    My house is cleaner than it’s ever been!

    My only regret is that I didn’t buy this sooner. I don’t love the price of the replacement filters but so far that hasn’t made me regret my purchase. I don’t normally spend this kind of money but I am so happy I did. We recently replaced all the carpet in our home to LVP flooring and I didn’t like the way my feet felt dirty, even after sweeping. Now, my house is cleaner than it’s ever been. I am amazed every day when I see how much Roomba picks up. I have 3 kids and one indoor cat. Now my kids pick up their stuff because I told them Roomba would eat it if they didn’t. And I didn’t realize how much cat hair was in my house. Roomba goes underneath our beds and dressers, places hard to sweep under. Roomba is loud, I wouldn’t want to sleep with it on, but that’s ok with me. Quieter than a regular vacuum. It vacuums the rugs in the bathrooms great. It climbs up onto my fireplace which is about 3/4” high. It does bump into stuff but softly and doesn’t hurt anything. It works in the dark. I turn it on when I walk out to go to work and I get a notification on my phone when it’s finished. It’s only got stuck 3 times in 2 months and each time was understandable. It doesn’t fall down the stairs. I’ve moved it to another level of my house and it does great. I have a big rug and it cleans it wonderfully. One floor has lots of obstacles so it takes a while for it to clean but that’s ok with me. I can see why someone would want the I7 because you can tell it specifically where to clean, like under the dining table. I don’t have a problem emptying the bin every day. I kind of like seeing what it’s picked up. Plus the bags for the automatic emptying bin are an added cost. Roomba will clean one entire floor (1100 sq feet) without needing to be emptied. After Roomba runs, I can go over the floor with a wet mop and I’m finished. Just remember to read the instructions and do the suggested maintenance. I didn’t do that at first and my filter was full and hair was wrapped around the wheels. It was easy to get it off though. I hope my Roomba lasts for a while and I get my money’s worth out of it. I do not plan to ever live without one now. The picture of the stuff in my hand is about what I get every day. It is becoming less every day though because my floor is getting cleaned more often. The other picture is when I cleaned the rollers, wheel and brush.

    Like it. Should have bought it sooner. Easy to use. No remote to lose or to worry about because it works well with the iPhone app. Its activity can be followed on the app. Cleans in straight lines and not randomly. Returns to home base when recharging is necessary and will continue to clean where it left off. Sounds a signal when it is finished and as returned to home base. Let's you know when it needs to be emptied which is easy to do. It can map your apartment or house and you can pick which area to clean or clean the whole house. Well worth it.

    My Roomba is great for my apt! It goes on the hardwood floor as well as on the carpeted areas. It picks up my dog's hair and the little pebbles of kitty litter just fine. It's a little loud so I set it to run a set schedule Monday through Friday when I'm at work. Just make sure you pick up any loose cables or any other things that you don't want it to pick up. But don't worry if it does pick up stuff like hair ties or whatever you can still get it out of the catch can. 10/10 I would recommend

    Tested it now for over 3.5 hours of use. I live in a 1600 sq ft apt and the floors are all wooden tile with lips between some of the rooms. We also have an area rug (some struggle there) with a grip. Overall, the irobot i3 does a pretty good job. We have a curly haired dog and my fiance sheds all of the place as well (:-p). After allowing at least 1 hr while we were away the irobot managed to clear most of the dirt and hair which is all I really wanted. Saves us the hassle of always having to sweep and prevents our feet from looking like flintstone feet from just walking around our apt. Con: I wish there was a way to log which areas were separate rooms so you could target a specific room rather than hope the vacuum would head in the direction or have to manually move the vacuum and isolate it to the room of your choosing.

    I absolutely love my Roomba! It is a lifesaver for hard to reach areas (Ex: Under bed). Looking at the reviews, I almost returned it because I thought it did not have the mapping feature. However, you have to use the vacuum to vacuum everywhere around 4-5 times for the map icon to appear to create your rooms on the smart map. The only partial con is setting up the Roomba through the app for the first time. I retried several times before getting it to complete the setup. I'm not sure if this is related to the application itself.

