Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works good and doesn't make as much noise as our old Rooba.

Worked great, except when I realized I paid full price for a refurbished item, I retuyit.

Replaced an earlier model. The I Robot Roomba 105 is much quieter. Works great.

I love it, I recommended it for any house It would save you a lot of time!

Model still available at Best Buy. Good price and shipping service.

Does what is says! Fast delivery too. Will recommend buying this.

Works well for our small house. Seems to have getting over a few of our carpets.

My daughter absolutely loves it. No issues so far.

Love it. It maps perfectly, you can also choose individual rooms at the push of a button.

George is the best. Even the cat likes him. Don’t know why I waited so long to get a roomba.

Does not do as good of a job as other models but then again this is the lower model. Like the auto empty feature but other than that was not impress by it.

This has easily been one of the best robot vacuums I have ever used. Setup was extremely easy, once downloaded it immediately found my new vacuum without me having to initiate anything. It has a clean layout and is easy to find the settings you use the most like setting a schedule and starting a cleaning run. Other than the app getting hung up while it was doing a firmware update and being forced to make an account instead of being able to log-in with google or apple are my only complaints software wise. The lidar system this roomba uses to learn and adapt to its surroundings works extremely well. Where some of my other robot vacuums just brute force it by running into the wall constantly until it finds the next opening, this guy set out to map my home like it had already been living here for years. Once it has mapped out the floor layout it will automatically generate zones, these can be customized from what the app comes up with to allow you to implement your cleaning preferences. Cleaning wise it seems to have enough power to leave both my hardwoods and my carpets looking pretty clean. Depending on the amount of traffic in your home I would run this more frequently, even daily, to keep the work load lower. It will detect when its full, return home to empty automatically, and then resume cleaning which is nice, uses the same behavior if it has to stop to recharge during a clean. Automatic emptying works great, the only drawback being you will have to buy Roomba compatible bags for the base station/empty station for the life of ownership. That brings us to the one most noticable shortcoming of this model, that would be the battery life and charge time. If I have this roomba clean my area rug on maximum power it will be back on the charger in about 15min. This ultimately didnt affect have a major negative impact on my experience but it would have been nice to have a bit more juice in the tank. Overall if you are in the market for a new robot vacuum to help make your life easier this is a great option to consider, great performance from the lidar system, a clean easy to use app, and good cleaning performance just a little short lived makes this a great value.

I was very excited about this item, which turned into great disappointment. Mapping my home worked great, but initial cleaning took 10 + hours. Called customer care to troubleshoot and I was told to reset and change to standard cleaning. Did this and started receiving error message that just about all parts need to be replaced. I’m thinking I just purchased a defective device so I’m returning and trying a different brand. Very disappointed!

I've used this roomba for awhile now. It does what it's supposed to - cleans floors without much work from me. Setup was easy: plug in the dock, connect to the app, and let it map the house. The navigation works well most of the time. It moves in straight lines and avoids big obstacles, though it sometimes bumps into chair legs. The self-emptying feature is the best part. After cleaning, it empties itself into a bag in the dock. I only have to change the bag every couple months. It picks up pet hair and crumbs fine on both hardwood and carpet. But it's not perfect - sometimes it misses bigger pieces of debris. The app lets me schedule cleanings or block off areas I don't want it to go. Battery lasts about two hours, enough for my main living areas. The emptying process is loud - like a quick vacuum noise. It doesn't last long but might surprise you. Maintenance isn't bad. I clean the brushes every few weeks to remove hair. The edge brush works okay but doesn't get everything in corners. It's good for daily cleaning but won't replace deep cleaning. If you want something to keep floors decent between proper cleanings, this works. The self-emptying is convenient if you don't want to empty the bin often. Good: -Self-emptying works well -Good for pet hair -Easy to use Not so good: -Loud when emptying -Misses some debris -No mopping

Roomba has been around since the start. The Roomba 105 robot vacuum with the Auto empty dock are made of quality materials that won't fall apart if bumped or stepped on by a pet. The app makes things very simple when it comes to setting up the Roomba for your living spaces layout. The Roomba will map the apartment or house, and you have the ability with the app to assign spaces like living room, kitchen, bedroom. You can also change the floor type if the Roomba does not already detect it. like tile vs carpet vs wood. In the app you have the ability to build jobs. So, if you only want it to vacuum the bedroom and nothing else it will. You can also set it up on a schedule, so you don't have to interact with it until the trash bag is full in the Dock. The Roomba leaves behind nice clean lines that give an impression of a freshly vacuumed room. Because it is automated the lines are evenly spaced and parallel. It looks nice. The Roomba also does a great job of avoiding obstacles if you happen to leave shoes or child toys out when the schedule sends the Roomba out to clean. This is nice for ease of mind. I like it.

