Customer Ratings & Reviews

We had a Samsung and it wore out after a couple of years. These robot vacuum cleaners are finicky and troublesome so we deliberately bought a moderately priced one instead of a fancy expensive one. The good news is that it runs around very energetically and cleans the floor. Our main floor is very large (probably over 1000 ft.² and five rooms). It does an OK job. It gets underneath the furniture and in the corners. The little brush does a good job of getting in the corners that the Samsung never got in. Another good thing is that it is very simple to operate and it works well with my iPhone. Here are some of the things that annoy me with it: number one, it occasionally has trouble finding how to get back home. That is not too big a deal because my phone notifies me it’s trying to get home and I can see it struggle. So I just go pick it up and put it in the neighborhood of the base station. The thing that annoys me the most is how difficult it is to empty it. I hate opening up a capsule and dumping a bunch of nasty dust and fibers into a garbage can where it spreads up from the garbage can in a cloud. The Samsung was just the same way. Except this stupid Roomba e5 has such a tiny canister that the carpet fibers make a nice tight wad and you have to stick your fingers in the nasty dirt to get it out. So I don’t recommend this particular vacuum if you have a lot of carpet. We have some small amount of carpet upstairs. The last problem I have with the vacuum is that it climbs up onto the legs of some very stylish chairs we have. The legs are perfectly designed to allow the vacuum to climb up under them and get his self stuck. We had the same problem with the Samsung vacuum. I honestly blame it on the furniture makers. Furniture designers should test their furniture designs with automatic vacuums to make sure they don’t cause problems like this. I attached a Photo to the review so you can see the legs on the chair that causes a problem. You can see that it is perfectly designed to capture robotic vacuums. We have many rooms and their most advanced model would probably have performed better to navigate all five upstairs rooms and be sure that it covered all of them. But I was not about to shell out $1000 for a device like this that can be really flaky and disappointing. Anyway, I was exhausted trying to find The perfect robotic vacuum cleaner. I finally gave up and picked a moderately priced one. I’m actually reasonably happy despite my complaints. And for this price if it burns out in a couple of years perhaps they will have a better model by then. I wish I had a robotic vacuum that had a more sanitary way of disposing of the dust.

How have I lived my life without Roomba! My floors are extremely clean with the roomba cleaning an hour a day. I still do a deep clean once a week but the left over debris is minimal. The only complaint I would have is how loud it is.

I love the Roomba e5. Although it doesn't have the mapping capabilities of the more expensive Roombas, it does a thorough job. It is more powerful than the other Roombas and takes care of cat litter and pet hair better than my stand-up vacuum. If you accidentally leave a charging cord on the floor, it will find it. But, removing stuck objects can't be any simpler! I am deeply satisfied with this product.

I purchased the iRobot about 3 weeks ago and was excited to use it. I’d been wanting one for years, but didn’t like the price tag. I hate doing floors and this gadget gets the job done, but it takes forever. It doesn’t follow any pattern...just goes all over the place without any rhyme or reason. Doesn’t complete one room before moving to another. And, it never returns to its home base when I order it to.

This little guy is a powerhouse. So easy to setup with surprising results. It’s fun to watch it work around the house and then dock itself when done.

This roomba works super well! Really easy to setup and to maintain, does its job very well even if it needs a little help for the owner.

I love that my wife now has one less job to do ( homemaker ) so her daily work plate has a lot The robot is awesome and she hooked it up to our Google Nest home system and she named it Fernando so she tells the Google Hub in the kitchen have Fernando work and he starts sweeping While Abba Plays And the dog dose not attack Fernando

I love it. I have a cat and a dog, and it does amazing to pic up there hair and cat litter, I would of given it a 5, but when it picked up long human hair one of the green rubber brushes began to split from the hair wrapping so tightly, so I check it very often.

I regret not getting this sooner! Picks up dog hair, dirt, sand all with apparent ease. Has saved me so much time since I can still be working while this runs in another area of the house. According to the app, it’s run for over 11 hours total. I have luxury vinyl plank flooring, hardwood flooring, and area rugs. Does a great job on all my surfaces!

The Rhomba e5 with WiFi connection is good so far. The only con is that it has no pattern in its direction and misses a lot of parts but by repeated trips around the floor area it covers the parts that were missed. It is programmed to start cleaning a certain time, it does the job efficiently. It works well with Alexa at start and home command. It has taken the daily cleaning job from us.

I decided to go cheap and buy the roomba without mapping. I would advise you to pay more and get it. It will go for hours and still have dirt on the floor. I have to make it go where I want by blocking it with my feet. It also gets stuck under my furniture.

Looked for the + version, settled with just the system, which works as well. Especially if you don’t mind emptying the bin once a week, since I don’t have a lot of traffic, it works out just fine. I have it at on a routine a few days out the week and noticed a setting, if the bin is full it won’t vacuum- that’s just a small reminder. Overall, love my J7

Easy set up and easy to use and makes my life a little better.

I love this iRobot. It gets the job done. Just make sure you clean the brushes at least once every three weeks just in case hair gets stuck around the brushes so that it will work correctly.

Wish it could hold more - takes time for it to learn how to dock itself. Wish it changed wirelessly somehow... Does a great job picking up dog hair! Love it!

I purchased this a few weeks ago on impulse as I have a cat and dog so pet hair is always everywhere. It does good on hardwood floors but you must remove everything in order for it to be perfect. Spend a bit more money and purchase the shark. It scares my cat tho..

We love our Roomba, best thing ever bought and very useful

We are really enjoying the Roomba! From what we are seeing it does a pretty good job of basic cleaning. Our couches are just far enough from the ground that it is able to go underneath and clean as well as our coffee table. So far we love this little vaccum.

I love our new roomba (well technically its my girlfriends early Xmas gift) but we both love it and have been using it every day since we purchased it!! It picks up a lot more than we both thought it would and the schedule app that we use on our phone is amazing with it as well!! Definitely worth the purchase!!!

I loved it, I couldn't live without it, it does a good job, which a conventional vacuum could not do, since it goes into all the places where it can fit and collects everything, I recommend it and if it broke I would buy it again