    The Roomba I3 robot is a great way to help out with simple house chores. For anyone that has every owned a Roomba we all know the quality and dependability that they bring. But the real question comes down to is there any real breakthrough technology with this new flagship that warrants the price tag. I will try my best to give you any information to help with your buying decisions. First off i want to start by saying im comparing this unit to other similar units that i have tested in the past. In total i have tested about 5 other robot vacuums. The Roomba will come with everything needed to set up the unit including the base station, instructions, power cord and actual unit itself. Set up is done through the app however the app is not needed to actually use the robot. Speaking of which lets talk about the app real briefly. At this point and time the app is very generic in its design. Through the app you can set up schedules, view battery power, change your robots name and set up favorites. As of right now there are no favorite cleaning schedules that you can set up. you only have one option and in my opinion the app still feels like it is in beta testing. This isn't that big of a deal as i feel very confident as time goes on they will be adding more features to the app. So one thing Roomba does to their vacuums that im not really a big fan of is they removed one of the side bristles in place of a sensor. So the theory behind this im guessing is that the sensor is there to help with edge cleaning and deep dirt detection. That's nice and all but the issue i have with it missing the sensor is that when the unit hugs the walls to clean along the edges it always seems to hug along the side that is missing the bristle which proves pointless. However i can't knock it too much because this unit hands down does the best job at cleaning. The upgraded bristleless rollers means that if you have pets you don't have to worry about them tangling up as that will never happen however they will still tangle in the one side bristle that the unit has. The trash bin on this unit is the worse i have seen compared to other units. It's very small and if you have pets it fills up very fast. Also the exit port on the bin is tiny and does not allow for dumping of the waste to be done very easily. What i mean by this is that the opening is so small that when it comes time to dump the bin any hair or medium size debris does not empty easily which forces you to stick your hand in there and manually pull it out. This was a very big let down for me as i have personally seen cheaper units do a better job by providing a bigger waste pin while utilizing anti-static technology for hands free removal. Another big disappointment for me is the lack of no-go zone accessories. What no-go zone accessories are is strips or towers that allow you to block off certain areas that the robot is not allowed to go. For example lets say you have a computer office with lots of wires everywhere and you don't want the unit to go near the wires but you still want it to clean the room. Most units provide you with magnetic strips that you can place around the wires that will detour the unit from going near them and running them over. Roomba does not provide this and its very frustrating because i have started to notice a trend with big box companies and that trend is all about upsell. If you want to set up a no-go zone area then you have to buy these IR towers from Roomba for an additional charge. This is pretty unfair considering the price point and which they are selling this unit. Every unit i have ever tested always provided these no- go zones free of charge enclosed with the unit. Heck the newer units will actually map your rooms and display them onto a app service and will now let you digitally set up these zones removing the need of having to use strips or towers. Roomba is definitely behind the times in this area and me personally i feel they are taking advantage of the consumer considering most other competitors offer this for free at a lower price point. Let's get in to the cleaning aspect of this unit, after all that is why you intend to buy this unit. One good thing that Roomba does have against its competitors is how well it cleans. So when you first turn the unit on and have it clean, it will move around your house aimlessly with no seemly purpose. However what it is doing at this point is the AI system is trying to determine your layout and floor plans so that it can clean your house more uniform. It does not take long at all for it to figure out the layout. After about 10 mins i noticed the unit started cleaning in nice straight lines and along the edges. I have dogs that shed alot and one of the first things i noticed was how well the deep cleaning AI system performed. When the unit would go over my carpets it would detect the hair imbedded in the fibers. The circular light would light up blue indicating that it detected deep dirt and it would go back and make a couple more extra passes to ensure the dirt was pulled up. It did a phenomenal job in pulling the hair fibers from the carpet. Did it get all the fibers? No but it did just as good as a upright. Another area that the Roomba really shines in that has its competitors beat is how well it cleans around surfaces and furniture. For example all other units i have used in the past always struggle to clean under my dinning room table due to the dining room chairs. Most units would either get stuck under the chairs and struggle to get out or would completely give up and not clean under the table. The Roomba has them beat hands down in this area. This is where i really saw the AI technology shine here. The Roomba would detect what it was and would clean under each chair flawlessly hugging the legs to get a good clean then it would proceed to move under the dining table and would clean in a uniform line. It cleaned it so perfectly it almost felt like it had physical eyes that could see. The Roomba has plenty of power to get over any small raised dividers seperating rooms apart and the built in sensors ensure that it will never fall off a edge or roll down the stairs. If for some reason the unit tangles up in something it will power down and send a distress message to your phone letting you know it needs help. Another nice feature this unit offers is the fact that it is not a quitter. This unit is the only one i have seen not quit on a job that is not done. So lets say you have a big floor layout and the battery runs low before it is done with the job. The unit will return home to power up some more and then after receiving ample charge it will automatically go back to cleaning picking up where it left off. If you have the app downloaded it will even tell you through the app that it is charging and will resume cleaning once it has enough power. Very impressive. A full charge yielded me about 2 hours of run time which was way more than enough to clean my 2800 sq ft house. Charge time is slightly under a hour on a low battery. Here's the bottom line. This unit is a good unit but does lack some features. Although it does a very good job cleaning this is nothing new to the Roomba family. While other units are coming out with the ability to physically map your home on to its app services, Roomba does not. There is no real break through tech on this unit and in my opinion this Roomba works just about the same as its predecessors. Does it do a good job? Absolutely, in fact it probably cleans the best out of all its competitors. With that being said if you have a previous model just hold on to it and don't upgrade. This unit reminds me alot of cellphone carries. When new phones come out theres really nothing new other than the camera and processing speed. Its the same with this unit, there really is nothing new about this unit that makes it jaw dropping. So should you buy this? Well that depends. If you are looking for a unit that can hit every nook and cranny than ya this is gonna be the best out there. However if you are looking for something more affordable that offers more in the way of options and versatility than no i would pass on this unit as there are other units out there that provide more resources and better mapping. Also keep in mind that you will also need to buy the no-go zone towers as they are not included in this unit. Pros: -Uniform cleaning -Good obstacle detection -Long battery life Cons: -Lack of no-go zones -Small trash bin

    We first got the 600series. Then realized we need something smarter than that so we exchange it for the i3. Big game changer. I really don't think we need anything better then this one. The additional futures from the top series seems to be a little unesesary. This one is perfect fit for our needs. I adjust the settings to have it clean even if tray is full.