Yikes. If you want something, that’s $300 that doesn’t clean your floors, nearly at all and then spends 30 minutes trying to locate the base definitely pick this product.

Purchased it and used it maybe 3 times before it stopped working. I threw away the box and when I contacted Best Buy because the return says you have to have the box, it was too late to return it. Best Buy told me that I had to contact the company. Well after many of wasted hours on the phone and emails to try to fix it, nothing worked. My case is still under review with the company and it’s been over a month. When I contacted Beat Buy back about the issue with the company (they told me to contact them back if I had any issues and they would contact them on my behalf) well Best Buy then told me it was nothing they could do. So basically a waste of $300

Roomba is the lazy/busy girl's best friend! I have two dogs and cats who shed profusely and track liter everywhere! With this Roomba, my floors (and bottom of my slippers) have never been cleaner. It was packaged well with step by step instructions for set up right when you open it. Set up was quick and simple, I thought it would take forever to figure out but all I had to do was take it out of the box and plug it in. I’ve had Roombas in the past so I knew they’re great little vacuums. The app basically does everything for you which is such a time saver. After a quick scan of the rooms, Louise (I had to give her a name) was all ready to do her first cleaning. My area that I use this Roomba on is very small, only 750 sq ft and crowded with furniture; a normal cleaning only takes her a half hour and she hasn't gotten stuck or lost yet. Having the AutoEmpty dock was a must for me, I have a lot of debris and pet hair to contend with and didn't want to keep cleaning it out. When it gets too full during a cleaning it automaticly goes and empties itself. The app is so easy to figure out, you can schedule a clean or start it manually. A great feature of the app is it tells you when you're due for new parts and can buy the parts directly from the app. This Roomba is such a time saver, with working full time, going to school and being a mom my time is important. Having my floors cleaned so simply and effortlessly is a huge weight off my shoulders!

This is an excellent new addition to the iRobot lineup. I have had several Roombas over the years, and this one solves a very simple problem that I've previously run into... the charging dock being on an incline. When the tires get a little worn and the inclined charging station is sitting on carpet, the roomba will simply spin wheels and be unable to charge. This unit has no actual piece for the robot to sit on, as it simply backs into the emptying dock flat on whatever surface it sits on. Setup of this robot was very easy thanks to a brand new iRobot app. The flow is smoother than the older one even though functionality is extremely similar. I run this unit regularly, roughly 3 times per week or as needed and so far, it has had no issues. The initial mapping run went faster than estimated, and the robot thoroughly cleans the entire area every time, so far without issue. You do not need to worry about blocking areas each time thanks to edge and wall detection. Since I use this on my 2nd floor, not once has it even thought about going down the stairs. I do recommend a little light when in use, as sometimes it can't find the dock in the dark. This unit is a little cheaper than other iRobot units, and as such provides excellent value in the marketplace. Highly recommend

The Roomba 105 is fun to use and relatively efficient. Setup was easy — just follow the instructions and download the app. One of the first things this little guy will do is wander around and ‘map’ your entire floorpan. Once it has that set in its brain, it’s ready to go to work. Using the app, you can easily tell it specific rooms to clean and set up cleaning schedules. If the Roomba encounters a low battery, don’t worry. It’ll find its way back home and get charged sufficiently before heading off again. Crazy! The normal suction level seems good and cleans thoroughly, both on hard floor and carpet. The transition from carpet to hardwood is no problem. It's also relatively compact, so it won’t seem to add to any clutter. When the Roomba 105 returns to its home base, the dirt cup is emptied. This helps to minimize the number of times you need to bend over to tend to any issues. My back appreciates that. The main concerns I have regarding the Roomba 105 — long hair gets tangled in the main roller/wheel. It’s a chore to take apart the wheel to get rid of tangled hair (hair can be trimmed off the roller with scissors or very carefully with a utility knife). Also, it’s a bit noisy when transitioning from carpet to hard flooring — not really a big deal though. It’s just reminding you that it’s there ;-) Do you want your life made easier? Get it.
