Customers admire the Roomba i6 (6150) for its impressive cleaning performance and ease of use, particularly its smart mapping capabilities. However, some users find the noise level and navigation to be less than ideal, and the dustbin's capacity is frequently cited as too small. The suction power and pet hair removal capabilities are also frequently praised.

I am a clean person and vacuum regularly. I upgraded vacuum recently and it pulled up more dirt than ever. This Irobot 6150 has serious suction power. I have 700 sq ft 1 bedroom and recommend a self empty base for larger places so it can clean longer. I love it and named him the Silver Surfer.

The iRobot Roomba i6 (6150) Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum is by far the best robotic vacuum I have ever used. It has great suction power, powerful mapping technology, long-lasting battery, and blows the competition out of the water. Seriously, this robotic vacuum is awesome! Pros: * Packaging - the box is compact without wasted packaging material. It only comes with what is absolutely necessary to setup and use the vacuum. This is great from an environmental impact standpoint. * Battery life - the battery lasts a long time easily completing the 45 minute cleaning cycles. If for some reason the battery where to run too low, it will go back to the base station, charge, and resume cleaning where it stopped. * Powerful suction - I have two dogs and a cat so pet hair is always a problem. The Roomba i6 (6150) has no problems zooming around our main floor picking up dog and cat hair. It does such a great job we only have to use our upright vacuum for the rugs and floor 1x per week. This is a big improvement from the 2-3x per week prior to using this robotic vacuum. One of the well designed features included in its cleaning algorithm is that if it detects a dirty area it will give it more attention by cleaning longer prior to moving to the next section of the room. You can see this in the app when reviewing the map under "dirt events". * Mapping technology - the Roomba i6 (6150) uses vSLAM navigation to learn the layout of your home and build personal smart maps. I can say without a doubt Roomba has the best technology when it comes to room mapping. In the app you can see a render of your room and it is extremely accurate. This robotic vacuum has no issue navigating around chairs, tables, pillows, and other obstacles while many of the competitor robotic vacuums I have used frequently get stuck in corners or cannot figure out how to get back to the base station. * Efficient and quiet - the vacuum allows the user to pick time limits up to 45 minutes or no time limit for a continued clean until the entire room map has been finished. The vacuum cleans each section of the room in a methodical manner before moving to the next. The vacuum itself isn't any louder than using a standard upright vacuum. * Clean base compatibility - this vacuum is compatible with the clean base automatic dirt disposal bin. While I do not own this yet, it is on my list of accessories to buy for the vacuum due to its convenience. * App - the app is available for both iOS and android devices. After downloading, you are able to set up the vacuum (start a new job, set a schedule, see history, adjust vacuum settings, etc.). Overall, the app is very intuitive to use. Cons: * Replacement parts - the vacuum does not come with any replacement brushes or filters. While they are not overly expensive to buy, for the price of the vacuum a single replacement set should be included. Overall, the iRobot Roomba i6 (6150) Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum is hands down one of the best robotic vacuums on the market. I have been so pleased with its innovation and performance compared to the competitors I have used in the past, I plan to stick with the Roomba line of robotic vacuums in the future. Look no further, buy the Roomba!
