AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers like the ease of cleaning with the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it makes cleaning their home easy, can clean under chairs just fine, and does a surprisingly good job of getting the dirt and pet hair out of the floors. It is a random cleaner that travels around on its own, and customers say that their floors are clean and they don't have to work or lift a finger. The brushes are easy to remove, clean, and reinstall. Customers also say that it vacuums the house frequently, and that they can operate it remotely and set its cleaning schedule with ease.

"...Aside from that it does clean very well it seems to be sturdier and hopefully the newer battery will last a long time." Read more
"...runs for 90 minutes, navigates around items gently and picks up the dust and dirt...." Read more
"...Performance:Sometimes the robot gets stuck cleaning the same area for 30 minutes, which can be frustrating.Recommendation:..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the performance of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it works really well, it works fairly quickly, and leaves their floors nearly spotless by the end of it. However, others say that it smashes into them all and never finishes a job successfully. It also doesn't work well in houses that are an open floor plan with multiple rooms and barely picks up anything.
"...The vacuum runs for 90 minutes, navigates around items gently and picks up the dust and dirt...." Read more
"...These parts are crappy and could impact the performance / lifetime of your Roomba. One example of that is the replacement air filters...." Read more
"...I was right. It works really well. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well it does on the rugs...." Read more
"...read other reviews before purchase, we were surprised that this did so poorly. Maybe we got a defective machine?..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the suction of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it does very well at suctioning the litter off hardwood floors, has a large vacuum suction area, and is efficient. However, others say that it doesn't pick up everything, yet it helps when it comes to maintaining cat hair. Some customers also mention that the sucker power is chefs kiss and that it has only battery-capable suction.
"...The suction is good, it gets diirt out of deep rugs and it does well in the corners...." Read more
"...up cat fluffies decently (not well, but decently), but not basic crumbs and flooring dirt. The suction power didn't seem to be that great...." Read more
"Definitely louder than our eufy but after the first run, has good suction power. This model doesn’t have mapping ability but neither did our old eufy" Read more
"...one thing we noticed was the suction power was chefs kiss I mean I could feel the blower from across the room...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the value of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it's well worth the price, while others say it'll be a waste of money.
"...I jumped at the chance to get a roomba at a good price. It’s simply the superior brand. It was up and running even before I got the app...." Read more
"...Everyone raves about them. So far I feel like it is a waist of money and not worth the hype...." Read more
"...It really does help manage the dog hair! Also great price when on sale!" Read more
"This product is not of the quality I expected. On the first use, some of the little brushes broke off...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the robotic vacuum cleaner. Some mention it's good quality, beefy, and doesn't get stuck under furniture. The durability seems pretty standard, but others say it'll fail if not maintained. The large sweeping bristles began to break off within the first month.
"...However, they still incur a ton of wear and tear like dirt, cat hair, female hair, dust, and eveything else that lands on the floor...." Read more
"...Aside from that it does clean very well it seems to be sturdier and hopefully the newer battery will last a long time." Read more
"...The thing was loud (as a few others have said), and it would bash (and I do mean bash) into walls instead of gently bumping and turning...." Read more
"...This vacuum cleaner is also very forceful; when it hits an object (e.g., a pot sitting on top of a plant stand), it may knock it down...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the noise level of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it is loud and the warning voice is not heard.
"...I love this thing. Yeah, it's a bit noisy, so I just run it when I walk out the door. Great product. Might get the one for mowing lawns now." Read more
"...Cons:Somewhat loud - It is as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner..." Read more
"...It did nothing for our carpet. The thing was loud (as a few others have said), and it would bash (and I do mean bash) into walls instead of gently..." Read more
"...The Roomba is so loud that it rivals my upright vacuum cleaner in that respect. The Deebot was much much quieter...." Read more

