Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

Product works really well and gets everything even when it runs out of batfedy

Tuff device, everyone should get its such a tuff device.

Purchased for a Christmas gift. Price and warranty is good. Have not used yet since it is a gift

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

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'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

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 am not able to sink with app. I get a continuous error saying cloud can not sink. I have spent 3 hours on hold and still no Solution

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.

INITIAL HARDWARE SETUP All physical components of this Roomba are of high quality. Each part, the brushes, the filters, the buttons, the lights, is made well. All of them altogether make the vacuum a very premium vacuum. It also has a small footprint, especially the base. The components can be easily snapped together. And it is pretty light too. The design is nice and sleek and it looks easy to clean, exterior-wise. It comes with an extra vacuum filter. Although the way the filter and the brush were placed in the package was done like an after-the-fact deal. It was just placed in certain crevices of the package, like it was not well-thought out. Other than that, hardware is top-notch. ROBOT AND APP SET UP The app has pros but the cons outweigh the pros. To start, connecting the device to the app is easy. I did not have any issues (IYKYK especially the dreaded 2.4ghz / 5ghz switching issue) recognizing the robot and adding it onto the app. Once it added the robot, it took a long time to update the robot. Maybe 45 minutes or more. Once it is ready, it was time to set up the robot, which has its own share of wins and woes. Map creation is great. It did my whole floor in 80% less time than other robot vacuums. I was wondering why it was already back and did not even go to the farthest corners. It just scanned the floor like it looked at it then went back, unlike others that has to go to each inch of the open floor just to get a detailed map. Then when I looked at the map accuracy, THE ROBOT WAS ABLE TO MAP IT ALL, without even going through each corner. Pretty cool. This is a big improvement-- like it's radars are very advanced, at least compared to other big name brands I have owned. App is quite wonky. First, it does not save the robot. Everytime I open the app, it has to locate and load the robot in the app. It’s like the app and the robot function separately from each other as it takes a good 2 minutes to load the robot up completely in the app. I have good wi-fi and I am beside the robot. The app is not easy to navigate. The menus are simple, however, the options are not laid out clearly and are not intuitive. For example. if I click the robot on the main menu, the robot initial setup menus are still up like “Getting started” they are the big ones that you see, even if the vacuum has already been set up. But the options to tweak it, are on the three dots, which is quite usual, but the cards take away the experience. I would rather they use cards for “child/Pet lock on off” or volume or locate robot. Another example is, if I need to edit the map or add zones, I have to go back over and over to figure out how an option happened. The path for getting to what I need to do is not clear, and it will take a lot of getting used to figure out how I got to the current choice. Now don't get me wrong. For daily tasks, there are helpful initial cards in the app that are very clear, like “Clean all rooms” or “spot clean.” This is what a regular user would need 80% of the time any way. But it takes away from the real convenience that this vacuum offers, because it does have good features like creating routines for specific clean areas that I can add. However, setting them up is the challenge, I cannot expect my wife or my mother to simply jump in this to get the best of the features. Someone savvy has to set it up for them and even the one who sets it up will not have an easy time. On some of the pluses, Google home integration is easy. It works well. I just hope there is an option to trigger an action for a specific zone. For now, I can just do voice commands or automate a Google home start action to clean the whole map. The vacuum responds fast on voice commands. I know it is a Google Home feature, but the key here is the response time of the vacuum on integration, and the Roomba does this well. PERFORMANCE Cleaning is great. It picks up even the lightest debris—very helpful for us with a messy toddler. The vacuum cleans and goes around each foot of a chair-- pretty impressive. The vacuum has tolerable noise when it cleans, even on max setting. The voice prompts are very clear. I really appreciate the child lock feature because it avoids enabling my toddler to keep playing with the vacuum. The self-cleaning feature is awesome, and it emits a reasonable volume for someone like me used to emptying vacuums on their base bins. SUMMARY This robot vacuum is almost perfect. It just needs to polish the app experience, which is huge, by the way, but I am sure can be updated post-purchase. The hardware is exceptional, and if it gets matched with a well-polished app, this will be the one to beat. For now, at the time of posting, the app needs work; not a deal breaker but worth to be worked on, because we all live on our phone experiences everyday. It is still a great device, if you can live with the correctable setbacks. I think though, the Roomba guys will do something about it.
