Customer Ratings & Reviews

No remote control. Can only use smartphone app. Unless you want to keep redirecting the robot it's not worth the money.

This vacuum does not get a room clean. I took it back after one day. I bought the 960 and it works great! Gets the entire room quickly

Item does not pick up more work was put into the design verses it’s pitpose to pick up and clean.....not worth the money....

It’s good but gets stuck on everything and requires a lot of maintenance which isn’t advertised that way

I was contemplating between the iRobot and the Samsung and went with the iRobot and buy am I disappointed. It does the job when it works. Everyday I receive a notification to my phone that the robot is stuck, needs, to be emptied, falling off a cliff, etc. Not once since I bought has it successfully completed a job. I am looking to get rid of it and buy the Samsung bot or the Shark.

The iRobot Roomba 890 Robot Vacuum appeared to work well until the sensors and/or guides broke, so we had to return it and found out nothing could be done to upgrade or prevent this from happening again, so we returned it for a Dyson Cord-Free Vacuum.

I know that the Roombas have been around a while, but initially I was skeptical of the cleaning ability of this machine. Man, was I wrong. I have to honestly say that the Roomba does a better job of vacuuming our floors and carpets than we ever did. We vacuum very often because we have a cat. The Roomba picked up more cat hair than when we would vacuum. It is very easy to set and to download the app on your phone or tablet. From there you can program it to vacuum the days and times that you want it to. One of the many advantages over the traditional vacuum is that it can get under beds and hard to reach areas that we don't vacuum all of the time. We also love that it can vacuum our hardwood floors and carpet at the same time. With a traditional vacuum we have to change the settings in order not to scratch the floors. After using it for one week, I am a true believer in the Roomba. I would highly recommend this little guy, especially if you have pets.

In the beginning it worked great, but now it doesn’t return back to its charging dock.

Good vacuum just poor app with unreliable connectivity

this stopped working after a month, I returned it.

The brushes broke so had to exchange it for a different model

expected this robot vacuum to work its magic and clean my floors -it got stuck in several areas for a very long time and had me move it manually to have my floor cleaned. might be meant for lazy and incredibly patient people. i ended up returning this and bought the dyson animal

Poor performance..Doesnot work smart.Random movement.

I’m using this to clean a complex, cluttered, open floor plan first floor that includes kitchen, dining area, and den. It is about 800 sq feet. The floor surfaces range from hard wood floors to low pile carpet. It worked! It actually did a really good job cleaning all three areas first time out, and then docked successfully. It’s pattern is absolute madness though. Avoid watching it while it works or you risk insanity, but when all was said and done, it really did a good job cleaning. While the 900 series may be more sophisticated, I see no reason to pay the premium for my space, since the 890 handles it just fine. It would be nice if the app allowed you to tell it where to go, or there was a way to give it a rough map of your space, but really, it seems to just fine all on its own.

Roomba runs out of battery before returning to base since day 1. Every day became a hunt to find where the Roomba is hiding.

Youre better off cleaning with a broom/mop. Not worth it.

I bought it and returned after 2 days because it was not picking a simple hair and moving over the hair two or three times but not picking it up!! Very dissapointed. Thanks to Bestbuy that they processed a easy return..

Ive had my eye on one of these for a while so when the opportunity came around to test it out I knew I had to jump on it. Its very easy to setup and get connected to the internet. Instructions are very clear and to the point. After I let it charge I hit start on the smartphone app and watched it go. It did a pretty great job navigating through my house and missing stairs. The fact you can set a timer to clean your house when youre not home is just beyond me. Only Con is its a little noisey. Other than that great buy you wont be disappointed.

the roomba was not able to transition from tile to area rug. i had the same problem with samsung. i traded in for a shark and it works great.

Worked great for less than a month and then didn’t pick up anything at all. Returned and got the I7. Hopefully that one will last longer.