Top reviews
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1. Wait until Prime Day or an equivalent sale. I bought this model for $220 (tax included). If you live in the Seattle area, watch out for the Amazon deals - Amazon vans will park random places for one day only to offload products at a steep discount. The Roomba is a regular for that rotation - I've seen this model sold for $140.
2. Do not buy cheap knockoff versions for replacement parts on Amazon. Buy only iRobot products (from them directly if possible). There are a lot of versions of fake products from Chinese companies sold on Amazon. These parts are crappy and could impact the performance / lifetime of your Roomba. One example of that is the replacement air filters. The cheaper versions do not seal correctly, so dust gets into the small cracks and other mechanisms within the machine. Replacing your vaccum will cost a lot more than a $10 air filter.
3. Clean your air filter with a toothbrush after each use to reduce the clog of dust. Replace the filter every 3 months.
4. Do a deep cleaning of your Roomba every 6 months. Use a mini flathead and a small phillips to take off the front cover (you'll need to take off the small, yellow spinning brush first using the small flathead). Be careful because the threads of the tiny screw are mounted in plastic casing. Very easy to strip. Clean out all the hair around the small screw that attaches the spinning brush (after 6 months, this can cause the brush to stop spinning - 90% of the time, it's just hair - side note - this motor is also replacable for only $15 on the iRobot website).
I've noticed a fair amount of negative reviews discussing the shelf life of Roombas. People are making comments like "My cats killed our Roomba" etc. I'd like to set the record straight for this awesome company. Basically, in life, you can't get things for free. You can't expect your car, for instance, to function well over time without regular maintainence. Most people hate car maintanance, so it has become widely accepted for most people to pay someone to fix / clean their car. And, for most people this makes a lot of sense. We'd rather spend our time doing other things besides changing the oil, checking the tires, checking the radiator, maintaining the engine and so on.
For vaccums, the mechanics are much less complex than a car. However, they still incur a ton of wear and tear like dirt, cat hair, female hair, dust, and eveything else that lands on the floor. Over time, even the best vaccum will break or need repairs if it is not well maintained. In the old days, we had vaccum repair shops because people hated working on their vaccums. Then, everything possible became automated and outsourced. We could have Roomba repair shops that cost $30 to do a tune up of your Roomba. People would probably pay it. But, rest assured, the same people complaining about paying for that would be the same people who complained about the amazing Roomba - the vaccum that does its job with very little work from the human. The only thing is doesn't do well is clean itself. What we need is a cat Roomba.
My closing thought is this one. Spend one hour every three months maintaining your Roomba, and you will save yourself 50+ hours a year (a whole work week) of vaccuming. That's very simple math, but it will require some effort on the part of the human. I purchased mine on Prime Day 8 months ago. I did my first deep clean (along with the regular air filter cleaning with each use) and she is gently purring like the first day I discovered her :-).
I do not own securities in iRobot or work for them. This review is completely of my own writing.
This machine does not learn quickly, it is not using satellites and cameras to map the shifting topography of our home, and I am happy with that. What it does is wander from room to room in an apparently random fashion, and it always finds dirt. It eventually seems to go over the entire floor. We have two cats who find it loud and unpleasant, but also fascinating. They stalk it from covert locations, calculating the balance of the predator/prey relationship. Someday, they may attack it, but if that happens, I think the Roomba will survive.
Cons:
Somewhat loud - It is as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner
Needs supervision - It can't be left running home alone, because it gets stuck under furniture from time to time. It sometimes makes mistakes that could endanger its life. I block it from entering areas where it could fall off of a cliff, because in spite of the cliff detection feature, I think it might very well fall off a cliff if given the chance.
Only one phone allowed - The phone app seems to allow for only one phone per user, so only one member of the household can command the vacuum from the phone app; not a big deal for me because I just push the button on the top of the Roomba and it takes off.
Pros: It vacuums the house frequently. I am never going to do that.
It has the work quality of maybe a ten year old who was asked to vacuum the house--but unlike a ten year old, it is persistent.
The suction is good, it gets diirt out of deep rugs and it does well in the corners.
It is able to get over thresholds and it is fine around our cat dishes- pushes them a little bit but then backs away.
The only downside is thicker rugs with a thicker rug pad seem to be a challenge and the Roomba can get stuck and then you have to go rescue it. I’m going to have to get lower thickness rug pads for the 1/2” ones, probably 1/4”. Roomba seems to be fine with the 1/4” pads I have elsewhere.
Definitely recommend this product!!

To me personally, it is in top 5 purchases ever made, such a huge time saver, honestly, if you have a little baby, maybe a pet, work full time, just get the vacuum, you will not regret, my plan is to upgrade this one in a year or two, because now I am even lazy to clean it (i want to get one with a station) and later robot mop, what do you say, future is now
