Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was amazing for about a month and then it started to get confused on where it was supposed to be going, then the wheel locked up completely, and the motivated out on the right wheel.

Good quality and easy to use, very easy to understand

didn't clean the floor well. was ok. I felt like i was taking more time to clean the robot than the house.

It’s ok. It works when it wants too. App is glitchy

I love how the top sensor does a better job mapping and cleaning each room and getting to picl spots however this roomba has a problem with debris particularly hair getting stuck midway up the base station

I went to return a Ring because I bought it and it didn't work for me along with the doorbell. I looked for help and no one wanted to advise me, I talked to the manager and I returned it. I got excited with the vacuum to change mine and they didn't know how to give me the best information either! This one is very noisy compared to the one I had. In short, one cannot count on advice in the store and buy without security

I decided to get the Roomba because I have two cats and a toddler. The floors are generally a hot mess and they are hard to keep up with in my busy life. Since this is a multi-purpose floor cleaner I figured I could potentially have my hardwoods and rugs tidied up. I was initially impressed by the Roomba 105 because of a few key features. I did not like keeping up with my old floor vacuum's dust bin. The fact that this unit will empty its own bin out was a major selling point to me. I also was curious about how well the LiDAR would function in my home since I have a ton of cat and kid stuff all over my floors. Would it just suck everything up or would it work around it intelligently. The quality of the entire setup is what I expected. The base/dock is stable and feels sturdy. I wouldn't expect a high-end feel from either the base or the vacuum. All the "consumable" parts such as the vacuum roller, mop, edge sweeper all felt well constructed and sturdy. It's a sturdy unit. The main user functionality comes from the app. Setup was easy and pairing with the vacuum was simple. The app allows for you to control when the vacuum cycle runs. A cool feature of the app I was able to see where the vacuum was in relation to my home. Oh another cool feature is that you can set “keep out” zones. So if my kid’s room is an absolute hot mess I can keep the vacuum from going anywhere near that war zone. As a vacuum it works well. I was pleased to come home to see that my main living spaces were vacuumed up. It was able to pick up small cat hair and the bigger chunks of food leftover on the floor by the small monsters. It did get closer to my baseboards than my previous vacuum. I don’t know how the technology works but I did see that the vacuum could detect dirty spots. It would go over the same spot a few times to make sure the spot was super clean. I wasn’t really impressed by the sensing of smaller objects. The vacuum would roll over kids toys that may have been missed by my initial clean up before the vacuum ran. If there was anything that was low profile like a block it would run it over. I kind of assumed that the front bumper would be more sensitive after all these years. I would find a few objects like our house shoes or cat bowls askew. I thought it would be able to detect those things since they were larger. Overall, it is a welcomed edition to our household. While there are things that I wish it did better like navigating around smaller object it still met my expectations.

I had really high expectations but I was disappointed in the roomba. It didn't clean good even in the deep cleaning mode. I didn't like that if it was in Vac and Mop mode it would skip the rugs, I wanted it to do both. I returned it unfortunately.

Very disappointed with this product. Although it is an upgrade from my previous iRobot, this one is much less efficient. The system is less powerful, gets stuck on door jams and throw rugs. The battery needs frequent recharging and the suction is poor. Although I've owned mumerous iRobots, this model is super inefficient

Worse iRobot I have ever owned, the i3 was pretty good when worked, this one works and is horrid, it wont pick-up dog hair, one roller so it all gets tangled up in the roller. The front roller cant come off so it just bunches up inside the wheel. Not happy with my last iRobot vs my prev ones, all the ones before were better, this one is like my first one when it comes to pick up and maint.

This thing is horrible. It is constantly stopping due to an issue with the pump and it never empties it's bin. Absolutely trash and waste of $$$. Do not buy.

If you want to see why a company went bankrupt buy this product.

Continuously gets stuck in "non-carpeted" zones. I have tile, mind you.

Horrible doesn't work well. Overpriced and needs to have a better system when mapping out hime.

Only had it a couple weeks. I thought I was upgrading from the J5 which I wrongfully received when I ordered a J7. However this robot works much worse it’s inferior. Now 3 days in a row it didn’t make it back to it’s charger and it does not empty itself. (I only saw it empty itself 2 times so far. The upgraded app that came with it is also inferior and poorly designed, not helpful at all. Will return it.

