I'm amazed at the immediate transition between mopping and vacuuming on hard floors vs carpets. The sensors are incredible. I've run through several cycles and it's so impressive how the machine takes care of itself: it empties the dust bin and cleans then dries its own mop pads! It easily docks and charges in between cleaning cycles .
The only pain point was the set up, due to the buggy app. One crucial point is that you need a 2.4ghz network to connect, which is common for devices like this and smart plugs, for example. I was able to connect and set up very quickly, but then the app needed to update and after that it couldn't find the Roomba. Once I restarted my phone, my machine showed in the app again. Since then, everything has run really well.
It takes about 1.5 hours to finish a 1200 sq ft place. The app makes it easy to track its location and progress and keeps a cleaning history. This is a big step up from the original Roomba we had years ago.