Battery life is a major issue as well as mapping rooms. Seems to get stuck on carpets as well.

I was impressed by the initial quality and fit & finish of this Roomba. The setup was straightforward and you’re guided through the process using the Roomba app. The mapping process was quite easy, and it is relatively accurate when learning where it can go, but it is not perfect. I enjoy that it’s automatic and that you can just allow the robot to read the rooms by itself. Manually adding clean zones and no-go zones is a nice touch. I did have two challenges with mapping: It has trouble dividing rooms, but this is easily solved using the “edit room” option in the mapping app. I also have sliding mirror closet doors in two of my rooms - this confused the Roomba and it thought it was a part of the room, which caused it to bump into the doors constantly when cleaning. Again, this was fixed through the app. Overall, I am impressed at its cleaning capabilities on carpet, but let down on hard flooring. I love the clean lines and cleaning thoroughness that the Roomba has on carpet. It has trouble picking up some things. I’d say that it gets the carpet 98% clean. This is better than previous models. However, it seems to be having trouble on hard floors. I had to get it to clean a room four times before it got most of the dirt - and it wasn’t that dirty. It just doesn’t suck everything up. Another issues is where it transitions from hard floors to carpet. It leaves crumbs and dirt at the base of the transition and it doesn’t clean them up. Since I didn’t have these issues in the past, my hope is a firmware update will come along and fix this. The mop feature is nice, but it is definitely not meant to clean up a lot of dirt. The machine can maintain clean floors, but it doesn’t scrub dirty surfaces. The app has quite a bit of features, including scheduling cleaning and manually having it clean certain rooms - even the level of cleaning (vac, vac & mop, mop only – then select a light, medium, or deep clean) and I find that really useful. It automatically recharges and empties the dust bin while it’s cleaning. Then it returns to the exact spot where it left off - but ONLY if it’s on the floor that the charging station is on. When moving it to a different level, it forgets how to resume cleaning. I also really like that it has the ability to see in the dark so I don’t have to turn on all the lights for it to be able to clean. For the negatives, I find myself having to frequently quit the app so I can tell the robot to do another task or check the battery level. It doesn’t update sometimes unless you restart the app. It has also gotten stuck a few times, mainly on rugs. It tends to curl up the edges of rugs almost every time runs over some of them. On occasion, the curls get jammed, so I have to rescue the robot. I think for the price, this is a competitively priced product. There are better options on the market, but they also cost a lot more. I would recommend it to a friend who wants a good, entry level vacuum and mop.

Returning this device as it does not work well on my floor

Thought it would just mop instead of mop and vacuum

I was anxious to get this all-in-one unit that vacuums, mops, and collects the water and dirt in separate receptacles for easy disposal. The unit was easy to setup; the hard part was deciding where to put it in my home, since I would like it to clean the entire main floor, but our bedroom suite is "2 steps down". I decided to be selfish, and use for our large master suite. its quiet and does a pretty good job of keeping the flooring clean, as most of our suite is travertine. The vacuum is thorough and dumps the picked dirt regularly and I like being able to adjust the suction power as needed. The mop seems to do a good job too, but I'm cautious that it doesn't get the floor too wet due to a potential slipping issue. As with vacuuming, I like being able to adjust the amount of cleaning solution put on the pad. I like the option of being able to choose vacuum only, mop only or a combo of both. I think I prefer the "only options" better, that way I can track where it's either vacuuming OR mopping, as I'm concerned about getting my wool area rug wet. So far, so good. The mop's cleaning pad is easy to clean The app was intuitive and easy to use and program the ROOMBA. I liked the LiDAR was pretty accurate and repeatable. The ROOMBA knew where it was and where to resume at if it had to return to the base system to dump dirt of refresh the pad. You can use the ROOMBA via voice commands through Google, etc. However, we're not into using VOICE and talking to the "air" so programming ROOMBA with the app and accessing changes that way was more comfortable. Overall, I think the ROOMBA 105 COMBO is a greatq timesaver for us old folks, and I would highly recommend to everyone.
